I think perhaps it's simply a commentary on the human male.

All due apologies to you fellas (hey, I loves ya!) but maybe Xena is feeling that now that Ares is a mortal man, his "scheme" or strategy to woo Xena by convincing her that he feels a certain way- feels kinder, gentler-

As for Ares, if any gods should lie, he should be the one. And he says he doesn't lie, that is probably a lie.

In TEN LITTLE WARLORDS, Ares (as a mortal) says, "I never lied to you, Xena. Oh--deceived, manipulated, yeah, but-- a god need never lie."

(To which Xena replies, regarding Ares' promises that he will change, "But that's just it, Ares - you're not a god anymore.")
