Oh, this dating world. It seems like every day we come across a new term to describe the toxic behavior of dating app users. And the latest is currently catfishing: a word for those who present themselves in a slightly too good light. We asked what catfishing looks like in practice and how you can immediately recognize it.
Dating apps are at first glance very alluring: offer users the opportunity to pre-meet they inquire, whether the person they chose has similar ones values, wishes, life style... like them. Also somewhat facilitate the approach to the one who aroused their interest: for they do not need to take any risks rejection in public. With the help of apps, it's also easier on your own getting to know each other: namely, many people rarely encounter at work and in the circle of friends new faces.
However, dating apps also have a bit to offer the downside. And one of the dangers you may encounter is the so-called catfishing or the situation in which your chosen one it's not exactly like that, for whatever you like presented.

Dating apps offer users hands free as to what they will write in theirs description, which ones photographs they will post and what they will be about themselves trusted potential partners. And this is where the danger lies: many people use this as an opportunity to introduce themselves to the lights are a bit too bright.
Expression catfishing describes cases where these corrections are somewhat smaller: with him we are not talking about a person pretending to be single, when this would not be true or created completely a new identity. She will change hers instead height, published unrealistic photos, mine life and a job presented better than reality…

Since catfishing is about minor fixes, it is more difficult to identify, like someone pretending to be a completely different person. Yet there is something warning signs and the first one is yours intuition. The more in touch you are with your senses, the faster you will be felt, that something is not quite right - and we advise you that this feeling you listen.
Another warning sign is that the person states a lot of detail about yourself: of course, this does not apply to all cases, but sometimes you have to ask yourself why you feel the need, to share so much personal information with strangers - very often it is a search confirmations.
We also advise you to move the conversation to others before the meeting social networks. Yes, a person can present themselves in too good a light there, but you will still get it that way slightly better feeling about who he really is.
Yes, dates can be full loops and to fall. However, we assure you that there is no way that you have ever come across them does not mean, yes there of love would not be able to find. It's always good to stay careful, but it does romances- whether it originates from applications or cognition in real life - none the less don't avoid.
