I don't know if anyone else had a similar experience, but when I was a young child I could easily lie. I would lie to stay out of trouble mostly, and it wasn't like I lied a lot, but it was easy. As I went through puberty into my late teens and early twenties, I found that it became increasingly harder for me to lie to anyone about anything.

I eventually developed a twitch where I can't keep a straight face when lying anymore, I would ALWAYS smirk, and immediately come clean. Now, everything I do and say is with honest intention, there's no reason for me to lie.

I think something about being a modern man is realizing that no one is going to take care of you, but you are expected to take care of everyone. Masculine traits like, honor, duty and responsibility, can cause men, at one point or another, to feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. This pressure is what molds us into people who have to be somewhat selfless, driven people, who put family, work and community before ourselves. In that struggle to provide, we tend to ignore what society takes away. It causes men to pour blood, sweat and tears into a culture that will leave him all alone in the end, dishonored, a slave.

EDIT: I realize I went off topic at the end, it's just the responsibility man, THE PRESSURE! It can get to be a bit much ... especially in a culture where men aren't just under appreciated, but vilified. I'm being honest.
