I Have a Question

Why do people catfish other people? I mean, I get putting maybe a famous cartoon character or some kind of art piece or something up as your profile pic... but using a celeb or someone else that is real AND isn't you and saying it's you?!! Just why? I'm not ashamed to show my face, so I don't get it. >.<

Well, I can see you're not faking haha I mean when it's someone who is a regular person saying their another regular person is what bothers me... like a old man pretending to be a young beautiful girl. EWIES
I am truly a cat in real life.
Yes, I encountered "Mr Bana". 😏
It's not necessarily a question of being "ashamed". This is basically an anonymous site, hence the usernames, unlike Facebook. But those who deliberately deceive expecting a relationship offline are indeed a sad lot. (Btw, my avi is the actress Lena Horne, who passed away at the age of 92 in 2010.)
I hear ya. I encountered people on EP that relished in catfishing and taking advantage of people's trust. But I guess that's the world we live in now.
My guess is that some are very insecure about themselves, and it's a way for them to get esteem. Or maybe they feel that they aren't good enough for their lovers...? Nonetheless, it's not the right thing to do. If anything, I appreciate a person not being scared to show me their flaws. If everyone was perfect, it would be boring. You'll have to tell them at some point anyways, and it just causes the person to feel betrayed and heartbroken. You could've just told the truth, and spare that.
I hide behind Harrison Ford's pic, but make no claims that I am him. I only claim to be his character, Indiana Jones. Lol
There is always a first time. I am fluent in English and Catese.

@ichaivalrelic & @Sterling I can see that, but like... don't lie about it. I guess I can tell if someone is real or not. No point lying, watched Catfish and thought about how freaky that was >.<

I agree! I'm done with even small talk once they say it's them and I know it's not. Many will straight out say, no it's not me- at least they're honest about it

To me if it's not my identity and it's somebody elses then I don't need to put it as my avatar. The drawing of the kitty however is mine. It's suppose to be me.

It's wrong. I don't understand it either. Some people like wrong. I guess because there's something wrong with them.
