On the contrary. The ability to be deceptive, to wear more than one mask, is an evolutionary advantage in my opinion and highly attractive even if people will never admit it because it's socially unacceptable.

Pfft. A five year old can be deceptive. A dog can be deceptive. Deception is easy, and often the easy way out. Being honest is hard - but it's worth it.
You only get one life. If you spend it lying to everyone, you'll end up not even learning who you are.

People with the built-in social surveillance software called "conscience" have a hard time to be deceptive without feeling bad about themselves. For most people it's way easier to be honest.
Not being deceptive is also an evolutionary advantage because people can trust you and you earn a position of respect in your group. Evolutionary psychology is popsci trash, you can invent just-so stories for any number of claims using it.

Success is what - pulling? ... Or finding a partner who likes you for who you are?
Anyway, liking the things you like, regardless of others opinion, is an attractive trait (as long as you're not harming people).
Similarly, being deceptive is very unattractive; and more importantly, deeply bad for you.
