While acting a certain way to win women over is all fine and good, just remember: you're setting the bar for the rest of your relationship.
If you have to put on an act or put on airs to be worthy to someone, you won't be able to easily be yourself around them (or if you are, they might not like the "real you" you kept hidden!).
Congruence is key. If you go on a diet and lose weight, going back to your old ways will cause you to gain all the weight back. Same with working out and building muscle. If you get lazy, you will start losing your results. It's about making a lifestyle change that's sustainable for the rest of your life.
The same applies for behaviours and relationships. People change and grow, great long term relationships can end because they can grow to become people that are no longer compatible with the other. Other times, people just get lazy and they are no longer on their best behaviour for each other...letting the attraction die.
Your self concept is always growing and changing anyways, it's about taking control of that and directing it to achieve your goals. It's not about doing what comes easiest and living in that comfort...you will slip and be in a state of reaction, out of control. Which is alright in itself, it's what most people do.
