Have you ever been catfished?

Question

Oh gawd yes. So this chick seemed normal... we video called and everything. Had me fooled. What do you see in a video call?

Upper body.

So she was mutilated from the waist down. I didn't drive, my friend did, so I was stuck there with this freak show. The story I got was she was a midget and got leg lengthening surgeries. I probably would've had a major boner if she just stayed a midget. But this is real life and things are never that great.

She was all over me, going for kisses and stuff. It was straight up deception on her part, so even if I sound mean... it was called for.

It was a bad night overall. Once my friend dropped her off, he took me to go get beer. I bought a 40oz and then dropped it when I got out of the car. I took sleeping pills and cried myself to sleep. I really thought I was about to meet some potential... and then what happened, happened.

The deception really hit me in a way that I wasn't going to overlook it. Dude, she hardcore tricked me. I even video called with her... still had me fooled.

The funny part is I've always had a thing for midgets... if she didn't fuck with herself, I probably would've been more than down. Her legs were really fucked up though. I don't think I could've enjoyed banging her all that much.

Yes but I catch on pretty quick. So back in my omegle days someone anonymous pretending to be "Maria" was actually some gay guy in peru. I always try to find peoples other social media and other connections to be sure they are who they say they are.

Somewhat...
He claimed to be someone else by identity, (different name & younger) whereas his pictures were himself.
He made up all kinds of stories to go with his age, but I think he got caught in his own web.
He asked me to be his girlfriend, I said I'd work towards it, because I really liked him.
Two days later I was blocked.
Haven't heard from him since.

I'm very good at spotting fakes, scammers and such, so no, it hasn't happened. With the scammers I used to pretend to be falling for their lies, and just string them along and ask awkward, and sometimes stupid, questions, just to waste their time and frustrate them.

HawkPerception · Answer

Luckily, no. No one has ever catfished me. However, I have been told by a couple girls on dating apps that they've seen other people with my profile picture, so clearly others are using my picture to catfish others. It's kind of a compliment to me, but also annoying as fuck because my credibility goes down and makes it harder to match with others 😅

sheikalana · Answer

I've been catfished when I used dating apps. Never to the point where we agreed to meet tho. The person who tried to do it started feeling bad and eventually told me they were impersonating someone else.

Yeah, his photos were before he gained a lot of weight. Note to self: always use current photos of yourself so others don't get lead on.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Yes but thankfully twice the guys turned out to be hotter than the pic so i got over it

EDR44 · Answer

No only because I'm used to online dating and know what questions to ask someone before I consider meeting them in person. Also can tell if pics are not real or just old.

handsomelad70 · Answer

No, because I never played Major League Baseball and thus never had to bat against the late Hall Of Fame As and Yankees right-hander Jim "Catfish" Hunter.

I want to catfish someone but my catfish personality also boring 🫠

Anonymous · Answer

Not successfully. Most catfishes are lazy and so they always leave some part of thier bio that doesn't add up. And since I ALWAYS read a woman's bio I always spot it.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I've had it tried on me, but since I do not date online I am a difficult target.

Trekfan68 · Answer

Many times.  Some of my experiences predate the internet back to telephone chat lines. Catfishing was even easier when no pictures were involved.

Anonymous · Answer

A guy I follow on twitter claimed he had all these stories. Later he confessed it was all a lie.
