Why lie about yourself on Intarweb forums?

I'm honestly curious about people who make up bogus threads and fake stories to try and impress others on Internet forums.

Is there really someone around here worth impressing? Even if you were to shen someone into believing that you were 500 times "better" than you really are, what does it accomplish?

Maybe I should change my major from Computer Science to Psychology, because this is interesting and I don't think anyone has ever studied it. *shrug*

It's all about becoming the Alpha male. Having said that, I never have understood why some people lie so much on these forums.

Some people are so pitiful and have unfulfilled lives so, in an effort to desperately make themselves feel a part of the group or better than they really are, they have to resort to fiction. Anyone who makes up a fantasy life on an internet board is truly the bottom of the barrel in loser status as far as I am concerned.

I think it is much like alpha males in real life. I think to be an alpha male you need to lie and be decietful. I hate crap like that. So I will be a poor guy from virginia with lettle to talk about.

It makes your e-penis larger when you you brag about not having to lie over the internet and call out others who do.

It gives a person some sense of superiority, if only for a little while. most people that lie online suck at real life.
