So after just watching an episode of Catfish it makes me think if I could be “caught” in that way?

How do you protect yourself from potential catfish on here?

Ask for a video call?

Verifications and photos can be fake verified.

So what do you do?

We make a judgement on whether the verifications are real or fake, most are easy to tell. We'll arrange to meet at a club, if they don't turn up we're having a good night anyway

I've been here 7 years and never had a no show or been catfished.

In fact I've never even chatted to a fake profile.

I find them really easy to spot so they aren't even an inconvenience.

I've never needed a video chat either and I don't use verifications to decide if someone is genuine.

What are the signs to spot?

The problem with saying what they are is that people then change their behaviour to get around that which is why I never give advice on profile review threads.

I much prefer to see the real them rather than a boxticking exercise.

Penis has more sense than the head that carries the brain in most cases.

That would be a timeaster.. if they turn up and arent who they were in the pic that is a catfish

Suppose the only way to not be catfished is to facetime with them and always go with ur gut instincts

Everyone is a Catfish in some way, just different degrees.

Depends on why for me.

I've happily chatted to a man pretending to be a woman for months because s/he was cool.

It's immediately obvious to many women when men do that. Can't explain why.

Who the hell doesn’t show or display flattering photos though? I don’t mean year old photos, I mean you don’t show an unflattering photo.

Also, expectations!

I’ve been told many times I look taller in my photos. ‘How tall do you think 5’8 is? It’s 5’8 no matter what angle I take that photo at. !! Ffs.

Photos can be really deceptive. Clever angles. Filters.

I am open about my “bag”. If that doesn’t suit others then so be it because any “deception” will be soon found out if and when you meet

I would say no. Your profile says you’re 5’1.

I would say catfishing is if said you were taller or smaller than your actual size in this instance

If you're operating here, you need to develop and refine your own processes for filtering out the unsuitable. You will attract people differently from others, so what you do and how you present, will differ from the rest of us. Some things are common sense, yet enough people still fall for Nigerian Prince scams to make them worthwhile.

I am same if someone can’t be bothered this day and age to do a few min vid call I just view it we are incompatible on how safety / meets with strangers are working

Each to their own and I am certainly not going to worry about not meeting a stranger by any means.

There is so many ways to hide your number for a cam chat or even use a dead cam room here

People have to work how they work. Only time I won’t bother with s vid chat is if I am going to a club / party so I couldn’t really careless then if they no show or are not what they said.

Isn’t it really just a case of not letting your genitalia rule your head, and going through your own checklist… and if someone doesn’t meet them for any reason then don’t let them compromise

It’s very much a learning process.. no two people are going to be the same

My checklist works for me…. Could I probably have met more people if I loosened them.. sure

But I can count the number of times I have been catfished in the many years I have doing this on one hand

It's hard we have been catfished on a couple of occasions now.

It's both frustrating and an absolute waste of precious time!

I hate video calls but will if I have a feeling they aren't being entirely truthful but always a social 1st.

We rarely meet off fab anyway I prefer to meet at the organised socials there's zero chance of being catfished there, face to face is so much easier.

"Have a video call with someone before you meet to avoid being catfished. If they refuse then they got something to hide or they not the person they said they were

I've nothing to hide but I won't do video calls as I don't like them it's as simple as that. And anyone who would be pushing constantly for one I'd find pushy and wouldn't meet.

Exactly this, I wouldn’t meet anyone who demands anything."

Obviously would video call for Wilts but generally I would find it pretty awkward, I don't really like video calls and I wouldn't dress femme for a short call so won't look like my pics anyway. But if I wanted to meet them and it made them feel safer then sure. I would rather meet in a public place though to see if we vibe, a lot of rapport gets lost in a call.

"If she looks suspiciously like Katy Perry then it’s probably too good to be true.

Oh I don’t know. I’ve been surprised at how gorgeous someone is, and they turn out to be true.

Not all stunningly gorgeous women turn out to be a Dave.

It was a reference to an episode of catfish where someone believed they were meeting Katy Perry "

He still believed that when they showed him the real woman too, some are totally deluded so it's no wonder they belive all they're told.

"So after just watching an episode of Catfish it makes me think if I could be “caught” in that way?

How do you protect yourself from potential catfish on here?

Ask for a video call?

Verifications and photos can be fake verified.

So what do you do?"

Combination of gut feeling and If something seems to good to be true it usually is

I just hope the offer of an orgy with the Swedish womens beach volleyball team that I turned down wasn't genuine

"Park bench looking through a hole in a newspaper. It’s the only way to be sure
