Is impersonating another personality wrong?
This is a question regard the ethics of using another personality in order to have a certain someone like you.
Let's say you have a personality that was unique, that many people liked to befriend, but did not want to have a relationship with; would it be wrong to change your personality in order to get a person to like you? Keep in mind I'm referring to a short-term relationship. I couldn't stand being in a long-term relationship if I didn't be myself.
If your argument is that one should not change their personality no matter who it is, so that there is no deception, then should a rude person not hide the fact that they are rude(keep it on his inside)? Wouldn't the rude person want to not have people egging/tp'ing his house?
I'm sure many of you would say there is hardly a comparison between being defensive of your house, and having a person like you. But consider the alternative of having a personality no one wants to be around. Would it be OK to do then?
I'm also fairly certain there will be a respondent who will argue that 'There is a certain 'type' for everybody, and that person should just keep looking'. And what of the person should he not find this 'type'? There are 6+ billion people on this planet, and most people only meet a few thousand, so please don't bother with that argument, as there are people that are obviously not perfect for each other together, but they make the best of it and just live their lives with each other.
Feel free to argue upon each point for its merit, as I want to know the general acceptability for each.
