Comments on: Gone Catfishing? http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/gone-catfishing/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: prisahdev http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/gone-catfishing/#comment-218 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 07:52:00 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=728#comment-218 This topic is really interesting especially with the rise of tinder. I know some friends who have met guys over tinder, and the thought of it being someone else is always there. Its easy to pretend you are someone else on the internet–and for cat fishing people who have done it before, it is probably really easy for them.

Upon reading this blog post, I reflected back to when I first used Tinder this past summer and how irresponsible the idea was to meet up with someone who you’d never met before from a free smartphone app. Granted, the guy I ended up meeting in person I had previously spent a few weeks talking to him over the app before deciding to go on a double date, but the whole idea was still very sketchy. Ironically, he turned out to be a Stanford phD student, and we have dated for the past few months, but the entire situation could’ve been completely different if I had swiped him left, or chosen to meet up in the wrong location. Was this fate or luck, I’m not sure, but I’m banking on this success not happening again from an app like Tinder…

A general, personal definition might be a “tease” or the act of teasing, but the Digital Trends article made me realize the various categories that broadens this term to be so much more. There’s so many different scenarios of catfishing, especially this one in particular, “an artist pretending to be a gay man to solicit dick pics on Grindr for an art project. ” Which reminds me of a friend who actually did utilize Grindr for an art/design project strictly to document a sexual encounter with a user he essentially “catfished”. It’s definitely an interesting term that embraces these online, social interactions. Also, CEC will be hosting Nev from Catfish for a speaking event here at school soon!

I have so many questions I always want to ask Catfishers… if you’re “dating” this person online why wouldn’t you at least Skype or FaceTime?! Especially after 2 YEARS?! My favorite are the fake picture profiles. As for the person who uses fake pictures from the internet, if you can see those photos honey, other people can too.
