Media personality Toke Makinwa has sparked reactions online after sharing her opinion on why she believes many men are poor at telling lies.
While appearing on the latest episode of MENtality with Ebuka, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa argued that men often lie without thinking through their stories, making it easier for their partners to spot inconsistencies.
According to her, men tend to assume that once they tell a lie, it automatically becomes the truth if they are not caught immediately.
“This is what I’ve always said from time immemorial. I say this to my guy friends a lot. Men are not very good at lying. They think, ‘If I tell you this, it can become your truth if you never find out the other side,’” she said.
Makinwa added that the biggest flaw in men’s lies is that they often fail to keep track of what they have said.
“The problem with a man is that men don’t even think about it. They lie as if we’re stupid. They don’t even consider it. You always know when they’re lying,” she stated.
She further claimed that if asked the same question weeks later, many men would unintentionally contradict themselves.
“If you ask the same man in the next three weeks, he will say something different. But a woman, before she tells you that lie, it’s actually low-key disrespectful because she has thought about it,” Makinwa added.
