Do you believe someone has the power to CATFISH you?


- No. I've had people TRY to catfish me, but they lack consistency and I can catch a liar from a mile away. Like, one girl once claimed she was 5'9" (174 cm). Then, several months later, claimed she was 6'1" (185 cm). "She" forgot she told me her height before, and it wasn't the same number. When I brought it up to "her," she tried to claim "it was in heels," but really now, what woman would make that mistake? I think I might be talking to a 6'1" man who dropped character for a bit.
However, the f*cked-up thing about me is, I'm so lonely, I will turn a catfish into a game, as I just enjoy the interactions and conversation with another person, even if they're just pretending. One catfish "girl" tried to get me to buy her some PlayStation gift cards (the leading tool scammers want, since they're non-refundable), and I went as far as to go to Rite-Aid and take a picture of a bunch of them, as if I really bought them for "her." I then sent her the fake codes, and she asked why they wouldn't work, all while I pretended to fall for her scam. With another catfish, I used "her" as free therapy, hooking her by pretending to buy her things online as long as I got to keep talking to her, until her patience ran out.
So yeah, I enjoy talking to catfish, cause it's fun to turn the con back around on them.Is this still revelant?

- I like how it is online. Get away when you want. Just no touch. What's for me is probably a good thing for other people. God I'm such a loser but can I go on a lot different. I need to catfish somebody, have all kinds of crazy ideas. I mean you really have to like do you really bad stuffed online to actually get in trouble I didn't realize that. I had a good day today I thought it was going to go really bad and have two words I made me horny. Might think about this one girl in particular. I'm sure I'm creeping charlie I'm going out. Baby. My night should be going a lot different but I'm glad it's notIs this still revelant?

- They can try... They only have that "power" if you give it to them... Which is exactly why don't do online dating, online relationships, video anything... Anyways, but especially after seeing a thread a few months back where a pink 30-35 ANON bragged how her and others on here catfish people on here and then joke about it in a group chat... And from the things I've seen on here, why do I believe that's true.
And why, I don't get why people sext, or share pics with people they don't know... Even by video, you may see it's really a female or a male, but that doesn't PROVE if they're really single and not already married, in a relationship, really the way they say they are... People can be fooled by people they met in real life, far easier to do so by computer... But when try to warn people, I'm either a prude or closed-minded, so now eh but people should be more careful with who they trust... Me you have to earn that trust IRL, real personal interaction...Is this still revelant?I don't believe you can be catfished on GAG... everyone is a fake on here lol with fake names. It's all fake.
I'm not tho but I really don't care if people think I am... Cuz I'm not trying to hook up on here, not trying to sext or share pics on here with anyone, so it really doesn't matter... That people that really know me and know I'm real deal it's what matters to me
That is what I mean... someone saying you are a catfish is ridiculous. Most everyone is hidden behind cartoon pictures and goofy Screen Names. We should all assume everyone is not who they say they are unless they have a link in bio or something like me.

Umm wouldn't I pic someone prettier and younger 🤔🤣🤣 with a better body 🤔 and because there's also pics of me I've used in other posts, that showed date taken and house background stayed the same, so there's that 🤷🏼♀️
🤣🤣🤣 sure lolol I'm not into games like other people on here.. I'm too old and mature for that childish shit which anyone trying to catfish people apparently it's, especially if they doing it just for sport, it to brag in a group chat, like wtf grow up people, or get a real life or something 🤷🏼♀️
Plus a user on here knew me IRL and just cuz she not on here anymore, the thread where she stated that to another user is, and she was long time user and she knew Another user on here IRL so 🤷🏼♀️ whether that person is, I'd have no idea
Why are you trying to make it like I'm a catfish 🤔 and would it matter if you did? Noone's opinion on here of me really makes it the truth does it? My daughters, my grandson, my family and friends is what matters to me, not people on a website 🤷🏼♀️
Yes exactly. Its GAG. Now if this were a dating site like Bumble or Match then everything you have stated is something a catfish would say. This is why video is super important to make sure people are who they say they are. If someone says their camera is broken or they can't do that then they are simply just lying. Just trying to make a point.
- Lol someone once catfished me as Bryce Harper. I dont even find him cute but i was willing to keep getting to know him. Then finally fell for him and felt dumb af. I didn't even know he was a catfish until this year when i saw Bryce on the baseball commercial lmao. I also got catfished by some tumblr dudes 🙈 this was all years back but yea I don't know what to believe these days.Is this still revelant?
People act like thats impossible. Its not that hard when you have a lot in common. I mean i do hold physical attraction highly but this was one of the few times where personality overpowered looks
I don't believe you can fall for someone online without actually meeting them. I would call it more of a crush or an infatuation at best. Just my opinion though.

- I have been catfished before when I was 18 and man, it sucked! lol I still naturally gave them a chance, though because I felt like they were still the same person and I tried a long time, but they ended up having serious issues. However, we are still close friends to this day.React

- Anonymous1 yOh, I know there are some on here, and caught some, in their lies!!
Why? Just bored, or just malicious, and wanting to fck with people?
"catfish" fcks are just a half step below 'hackers' in lacking integrity and being complete douchbags!!
I think all convicted hackers should be punished, by having their fingers broken, with a bat!
for Catfish, maybe a solid kick to their sack! then another, and another.ReactLike

- It happened to me once, and it never will again. With the advent of video calls, it's almost impossible unless someone uses a stand in for the initial call. After that, I'd call late at night or early morning when I know they'd be alone, and if they always rejected the call, I'd know something was up.React
