CatFish

[Pho3nix]

Been watching this show for a bit and it's CRAZY !!
All about how people create persona's on the web and have relationships with "genuine" people who see to love them.

Anyone seen this? Anyone been Catfished..Either over Facebook or another social network.

1. catfish

A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.

You little whippersnapper !!
The "old tannies" were playing this game back in the 90s.
That must be the oldest game on the internet.
As social media developed, so did our online personas.


The multitudes of profiles we (2 friends & I) used to create was crazy, as we got more bored, the profiles became a little more bizarre complete with an "off color" fetish or two.
Our goal was not to get others to fall in love, it was more restricted to pure lust.

I think I may have started off as a 18 yr old gymnast & provincial swimmer. Eventually I morphed into an albino amputee with a rubber fetish.

The fun in it, was seeing how many of our friends we could bait.
I was rather surprised as to what some of my friends wanted to do to "me" & have "me" do to them

Never a dull moment !!
