But between him dead or being alive and continuing his ridiculous behaviour, I would pick the former. His behavior is of course inappropriate. Therapy? It doesn't do magic, but it might help. At 30 he is still young, and problems like his are not too uncommon. He might overcome them when he is older, more mature. Death should be out of the question, even if his behavior is deceptive although not dangerous. We should not wish death to those who are a burden to society but have a chance to improve.

And he is contemplating suicide! With all the time he spends "catfishing", he could make himself attractive at 30 so that he has no problems finding sex the real way. Cybersex might be a better alternative for him as most of the time, the handsome hunks turn out to be hyper bitchy sistahs who only look good in photos. Haha...

But thanks for the insight It is not how you look, it is how he look ,and he chickened out that you may find him not the same person he showed you in the picture. Which explains why he didn't want to pick you up personally and wanted to give you a "surprise" but decided not to proceed. You are lucky, the person could be an ugly old bitch nobody wants and he also didn't you want to find out which unit he stays. He is a ghost in disguise.

Guest enlightening Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Can be a thousand reasons. Some people just like to play games with others. 1) It might that you annoyed him some other time or didn't meet up on a previous chat and he just took revenge. Some people can be very narrow minded... 2) He is very closeted , knows he is gay but totally not out. he dared to meet you up, but then got cold feet. It is easy to be at an app like grindr, you can hide behind your profile... 3) It was obvious that you would reject him when you meet because he was not honest and the pics fake. when he saw you he realised, this is going to happen 4) There are guys who start hating everyone else and start being jealous about other lifes and to release their hate, they will resort inconveniencing other people... I think the first two are most obvious, because of the background that he asked you if you are on the way and on public transport. there are many people on grindr who tend to delete their profile and create a new one every 2nd day. The best is to keep a screenshot of the pictures exchanged. You will laugh, mostly they will re-use the same "fake" pics again. If the other doesn't tell me the unit number from the start, then I don't even make a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" There seems to be some satisfactory for him to dupe someone and getting their cock pic to jerk off at. otherwise, he should have gone to cyber sex / chat room , or just straight up watch porn ... plenty cocks there, and it moves In summary, I don't see any valid reason he had given to justify his catfishing activities. if he wants to change his life, then he needs to start doing something new and can provide positive impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lao uncle Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 It's not so bad actually. There are plenty of lonely gays wanting to chat with others. But they lack coincidence. Using a proxy identity liberates them and they suddenly transforms from geeky Clark Kent to Superman. I won't be surprised that many catfishes are able to finally chat with each other. It's just like a masquerade party.

Try to stay nice at grindr. The risks of getting "cheated" are known to you now but no need to copy the bad attitude of others or that rude behaviour which is prevalent in Singapore.

I would take the risk, if it is a catfish, at least I ventured into a new area in Singapore (if not have been there)... and can always try a different food court. Once I was catfished at Hougang, travelled all the way, the original guy gave a wrong address, I got some dinner at the place and during dinner was contacted by another nice guy, who was alone at home... it turned out sex was not the most thrilling but the trip was not totally wasted... If he turned up at my place and looks are 150% different, then I would just tell him, sorry, I think it won't work out. Strangely, most of the guys ended up in my bed. LOL (most not all)...

