Ever heard of men who even claimed that someone they were living with was their cousin/sister but in fact, she was their long-time girlfriend and even possibly wife and that’s why he couldn’t invite you to his house?
The above are just common themes around the lies men tell. But there are also some common lies that almost every woman has been told at some point in a relationship. Some of these lies are…
11 most common lies Men tell Women
- I will never cheat on you again!
Cheaters will cheat. That’s what they do. While every woman who has been cheated on wants to believe her man will never cheat again if he cheated once it is very likely that he will cheat again. Most cheaters have claimed that cheating is a habit that is difficult to break.
The only thing that can help you in this situation is if you are a strong woman. Strong enough to walk away the very first time you find out that you have been cheated on. Men who cheat clearly don’t respect you or your relationship.
- She is just a friend!
I have known her for years, in fact, she is like my sister. Or that lady he keeps hanging out with every day after work and on weekends and the reason he disappears and abandons you every time “she’s just a friend” needs him?
- She’s the one who keeps calling me.
I think she might even be obsessed with me! This is the response you will likely get from a man you have caught red-handed more than once talking to a particular woman on phone.

- I would never lie to you!
Have you ever heard of someone lying about lying? This is gaslighting of the highest form. If a guy tells you that he would never lie to you, he is not only double lying to you but is also most likely hiding something bigger.
- I’m just a social drinker
Kenyan men especially are likely to tell this lie. We are a nation that has glamorized binge drinking and so, initially when you meet a guy who wants to win your heart, you will likely be told this lie.
Only for you to get the shock of your life later. This is usually the case especially when you meet the said guy in a bar. He most likely is part of the furniture in that bar.
- I didn’t have my phone on me/ I didn’t hear my phone ring /I was asleep when you called.
These are all lies because nowadays phones have become almost like part of our flesh. We take them everywhere we go and at all times, making it very unlikely that any of the above scenarios are true. Men who have something to hide especially will even carry their phones to the shower.
- Yes, I was listening
It is very easy to catch men in this lie because they just don’t like to listen but then pretend to be listening. It can be so frustrating after you have been talking to a man about something that is important to you but he loses his focus along the way.
Just ask them to repeat what you’ve been saying for the last two minutes and you will be surprised that he didn’t hear a thing.

- Let’s just go, you look great!
Oftentimes men just want to get out of the house already and go wherever it is you were going. Road trip? Party? Get together?
He just wants to be out there so he will likely tell you that you look great even when you don’t so that you can get going. This is the same guy who will feel embarrassed when you are the only ones who look like you didn’t put much effort into dressing up.
- I send her * insert exaggerated amount of money* every month for the child.
Nowadays, almost every guy you meet and is above the age of 30 is a baby daddy. And chances are that he doesn’t do a great job at being a baby daddy and every time the baby mama calls to ask for money for the child, he is likely to protect his ego by claiming that he sends her too much money already.
- It’s not the right time to plan things right now
This lie will likely be told to you by a man who is avoiding making any important future plans with you.
If he doesn’t seem like he wants to plan for something long-term, there could be a bigger problem than he might not be willing to reveal to you and you might need to pry harder in order to find out why he doesn’t want to commit to making any future plans with you.
- I’m sorry!
Are men ever sorry? Or are they just sorry that they got caught? This is the one common lie most men will always tell, especially when they get caught with their hands in the cookie jar. And without even meaning it, he will likely say sorry hoping to be forgiven.
