People are liars because they can't handle the truth. Lying is not limited to a single gender. Why a man might tell lies could include the following reasons:

1. He feels his ego is threatened. He is invested in a certain image of himself, and when there are inconsistencies, he may resolve them by lying.

2. He may lie to protect his privacy or to create distance. Men typically don't like being mothered, and they may find being taken care of to be demeaning. So he may lie to attempt to prevent nurturing behaviors in others.

3. He may lie to keep others from worrying needlessly. A public servant might tell their spouse on the phone something other than the true nature of their work to try to shield them from some of the worry. What wife wouldn't worry if her husband called her and said he was in the middle of defusing a bomb?

4. Sometimes he may lie for noble reasons. For instance, a police officer called a man to tell him something happened to his family. There were 2 fatalities and the officer just said everyone was injured and to come to the hospital. The officer admitted he lied and said it was for the father's own good, that he didn't want him to wreck on the way.

5. He did something wrong, broke a vow, or has a guilty conscience.
