What, never been catfished before? Had plenty of women do this to me on apps. All their pictures show one person, then they show up as a person and a half. After the date I just tell them “thanks but no thanks, you catfished me.”

No I’ve never been catfished before. My “type” is queer/weird though, I would never blindly swipe right on the stereotypically attractive straight woman.
How has this happened multiple times?? Are you actually being catfished or are you just talking about people who look fatter than you’d like in person?

I don’t know what you’re trying to imply, that I “blindly” swipe on stereotypically attractive straight women (how would one blindly do that, I wonder), or that I am judgemental? It has happened to me 3 different times. Women using pictures of them before serious weight gain. all 3 cases it was over 100lbs difference between pictures and reality.
Also my type is queer/weird, as I am queer and weird.

WOW I did not expect this kind of response lol, I’m just saying that if I see a stereotypically attractive woman, I would read her profile to see if she’s my type because just by appearance she likely wouldn’t be.
So it is about weight gain and not actually straight up catfishing. I feel like there is a difference. I feel like if that happened to me I wouldn’t just leave right away, I’ve made many friendships from dates. If you’re so concerned about weight gain that you’d walk away you should consider straight up asking if the photos are recent.
