Why are male catfish always oil riggers or out on the sea as Captains ?

Are they? Female catfishes are nurses or work at charitable organisatons. Although their profile picture is of them oiled up and half naked , with their boobs hanging out, they are "god fearing loving women:

First of all, these are jobs for burly, manly, hairy, 2 fisted manly men who take no guff.

Secondly, having these "jobs" allow them to disappear for days or weeks at a time...

So they can make the gullible believe they don’t have access to their money thus:

1) Need loan after loan for ridiculous reason after ridiculous reason (which they will most certainly pay back once they ride off into the sunset together and live happily ever after.)

2) Need to use their bank account to funnel checks through (in a money laundering scheme.)

3) Need gift cards (which they can then sell for cash.)

4) Need to pay medical bills when they get injured in their “dangerous profession.”

And just in general can invent ridiculous reason after ridiculous reason why they can’t video chat or meet up in real life, again counting on the gullible person not knowing any better.

Sadly people fall for this a lot. And lose thousands of dollars. Loneliness, sadness, depression and yes, just a lack of intelligence and common sense can cloud their judgement and make them very vulnerable. I watch their stories on YouTube all the time.
