Basically if your pretending to be somone (real or fake) your a catfish. Why do people catfish? People who font have a lot of friends may catfish or people who were boerd or people who were bullied or people who want love or people who are mean or people who are scammers ECT. Are catfishes cold-hearted? Not nesicarily. Some people try to find dirt or try to see if a bf or gf is cheating and they arnt nesicarily cold-hearted for example. Can i watch any stories of this? YES! Youtubers make stories and there is a show called Catfish mtv hosted by Nev and Kamie (earlier it was Max) and somtimes guest hosts like one time it was Machine Gun Kelly and other people. Catfish is actually exciting and ut can show you red flags by watching! Where can i watch catfish? Mtv and thier youtube channel definitly. Their youtube is MTVcatfish and also MTV . RED FLAGS TO LOOK FOR: not meeting up, not video calling, not calling, asking for money over and over, stuff not adding up, saying thier meeting up some where and then not showing up, ghosting, being sus ect ECT. Does this mean they are definitly a catfish? No.

Catfish

A male who attempts to seduce his friend's previous lovers. Will go out of his way in any means to peacock himself as a better person, just to snatch up any scraps that might be left. Typically will use social networking as their resource for targets. A genuine bottom-feeder.

Did he really just friend request your wedding date? What a Catfish!

I heard he told my ex that he would never treat her like I did... That Catfish sure loves his scraps.

Catfish

Catfish are a group of fish that appearance wise usually have cat-like whiskers. They are actually barbers (although some catfish species do not have these). Some species of catfish can grow up to 3 meters while others can only grow up to 3 centimeters. Like many other fish, catfish use sounds created by their swimbladder to communicate with other catfish.

We ate catfish for dinner today.
