What drives people to set up catfish accounts?

@Carlisle It's a term for a person who pretends to be someone else online. A catfish uses fake photos, and sometimes a false persona, to find friends or romantic partners on the internet.

@iamonfire696 Like pretending to be a girl?

@Carlisle that happens too. Just pretending to be someone your not and using stolen pictures. It happens a lot here.

@Carlisle a guy pretending to be a girl
On the internet yes

@iamonfire696 I couldn't pull it off... I'd totally forget which account I was on, and say something that would absolutely blow my cover. 🤣🤣

@Philasefer or an older woman pretending to be a young beautiful woman. There are many variations.

@NotJamieM I couldn’t do it either. It’s so deceiving too.

@iamonfire696 there's that, too. Plus, if I was masquerading as a young girl on here, I'd be drawing the attention of the absolute last category of people that I'd want anything to do with... 😣

@NotJamieM honestly men don’t care that they are fakes. I have called out so many catfish and they still simp all over them. Then they are added to my list of men I won’t reply to when they PM me 🤣.

@iamonfire696 lol, my point is, I have zero interest in any dudes dumping anywhere around me, never mind all over me. That's why I'd never do the catfish thing. 🤣

@NotJamieM if I was gonna catfish I would definitely use someone pictures that are prettier and skinnier than me. I have been accused of being a catfish.

I don’t understand why older men pretend to be young women. They must be bi or gay because if they wanted to chat to women you think they would pretend to be a younger good looking guy.

@iamonfire696 I wonder how many convos between two "18-21 year old females" are anything but...

@NotJamieM probably a lot 🤣

@iamonfire696 that's disturbing lol

@NotJamieM it really is.

@iamonfire696 both thinking that they're talking to a teen lesbian...

@NotJamieM I reverse image search all the pictures 🤣. I am not getting catfished.

@iamonfire696 I love to do that with these fakers (no one questions being) when they're using seductive legs with high heels shots or personal bathtub pics off Pinterest. These boys will fall for anything and these chicks eat it up the attention 🙄😝🤭

@MoonlightLullaby oh they do and it just shows how thirsty and sad they are 🤣. If I keep going I will soon be blocked from a big chunk of the 18-21 F accounts here 🤭

@iamonfire696 Yep. I used to be more comfortable using my own pictures, but I no longer trust the internet... maybe a subtle suggestion, but I'd feel terrible for praise given towards a body shot that's not my own.😑 It's not only the young girls using stock images, sadly.
