Do you believe someone has the power to CATFISH you?

[MCheetah]

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.

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 not

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...

[DizzyDesii]

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.

[jennifer_bloom]

Well I won’t date a guy just for his looks so it would be very hard to cat fish me

[Killer-Queen]

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.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I've had it happen to me a few times, people pretend to be someone who they really are not but sooner or later I catch on to them and I catch them in their own lies some can be tricky for sure they can lead on for a long time until we catch on to their lies?

[loveslongnails]

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.

[Anonymous]

Oh, 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.

[Jjpayne]

I think it's very possible. You just find a person with different pictures and with the right texting you can easily catfish a person.

Kind of reminds me of the thing or invasion of the body snatchers

[Miristheiss]

No.
I am married and I have never had long distance online relationships.
I mean someone who have to meet me or Skype me pretty early on... things couldn't remain online only.

[Phoebe45]

Yes... we all have a dream guy don’t we?
Meeting that person online who pose all the qualities we want in a man given that he’s Catfishing you or not, we are all bound to fall under his spell of seduction..

[offendedsorbet]

Pretty good at picking catfishes out. I was one for many years so it's easy to spot the things that I use to do or say.

[cherryblossomXD]

Just ask them to videochay honestly. If they always say no or makeup excuses, then they fake for sure. Ain't nobody not have a camera these days.

[Liam_Hayden]

I'm still not convinced that you aren't all bots, so probably not.

[InferiorElegy]

Been catfished enough times on dating sites, kept having hope and everytime a female messaged me my hopes went up I messaged back and seemed fine until 2 more replies and then I realized it was either a bit or a scammer.

[dandiecandie]

I got cat fished once. The guy said he was 160 cm and then he wasn't. He was 150 cm with heels. Now I can say I dated a midget!

[Me080Mo]

That’s gross. It’s another reason why I don’t get engaged with dating sites or getting to know someone online. They always end up to be something WRONG!

[itsmeamy]

I been catfished before it was heartbreaking I really liked the guy

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

Unless I see proof a person is real, I won't believe they are. It's the internet, and I have been cat fished before, so definitely not trusting everything I see or hear.

[Slim57]

Do you mean I'd be foolish enough to let it happen or just anyone can do it in general?

[ryancg]

Not even for a second. I can see through that crap miles away. Plus, I've always just assumed anyone I talk to online is full of shit.

[Jamie05rhs]

They could. However, they might go to a bad place after they die. So I wouldn't recommend it.

[tartaarsaus]

Oh sure if credible enough. I tend to not pay that much attention

[Anonymous]

No, I generally tend to be skeptical and wary of anyone I meet online

[Anonymous]

I'm not going to say no. But the paranoia is strong with me. They'd definitely find me a challenge. And most catfish are lazy and like easy targets.

[hi_it_is_me123]

It is actually a good way to find out if someone is sgallow or not.

[mélancolie]

no it's very obvious very fast

[IlluminatiExposed0]

Absolutely, so long as they don't ask for money. I have a nose for scammers.

[LastQueenOfScotland]

Why I avoid online dating

[Everyoneisplastic]

Nobody can catfish me because I don't do online/app dating. Haha eat it Tinder!

[Anonymous]

It’s happened in the past but I don’t fall for it anymore

[Iron_Man]

Anyone can be catfish at any given time

[Anonymous]

No. I'm a Psychologist, and I am trained to identify false representations.

[9Livezzz]

Best way to catch a catfisher is to have them send you a picture of them doing something. Even better a video.

[tae_ie]

I don’t get catfish, i’m the Catfisher

[humanearth]

Everyone one is a sucker. It can happen to anyone

[FreyaRed]

Unlikely, but never say never.

[Avicenna]

Of course it’s possible

[clampfan101]

I imagine I’m too trusting to not have a risk.

[Gedaria]

Yes it can be difficult to tell the difference.

[moonpie89]

Haha nope. I don't fall easily

[Agem123]

Nope.

Unless someone is super stupid😂

[more_than_a_guy]

Many people can, should they? No!

[Cherokeehp]

I don’t date online.

[serious]

The answer is NO

[Joker_]

Sure