Guest Renzy Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 On 1/3/2019 at 8:19 AM, GachiMuchi said: Confession: I Regularly Catfished On Grindr. Here’s Why A self-professed veteran catfish on Grindr shares his candid confession on why he catfishes regularly on Grindr! March 5, 2018 I wake up realising that the AC has been switched off. In my disorientated state, I frantically unlock my phone to find the source of my pleasure. “Grindr” shows up in a private folder on my phone, and I click on the app. The first thing I do without hesitation is to click the messages icon at the top. I click on it repeatedly, anxious to see if “Nick” has replied. When I see Nick’s profile at the top of my unread messages, I am relieved. My grin turns into a chuckle when I see he has indeed sent me nudes of himself, as he promised just hours before. He really does have a nice thick one, I note, and whip out my own to start masturbating to them. A quick shiver, and a low moan. I come. I instantly proceed to the bathroom to wash myself. The jerk off session was quick, and satisfying, and I now long for a snack. Perhaps a bite out of a karipap Mum usually makes for tea. Or maybe not. I had other things to do first, I reminded myself. Within a few minutes however, I chat up another guy. The cycle continues, and the catfishing starts anew. For the uninitiated, catfishing refers to the act of using someone else’s photos, usually for the purpose of pursuing deceptive online romances. Dear Straight People, I’m not sure when exactly I started catfishing. It may have been two or three years ago, maybe earlier. But what I am certain is that I am quite a pro at it. I know exactly how to get around having multiple profiles on Grindr using just one email address – instead of making multiple email IDs every time – and I know what things to put on your profile that will get you all sorts of messages and picture, in an instant. It’s a process that has taken years of experience (both good and bad) to perfect, and I’m quite proud of it. My Grindr profile – let’s call him Jack – is creatively designed and incorporated using random Asian models on the web. Asian men, from experience, are most likely to get me a response compared to other ethnicities. I then stock up on various shots of genitalia from another source to make picture-perfect “Jack”. The end product is magnificent; a 5’2”, versatile top, and one heck of a hunk. Jack is mine, and I love him. But I have to share him, or else it’s no fun. Source My smartphone in one hand, and a charging cable in another (catfishing can take hours, if I’m in the mood), and my adventures begin. I start by reaching out to whoever I want to talk to on Grindr. This ranges from hunks and fit, lean men, twinks, daddies, silver foxes, #masc4masc, and on several occasions, my next-door neighbours. Sometimes, I come across classmates and former friends of mine. Often, these were the same people I would fantasise about in high school or college. Having kept a minimal presence on social media for so long, it was nice to catch up with these friends and acquaintances I once knew. Nicer still was seeing them fully nude, no doubt, but it was just something else being able to talk to someone, and have a meaningful conversation, if you just looked, different. Make no mistake that catfishing is easy work. However, even with all my efforts, it took Nick several hours before he trusted “Jack” to share his nudes. Getting guys to send you nudes takes time, dedication, and precision. No one is going to talk to you, let alone trade dick pics, if you take hours to reply, and not bother to string more than a couple of syllables as your choice response. The size of Jack’s penis may have well accelerated the process, no doubt, but Nick would have never offered to trade nudes if Jack was not the hunk of a boy that I had designed him to be in the first place. Nick would have never sent the real me his pictures. And I’m not being fanatical – I had tried chatting Nick up through a different Grindr account, but once we started traded pictures, I never heard from him again. I was overweight, ugly, and with acne, and nobody, nobody wanted to “tap that”. But once I started catfishing, it was like I was finally desired. Conversations and fantasies were shared, all throughout the night, and nudes came in on demand. So quick they were, that I would sometimes challenge myself to get them under an hour, to see how efficient I was at my hobby. I experience nothing of the sort with my real pictures. Nobody wants to talk to me, and hardly anyone wants me. At age 30, you can only imagine the toll this would have on my mental health. I am single, alone, and haven’t had sex yet. Source My first go at online dating pales to my catfishing adventures today. I must have been 16 or 17 when I first downloaded a dating app. Dumbfounded at the simplicity behind the idea, I remember thinking online dating was too good to be true. Friends of mine credited solely these apps for having being able to find their significant others – in fact, two of my friends remained together for years after hitting it off on Tinder – so I figured the same would work out for me too. I sent my first message out to an account at random, and immediately thought he was the one. I mean, he seemed intellectual (he used perfect grammar in his bio), mature (he was politically aware), and above all, he was drop dead gorgeous! Plus, he was a well-built Asian man. The thrill I experienced at this point is indescribable beyond compare. Growing up in a country like Singapore, where LGBT rights remain largely unrecognised, I had initially found it difficult to connect the dots: gay people aren’t just those effeminate men with handbags, they’re just like ordinary people. So being exposed for the first time to such openness and diverseness among gay people, through Grindr, impressed me, and changed my view on the idea. Source When I was asked to send him a few pictures of myself, I hesitated. Being a little on the plus size did little to raise any self-esteem I had at that point. And I had a bad camera, so any pictures I sent him wouldn’t suffice. I told him I would take a few pictures later. He stopped replying back to me soon after that. The same thing happened with other guys I mustered up the courage to text. Even when I started using pictures of myself, I realised soon enough that I was simply not good enough for seemingly anyone on the app. “Fat. Not interested.” “Malay? Not my type, sorry.” “Not into u sorry.” And so began my first step into the real world. Rejection. Discrimination even within a discriminated group. I want to say that I persevered, and that I started working on building my body. Or that I started taking to the local gym, and found my boyfriend of 10 years there. But life sadly, isn’t that simple, and I started to catfish soon after. I would tell myself: “Nobody was going to talk to me anyway, so what wrong was it if I use someone else’s pictures? Anyway, it was not like I was going to meet up with them for teh tarik or a date, so it’s not that bad, right?” I wasn’t interested, at the time, in hook-ups or dates; I just wanted a hot guy to talk to. Source Dating apps like Tinder and Grindr do little to bring together communities and people with similar interests. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and nothing rings true to me than this. Beauty is the only thing in the eye of the beholder, and it matters not how kind you are, how much of a decent human being you are, or how much you do for society. It matters only, if you take pictures while shirtless, with your muscles bulging, and your pecs and abs on show for the world to see. It’s been a while since I catfished. I’m not saying I’m proud – and believe me when I say that I do not, and will not condone catfishing – of what I do, or what I used to do. Catfishing for me is seasonal; I don’t do it every day. I know many of you will be upset with me, not only for breaching people’s trust and taking advantage of a minority community in a country like mine. But I’m sorry. I know what I’m doing is wrong. Deep inside I am alone, sad, regularly go through bouts of depression, and contemplate suicide every other day. Like all of you, I am human, and I have needs, and I am sad at how my life has turned out. But that is my story. I hope things get better for me.

