There's also different kinds of lying.
There's lying where she really doesn't know the truth. There's also playful lying where she's know you aren't telling the truth.
Also, it's not about lying for her sake. I think some guys might have fun just making shit up to toy with girls. The act of lying might have some inner-game effect where it gets you into a more playful mood- it might help you to loosen up.
And it's not just about pumping yourself up to her with DHVs. There are guys who are making a lot of money who wouldn't want the girls to know because the girl might to see him as a long term investment and not putout.
Hot girls know what that's like, and they might think "finally someone that can relate to my situation- someone on my level."
See, this I agree with. Your earlier example of a guy going round telling girls his dad is a millionaire and he's going to get a lot of money when he dies is what I don't agree with, assuming it's a lie.
Lying to play yourself down is completely different to lying to big yourself up.
If I paid money to go on a bootcamp and the guys told me to make lies up like that to get girls attracted to me then I'd be questioning the worth of that advice and that person's game.
It works for my friend. Again, I don't know if he's actually lying about this stuff. But I have seen him lie.. these are white lies so that people will at least treat him like he's on their level instead of a random ghetto thug. He's not really making shit up to impress.
Telling girls he's a stylist is just a way of, at the very least, letting her know that he knows what a stylist is.. something most people who aren't in the fashion world probably don't know about let alone a guy from the ghetto.
