Men lie more than women

Men often cheat than women, the researchers from the University of Hertfordshire. On average, a man lying three times a day, and a woman - two. According to the author of the study, professor of evolutionary psychology Karen Payne, the average man lying 1092 times a year, and a woman - 728 times.

It is interesting that women often tell a lie about the value of new things - and they call her friends overpriced purchases, and husbands underestimated. Also, women often lie on the phone, when they say that are busy or do not hear the interlocutor.

Representatives of the stronger sex more often resort to lying when it comes to relationships, the researchers note.

"Lies - an extremely important and necessary feature of human. She helped our ancestors to enter confusing enemies in the struggle for resources and survive "- explained Karen Payne. However, she noticed that the historical justification has only men's false, since it is men who were of old miners resources.

The statistics also says that the more socially active person, the more he has to lie. It turned out another curious feature: introverts are less likely to cheat than extroverts.
