Whenever you’re looking though Facebook, and it feels like everyone’s life is more exciting than yours, here’s some consolation:  About a third of them are probably lying.  Why, they might even be more boring than you!

According to a new survey of 2,000 women, at least one-third of them lie, exaggerate, or distort the truth at least once a month on Facebook.

The main reason women give for lying is to make their lives seem less boring.  The number two reason is jealousy, and number three is wanting to impress people.  The most common lies are:

1.)  Saying you’re doing something when you’re really home alone.

2.)  How much alcohol you drank.

3.)  What you did or you’re doing on vacation.

4.)  Your job.

5.)  Your relationship status.

The survey only included women, so we don’t know the number of men who lie on Facebook.
