So i know others get this too. Why do people pretend to be who they arent? just to make a good impression or what? If u like things i dont its ok. I have had guy lookin for devout gal never once ask my faith but bring up freaky sex. Why not be who u are? Someone is looking for u but with lying ur both Just gonna have nothing and waste time. Love me or hate me, by god i am always me.

Fu*kin-A! I agree whole heartedly. If they like you for who you pretend to be, they might leave you when they find out who you really are. Just show you're true colors and let someone fall in live with that :)

People pretend to be who they aren't for many reasons, but typically it's to achieve something. It's kind of like if you were a salesman and you have all different types of clients. You want the client to like you so you study up on what they like and make a good impression. The next client may be entirely different and you have to start over. Some people look at friends like a salesman looks at clients, changing themselves conveniently so they will be liked by everyone.
Peer pressure can also intimidate a person into acting differently or changing who they are.

@Acire73: I know right :( It's really sad how some people feel like they have to hide themselves.. At any rate, I agree with you that it's always best to just be who you are. c:
