Signs of an intelligent catfish?

Not all people who pretend to be others online are distant or use pictures that can be easily traced back.

This person used pictures of a real person that were not able to be traced back by Google images. Usually people say do this trick to weed out catfishes, but it just didn't work on this one. The only way I found out was that they came clean. They had told me they'd been doing it for 5 years, and that they were so surprised no one suspected anything. The character he portrayed was too bad to be a lie, the catfish showed true insecurities that females face. The guy who pretended to be this girl knew the female psyche so well it was like he was truly female, the faint motherly instinct, the emotional manipulation, he even scheduled exactly when he was to act like he was on his period. Either he was a gynecologist or he lived with women and examined a lot. He never really acted romantically and he said that his catfishing was a "joke that went too far" and that he was "consumed by his own creation."

I just want to know if any other Steam users had dealt with a very calculating and too-bad-to-be-a-lie catfishes?

Yeah, but most catfishes are sad lonely men who don't have gfs or know about how women act.

They might have had mothers or sisters they could copy.

who cares, let them catfish all they want, you aren't going to meet them or hook up with them anyway (hopefully you aren't that stupid) so who cared who's on the other end of the line. Most people lie about themselves online anyway you should expect by now to not know everything that is going on.

Again, who gives a fig. Just play your games, post on your forums, and live your life without worrying about someone elses life.

Oh I know, I just wanted to know if any others had similar experiences, with like Stage 3-4 catfishes, the ones that can manipulate even the most cynical of people.

If it starts rearranging sand and rocks inside the tank to spell out words, that's a sure sign.

Kinda late but it's either a delicious fish, or a person who fakes identities online to get either laughs, romance, or personal gain; money, gifts, etc.
