Do you lie to people?

How often do you guys find yourselves lying to people?

I ask this because I believe (in my gut) that I was just lied to (by a woman, no surprise. AWALT), and, though I'm slightly hurt, I'm searching for the root of it, and it got me thinking about myself. I find myself lying sometimes....rarely, but sometimes, and typically to conserve another's feelings. Maybe it's Fear. Laws of Power aside, and even if "honor" is a made up code us Men created...in spite of these things, do you guys still lie for your own personal benefit, or do you truly try to be honest in every situation for the sake of it? Dark Triad or bust, or what?
