Woman Deems Man 'Superficial' For Requesting Proof She Is Not A Catfish

Another week calls for more dating app drama. I mean, come on people - we're already well-aware that finding a relationship is never easy, especially on the apps. On a thread featured on the Best of Bumble Reddit, a man shared his exchange with a woman on Bumble, who claimed he was shallow for asking her to provide her Instagram in order to verify that she's real. Many Redditors came to his defense, arguing that it's better to know if you're attracted to the person before going on the date in order to ensure that no one's time gets wasted. What do you guys think? Scroll down for all the Reddit responses.

    Font - Do you have instagram? Trying to vet me? No I actually don't Haha just trying to make sure you're not a catfish I'm not but that's kind of a fucked up thing to say regardless of who it is and pretty superficial

    In my humble opinion, our dude was totally in the right here. I also believe that it's okay to ask for pics. Let's just admit that we're all superficial instead of acting like we're holier than thou.

    Font - All_in_your_mind · 1d Apparently she is blissfully unaware of how often men encounter catfish on dating apps.

    To be fair, I think women encounter just as many catfish. The world is full of people pretending to be something they're not, and that's especially prevalent on dating apps.

    Font - louhi21 · 1d As a woman who's turned up to a few dates where the guy has used very deceptive photos, I totally get this. Saves everyone time. If you've been honest on your profile you've nothing to worry about.

    Facial expression - Nerfixion · 1d · edited 20h So heres my line of thinking, she thinks you called her ugly. I think she thinks by catfish you mean ugly. "I just want to make you arent "a catfish" (ugly)".

    Smile - wrongaboutme · 1d I understand why people can be offended by the request, but she overreacts lol and yes that's what a catfish would say, or at least when she is not using recent pictures

    Human body - Is_Sex_a_Hobby69 · 13h Easiest way to tell if someone is a catfish. If they get defensive and/or refuse to take a recent selfie, they're a fake.

    Font - Supermarine814 · 17h Because she/he is actually a catfish. This is what catfish do when they get called out. They'll guilt trip you in the hope of making you plead for forgiveness etc..

    Font - ratatat315 · 1d Tbh I get asked for my Insta or my pics often on dating apps and it can be annoying. It tends to feel like they just want to double check that you're fuckable enough before they go out with you.

    Font - pizza_be_with_you It's funny because every time I've ever met a man who wanted me to send more pics or give my Insta, he hardly looked like his own pics. Guess they understand very well why to ask.

    Human body - Problematic_Chick · 1d As a girl, it's a bit strange when a guy asks for your Instagram if you just met recently.
