The study, which was commissioned by researchers at the Science Museum in London, found that 82 per cent of females questioned said telling a lie ate away at their conscience but only 70 per cent of men confessed to suffering pangs of guilt.
"Lying may seem to be an unavoidable part of human nature but it's an important part of social interaction," said Katie Maggs, the museum's associate medical curator.
"The jury is still out as to whether human quirks like lying are the result of our genes, evolution or our upbringing."
OnePoll spoke to 3,000 adults for the survey.
The top 10 lies men tell their partners INCLUDE "I had no signal", "I'm on my way", "I'm stuck in traffic", "Sorry, I missed your call", "You've lost weight"
