Never trust Myspace angles

A Catfish, or Catfishing, is the act of posting Fat Girl Angle Shots on dating websites and apps, in order to lure desperate losers into weird sexual encounters in back alleys, often resulting in broken hearts and dead boners.

The main culprits of Catfishing are closet homosexuals, fatties of both sexes, and disease carriers, who use sites like Plenty of Fish or Tinder. Because the amount of charming young men on these sites is quite high, they find it easy to prey on those whose dick hasn't been wet in a while. And because most of them are just looking for a root, they'll roll with putting their dicks into any stinky vagoo.

Most cases of Catfishing are one off encounters for a quick date or hook up with an ugly, but longer internet relationships are not rare. These are often perpetuated on Facebook and Instagram. They will develop weird online relationships with people, sending them n00dz, and claiming that their relationship is just as good as a real life one. However, whenever they bring up the issue of actually meeting in real life, the Catfish will swim into the night, looking for new prey.


Why they Catfish

Aside from the obvious issues of hiding their disgusting rolls of fat from other people, or keeping their closet homosexuality near the coats, Catfishing has a variety of other uses.

  • They're just bored, and boring people
  • Trolling
  • Scaming money off of a person
  • To trick others into dishing out their personal information
  • They are unable to get a date in real life
  • They like play out their sexual fantasies on the internet
  • They are trying to rape and/or kill you
  • They have Assburgers and being a keyboard warrior mildly hides that fact
  • Because its their job as repo men or police officers
