Likely, many. I'm sot sure that any of us have real numbers to share with you. also, there are various types of fake. And different ideas of what fake is. so... lets say, a lot. A lot of fakes, but not all are fakes.
Many fake profiles for sure. I think it’s to give an illusion that many people are online at once. Some actual people have fictional profiles for reasons I don’t understand. Anonymity allows me to be more honest
There are different ways to be "fake". A person can, for example, lie about him or herself with others via DM, but then there are also those who have fake profile images displayed for all to see. A person can also pretend to care about an issue in order to gain virtue points with others.
All comes down to what or why someone is deceiving . It’s the deviant types of fake behaviour I abhor . I’m fine with protecting ones anonymity. It should be encouraged 👍. Virtual world is as equally dangerous as the real world, don’t you think .
Everyone is fake to a point Imagine if we divulged all the entirety of our lives. But we dont. Hence why i deemed everyone fake We take parts that we want to share and leave the rest so not to be judged etc
@Punches Yeah, this is what I talk about. You know but I don't. When I asked someone what happened and how people know the truth, I got "I don't need to explain anything to you." 😂 So yeah..
Personally, I think that most of the time it's impossible to know who the user truly is. If it's a man or a woman. I still kind of think that someone who confessed to be a catfish could have been found on another platform and for the sake of her own safety said it wasn't her and she stole someone else's photos. 🤷🏻♀
@CrazyMusicLover hmm well.. it is impossible to know who someone truly is when we are acquainted only online, but it doesn't typically matter.
Not unless we have created some kind of real bond with them or if we are trying to conduct business.
For the stolen photos - I imagine if the photo is of an average looking person, yeah it seems legit. It's when it is of someone really hot that one should question.
About the aforementioned people - ginny supposedly got "outed" about her fake stories, I do not remember how. Some people bought into her stories that she was majoring in law but also sleeping with every man in her town. DH - And someone claiming to be darkheaven's wife created an account revealing everything, that DH is some man claiming to be l3sbian online (like no one would have figured THAT out)
But yeah for the rest of us who do not fabricate huge life stories - no one cares or even asks about our personal lives so nothting to lie about.
@DjBubu6011 I see those grainy scanned photos from the 80's that people post and for some reason, yacht rock plays in my mind. Their wife has the big hair (in both places), and just decor from the 80's.
Kind of makes me nostalgic. BTW that huge thing on the table, that was an early VCR, things were huge,
Just some pic I found on the web, but no female model.
