Hey, everyone does it now and again—and you will too. So you might as well do it right.

You Will Need

  • The need or will to lie
  • Someone to lie to
  • A cool demeanor
  • Pen and paper
How To Lie and Get Away With It: Prep your story

Step 1: Prep your story

Get your story straight! Figure out exactly what you’re going to say. Prepare answers for any potential questions.

Writing down your lie will help you remember it once the time comes to actually do the deed.

How To Lie and Get Away With It: Envision the lie

Step 2: Envision the lie

Envision your lie actually happening. That way, you won’t be making things up as you go along; you’ll be remembering the event as if it actually occurred.

How To Lie and Get Away With It: Keep eye contact

Step 3: Keep eye contact

Maintain eye contact. Liars unconsciously avoid it, which makes people suspect something is wrong.

Don’t smile too much! Liars tend to smile inappropriately.

How To Lie and Get Away With It: Relax

Step 4: Relax

Relax. Fidgeting and sweating is a dead giveaway.

How To Lie and Get Away With It: Control your hands

Step 5: Control your hands

Be aware of your hands. Most importantly, keep them away from your face. Research shows liars touch their nose or mouth unconsciously as they fib.

How To Lie and Get Away With It: Act indifferent

Step 6: Act indifferent

Don’t get defensive. Keep a steady tone of voice and don’t protest too much. Act like you don’t care if the person believes you or not.

Now fly away free and clear, like the liar bird you are.

A University of Massachusetts study found women lie to make others feel better, while men lie to make themselves look better.

Something wrong?

Hey, why are you informing the world how to tell if someone is lying or to get out of lying? I don't want people to know that I'm lying!
