MFP catfish?

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the occasional friend request from someone that reminds you of a serious episode of Catfish? I swear some of these profiles, like hello we can tell when you get the pictures off google images, we can see who's profile you stole them from. Sad life . . .to have to impersonate someone else or make up a fantasy . . .

    Yes whenever a super model man or woman posts, people go crazy until someone finds the pic on Google.

    I'm actually a french model. I took this fat chick's picture off Google to hide my identity. All the fanfare gets to be too much sometimes.

    I don't get friend requests.

    Also, I'm not a baby doing one-armed pushups.

    I'm the famous weeki wachee mermaid in fashion photographer Toni Frissell's photo published in Harper's Bazaar in December 1947. Sometimes I'm Edie Sedgwick or Jane Birkin, or Rudolph's girlfriend. Often I'm just me. :)

    Can't say I know what "Catfish" is but I am guessing some like to hide who they are and like it to be obvious while others live their lives in an electronic universe and would rather not be who they really are. As for me,,, I just like to ride.

    Wouldn't it be reasonable to presume that MOST people on the Internet are NOT what they present themselves to be. To protect oneself to some degree, a REASONABLE Person would take precautions...YOU do NOT know who or what is behind a "screen name".

    ONLY when you meet someone IRL can you get some idea of who they are; and when you meet them you may DESPISE them! That is why I do not "get" Cyber Cliques...if these peeps met each other IRL they would prolly RUN the other way. I just accept the positive motivation, Live by MY own Values, and IF I "Friend" someone...I watch their activity and if they exhibit Values...that I do not like, I "UNFRIEND" quickly! NOTHING in Cyber is real, and of course, Why would any sane person put REAL info out there if they don't want it to come back at them.

    I have met some people IRL that I first connected in Cyber, BUT we never exchanged too much info until we "knew" each other. What are YOU expecting...a "PREDATOR" can tell a "MARK" so Protect yourself. There are soooo MANY pathetic people out here, if you saw them, met them...you would say OMG, and RUN WAY. Most are looking for anything to call a life, and per chance someone that is as pathetic as they are will have phone or cyber sexx with them or some other vile stuff.

    Sorry but YOU sound Naive!

    no, I agree that a lot of people online are like that, not naive at all. I just think it is kinda funny that the stories they tell are soooo out there that they even think it will owrk. ANd I agree that most pople that are friends on here would not get along in real life

    Aaaaand you sound a little angry. Or something. A distinct flavor of upset and condescending, that's for sure.

    I agree. wow. I have plenty of friends here that also see me, know me in real life so it's not like I'm a "predator". Or maybe I am and just have a posse of "predator" friends to trick you all. lol
