All people are prone to deception, and until a certain point, until the epiphany comes that being honest is simpler and easier, everyone periodically distorts reality.

There is an opinion that women lie more often than men. But why do they do it, and does this mean that women cannot be trusted at all?

The answer to this question was sought not by psychologists or sociologists, but by representatives of a much narrower field – neuroscientists.

Why does a woman hide the truth?

This program was laid down in a woman by nature itself. And this ability allows a woman to be more flexible and pleasant (for example, care).

The phenomenon was studied by neurobiologists from the University of Pennsylvania.

They conducted brain scans of more than 400 men and 500 women.

It turned out that the female brain works better in emotional and social contacts, while the male brain is more focused on action.

It was further discovered that the male brain processes speech predominantly with the left hemisphere, while in women both hemispheres are involved in this process.

That's why girls start talking earlier.

But that's not the point. This speech processing feature allows women to read or hear between the lines during conversation.

In this way, they not only grasp the true meaning, but also adapt to the conversation in order to achieve the desired result.

Scientists believe that women often lie simply because they say what they want to hear.

Earlier we talked about what to do if you don’t have the strength or desire to work.
