It exposes the speaker as being fairly shallow although I suspect that was not intentional.

The speaker is indeed a shallow person and by the speaker, I am referring to myself as the piece is written from my own personal experience.

I'm fine with strong criticism, but if you would, can you explain to me what do you mean by "false lover"? Do you mean that the term refer to a love relationship in which one of the party knows the other party is lying or does it also includes a temporary biological relationship where each parties knows perfectly all the words they say are not true i.e. there is actually no love at all in the relationship?
