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.
I'm savage w/ catfish lmao. All the catfish questions. I'll link everyone the original photo and name. The well known catfish I force them to delete their accounts or expose. Look at slightlycrazy 's comment.
Yeah did that to a couple users apparently. Who ever literally lived in the middle of no where lmao. Was just in the middle of a fucking field with no main roads for a couple miles.
They very well could be I wouldn't go through the effort of trying to work passed a VPN. But yeah like you said a. n average gagger is t using a VPN/proxy

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.
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.

Great take. I'm terrible at spotting most catfishes so I'm glad there aren't any here 😉😉
Thank you, thankfully I've only run into a few LOL.
What do you mean there aren't any here?

@Red_Arrow 😮😠not youuuuu!
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.

Probably right i guess.
Sweet take, you're gonna be a kickass editor.

Opposite gender

that is actually savage af :') but good on you for what you pm'd her. Telling people to slit their wrists... just no.

@Chico_brah that's weird af... any chance of them using a proxy server or something? (not that the average gag user is smart enough to)

YES he should be made an Editor!
LOL thanks guys, I will probably apply soonish.
@Chico_brah True true, the IQ level of the average gagger isn't very high lol
The Internet's a scary place but that ending note on the post is savage af XD
Haha thank you, gotta end with a bang.
And you did XD

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

So hot
As an older man I get a lot of potential catfishes so I have had a lot of practice at spotting them.
That's good LOL, I can for the most part mostly because snap chat exists.
Revenge catfish scares me the most... great job though 😊
Thank you :), and I agree. It's scary because it can be someone online or in real life. It's pretty horrible...
Np and exactly!!!
I wish those people who do that would put their ambitions to somewhere else.
I kind of think they need to get a life/get help.
Good take bruh, the best way to find out is asking their any social accounts.
Thank you and yup, usually they will have little friends or no tags at all.
Wtf, this describes every person alive to some extent.
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.
"To some extent".
I was catfished once
Come to find out the girl had done this to like 20 guys
I was so stupid lol
Eh some are just hard to point out, I know plenty of people who have been catfished at some point.
Well she lived like ten hours away on the other side of the state
It just wasn't going to work
I think she thought i was gonna be a singer
I can sing okay but NOT THAT good so I guess she thought she was gonna hitch herself to me but that was gonna happen lol
I never seen any catfishes online and I'm not a catfish sometimes I show my face on gag and sometimes I don't
Lol, I can name a few obvious catfishes on the site but it make become a member post so I guess I won't mention midnyte or openthedoors... oops
Welp too bad.
i can't spot a catfish for my life! great take this help a lot :)
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.

Fantastic mytake, and very detailed. Catfishes are worse than trolls.
So... what's your address? 😂😂😂
You're gonna have to get to know me better first ;)
It's a capitalist disease - lying and pretending and manipulating others being the norm, allowed, even glorified and envied.
Is it catfishing if I lie about my age in online dating?
Yup pretty much, but I guess that's the milder catfish.
