Online, we can claim to be whoever we wish. Like actors playing a role, we can deliberately choose to put forth identity cues or claims of self that can closely resemble or wildly differ from reality. With the rise of social platforms, the virtual spaces for these portrayals of alternate identities seems near endless.

Dating apps provide users with the most competitive performing stage, encouraging people to present our perfect side. Everyone strives to disguise and perform themselves in the limited space of profile pages to get more attention within the chance of couple seconds showing on audiences' cellphone screen. However, after the continuing identities performing, we get lost. Who are the real ourselves? The one who keep performing and nearly perfect in the virtual world or the one who are anxiously waiting behind the screen and looking for the next audience...
