Catfish

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.

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

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.
