What does 'fake' mean? I often see women write/say that they think someone is fake. What do people mean by this? Do they think the person lies? Isn't being them self? I'm confused and interested to understand what other women mean when they use the word? Do they mean they are snobby?

I think they actually mean shallow and materialistic however lack the vocabulary to adequately express themselves.
Superficial, vapid, cosmetic, not genuine,

fake
A person, the vast majority of the time a female, who acts too nice to be real in order to lure in pathetic dopes and use/betray them, frequently crushing the victim's soul in the process. Symptoms of fakeness include wearing a huge, phony, Botox-looking smile the entire time, saying "Hiiiiii! How are you!" a lot, using an overly sweet tone of voice that's so dripping with sap it makes you want to vomit, and just generally being overly perky all the time. A fake chooses her victims very carefully, usually very naive individuals, waits until the victim has divulged their deepest, darkest secrets, then spreads them all over the school and makes sure the victim is absolutely miserable. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
A fake meeting her victim:
Fake: Hiiiiiii! You look really lonely. Do you need a friend? You can trust me with anything.
Victim: That would be really nice...I never have had any real friends before.
Fake (under breath): Ha! She took the bait! THIS is gonna be good!

I came into gaming late, I was more interested in coding and games screw with my server. often enough have to translate feral 1337speak scriptkiddies. Comes in handy.
Either superficial, into cosmetic surgery and saying the right thing to fit the stereotype she's trying to be.
Or deceitful, acts like obe person to you then different to another so you never know here you stand and what she says is fleeting, because it's fake.
My opinion is many people get called fake even just when they are being polite, just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you are rude to them or yell at them every time you see them, but yet some people would see manners (saying hello) as being fake, to me being fake is going against all your morals and principals to please others, to loose your own sense of worth for acceptance or to appear better than what you are.
I suspected the same thing, fake = having manners!
I rarely use the word. But for me it means that they only show the perfect side of themselves or just genuinely aren't being themselves. For eg, I know my younger sister very well. BUT, around other people she is incredibly fake. Puts on a big show. Is the biscuit baking, apron wearing, never swearing, never yelling, extremely feminine woman that she is definitely not. She doesn't like baking, swears like a trooper, yells at her kids all day long and while she is feminine, for some reason, especially around men, she takes it to a whole other level. For her, I do feel that she has something that was never diagnosed, as I feel she's always putting on a performance and I don't find it to be 'normal' behaviour. If you want people to TRULY connect with you on that human level, you have to show all sides. Not only the perfect, filtered version of yourself, because you want believe to believe that's who you truly are.
