He found that, when interviewed by a guy in a white coat, men admitted to lying to make themeselves look better while women said that they lied only to make the stranger feel good. What the subjects really did is anyone's guess.
Is that how the conclusion was reached? I assumed he had the subjects point out their lies on the videotape, noted what they were, and tallied up the results. But I'm not familiar with the study other than what's mentioned in the article.
It's stunning how the authors never considered that the subjects might be even more likely to lie to them than they were to lie to the strangers.
No, they did. It's mentioned in the article.
Dude. She's being ironic.
smackdown of gross generalizations!!!!!
What better response to irony than a good eyeroll? (Not like an eggroll.)

I
think irony should be applauded with a wry smile, myself.
