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.

Never trust Myspace angles

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

Examples of Catfishing

The Daily Mail

   
 
In 'Catfish' creator Nev Schulman's case, he fell in love with a girl named Megan, a gorgeous blonde from Michigan.

He spent hours on the phone with Megan and even sent racy texts and messages to her about kissing her and having sex. But months into the relationship, he began to grow suspicious about her identity. He discovered that a song she had sent him, which she claimed to have written, was in fact a single released by another artist. When a few other details didn't add up, he decided to surprise 'Megan' with a visit to her home in Michigan. The person who met him at the door was Angela Wesselman, a middle-aged overweight mother who admitted to creating the profile for Megan - as well as orchestrating an entire network of friends and family members to make Megan seem more authentic. Angela said she was lonely and enjoyed the personal connection that the scam provided her. She later said that she was diagnosed with schizophrenia.

I work for a repo company and I have a fake Facebook set up to lure people who have been hiding their cars from us out on dates. We make plans to meet up, and then when they arrive to meet up, I repo their cars. Hahaha. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


 


 
 

—Some bitch off Buzzfeed

   
 
Lori Drew’s daughter had a falling out with her teenage friend Megan, and Mommy decided that the sanest way to react was pure vengeance. With the help of her daughter and a friend from work, Drew created a fake MySpace profile under the name “Josh Evans.” The plan was to use this account to create a fake relationship with Megan so they could screw with her head. Eventually, Drew had the fake boyfriend say horrible things to Megan, which is believed to have led directly to the girl’s suicide.

Due to legal technicalities, Drew essentially got off scot-free, ending up only with misdemeanor charges that were eventually thrown out. However, while the law may not have meted out much of a punishment, Drew and her family were basically run out of their neighborhood.

A woman from St. Paul had recently gone through a nasty divorce, and was looking for love online to fill the void in her life. She met a man she seemed to have great chemistry with, and things were going well. She opened up to him, allowed him to see her on webcam, and told him all about the trouble she had with her ex-husband. The woman had an alleged physical altercation with her ex-husband, and was planning to get a protection order in court. When she confided this to her new boyfriend, he convinced her not to go through with the protective order.

It was shortly after that when things started to get a little weird. She started seeing her ex-husband pop up wherever she went, when the only person who should have known her movements was her new boyfriend. She investigated and found out that the new boyfriend she had been opening up to was actually her obsessive ex-husband. This time she went through with getting a protective order, and her ex-husband faces stalking charges for his criminally insane behavior.
