Today, I had to explain to my friend that the hot girl he's been sending nudes to and cybering with for the past month is probably a bored, fat-as-fuck, balding male living in his mum's basement. The look on his face after I proved that "her" pictures were fake broke my heart. FML

Today, the "hot" guy I've been talking to for a few weeks sent me a picture. He was very overweight and not good looking at all. He then followed up with, "Now send me one of you so I can prove to all of my friends that you're real." FML

Today, I found out that my 'girlfriend', who I've been emailing with, was really my friend playing a prank on me. He asked me for naked pictures of myself and I sent them to him. FML

Legit

Today, I tried convincing my friend that his casual long-distance girlfriend, who won't meet him and never video/voice chats, is in all probability a guy catfishing him. He refuses to listen to me because her Facebook profile looks "legit". She only has one profile picture and her friends list is full of bots. FML

Today, after months of talking to this guy on Instagram and convinced this was a sure thing, he wanted proof I was real and not catfishing him. I sent him a picture of me holding a paper with his username. He replied, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were a big girl. I need a healthy girl who takes care of herself.” FML

Today, I was sitting with a friend who moved back into town, and he told me about how he hooked up with a girl at a bar last night. I asked him if she was hot, he responded "Yeah, I have a picture of her on my phone." It was a picture of my girlfriend. FML

Today, my friend told me she had a stalker who had been emailing her. I laughed, and told her it was probably some fat, ugly virgin sat behind his computer all day. I then continued to describe and mock the stalker, only to realise that I was basically describing myself. FML

Today, I was looking at my friend's dad's Facebook pictures because he recently posted a status update. I saw him at a bar with some ugly hooker that he was feeling up in almost every picture. After about 10 minutes of ridiculing and laughing at this ugly woman, I realize it's my mom in a wig. FML

Today, I finally exchanged pictures with the woman I've been seeing online for some time now. She replied, saying "Thats not funny. Some people actually look like that." I sent my real picture, and thought I actually looked pretty good in it. FML

Well you did the right thing to tell your friend. There's a lot of "catfish" out there.

Ah, the Internet. Where the men are men and the hot women are also men.

Lets just agree that all dating is stupid, and people only do it for sex. And companionship. And occasionally passionate love.

Many people say that, but they don't realize that A LOT of couples first met on the Internet. My sister got to meet her online boyfriend of 9 months and they're perfect for each other.

Good point, well made, old man. But I suspect those couples are still a statistical minority.

That's funny that you would say that because I met my boyfriend on POF and we've been together for 3 years,own a house together and have 2 dogs.Internet dating is slowly becoming a trend and it doesn't work for everybody,but that's your opinion,and maybe you should keep that opinion to yourself,js

I believe that's the friend's choice to decide, not ours. He just needs to be more careful and alert.

Assuming the friend and the "girl" he'd been cybering with were both adults, I'm not sure why they shouldn't have been doing that in the first place. Elaborate?
