not sure if catfished is the correct term but something is fishy.

 

a handsome young man messaged me on okcupid, I liked the look of him and he seemed like a guy who was looking for something other than sex so I chatted with him and exchanged numbers. He has been texting me everyday for about a week now and has expressed interest in meeting me but has not made any concrete plans.

 

So I went back to his profile and found it was missing. He had hidden it, deleted it or blocked me.

 

Then I found another profile that was clearly him, with the same biographical information just worded differently and different pictures of him. The only difference I noticed was that it said he was 24, instead of 21. I believe that he is actually 21 because he told me he plays junior hockey, and you must be 21 or under. But who even knows whats real or fake about this guy! I am kind of understanding about why someone might lie about their age and it's not really that big of a deal. I'm 24 by the way.

 

But then it gets REALLY WEIRD. I found a third profile with pictures that I believe to be the same person, in what appears to be the same bedroom. This time is his head is shaved and he is much much thinner. In one picture he has a cross photoshopped onto his head. Every box on the profile just says dead or dying, except for the favorites section that has the exact same list of books that were on the other profiles.

 

it says he hasn't been online on either of these profiles for several months.

 

 

WTF is going on?

The obvious solution and the one suggested by all of my friends is to just block him and forget it. But I really want to get to the bottom of this!

 

maybe I'm also hoping he's real cause he seems so sweet but also lonely. He told me he's now living with his mother about an hour out of the city after living in nova scotia playing hockey and going to university and he's bored and isolated in the outer GTA.

 

Also all three of his profiles were only looking for "new friends" and he has not been flirtatious at all.

There's enough oddities about this situation to just pass and move on. (I assume u guys haven't met).

 

Honestly its not worth any time trying to figure out whats really going on. If he was honest and legit, none of this would be happening.

Sounds fishy enough to believe you are being Catfished. There are enough reasons to be concerned to walk away.

 

Don't waste your time on someone who is either A) not real, or B) playing games.

I kind of just want to ask him whats up with the other profiles especially the creepy one with the erie photoshopped pictures. I doubt he would give me a straight answer though.

Are you that bored? Need excitment in your life? Find a more prudent way of having fun than chasing weirdos on the net.

My girlfriend did this with a guy who almost scammed her. She ended up being scared for her life.

 

 

Not sure why you would want to do this.

Don't pursue this. I've been catfished and it was devastating. Had I known beforehand that things were fishy I wouldn't have followed through.

 

Block him. Get over it.

Block and report I would!

 

Although If you are curious you could always do what they do on catfish.

 

Go on google, type in google image search and drag his images into the box... Would be funny to see how many versions there are of "him" and where lol x

Why waste the time and energy? What do you gain? Just invest your time in finding someone more sane! lol. (though if it was me, I would troll this guy a bit just because i'm intrigued by the sheer weirdness)
