Now while this strategy will probably land you more attention, it's a losing strategy because two very sad things have happened, one being you lied to yourself and in turn, you also lied to others.
While they'll reward your lie with attention, you'll eventually be confronted to that lie in a way that it will likely cause an interested party to lose trust in you, often times at that crucial moment when trust is being built, at the beginning of a relationship.
It's entirely possible that your small and not so small lies will fly right under everyone's radar while delivering you added benefits (starting with more attention, usually), you're still lying to yourself and that's just bad.
Even if you can live with your lies, it just messes up an otherwise straightforward message which, in and of itself, was probably best suited to provide you with attention from the right crowd, for the right reasons.
You might be tempted to dabble around with truth and some lies cleverly added to provide you with benefits but looking forward is always easier when you don't always have to look back to make sure your lies don't eventually backfire.
Yes, truth is still a cornerstone of relationships that work and then, keep on working.