Guest fishing rod Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Don't understand what is the fun with catfishing. At the end of the road, the guy stands in front of you. Ok, about the weight, I think we all had phases where we put on weight. On others where we lost. Some guys like to change pics on their profiles every week. great. I only got catfished once by a guy in KL. But even if I wasted my time, nothing happened because I was disappointed. But it is very silly and I m not sure if successful. Probably, if you had put up a nice picture of you and on the first moment when meeting you seem a bit "Oh, is it the guy from the pic" but it still shows similarity with the guy, I would bet guys would still have fun on a 50 - 50 base. But if you put a cute boy pic and then the guy you meet is totally different (age, looks, weight height etc) probably then 99% would reject any action. Therefore: What is your gain in catfishing? But with some catfishers I have the sense, they actually don't expect to meet a guy or the guy willing to meet up. They just want to harm you, traveling to the place, spending money on a cab or something. It are just guys who have been rejected all the time and then they tend to punish others for fun. As the guys mostly come to my place, can always deny entry. ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncoin Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Reading the article, the only thing I see is the guy craves attention. Not in that reality star way, but just want someone to see him, that he is not invisible. Unfortunately, those hookup/dating apps tend to be visual, and if you do not fit a certain look, chances are, you will be swiped. Rather than focus on the attention others bring to him, perhaps he can seek a more productive outlet to channel his insecurities- i.e. getting into the gym. It is a pretty sad story really. While I think he means no harm, the only one he is really harming is his own self-esteem in the long run. Quote Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knight of Hanoi Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 " I sent my first message out to an account at random, and immediately thought he was the one. I mean, he seemed intellectual (he used perfect grammar in his bio), mature (he was politically aware), and above all, he was drop dead gorgeous! Plus, he was a well-built Asian man. The thrill I experienced at this point is indescribable beyond compare." " I was overweight, ugly, and with acne, and nobody, nobody wanted to “tap that”. " OK LOL. This is going to offend some people but hey, reality is harsh. Why did the writer not pursue someone like himself? Specifically " overweight, ugly, and with acne". If he has issues accepting folks from his own league, then how can he expect gorgeous hunks way above his league to accept him? He then proceeded to use his predicament as an excuse for catfishing. WTF lol. Maybe start dating people within your league? Or make active changes like getting a ripped bod or plastic surgery if you are so desperate for hunks. Classic case of 癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉. Toad lusting over swans flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clementi Boy Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 On 11/12/2018 at 12:30 AM, yoyo74 said: There is a lot of discreet people out here who dont want to show their real face or photo here. During meet up they will hide in a place hoping for some handsome or fit guy and when the other party see you not up to their expectation in terms of face or body than of cause they will disappear before you can really see them. Even if you told them that you are ugly or fat they might not believe it until they see the real product themselves. So in order to reduce lots of wastage of time, you will have no choice and be lesser discreet and show the real current photo before meet up. There is also a smaller chance even if you show your real current photo you might get played with disappearing act as there are lots of gay haters around waiting to sabo gay guys. Your disappointment and anger fuels their enjoyment. If such disappearing act really happen you just have to live with it, continue be cool without anger or sad and always expect such things to happen before really meet up. No point getting mad over past incident that wont affect your future. Spot on! Had been a victim twice of disappearing act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest2 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Im guilty to share this but i also doing it sometimes when the guy is already in the void deck or in front of our condo gate i didnt show up and blocked them immidietly only because when i saw them in person they are really really not attractive at all compared to their pictures, like really cannot and i dont know how to reject them so thats why. I feel guilty still whenever i do that i feel bad to the person who takes time to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanMature Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Don't do that. The least you can do is offer an apology, not back off like a coward. matrixtights 1 Quote Don't read and response to guests' post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricyclo Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 There's a few who would tempt u into meeting them. The worst I had was to travel from north to the west(mind u it wasnt just the west it was complicated getting there) and he told me to wait downstairs. Then he just ghosted me and then he blocked me lmfao I was fucking pissed off. Another one was saying he was some discreet fella and when I was reaching he blocked me gosh lol after that I just uninstalled and never looked back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feedersmiracle Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I actually don't have Instagram because I don't like looking at social media. Then how lol...

Word of advice to all - 1) Chat for a few days b4 even meeting , this will weed out impatient/ flakey minds and insincere person 2) Trade insta if you think he is using a fake pix. If he doesn't even have insta probably - can pass. Don't bother with the risk 3) Video "meet" first b4 even bother to meet physically For closet case or paranoids, just jerk-off don't bother to hookup with any human. That's the safest.
