i agree with pickles and angel... all the time it's not about being unattractive or having low self esteem..but carrying on the lie for 3 years is a bit much
i have to totally agree with Jax. Just be honest and say no instead of violating somebody else's privacy.
I don't lie online, so I see no reason why other people have to. Of course I would cut that person off. I would do it so quickly their head would spin. Liars are scum, and people that sugarcoat their misgivings are just as bad.
You guys are misunderstanding the term "catfish". Lying to someone for safety issues is not catfishing. Catfishing is people who intentionally want to pretend to be someone else and lie about everything just cuz. Like creeps or stalkers.
Why would using a screen name be catfishing?I'm confuzzeled! Everyone uses a screen name ? All I can say is..."if it's too good to be true, it usually is"! If a guy is too gullible to believe that a single, model look alike and almost perfect girl has fallen madly in love with him....then it is his fault.
lol who cares ?? like why are u dating on the internet for 3years anyway ?? dumbass thats yo fault ,ask for a damn camera pic on kik like nobody cared that yo ass got fooled Get a bf in rl and u wont be lied to,simple !!!
I agree (sort of) with kaname and jax...catfishing implies a level of low self esteem/you're trying to hide something. I did send fake pics and wouldn't tell pple my first name (yes zibiah is my middle name) at the verryy beginning, when i joined a year and a half ago. Mostly because I didn't like the thought of strangers knowing me, now idc lol But if someone were to do that for three years, thats ridiculous. Obviously they haven't learned to trust any of the friends they've made.
Cat fishing is using fake pics, has nothing to do with using a fake name. until I told people my real name wasn't Anya, they never knew. Anya is my gamer name, and never claimed it was my real name. That doesn't make me or anyone else who uses gamer names a catfish. Catfish is used to purposely deceive someone.
Everything on the internet should be taken with a massive pinch of salt. If you are starting to have feelings for anyone online then if you aren't skyping or the person is making excuses not to meet, use your head! I really don't mind who I'm talking to online so long as you are interesting. If someone has told me a big lie I generally just cut them off, no hard feelings. Don't believe everything/everyone you talk to online. I have an 8 inch penis.
