Catfish

If someone sends you their picture and they're a 10, then you meet in person and they're a 2, you've been catfished

A Catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they are not on the Internet, tricking another person into a romantic relationship on false pretenses. These people often like to claim that they are "supermodels" and will use just about any cover-up they can to deceive and manipulate you into submitting to them. This is most prominent on online dating sites, of course, because most people on there are basement-dwelling virgins who can't get a date in real life, and often resort to using trickery to get others to fall for them. They post fake pictures, as well as claim these pictures as their own; this is another method that they use to scam you and make you think the complete opposite of what they look like in real life.

There are a lot of reasons why people do this, some of them include:

• They are embarrassed by how ugly they are. (Fat chicks make up a high percentage of catfish)
• They are a dude who wants to have an online relationship with another dude who may not be receptive to cock.
• They are trying to scam 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.
