女性喜欢在社交网站上美化其生活

Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found.

一项调查发现，女性总爱在Facebook或Twitter这样的社交网站上说谎，把自己的生活描述得比实际更精彩。

Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or distorted（歪曲） what they are doing on social media once a month.

The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and embellished（美化） about an exotic holiday or their job.

The most common reasons for women to write "fibs" included worrying their lives would seem "boring", jealousy at seeing other people's more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.

Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to "stay connected" on social media, they can in fact "paradoxically（自相矛盾地）" be left "more isolated".

They also said that the "more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel".

According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to "dishonesty" on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage.

Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week.
