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.

I met a guy on EP and we talked for about a year or so ?I had this exact same case where he'd postpone meeting on a video call by stating something silly.I also figured out the pics he sent me were though not fake still it was taken from his younger days .He basically matched my age.I was 27 then.

Later on ,I discovered the man right here in SW in his late forties,bald and still continuing to chat with females here trying to get hold to them.He's a very active user here btw.

I can easily confront him and ask why he fooled me but then I am not going to lower myself to his level and be a sob story .Rather sharing his story here might open eyes for some possible victim.
