Catfish selfie posts creep me out
I always think this poor girl is out there somewhere with no clue someone is pretending to be her. It's like a form of identity theft.

I have those same feelings about lots of internet photos.
The catfish ones,the captioned ones, the funny ones. Do the people in the photos give consent?
And then there are the nude or erotic photos that are supposedly just for her partner, but he puts them online without her knowledge.
I read an account by someone who used to visit a site about "show your wife", and he felt sickened when he recognized his son's wife. He wrestled with what to do, but finally decided to have a painful conversation with his son, which he began with "we both have a problem.'

@DrWatson I have a thing about what I call "wife pimps". I got to be 49 years old without even realizing that sort of thing existed, until I first saw them on EP.
Whether the pics are their actual wives/girlfriends or random internet pics, the need to show off a partner like a car or piece of property screams "loser" like very little does. 😞

I had a male friend here that shared pics with me. Not smutty ones, ones of himself, his family. Lovely ones from when he was a kid, with his mum.
After 5 years friendship, i hadnt hadnt heard from him for months. Dunno why I'd never done it before but i imaged searched the latest pic. It came from an Insta acc. A guy with a very similar name with thousands of followers.... a bit of an entreprenure, not short of a few quid! Was this actually him?? I went through the pics and found all the ones he'd sent me over the years.
I messaged the guy on Instagram. He was gracious enough to chat with me and it was clear he didn't know who I was. I told him someone here was using his pics, even ones of his family. He asked for details of the account and email i had for the person which i gave him.
I dont know if he took any action.
I reported the profile here and SW put a warning on the profile....but it remained up and (at that time) active.
I also found on that insta profile a photo another friend here had sent me. A mutual friend who knew the guy in RL.... indicating to me they were infact the same person.

@HotPizza71 to chat with new people here? Wow! Does that still happen?? Lol.
Coz for me, if a new person messages me and asks for 'proof' i'm whon say i am.... thats the end of that! Its different if the connection, friendship is already established. ..and i get where yr coming from then, once yr invested. Mind you...seeing someone can change ones mind about the nature of the friendship too. I sent pics to guys (not smutty ones) and suddenly, its like i've given them permission to get leary andvtell ne what they'd do to me given the chance.
Also the opposite has happened when the clearly weren't impressed and what i'd thought of as a budding fun friendship was stopped in its tracks.
I can still remember you stopping talking with me after swapping a pic years ago!! Lol. Ouch!!!!
