Why would you want to be in any kind of relationship with somebody who can't appreciate you for who you are? Unless by "short-term relationship" you mean a one night stand. In any other sort of relationship deception will most likely lead to nothing but a bitter end and a burned bridge.

I can relate with this statement as I am not necessarily a rude person, but I do tend to be a very vulgar and obnoxious person. There are times in life, due to the society we live in, where you have to give off a different persona. eg. Chances are if I were to tell a girl I work with I would like to spit in her vagina, as I would a girl in my personal life (Yes, I am a smooth operator), I would be unemployed, to say the least.
Basically, in professional and casual interactions it is usually wise to remain polite and stick to the social norm of how people should act. When it comes to your personal life and the interactions therein, though, I believe you should always be the person you truly are. Otherwise, you will have false relationships with everybody you know, and who wants that?
