You Know Guys Are BS’ing When They Tell These 10 Lies

For some reason or another, guys seem to think they’re slick when they lie about stuff. It’s not that they think you’re stupid, it’s just that they don’t understand that you’re smart enough to know when they’re BS’ing, especially when they tell these 10 lies:

  1. “My phone was on silent.” Maybe he’s not lying about his phone being on silent, but it’s definitely an excuse. He had his phone — maybe not all day, but he had it at least once during the 10 hours you went without hearing from him. He’s lying and instead of just saying, “I didn’t text you back because I didn’t want to,” he blames it on his sound setting. Lame.
  2. “I’m not attracted to her at all.” Lie! I don’t even know who the girl is, but I’m sure he’s attracted to her. She’s attractive, isn’t she? He would have to be crazy to not think she’s hot —  even you’ve got a slight girl crush on her. Why can’t he just admit she’s attractive? Honestly, it just makes him even more suspicious. Now you’re starting to think he might be more than just attracted to her, he might be really into her.
  3. “I fell asleep right when I got home.” Did he now? So, the second he walked through his front door, he fell to the ground in a deep sleep? No way! He got home, probably ate some dinner, watched a little TV, took a shower, and THEN he might’ve passed out on the couch. Sounds like he had nothing but time and opportunity to text you — he simply chose not to. Rude.
  4. “I didn’t see your text.” It’s 2016, who isn’t on their phone? Yes, there may be a few exceptions but you know he isn’t one of them. Every time you two are together, he’s scrolling through Instagram or Twitter. His phone is attached to his five little fingers at all times — there’s no way he didn’t see your text.
  5. “I got off late and didn’t want to wake you up.” How considerate! Just kidding, that’s complete BS. He has no problem calling you at 2 am on a Tuesday when he’s drunk and emotional, but he’s hesitant to call you at 6 pm when he’s leaving work? That makes absolutely no sense, and if you’re confused by his behavior, that means there’s a lie in there somewhere.
  6. “You look good in everything.” Except for the simple fact that you don’t. You know those jeans make your butt look big and you’re more than aware you that you look like a frumpy potato in that sweater. And yet he says you look beautiful? He’s obviously lying. Let’s be honest —  he’s probably not even really looking at your outfit, he’s just saying whatever will get you out the door fastest.
  7. “I forgot to press send.” No, he didn’t. He didn’t even type a message. If that were the case, you would’ve seen those three little dots pop up on the thread. You didn’t and you looked! And why wouldn’t he check to make sure? I don’t know about you, but every time I go a minute without a response, I make sure I sent the message. Come on, now.
  8. Work is crazy right now.” “Work” is always his go-to excuse, isn’t it? It’s the reason for everything — why he can’t text you back, why he can’t see you tonight, why he’s too tired to take you on an actual date. Boo hoo. Everyone works, he’s not special. He’s just using work as a reason to shirk his other responsibilities — like dating you.
  9. “I haven’t slept with a lot of girls.” Maybe he hasn’t, but there’s a small part of you that knows he has. Mainly because his group of guy friends are all super horn dogs who only ever talk about alcohol and hooking up. You are what your squad is, am I right? I’m sure he’s had his fair share of rendezvous.
  10. “I never lie to you.” Wow! Another lie. (Please see the above content if you need more proof).
