To be “catfished” means someone has tricked you by creating a fake online identity. Catfishers typically use stolen photos, fabricated life stories, and false names to deceive their victims, usually to manipulate them into a fake relationship, steal their money, or troll them.

Catfished?...

Catfishing refers to roping in suckers with fake dating profiles, which became more common due to photo filters and photoshopping.

The term became popular with the 2010 documentary "Catfish" where a man develops an online friendship with who he believes to be an 18 year old girl from the Midwest who turns out to be a 40-year-old housewife. The woman's husband compares her behavior to that of a catfish being shipped with live cod to prevent the cod from becoming pale and lethargic. Such practice was described in 'Essays in Rebellion' (1913) and 'The Catfish' (1913) and MTV ran a show based on the movie from 2012 to 2025.

Not matching the picture on the internet ad. The picture apparently showed a slim pretty woman. The reality did not match. She already had a bad self image and probably thought some man would just be glad she is female.
