Catfishing 101

The Top 10 Ways Of Telling If He's A Catfish 

So if you follow me you know I write a lot about online dating. I want to help other people out there navigate through the bullshit that I had to learn when I first became single after 24 years of marriage.

There were so many things I had no idea about. So many things I wish I had learned faster and not had to waste so much time learning along the way. So since I've learned all of these things I have decided to pass them on to you. These are the signs that took me forever to figure out.

1. He has no picture.

This usually means 

A. He's married or B. He's a catfish 

Come on people we all have phones that are glued to our hands, there is no reason you have no pictures! 

2. He only had one picture.

This usually means he stole someone else's picture.

*Note Catfish are getting smarter now and they may have stolen more than one picture.

3. He only has a headshot.

This may mean that you may end up meeting someone who is 400 lbs like I did. Let's all be honest here, we all like what we like. Short, tall, skinny, chubby, buff so let's put it all out there from jump, why lie?

4. His grammar is off.

He uses small i's, or it just doesn't sound right, he says I am James by name, Who says this? Hello! Catfish do.

5. He right away love bombs you.

You haven't even met yet and yet he's calling you my love, or baby. He's talking about marriage and commitment. Love bombing at its finest.

6. He says he's overseas working or in the service.

My line to this one is if I wanted a pen pal I would have written someone in prison. I am looking to meet here who lives near me so that we can go to the movies or on a date night. Let me know when you get back here and we can meet then.

7. He's a widower and single parent.

Look I know there are some real people like this but if you see this, many times you will see the other signs I wrote about as well. They are trying to work on your soft heart, feeling sorry for them.

8. They ask you for money. They are stuck in another country, their mom is sick, etc.

 I shouldn't have to write this but so many women fall victim to this one. Watch the Tinder Swindler, they are out to get your money. My answer to them is, don't you have friends or family who can give you some money? You are asking a stranger? Come on ladies, please don't get sucked in by a few sweet words.

9. He looks too good to be true.

You know what they say about if it's too good to be true it usually is. Yeah, sorry to break it to you, but if he looks like Zach Efron with a 12-pack, most likely he is too good to be true. Let's all be real with ourselves here.

10. He doesn't want to send you a picture doing a specific thing or video chat.

I ask them right away to send me a picture holding up a peace sign (2 fingers) and I will send one to them. If he doesn't do it…come on you should know this by now…

He's a catfish.

If he doesn't want to video chat or meet…Let's say it all together now….He's a catfish.

So today my friends, these are my top 10 things to catch a catfish.

Most importantly listen to your intuition, or your gut feelings, they will never steer you wrong. 

And look, don't beat yourself up if you have gotten catfished, because you're not alone. You probably see the good in people and unfortunately, there is so much bad out there that we try to overlook it.

Be smart, keep your guard up, listen to your gut, and keep your eyes open to the catfish.
