Do you play along with catfishes or do you call them out?

It always astonishes me that people believe some of these catfish accounts. It doesn't really bother me and yes, they are deceiving people, which is wrong, but maybe some people want to be deceived. Not really my business, there are more pressing issues. 😅

I think some people are so caught up in fantasy here that it makes no difference to them.
@Morrigan Most likely. There seems to be a lot of role-playing on here. Adults pretending to be kids and vice versa. I can't prove it, just a strong hunch.

People see what they want anyway here so I don't bother
@SW-User Good point. Even if you alert people they might not even see it because of their personal biases.

@Angelwarfare exactly..I don't bother

People like to be validated, even if the validation is invalid
@meJess Yes, true. Being liked for who aren't is gonna bite them in the butt later though.

I am actually not observant enough to know which accounts are catfishing. Are there any telltale signs that I should be looking out for?
@Bri89 Pro photos (that they say are them), if there is only one that's often suspicious. Any photo of young women in lingerie lol Although, to be fair, they could be hookers looking for business. 🤣

@Angelwarfare Thank you.
@Bri89 No worries.

it's hilarious just how obvious many of them are, It's like they googled "women selfies", and picked a picture from the first page of results to use as profile picture... 🤔
Usually it would take a few times to annoy me... but one English person was being such an obnoxious twat about my username and saying I wasn't a Brit so I blocked him.

I’ve actually witnessed men messaging other men and asking if they can just pretend to be a woman for them. Getting really desperate when they’re so creepy that all the actual women instantly block them.

@Angelwarfare I wasn’t an avid EP user, I joined this site in 2020. I don’t know who Chris Chan is but he sounds like he needs to be thrown off a bridge.
@travelguy01 .... but he is trans! You can't say that! 😉

@Angelwarfare No, he lost his privilege to being treated nicely when he raped his own mother. At that point he can be called a hippopotamus and beaten with a rubber hose.

I just do not respond to them.
Honestly, I rarely can tell. And since I didn’t join SW to try and date anyone and have no money to speak of, it’s unlikely any dedicated catfish would seek me out.

I pay no attention to that childish behavior.

Call them out and report
@BigGuy2 Nah, they seem relatively harmless. It's just obvious to me that they aren't who they're pretending to be. You can tell right away.

@Angelwarfare ... i mainly concentrate on the hookers that claim to be someone else, you can mainly tell when they say "let's move to 'WhatsApp' ..." or "only if you pay me"

...there was one who i lead on by telling her stone bonker lies - APPARENTLY, i own my own company and own my own house after everything was left to me in grandpa's will AND my hobby is collecting Classic Cars 🤭🤭🤭
@BigGuy2 Haha good job. I agree, those kinds need to be reported!
