Is "being yourself" the problem?
I remember Neil Strauss, author of The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists, commenting that the more fake he learned to act towards women the more success he had with women. He was eventually able to marry this woman:
Men like fake tits. Women like fake personalities. Maybe "being yourself" is overrated.

Eww... why did he married that bimbo? He should've gone abroad instead to Eastern Europe or South America.

If you are just trying to score skanks then as far as they are concerned you are there to entertain them, so being a pretentious blowhard would probably help.

Re: Is "being yourself" the problem?
I disagree with OP. Why should I pretend to be someone else just to trick a woman into dating me? Lol. If the woman doesn't like me for who I am then quite simply she can f**k off.
You are free to make any decision you desire, but you are not free from the consequences of those decisions.

How was he being 'fake'? Did he pretend to be a doctor or a billionaire? Did he pretend his parents had a perfect family, but they were each five-times divorced ex-cons?
If you lie to a woman, then marry her, chances are, she will find out. If he's pretending to have an English accent, keeping that up throughout a marriage will be difficult and stressful. Faking something like that would be difficult and stressful over time, but people you are around long enough would eventually find out.
Be yourself. You don't really have any other choice.
