I created a fake Tinder account so that I could get practice talking to women. I obviously don't plan to ever initiate a date or meet IRL with any of the women I match with, I just want to get some practice flirting and learning how to talk to women in romantic contexts.
I found a few pictures of a moderately good-looking dude on /soc/ to hide behind so that I can chat with women confidently. The problem, though, is that I find I am "holding back" and not using my "best material" on the women I match with. It's almost like if I think of a funny response, I don't want to waste it on this guy who isn't me.
I know it's irrational, because I won't ever meet these women. I probably won't even ever create a real Tinder account, so it's not like I can save these responses for if I ever did match with them using my real face (it's not like I would even match with them in the first place).
It's not just with jokes, but other aspects of my personality. Like, one chick had a profile picture of herself holding a guitar, so I asked her what sort of music she's into. She told me, and asked me what sort of music I like. I almost don't want to respond, because I'd be attributing my music taste and aspects of my personality to this other guy who isn't me. It almost feels like this guy who is more attractive than me would be stealing my identity (ironic, I know). Especially because he looks like the kind of guy who listens to Wolfmother and Cage the Elephant or some shit.
What should I do?
Dating a woman is like taking apart a gun. Don't ask. It is.
Op, that's a retarded idea. You're wasting your time and theirs. Also, you're "training" for a person who isn't even you. if you're much uglier, the strategy you develop behind an attractive mask won't work when it's your naked self.
