O shit, I watch a YouTube channel dedicated to true stories about romance scams called Scamfish. That’s crazy you know someone who had it happen. The ones I hear about are surprisingly sophisticated and almost always from Laos, Nigeria
But that wasn’t what happened for me. That’s the ultra-extreme version of catfishing, but the term just means to look worse than your pic, which is what happened for me. I’ve had friends, co-workers, and family tell me they’ve just bailed right then if the date looked noticeably worse than their pic, but I’m a people-pleaser and could never do that. I’ll still stick out the date and be engaging no matter what they look like
Plus nowadays most people know how to take a really good pic, and some people edit further with filters. So almost everyone, including me, catfishes their date to some degree. It’s just that Friday it was pretty bad. But she was happily bouncing in place as I walked up, so no way in fuck am I going to go “oh hell no” and leave right then. Would be devastating. We had at least a 2 hour date of food, beer, arcade, fun obstacle course. I just never texted anymore after the generic “thanks for coming I had fun” pleasantries after that
