These girls ain’t loyal: Lies ladies tell according to Japan’s Twitter users both male and female

In Japan, a recent trending Twitter hashtag, #don’tbelievegirlswhentheysay has people talking. Do any of these sound familiar to you?

Those of us who’ve grown up with girl parts or seen the movie Mean Girls know that girls will often say certain nice things to each other while thinking the exact opposite. Of course, both sexes have it in them to be duplicitous, but girls seem to get a bad rap for intentionally laying on the honey when what they really want to say is sourer and more stinging than lime juice on a fresh paper cut.

Recently, Japan’s twitter users have been amusing each other by sharing tales of these two-faced sayings, under the hashtag “josei no shinjite wa ikenai kotoba” or #don’tbelievegirlswhentheysay. Let’s take a look at some of them and see if any of them ring true!

Yeowch! It sounds like these particular tweeters have had some bad experiences with some two-faced females. Since there’re always two sides to every story, we can’t wait for the follow-up hashtag #don’tbelieveguyswhentheysay to start trending! If you can’t wait that long, here’s an article from earlier this year where Japanese women list the top 10 lies they can spot the moment a guy says them.

Wouldn’t it be sweet if we could all just be honest with each other? Or would that only lead to anarchy, broken hearts, and severed friendships galore?
