Speaking during the show, Toke argued that many men approach lying with the belief that once they say something confidently, it automatically becomes the truth unless they are caught.
According to her, the biggest mistake men make is failing to think through their stories before telling them.

She stated:
“This is what I’ve always said from time immemorial. I say this to my guy friends a lot. Men are not that great at liars. They think, ‘If I tell you this, it can become your truth if you never find out the other side.’”
She went further, saying many women can easily detect when a man is being dishonest because his story eventually changes.
She added:
“The problem with a man is that men don’t even think about it. They lie like we’re stupid. They don’t even think about it. You always know when they’re lying.”
The media personality claimed that when men are confronted with the same question weeks later, they often forget what they initially said and unknowingly contradict themselves.
According to Toke, women tend to think through every possible outcome before telling a lie.
She stated:
“If you ask the same man in the next three weeks, he will say something different. But a woman, before she tells you that lie, it’s actually low-key disrespectful because she has thought about it.”
