If it is actually faked - that is from the very beginning and deliberately, then the answer is fairly obvious - for some kind of benefit. That may be for attention, adulation , material things, sex , comfort, companionship, as a pose or boast, for reassurance, to incite jealousy, for advancement in employment or social position 

Yes, I believe love can be faked. It’s a shame to tell someone you love them when you really are not .

can love be fake was it such thing well we know it is something called love love thy neighbor may I see where I'm getting it

This Is true indeed

People can pretend to be in love for all the reasons you mention, but keeping up that pretence may not be so easy as time goes on, and it would be seen for what it is. Perhaps this is another reason favouring a long courtship of at least a year, so you really get to know each other and feel sure as you can be before marriage.

Spoken like a true player, but most woman don't like that and the ones that do only like it if you're rich and or famous.

WHEN WE FORM INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS AFTER WE LEAVE THE NEST IS PART OF

GROWING UP. THE NUCLEAR FAMILY IS NO LONGER IMPORTANT ANYMORE TO MOST, THEN

ADD ALL THE LIFE STYLES TODAY.....CHILDREN ARE BECOMING WOUNDED EMOTIONALLY

BY THERE CARETAKERS IN LARGER NUMBERS.....HEALTHY PARENTING FOR THE MOST IS

LEARNED FROM OUR CARE TAKERS.....AND KNOWING GAMES PEOPLE PLAY BECOME HARDER

AND MORE DESTRUCTIVE WITH TIME......SIMPLE TRUTH IS WE TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO

TREAT US. SO WE ALWAYS HAVE A PART IN THE ''FAKE'' STUFF......P.S...ONE WAY I

SEE TO HELP THE SITUATION IS TO LEARN A NEW WAY TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE....WHEN

WE SHARE OUR POINT OF VIEW THE OTHER PERSON THEY WILL TRY TO SEE THE SENSE

IT MAKES TO THEMSELVES AND NOT HOW OUR POINT OF VIEW MAKES SENSE TO US.....

WHEN WE SEE THE SENSE THE OTHER PERSON MAKES TO THEMSELVES WE HAVE REAL

INTIMACY AND IT CONNECTS PEOPLE.....

Love is easy to fake. So many guys said they loved me and I couldn't say it back. They thought I loved them but that was not the case.

OUR BODY LANGUAGE ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUE.....

Guys can't read body language.

And just how many of the thousands of plays and films would you say DID not have fake love?

And do you think some women and men have not copied/used the style, dress, and lines (words, phrases and expressions) of their favorite romantic performer ?

Love is in the palm of your hands when Covid lock down hits.

No actual love can’t be faked. True love feelings is impossible to deny. However a person can pretend to love someone in order to gain something. Usually money.

Love can be "faked" as a display because people have the capacity to lie.

Love itself, when felt is never "fake". This is because love is a feeling which happens within. If its there, its real.
Problem is, some people do not know what love feels like so they assign how they feel as 'love' when it 'really' isn't. However, that wouldn't be 'fake love' it would be ignorance of 'understanding' how you feel.

Since love is an emotionally driven 'feeling' and feelings come and go at different intensities (depending on your mood), you can love someone one minute and not the next. But, during those times when you are 'not feeling love', you can 'fake the display' as a 'bridge' till you feel love again. People do that all the time. It keeps people together. Allows relationships flexibility.

You just contradicted yourself. If you pretend to love someone then you're faking it.
