首次约会时多数男性会撒谎
If you've ever been on a first date and had an inkling that you're being lied to, you're probably right.
你若在第一次约会时发现约会对象有对自己撒谎的迹象，你很有可能是猜对了。
According to new research, a majority of British men will - and have - lied to impress a potential girlfriend on a first date.
More than seven in ten (72 per cent) admitted to bending the truth on a first date to appear more attractive, such as the job they did, number of previous girlfriends and even if they had children.
Money was the biggest area where men felt the need to stretch the facts with almost two thirds (63 per cent) admitting they had exaggerated their earning power when chatting to a woman they were trying to impress.
More than half said they had over-stated their career prospects in the belief that it would make them more attractive to the opposite sex.
Hobbies and interests were next in the list of whoppers told with more than half of all men polled saying they believed in telling women what they wanted to hear.
Many downplayed their love of sports - namely football, with a large proportion also professing a love of animals and the arts in a bid to appear ‘sensitive and caring’.
