A 2002 study at the University of Mass found that 60% of people lied at least 3 times in a ten minute casual conversation.

The same study found that while men and women lie with about the same frequency, men lie to make themselves look better, appear more likable, or seem more competent. Women tend to lie to make others feel better about themselves.
