Why does lying about having sex with a girl boost a guy’s ego? He didn’t actually do it?

Found out my brother who’s in high school has been lying about having sex with this girl. He acts like he’s so cool for having sex with her and it’s so embarrassing to watch.

Why does this boost guys egos? It never happened so why do they think they’re a stud lmao

Thanks for everyone’s responses. I did tell the girl and she told me she confronted him in person but he denied ever saying that :/

  • How do you know for a fact that it never happened?

    I've never lied about who I had sex with, but some guys do it for the same reason people boast about anything that didn't happen.

    • I can tell when he lies and he was just showing Off I front his friends. Why did he chose this girl in particular to say he had sex with?

    • Maybe he likes her.

  • Humans are weak. So weak in fact a virus has us all inside. So why wouldn’t d you lie about having sex, we barley survive day to day

  • It is the reaction he gets from his peers that gives him the boost on his ego... what you have to understand is all guys at that age are focussed focussed on one thing above all on that is "sex"

    • Yeah so why would he say he slept with that girl in particular?

    • So that he can look cool... I'm pretty sure it's obvious

    • he didn’t need to say her name he could’ve just said he had sex with a girl

  • Because of what others think.

    • He is harming a girl

    • @hi_it_is_me123 That's putting it mildly. Especially if she's a teenager, these false rumors can cause trauma in a girl.

  • Guys do this all the time. Even guys who don’t believe the other guy will still listen because it’s entertaining.

    • But why say her name in particular?

    • If he’s naming you specifically then that is a complement because obviously if you did hook up he won’t tell everyone. But he’s also going to say you were really good in bed too. He probably just picked your name because you are hot and because most of the other guys think you’re hot too. It’s a win-win when you think about it.

    • It’s not me I’m his sister lol. Why would he also say she’s good in bed?

  • Society. Peer pressure. Sexual success is treated like it gives men self worth especially since in general its more difficult for men to get laid than women. I dont agree with it but that's the way things are in the social world.

    • Why did he chose this girl in particular to say he had sex with?

  • it's an immaturity thing. all a guy can think about in teen years (usually) is sec.

    • Why do you think he told people he had sex with that particular girl?

    • makes him feel good about himself. he might've had a close moment with her or something and just decided to stretch it past the truth.

    • No dude

  • Its due to peer pressure from the other guys. It's dominance thing. Who is the bigger better dog in the pack.

  • How do you know it's not true?

    • How would you feel if a bastard tell everyone that your daughter is a slut?

    • @hi_it_is_me123

    • @hi_it_is_me123 That's not the question.

  • That only happens with young adolescent and immature boys with self confidence issues

    • Yeah he is super immature. But why lie and choose this particular girl?

  • Because that's how it always was in high-school with guys. You get praised for it.

    • Why not just say he had sex with a girl but not say who? He didn’t have to say her name

    • Because teenage boys say stupidest things to look cool to his friends. They don't not care about anything else.

  • lying doesn't improve anything it just degrades his or her Individual character

  • I haven’t had many sexual partners. Only a handful, but sometimes I feel the need to lie and embellish in certain crowds and convos. Maybe it’s society that says men should hound dogs getting laid all the time and women should be chaste and pure. All bullshit, but those cultural beliefs still persist.

    • Why did he chose this girl in particular to say he had sex with?

  • its sad but that's just how it is with guys that age. if other guys think your getting some that makes you cool.

    • Ok so why did he say he slept with her in particular?

    • could have been at random, could have been because she interacted with him and he took it a step farther who knows

  • Depends on the guy. I am still a virgin and think, meh. I value marriage more than sex.

  • Don't even try to figure it out. We go through a think with penis only time. Also peer pressure to look like your the shit. Ego crap also. Some don't ever change.

    • Disgusting

    • Welcome to Earth

    • Nah. He is destroying a girl

  • It makes him appear to be in a higher social value and the reason for that girl in particular is it gives more credibility than "you don't know her she goes to a different School"

    • H could’ve just said he had sex with a girl and left it at that no names

    • Tell the girl! He is spreading false rumour

    • But not having a name is less believable plus there might be something special about that particular girl

    • Show All
  • He wants to impress his little tribe of guy friends, obviously and is probably compensating for something.

    • I feel really bad for the girl I can’t belive he’s doing this

    • That’s how most teenage boys are.

    • That is not an exuse

  • Hii
    Bebi

  • Sex this days are trending as media do good job on sexualised content on tv an internet. So it is shame if you are 11 and still virgin.

    • I feel really bad for the girl tho she probably doesn’t even know this is happening.
