She loves being herself instead of showing off.
Why the bolded was 5x more frequent than yours at Google Books?
She prefers being to appearing.
“She prefers being to appearance” is invalid unless quotes surround the two verbs. I’m
done both ways, but mostly without, as people don’t necessarily like the “power to” or “escalator” involved in the quotes. In the following, I provide the links, so one can see the printed characters (which are italic, at times)

Why did Sam dress up as Tom thought?
The independent clauses are joined by a conjunction with the language of N. America. The comma is a compound in the first instance for these independent clauses. The same period is used for international agreements. The two verbs aren’t really related. There’s a scenario this time, and Tom cannot help. It is not quite clear.
Anyways, the meaning is different from the one of the second
Tom couldn’t help but curse when he saw Sam dressed like that.
Which is a “Couldn’t Help but” which uses an idiom that combines the two verbs in a unit of meaning. “What does this idiom say? I want to decrypt bits of this site only for
you 🙂

In Madhya Pradesh in west India there are further significant ghats along the Narmada river. People who have lives on the steps are known as Ghats.
The word is also used in some places outside of the Indian subcontinent where there are Indian families. In George Town in Penang in Malaysia the label “Ghaut” is used to identify the extensions of those streets which formerly ended in ghats before reclamation of the quayside (e.g. Bussemsia-Sylvana) in the 1970s and 1980s. , Church St Ghaut – in Malay Gat Lebuh Gereja is the name of the extension of Church St beyond where the street used to descend to the water via a ghat). In Penang and Singapore, there are areas named Dhoby Goats (dhobi for “launderer”, depending on whether it refers to a person or a business).
