Although we are all natural born liars, most of us seem to take it for granted that
lying is bad However, psychologists argue that lying i5 just any other social skill
we possess. We learn the art of deception very early in life; by the age of five, we have not
only become quite efficient at yng, but we have also learnt how to read people's readions
and act accordingly.

the same effect on the facial features as a realone.
Even though both women and men know how to watch out for clues that sornebody
is lying, it is a fact that women are far _55_ liars than men- Despite this, women are
also rrore affected by other peoples feelings, so they have more sympathy for them. As a
