Obviously, we are all familiar with the phenomenon of men pretending to be women online, but are there any women pretending to be men?

For clarification I am not referring to Trans people, I do not believe trans people are pretending to be anything, I support anyone trying live their life, whatever that means. I love you Trans people, I hope you’re ok and not struggling.

I’m talking about catfishing and is it purely a male pretending to be female issue?

Anything is possible. My only question is to what end?

I would imagine that as a female one might appreciate the solitude and lack of online attention that comes with the territory of being male online. @SW-User

@SW-User Lesbians catfishing straight women. Not sure why but it could happen. 🤔 I don't understand what men pretending to be women might get out of it either.

@CrazyMusicLover I’m not sure, I think it might be about feeling wanted, it would be cool to hear from an actual catfisher.

@OneDayMore There was a woman on here once that confessed to pretending to be a man to see what would be the experience like. I don't know if she catfished with photos or just used M though. I've been mistaken for a man couple of times and I would say there's not much difference in experience. Maybe a lack of simping and more honesty.
