So it seems lately on the dating apps I am getting a lot of catfish attempts. I am trying to wrap my head around it.
What do they get from catfishing anyways?And why do they seem so driven to move to other chat platforms?
But are all they are after are pics? Seems a lot of work for something you can find a ton of for free all over the web.
Still trying to figure out why they want to use other chat apps.
I used to always reverse google search photos that people gave me. That weeded out a large proportion of catfish for me.
Not sure how you 'reverse search' s photo? If someone sends you a pic, how do you research it? Sorry, I'm not that tech savvy.I used to always reverse google search photos that people gave me. That weeded out a large proportion of catfish for me.

That’s a great idea, something I wouldn’t think to do. Thanks for the suggestion.
Remember that some of us are old enough to remember 9.9 baud dialup modems. We lived the magical transition from the 5-1/4 to the 3-1/2 floppy disk. And many of us booted to the ubiquitous C: prompt. Amazing that my watch and microwave have more computing power than my first home built computer.
Wow. Thanks for taking the time to explain.1. Assuming you are using your phone, go to www.google.com then click on "images" to get into google image search.
2. In the top right hand corner of your browser (not the website itself) you can go into the dropdown menu and select "request desktop site"
3. When you do this, you will see a camera icon appear in the right side of the search bar. Click on this and it will give you the option of browsing your files where you can find the picture you saved.
Google will then search for all visually similar photos.
So it might be a 60 year old woman saying on line that she's a HOT 26 year old stud to string you along, get you to fall in love with 'him' for the sole reason of manipulating you. It could be just to be malicious, or to give her the selfish joy that she has gotten someone to fall for her. In the end, it's all about her deceiving you.ok so i'm new and dumb to a lot of this and a catfish to me sounds like a fake? who wants pics of you, me...to pose as? jo to? both? is that also a person who comes across as wanting to meet but suddenly has stuff come up? as if they jo talking about it all and came and were done? thanks and don't call me a dumbass.
