We've heard the lies that men tell women and now we think it's about time the ladies came clean too; trust us, they don't exactly come out smelling of roses. From lying about how many sexual partners they've had, to pretending they're a dress size smaller than they actually are, the females have their fair share of fibs.

Whether you're a man or a woman reading this, you're probably familiar with the scenario where she tidies up and suddenly his possessions go AWOL. On most of these occasions, the missing item mysteriously appears somewhere obscure. Men can't seem to leave anything anywhere without it being swept up and taken elsewhere. If you're going to move something ladies, at least remember where you moved it to and don't tell the "I haven't touched it!" lie to your man.

Women have hobbies - granted. Why is it though, that whatever their love interest enjoys doing in his spare time, this is suddenly their favourite hobby too? A man could tell a woman something random like "I enjoy rock climbing with a purple crayon in my rucksack" and she'd say "no way! I love that too!"

When it comes to sexual partners, women are notorious for being economical with the truth. In fact, a recent survey published in the Journal of Sex Research states that a massive 68 per cent of women take a few notches off the bed post when asked about their past sexual encounters. Why? Because no matter how much we try to gloss over it, there is still a large amount of social stigma attached to women who have had their fair share of sexual partners and, with the derogatory labels used to define them, it's no surprise that women would rather keep the truth to themselves.
