Lie # 10: “I’m Stuck in Traffic”“He figures it’s much easier to just say this than to try to explain the real reason he’s running late,” says John Amodeo, author of The Authentic Heart. “Remember, men aren’t as good at communicating as women are.” The funny thing is, a guy will toss this line out even if what held him up is perfectly legitimate. Still, you shouldn’t let it slide — it’s a lie nonetheless.

Lie # 9: “It Wasn’t That Expensive”

“Men like toys, and they don’t like sensing your disapproval, even if you don’t share a bank account,” Amodeo says. He could also be dropping this fib to try to prove he’s responsible with money, says Barton Goldsmith, author of Emotional Fitness for Intimacy. “He doesn’t want you to think that if you do share funds down the line, he’s going to blow them all on things like plasma TVs.”

Lie # 8: “I’m on My Way”

Guys usually throw you this line when you’re making them meet you at some event they don’t want to attend — like, say, your family reunion. He’s stalling, but he’s also being pouty. Consider: He can’t exactly refuse to go without enduring serious repercussions from you, and he can’t very well throw a temper tantrum in front of your pop-pop. So saying this and then showing up late is his way of gaining a wee amount of control.

Lie # 7:”‘I Didn’t Have Too Much to Drink”

This lie could point to a serious problem — and we’re not just talking about your relationship. If he says it often he could have an alcohol issue, Goldsmith says. You need to talk to him about how concerned you are, but watch the timing. “That’s definitely a conversation you need to have when he’s sober,” Amodeo adds.

Lie # 6: “Sorry, I Missed Your Call”

Lie # 5: “My Battery Died,” and

Lie # 4: “I Had No Signal,”

These three lines all mean the same thing: I screened your call. Why? “Often men will feed you these lies because they’re afraid to tell you to back off a bit, that they need a little alone time,” Amodeo says. You might want to ease up on the checking in and let him miss you more.

Lie # 3: “No, Your Butt Doesn’t Look Big in That”

Look, if you assail him with the question in the first place, you’re really just asking to be thrown this all-purpose mollifier. “Every guy has a buddy who’s told him, ‘I answered this question wrong once, and my girlfriend wouldn’t have sex with me for a year,’ ” Goldsmith says. This is the one safe response he knows, so there’s no way he’s going to risk the worst by straying from it. If you want an honest opinion, go ask one of your girls instead.

Lie # 2:”‘This Will Be My Last Beer”

Our experts say this man-lie delivered over the phone means he wants to get you off ASAP so he can spend more time with his buddies. The thing is, even if he says it three times in a night, each time he believes it, Goldsmith says. It’s like when you vow this will be your last cookie…five times in a row.

Lie # 1: “Nothing’s Wrong, I’m Fine”

A whopping 52 percent of men have told their girlfriend this line.

 1 Broken furniture

You’re an adult now and your apartment should reflect that. There’s a problem if you’re still using your college couch with duct-tape patches as a realistic seating option. Throw out the bean-bag chair, take down the ceiling tapestry, and recycle the empty beer can collection you’ve been storing pyramid-style over the fridge.

2 Exotic pets

It’s the rare woman that will walk into an apartment and swoon over your naked mole rat. And no one wants to hook-up while a 12-foot boa constrictor munches on mice in his cage. Now is the time to decide if you want to raise an alligator in your bathtub or you want to see a girl naked before you die.

3 Locked doors

Movies have made it clear that there is never anything good behind a locked door. The options run the gamut from ailing grandmother to dead hookers to a collection of toe-nail clippings. Try and keep her from imagining the worst by refraining from tackling her and yelling “I told you never to ever go near that door!”

4 Dorm room posters

Posters that were cliché in college are now just embarrassing. Whether it’s the John Belushi college poster or the Bob Marley smoking weed poster, it’s absolutely unacceptable. Tear them down and replace them with a still life of fruit and a classic framed Playboy spread.

5 Moldy food

If the general rule in your fridge is to keep food a year beyond the expiration date, there’s a problem. Unless your fridge is stocked with blue cheese, there’s no reason to keep moldy and rotten food. And if your fridge is stocked to the brim with blue cheese, you’re probably more in need of the article “7 reasons you’re morbidly obese.”

6 Stains

Excessive drink stains, rust stains, and blood stains all tend to be a major turn-off when you’re trying to create a romantic atmosphere. Either rip out the carpeting before you bring ladies home or insist on only using candles. The candle light gives you the added advantage of looking far more handsome than you will ever look under fluorescent lights.

7 A huge mess

If you’re the kinda guy that considers your floor the trashcan and your trashcan a toilet, than you might have problems getting girls to stay at your place. While some girls may look at the roach infestation as an indoor sneak peak at nature, others will run out looking for the largest container of hand sanitizer. If the thought of cleaning up the mess gives you hives, do yourself a favor, and at least flush the toilet.

On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control released a new study on marriage and relationships. Take a look at some of their findings: 

 

–According to the study, 78% of marriages last at least five years.

 

 

–And when a couple lives together without getting married, they have just a 30% chance of making it five years.

 

 

–But here’s the thing: The main reason for THAT statistic is that 51% of the couples who live together end up getting married WITHIN THREE YEARS.

 

 

–In a first marriage, couples have a higher chance of staying together for ten years or longer if they’re from the same RACE.

 

 

–When couples are married for at least eight months before having their first kid, nearly FOUR in FIVE of them end up making it to their tenth anniversary.

 

 

–Married couples that never have kids are less than HALF as likely to last ten years as couples who do have kids.

 

 

–And when a man and woman are both at least 26 years old when they get married, the odds that they’ll make it ten years is about 75%. But when they get married as teens, they only have a 50-50 shot at making it ten years.

 

 

-And according to a separate survey of 4,000 couples in the UK, married couples are HAPPIEST 11 months and eight days after their wedding. And they have their BEST SEX after they’ve been married for two years and four months.

I decided to run my name through urbandictionary.com and the results were interesting….not surprising….but interesting:

1. Wesley
 
 
Any guy that tries to cop-a-feel on every girl he can get his hands on by giving them a hug so tight they can’t breath.

Disliked by the entire female sex. Whenever they see him they run in the oposite direction as fast as they can.

1. Wes
The “wes” term has been a very popular term for the most dictionaryself centered jerks across the globe, though it is used most fervently in the United States.
