Is it better to "fake it" than be alone?

Does our fear of being alone make us fake relationships?

Are you afraid of being alone?

What if you want something better? Does the fear of losing it all make you go for the least worst case scenario?

Are you faking a relationship right now?

Huh, the must be the biggest and most mystical question of all time. Should we fake it in order to be with him?
We found the most richest, handsome and clever man. But there is one thing in the way. He is not good in bed. Every night you have to fake the orgasm to make him stay with you. You are not having a normal sexual life at all. You meet up with your friends and they talk about how excellent his in bed. And you just feel jealous. You don't know what to do. You start imagining how you get married and for the rest of your life you'll have to fake it. Well women are certainly no strangers to "faking it". We've faked our hair color, our cup size, hell we've even faked fur. I couldn't help but wonder: Has fear of being alone suddenly raised the bar on faking? Are we faking more than orgasms? Are we faking entire relationships? Is life going to be like that forever? Yes I totally understand that being alone is not the best thing in the world and that you'll never find the 'one' that is everything you ever wanted him to be. Yes I know, it's hard, but ladies it pays to find the guy. Everything goes through hard work. No-one gets free lunches. If you want your place in the world you have to start acting now. Act until the moment of satisfaction. Until you realize that you have done everything to get him and you have him. In every way you ever dreamt of.
But being lonely is not the worst thing in the world in some ways being alone is better, you get the chance to think over your problems, to actually ask yourself "What Do I Need From Life?" It's better to be alone and healthy than in an relationship that is unhealthy, ya heard?
So I decided instead of running away from the idea of a life alone, you'd better sit down and take that fear to lunch... So I sat there and had a glass of wine alone. No books, no man, no friends, no armor, no faking...
