It's certainly an awkward fish, being a bottom feeder and all.

I see. I don't see people doing that other than in advertisements on Backpage or whatever.

Word is she sent nude pictures of me to other women, too. She had told me when we were dating that she had catfished in the past, but I figured she was over that. I didn't find out about all of this until after we had broken up. Why did she do it? Insecurity. She was a very insecure person who hated the way she looked, and because she was so weak, she allowed those thoughts to overcome her. She's also a terrible person, so there's that too.

Waste of time if you ask me, but some people have issues.
