    When I was 15 I met a guy who said he had just turned 19, was over 6' tall, had dark brown hair and blue eyes and 190 lbs... he got to my house (yes I was that naive at 15) and he was like 25, easily 300+ lbs and a mouth breather. I was polite for as long as I needed to be before my backup plan came to the door to check in. :laugh:

    I feel like in this day and age, if someone is talking to you and they say they don't have a webcam or a camera of any kind, then you are probably being scammed.

    I got a friend request one facebook from my ex's former friend. He was a Marine and deployed. We chatted on facebook for about 2 weeks and he said he really liked me and asked me if we could go on a date when he got back. Chatted for a couple more days and then he asked me to MARRY him. Everything got kind of creepy at that point.

    Oh, and his brother is a 26 year old Marine on his 3rd marriage. First wife married during bootcamp and was gone in a year. Two more since then at least..

    Apparently their parents never told them that you should get to know someone before marrying them.

    There's a lot of CATFISH on MFP...weight loss wise.

    They log cooking, standing, food prep as exercise...

    :ohwell:

    Try working in a busy kitchen, not a home kitchen. You will be burning insane calories! Normally on a busy night I am almost dripping in sweat and out of breath.

    MTV is the TV version of Fast Food. It's bad for you. Turn the channel to Discovery Channel or History Channel, CNN even.

    Discipline your mind as well as your body.

    I'm a bum magnet meeting men the old fashioned way and apparently online as well.

    No details but I've been scammed and lied to a lot. I met one real man but he was too busy to date even though he said he wanted a relationshop. Then one idiot I met lied on his profile and expected me to be okay with that, then lied in person and expected me to be okay with that, then got mad when I wasn't okay with that and called me a f***ed up person, then expected me to be okay with that because his feelings got hurt because I dropped him like a hot potato for all the lying. Oh, and he was about 100 pounds heavier than his profile picture (lie), said he was a hard worker but was actually on disability, and said he was active but actually slept until 1 or 2 pm everyday.

    So, where are all the real men?

    Edited for grammar

    The last date I went on - he thought I was catfishing him!!

    I hate talking on the phone & I a technological moron who doesn't do skype.
    I find texting so much easier!
    Well we had been texting for months & we planned a date but I had to cancel due to work.
    There came the question "are you a real person?"

    I was like OH CRAP he thinks I am a 68year old man or something -- I met him and jeez I wish I would have kept him as just a text buddy!! What a waste... he was real - a real *kitten*!

    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.

    LOL!

    I have once when i was younger. He said he was 17 (i was 15) and from england. My mom found out and luckily had some friends at the police station and asked them to investigate. It ended up being a man in his middle 30's from kansas with a wife and children. CREEPY

    My first real serious boyfriend I met on Myspace (way back when Myspace was cool). He was honest in who he said he was, as far as his legal name, gender, and background...less honest about being a decent guy who respected women and gave a *kitten* about anything other than his own ego. :laugh:

    It seems strange in the age of Skype and Facetime that someone could actually talk to and have a "relationship" with someone else for YEARS and never see them real time! That is a major red flag! I have never been "catfished" but I know people who have, one guy I know was talking to this girl for like 1.5 years, he went to visit her TWICE and she never showed up, after much drama and some snooping he found out that SHE was actually a transsexual he and s/he was also 10 years older. Needless to say it didn't end well.

    Probably the most messed up story was my best friend's younger sister who was "seeing" a dude for like 2 months, only they never talked on the phone, Skyped, Facetimed, nothing. It was basically e-mails, online messages and texts. Come to find out he was actually the 13 year old older brother of the girl she would babysit and she only found out because he kept going on and on about his new g/f but wouldn't share any real details about her, so as a joke (probably a bad one in hindsight) she snooped through his phone when she was babysitting one day and he had gone to the bathroom and saw HER phone number and HER texts....that was really f'd up. She never babysat for the family again unfortunately. To this day I wonder what it means that 19 year old could carry on a "relationship" with a 13 year for 2 months...
