Great take. I'm terrible at spotting most catfishes so I'm glad there aren't any here 😉😉

Realy, i don't get why catphishing is an epidemic. It's easy to not get phished.

Some of the rules pointed out are true yes, but it seems so obvious.

  I think it has more to do with people WANTING to believe that these people are real, I am sure there's doubts in their mind but that gets put away because they create excuses for them consciously.

You CAN"T catfish on GaG; this is not a dating site, so the only harm to others/benefit to self would be someone thinking a 20 y. o. girl is responding when it is actually a 15 (or 50) year old guy. Which is essentially meaningless.

Unless you are trying to use GaG as a hookup site - good luck with that.

  There's still people who sext and shit on this site though, I'm sure someone got fucked over at some point.

As an older man I get a lot of potential catfishes so I have had a lot of practice at spotting them.

  You mean the steps on how to avoid a catfish? That's specifically for romantic interest catfishing. If you mean everything else, I highly disagree.

You know, some people are just dump to believe/ trust someone they've never seen honestly, as much as the catfish needs a life, so does his/her prey.

  Eh honestly how I think it happens is that when you meet a catfish they're pretty much too good to be true, so you start to want to believe they're real people. This consciously makes you make excuses for them and often the person will make excuses as well. My friend was catfished for a year by the opposite gender, not that she's a stupid person but easily manipulated.

It's a capitalist disease - lying and pretending and manipulating others being the norm, allowed, even glorified and envied.

  Yup pretty much, but I guess that's the milder catfish.
