Have you ever been catfished on here?

Is it still catfished of you knew it 😯

I can usually tell pretty early in the conversation if someone is being dishonest or not being themselves. I don’t pm much though. There are people I would like to know more deeply here, that I know are real, but it’s never the ones that want to talk to me 😆

I had a long time friend a while back... Never in a million years would I have ever guessed he was really a she. 😳

Yes i havs quite a few times. Once was quite hurtful

Who hasnt had someone try

I don’t think so. EP was a great training ground for this, (as well as real life) so by the time I joined SW, I’d gone through a drastic internal metamorphosis.

Catfish are a tradition here on SW. They do their part by keeping the rest of us entertained.

I’m not sure as much catfished as much as people with shitty intentions pretending, but then their true intentions come through after awhile and I’m disappointed because I thought they were cool and enjoyed the regular conversation. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's happened to me one time.......

If it's obvious they're being silly I can let that pass, but if they're jerking my chain no, I end the conversation.

I don't think so. When someone tries to portray themselves as something they're not their story will fall flat at some point.

Not here, no. On EP I was cat-fished by a a couple of high school girls pretending to be Selena.

A few have tried, but generally speaking no. It's never been a major issue.
I have one guy who tries to contact me over and over with new nicknames and I figure it out it's him VERY quickly. lol

I have received some private messages like that, but it is so obvious what they are about that I ignore them.

I know of quite a few.. as long as they don't bother me I'll usually play along..

I don't really think about whether someone looks like they say on here. I am more interested in knowing them as a person so to catfish me would be silly.

I usually stay out of private chat unless I have known the user for years.

I do not talk to many people to be honest

I'm just here to pass time and answer questions so i don't think i have 🤔

Not here, but on EP.

Oh, Now I understand, I was just taught always to be honest !

I don't even know what that means !

No but this is definitely a pond

They sure tried

Yes most women are men

yes a few times.

Thanks for bc🙂

Who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Maybe

No

Nope!

Wasn't this question posed last week? Sure, it seems an year ago

Id say so

I always know when they are lying about being the person in the picture. If people don’t want to share their picture that’s fine. I respect that .
