    OMG GIRL YES!!! I asked him (jokingly) if he was a catfish and then his profile was GONE! We were talking about the gym and he said he had t worked his arms in “like 5 years hahaha” so I asked how his arms looked like that if he didn’t work out and then I asked if he was a catfish. Boom.. GONE

    I knew it! You are wayyy to fine to be real.

    Dang it! I’m busted. You know catfishing is truly awful when there’s a reality show about it.

    Catfishing? Here? Nah....


    I would type more on the subject but my private jet is waiting. I'm off to Moscow to watch the World Cup final with Mick Jagger and his friends.

    There's an extra seat available on the jet, PM me if you're interested, okay?

    I’m so in. Couldn’t care less about Mick Jagger and friends, but a private jet, World Cup final, and a date with a cartoon? How could anyone turn that down?

    I’m new to MFP so I started talking to a guy here,he seemed like a decent bloke but he started calling me fake.He was like “are you real?”.I said I feel real to me.But it turns out he was catfished before.
    Oh and we stopped talking because he was married and wanted to hide it from his wife.I ain’t a homewrecker my friend. 🙄

    And this is why he was paranoid and thinking you were cat fishing him! Guilty mind! So, he’s probably thinking you’re a friend of his wife’s or something and you’re on to him!

    Yeah I realized that when he told me he is married & can’t talk to me while he is at home.I asked then if his wife saw my msgs then? He said oh I delete kik when I went home.
    I blocked him as soon as I read this.

    I admit, it’s a guilty pleasure. And Nev is :love:

    It is a guilty pleasure. I can’t believe some of those relationships go on for YEARS and those people haven’t seen the person they are supposed to be “in love” with. RED FLAG!

    Maybe I’m odd, but I like to chat with everyone, whether I know he is a catfish or not. I don’t send pics. I will have a conversation about whatever. If they are only interested in the pics, they leave on their own. Sometimes, I just think people are lonely and need someone to talk to. Someone made a good point about low self esteem or self confidence.

    What's your KIK?

    Ha! I don’t have kik. Sorry. What’s your address? ;)

    I think I’m most cases the see the red flags. They just don’t want to believe them. Maybe they have some self esteem issues of their own. Or they’re really shy and struggle talking to the opposite sex. They so desperately want to be loved that they look past the obvious signs. Or they have been talking to this person for so long. They have assured them they love them no matter what. They couldn’t believe that they would lie to them, or don’t want to believe it. When the sad thing is I think a lot of times maybe the other person would have accepted them if they were up front and honest to begin with.
