Revealed: Which sex is most likely to tell the truth - men or women

Men are the more honest sex, a new survey claims; Women are more likely to lie than men.

Women are more likely to throw a ‘sickie’ for work, cheat on a diet or make up an excuse to avoid a date, it added. But while that may paint an unflattering picture of females, it is not all bad, for women are also more likely to bend the truth so they do not hurt someone’s feelings.
