Why I hate catfish….

You have probably noticed that I have this thing about calling out catfish.

In 2014 one of my friends was talking to a guy she met online and they were in an online relationship. She seemed really happy. He was a good looking guy, they talked on the phone a lot. Anytime they were supposed to have a video call there was always a reason why he couldn’t. Something would come up, he wasn’t feeling well or would have to go into work. This went on for quite a long time.

She didn’t tell me that they hadn’t seen each other on video. It was about 18 months into their relationship and she was pretty upset that day. I asked her why and she told me what was going on.

I had watched the show catfish since it came out so I said we should see if we could try and find the pictures online. We did, we found them online.

She was really crushed by this. She confronted John about this and asked him why he would lie. He said he didn’t want her to know what he really looked like. Then that was it. He just disappeared and he was gone. She never found out who he really was, we knew he was a man. He sounded like a man but she was left broken hearted and with trust issues.

I would just hate to see someone else deceived that way.

What do you all think about catfish? That’s my experience with them.

How could anyone possibly be in a relationship for 18 months (!) without ever seeing the other person?

@helenS she saw pictures of him and they talked on the phone but never did the video chat.

I just saw an episode of catfish where they talked for 17 years! They were both who they said they were but after they met they were incompatible,

@helenS Look up pro football player Manti Tao. During college he had a long time 'net squeeze and even proposed marraige.

Turned out to be a guy catfish the entire time😱

Any chance he got any shit in the locker room after that?

@SW-User I don't get that. What was in it for that guy? A homo maybe?

@helenS Just a freak. Probably getting off fooling a super jock from the epitome of a Catholic school (Notre Dame).

Vic was an extremely naive polynesian. Still playing in the NFL I believe
