Years ago I woud have agreed with you but now... I think men and women now lie equally or just don't care. Just an observation but doesn't seem to me lately that alot of younger men and women take their marriage vows seriously. Seems to me there is just too much "not so innocent" flirting going around. No wonder the divorce rate is so high!
I have found some men will talk about their lives as if they are single. I'll ask then if they are married and they will then repond, "Oh yeah, I am..." Don't be afraid to ask anymore especially if looking for love "online". I would bet alot of married folks troll for "love" online.
Bottom line, I have learned to live my life without yearning for a man (but then again I'm old so have given up!). Makes things easier, more interesting. Someday if its meant to happen, it will. Be patient.

I have a couple of women friends that put their wedding rings on their right hand and turn the diamond around when they go out to clubs. They only do this 2 or 3 times a year. I was shocked to learn this when I went with them one time. From my observation, they wanted to get as many guys to hit on them as possible so they could go home and make their husbands jealous. It seemed like playing with fire to me.
Anyway, I would say it's 50-50 across the board.
The bottom line is, there are a lot of really emotionally insecure people out there who still need constant reassurance of their attractiveness and want to have their "datability" validated by others even when they already have a relationship. I've seen plenty of this low self-esteem driven behavior from both genders.
The anonymity of the internet makes it all the easier to lie about being married (or involved) when communicating with others.
I think this problem however has been going on for centuries. Some people are sincere and honest and some just aren't and never will be. Deception and honesty are not gender based.

Hellosunshine - if this is coming from a dating perspective, do you have court websites there to check on people? We have them here by state, and while they don't tell you if they're married, you can tell if a divorce if final, pending, etc. And anything on their record shows up. Of course, you can always google for a marriage license.....there are some advantages to the internet.
I have run into a few people that are married who claimed they were divorced. Or separated but looking. Be careful but don't be bitter by a few peoples poor judgement. Best of luck!
