Catfishing: The Truth About Deception Online
The dating scene has been changing over the last decade. According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, approximately 6% of Internet users who are in a marriage or other committed relationship met online, compared to 3% who reported this in 2005.
Again, one night with nothing else left to do, I opened the Grindr app, and there it was a message. I always respond. I guess it comes second nature to answer back if someone says hi or hello.
Since Grindr is a location-based app, I was hoping to meet someone nearby unless you have a premium account. Instead, I found out my catfisher is from Austria based in London, which he told me.
What are your thoughts on being catfished?
