Single woman uses "pretty friend's" pictures for her dating profile, then invites her altar ego as "girl support" for her next date

We understand that it's hard out there in the dating world, but this single lady was not thinking things through.

On one level, it's sad to think that someone would feel the need to use her so-called "pretty friend's" pictures and pass them off as her own when crafting her online dating profile. At the same time, however, the sympathy ends quickly when you think about the fact that this woman is using her friend's photos without permission while actively misleading folks online into thinking she is someone that she most certainly is not.

What's more, this lady then has the audacity to mislead a single guy on Bumble for weeks and then finally set up a first date, only to invite her best friend to join her for support. Yes, this is the same best friend whose pictures she has been using for her profile. What did this woman think would happen?

  • Date catfished me using photos of her best friend...then brought her best friend to the date for girl support...

    Don't catfish please. If you are going to do it. At least think it through. I got catfished by a girl who used pictures of her "pretty friend".

  • When I went to the date the girl asked if she could bring her friend. I said sure.
    via Baldjorn
  • I arrive and introduce myself to who I thought was my date, y'know the girl I've been talking to for a week on bumble, she gets confused and points over to the friend who waves at me.
    via Baldjorn
  • I was very confused. After a dizzying conversation I eventually asked if this is a prank.
    via Baldjorn
  • They started to get confused and annoyed. I pulled out bumble and showed the girl I thought I was on a date with and she. was shocked to see herself as the profile but with her friend's name.
    via Baldjorn
  • It wasn't until this girl was visibly p d off did it click in the catfisher's brain that this may have been a bad idea.
    via Baldjorn
  • They began to argue, catfisher acting like a victim, and the friend trying to make logical sense of it all.

  • Let this story serve as yet another indicator that some crazy people online really do not think about the consequences of their actions. It's possible that this woman invited her friend to join her, thinking that the guy she was catfishing would somehow be put at ease by being in the friend's presence. Never mind the fact that he was still being catfished!

    Naturally, things did not go according to plan for Single Lady, but hats off to the guy who was catfished. Not only did he sort of take it in stride (well, as calmly as one could in this situation), but he also had the chutzpah to ask the best friend out. Hey, that's who he thought he was chatting with all this time!

  • I just fiddled with the paper straw like a fidget spinner, staying mute. I eventually excused myself to the bathroom quietly and hung out there a little bit, taking my time, reading a couple articles, taking a pp cause why not.

  • I came back and the "pretty friend" was still there to apologize for her friend catfishing me.
    via Baldjorn
  • I asked if she was interested in having a date and she said I'm probably a great guy but she has a boyfriend.
    via Baldjorn
  • We went our ways and I went bought myself sushi as a reparations for this wacky event...Please don't catfish...it never ever works out!!!
    via Baldjorn
  • [deleted] That is but I love the friend for not putting up w it and apologizing

  • come2life_osrs what's the game plan to lure some one on a date with a fake photo? Like the gig is up immediately what's the follow up plan.

  • themayorgordon Jfc ppl are so psycho lol. Like did she think you just wouldn't bring it up...casually talk to both of them and never indicate which one you had been talking to...then actually realize you liked her better and then just talk to her more and forget about the other girl who you thought were meeting...and everything would just smoothly go from there??? My friend doesn't outright catfish ppl. But her photos were so edited, the guys she met would be visibly confused and then not intere

  • CycadelicSparkles I had a guy greatly exaggerate his height once. He said he was 5'10. My dad is 5'10 so when I met up with him I was scanning for a guy about my dad's height and walked right past the guy's 5'6/5'7 self. I've dated guys shorter than that so it would not have been a problem. It just made the situation unnecessarily awkward. So yeah, I agree. Be honest. Nobody is going to be impressed if they show up and you've clearly exaggerated or lied.

  • Asmodeus_Satanas A couple times I've showed up and their pictures were altered heavily (large weight discrepancy). But never a completely different person lol. That makes zero sense at all.

  • CommonSense07 Hopefully you didn't get called shallow for not being into the person doing the cat fishing. because "she didn't look like her pics". So lame that people do this kind of stuff. A relationship isn't going to work when it starts off with a lie.

  • Drewsifer1979 The girl who catfished you was not only stupid for doing that to you, but also to her friend given she is in a relationship? Did she not think that her boyfriend could have been told about it and what the repercussions could be? What a moron!
    via Baldjorn
  • Tortietude0 How stupid was your date that she thought she could get away with that

  • Beautiful-Chest7397 Id just ghost of they asked if they could bring a friend lol
