Ok i am confessing to watching the worst produced show on tv! Catfish on MTV is about people who have online dated someone without seeing them via skype or webcam.

You would think NO ONE is this gullible! But week after week it happens over and over! Except last week. For the first time BOTH WERE WHO THEY SAID THEY WERE!

So here it is: A chance to confess. Have you liked someone on-line without ever seeing them? Did you meet them only to find out it wasn't their actual pic..or gender?

    I was happy to see he was who he said he was for a change. And, that cannot be the worst MTV show produced.... Also, thankfully its never happened to me.

    No. But then again, I'm an NFL linebacker that used to play at Notre Dame, so I don't need to resort to online dating to meet women. :wink:

    I dated someone online for a while. It was a very intense relationship. We could talk for hours and hours and hours and never run out of things to say.

    I later discovered he was married and had a toddler. Oops!

    On the plus side, he was actually a he.

    I was watching that last night. I don't think it's the worst MTV show ever.

    I wouldn't say I developed a relationship with someone online, but I did meet up with someone many years ago from a dating site and he was nothing like his picture. Lets just say I cut that "date" short.

    nope...usually I find the guys I chose to meet in person look better in person than their pics. No spark, I move on. Now they have misrepresented their relationship status before...ugh, but apparently that is just a dude thing. :noway:

    and for the record, you can usually tell when someone is lying consistently to you over the interwebz. They tend to avoid your questions.

    No

    I would never let online communications last for very long without talking/Skyping/meeting. I've heard of people that have been in "relationships" for years yet have never met IRL. That's just crazy.

    A long time ago I was on an internet dating site and was talking to this guy. We seemed to have a ton in common- music, films, etc. We talked back and forth for about a week or two and decided to meet up at a local subway stop and take it from there.

    I got off the train and took one look at him and walked right back onto the train and went home. The ONLY reason i even recognized him was because of a very unique tattoo he said that he had on his calf. Otherwise, he looked absolutely nothing like his pictures. He was much older and much heavier than he had mentioned.

    Later on, he calls me and asks what went wrong. I was honest. I told him that I saw him and was upset that he lied, so I turned around and went home. He got very upset - saying that he didn't lie, that he just wanted to "put his best foot forward" and that if he told him his real age/weight I wouldn't have agreed to meet him. He was wrong- I totally would have met him, and I told him that, but lying right off the bat sent me running in the other direction.
