Men are twice as likely as women to believe they are skilled at deception and getting away with lies, according to research from the University of Portsmouth reported in Study Finds.
Researchers found a significant link between expertise at lying and gender. Men were more than twice as likely to consider themselves expert liars who got away with it, according to the report.
You can spot a liar by ignoring their truthful statements — which are often attempts at manipulation — and, instead, focusing on their deceptions.
Deceptive behaviors include failing to deny the accusation, failing to answer the question and using “convincing statements” rather than conveying information.
Nonverbal cues that a person is lying include grooming gestures, hand-to-face motions, moving feet and clearing of the throat. They may straighten a tie or other piece of clothing, fix their hair, adjust their glasses or make other subconscious movements that can help them quell their anxiety — all signs that they may be lying.
If a person puts their hand to their mouth, licks their lips, pulls on their ear or otherwise touches their face or head, those are other deceptive behaviors.
The art of lying is not the only difference between men and women.
Women experience pain differently than men. In studies involving men and women exposed to identical pain stimuli, women rated the pain higher on the pain scale. Women also suffer from anxiety at a greater rate than men and have a greater likelihood of being overprescribed a combination of drugs that could lead to addiction.
If you are dealing with any type of chronic disease or pain, making changes to your lifestyle and diet may produce significant results, including reducing the pain. Additionally, consider natural, safe and effective pain treatment alternatives rather than over-the-counter or prescription painkillers.
Women also experience cold air differently than their male counterparts and, as a result, often feel colder than a man even though they are both exposed to the same temperature.
For more than 100 years, 98.6 Fahrenheit (37 Celsius) has been considered the normal body temperature, but new data show a normal oral temperature is slightly lower and women normally have slightly higher temperatures than men.
