This possibly could go for internet community in general, but more ridiculous with the dating aspect due to inevitable physical encounter.
When you post pictures of who/what you are not, then we meet up, how are you going to explain?
One of these catfish even had the nerve to fb status "Guys are such pigs."

When I meet you and you are 100+ Lbs heavier and look nothing like the person I was led to believe you are, how do you expect me to react?

What possibly is anyone gaining from pretending to be something they are not?

It's the only hope these men and women have of meeting you. If they didn't exaggerate their good features and down play their bad ones, you would not want to meet them.

Momentary mental pleasure I think.

Not worth it. The reaction of the person you've tricked is the perfect answer for your imbecility. Humiliation is inevitable, but some may enjoy that.

So what does it have to do with people being smart on dating sites?

Short term satisfaction I'd imagine. The thing is long term it becomes difficult to lie about who you are because everything comes to light eventually, which is why a relationship should (it's not always) be built around honesty. The only way to ever be truly happy is to be honest about who you are for good and bad, and find someone who is willing to accept you for who you are, which is easier said then done since a lot of people are taught to hate themselves and be their own worse critics.

Oh I facepalmed so hard on the guy who was like "I'm married"

 

Depressing, and yet not remotely surprising

I think that they have this fantasy about them thinking they will be able to convince you into being with them despite of what they look like, because they think in their stupid minds that once you fall for that picture you see, that then you won't leave them after seeing the "real" them.

 

Someone got catfished!

 

 

But on a more serious note, I've only ever met with one person IRL that I originally met online, and that was not in a romantic context.  I do however think dating sites are hilarious and a troll haven. I never had so much fun online than with friends than sitting back with a couple beers and going through random people's match.com accounts. It's hilarious. I mean, everyone lies in the hunt for their mate(s), but online just enables it to overdrive.

 

 

For example, here are some Common Online Dating Profiles:

 

Femlogic:

"I'm not superficial, but six pack or gtfo"

"I'm totally not a golddigger, but I like guys with a nice car and nice apartment"

"I'm not hypersensitive, but I'm hypersensitive"

"Surprise Children!"

 

Malelogic:

"I expect a woman built three grades lighter than me"

"I totally don't live in my mom's basement"

"I'm a brony and that's cool"

"Surprise Child Support/Visitations!"

"I will poorly attempt to veil the fact I am purely in it for sex"

"I'm a nice guy^TM"

 

Bothlogic:

"None of my gross errors are my fault"

"It's all cause of my ex"

"My religion/lack thereof TOTALLY compensates for my glaring defects of character"

"I'm not in a committed* relationship..." 

"My inability to be honest with myself equates to optimism"

Oh Bunz. Don't you know that the only way to find love is via multiplayer gaming?

Can't say I'm very serious about my online dating profile, but I specifically put that I would not date someone who considers their body type as BBW or a few extra pounds. How can I be more clear?
