LIES WILL GET YOU A PARTNER THAT TRUTH WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE

It is very common to want to impress the opposite sex. It is basic human nature. The inability to control this nature just like any other can lead to a dark, lonely path.
Right from the very first meeting (either face to face or other), the excitement of what can be, coupled with the freshness of the whole scenario makes us put forward our best possible foot. This is not exactly bad because even if we aren't like that every time, it's a sincere show of what potentials lie within. This is not what most of us do though, we go way overboard with it. You'd think it ridiculous that some people use the properties of others ( cars, homes, even clothes) to make a more promising first impression, a false impression.
For others, the deception is in character. In manner of talk,dress and even in definition of self.
" I love cooking" coming from a person that cannot operate a cooker !

Sometimes, all the other person wants from us is sincerity. As anti-truth as the world seems to be now, there are still people who want you to just be yourself, people who want that original you.
In the end, you miss out when you pretend to be someone else.
Desperate is not a funny place to be at, so while one can relate with what drives people to want to achieve by any means necessary, one should still see that it doesn't need to be deceptive.
The biggest home breaker is lack of understanding. Two people who have been openly honest about themselves and who have accepted one another as such still have understanding issues, imagine how bad it will be for a person who has put up a false personality when the truth starts to drip out.
It is absolutely wrong to go into something as a lie, thinking that you will handle it when the truth comes out. If it was that easy to handle why not go in with the truth?
You hear of people hiding key health conditions, genotypes and other sensitive things just to tie down their love or secure a home, What manner of love/home are you securing then?
The only relationship that stands the chance of lasting is that built on acceptance of the truth, anything else is just a ticking time bomb and time always runs down.
