Someone still trying to earn their local yokel stripes in their late 30's instead of being themself.
The poseur was a big fish in a small pond back in the small town he was from, where he was a known town bully, and he expected the locals in others places to treat him not only as one of their own, but as the big fish there. He was the kind of guy that robbed a boutique store for female's clothing and sold it back to unsuspecting females to try and get respect from people that didn't even know him, trying to make a name for himself.

Someone that winks to feign joking without the other person knowing that their intention wasn't really to joke.
The poseur told the other person how to join her poseur cult and winked after she said it to indicate she was feigning kidding while looking and sounding serious (but claimed to not care what anybody thought of her even though everyone else did care what people thought of them).

Somebody that changes their hair and eye color on a week to week basis so that they can keep acting tough all the time.
The poseur never kept the same look long enough for anybody to actually hold her to the same standards that males were held to, which was a double standard.

Someone that needs their peers to believe in them, and thinks that everyone else needs the same thing to keep going.
The poseur was a narcissist, she claimed to be different but deep down she saw her own image when she looked at everyone else, and thought that everyone else was the same way.

Your father was never a hard ass with you, he was always protective and civil with you because you were soft and nerdy as a kid, quit being a poseur to try and gain fame/riches/respect/power from it.

The poseur didn't believe there was anybody out there who wasn't trying to take advantage of any oppurtunity they could, or try and walk over anybody they could, or that if there was somebody like that, they were doing it for the same reason he/she was, to win or make himself/herself look good/popular (or even outcast if that made him/her popular with other people that had been rejected by others, anything to keep himself/herself from ending up alone). The poseur didn't really believe there was such a thing as goodness, but knew how to manipulate people through organizations such as religious organizations by speaking a language that he/she thought people wanted to hear (such as there are good people out there or the world can change it's heart). The poseur never once thought that the world might not want it's heart changed for it, that the world thought it's heart was good the way it was, the poseur never once thought that because the poseur didn't give a fuck what people thought about anything, but desperately cared what people thought of him/her (despite saying the opposite, that he/she cared about people but not what they thought).

The poseur worked hard at being loose all her life, so that people would like/love her. She always said she didn't care what anybody thought, or preached to everyone about how they should all be themselves and stop trying to prove they were good people, but really she was more desperate than anybody to convince others she didn't care what anybody thought. There were those of them that could see through the rungs in her ladder, as she could see through the rungs in theirs.
