TokyoPewPewStupid people in denial. Two cases.
1. Dude has an online girlfriend in another town, which is either a one hour flight or two hour drive away.
He never met her, never video-called, never saw her photos, never spoke to her by voice. She says she needs money because college has been expensive. He sends her money. USD 150 (hundred and fifty) every month.
When they talk of meeting, she is never available. They have been dating for months.
2. Kid is 16, Asian.
Met a girl in a chatroom who claims to be a 20-year-old Eurasian. He shows her his photos. She compliments him. He never heard her voice, saw her photos, etc. She tells him she is a gamer. I talked to her; she is either mocking me, faking humility or plain ignorant (calling me knowledgeable when I explained about basic RPG mechanics like Attack, Speed, etc.). She also told me she doesn't know what an MMO is.
We tried to 1x1 roleplay together. It was decided that we do a virtual reality setting. Two hours in, she was confused when I questioned about her character.
I asked her if she understood what was discussed so far. No reply. Been ignoring me for three days now.
I told the kid, "She doesn't sound like a smart cookie." Because he told me before he needs his girlfriend to be smart, pretty and kind. Also told him to watch out because he doesn't even know if she is really a "she". Even if she were, they are at different stages of life, and they're seven hours away. She could be wanting to tap his shouta (underaged, young boy) ass then gtfo.
Kid gets defensive and said she talks to him differently. Implied that I wouldn't "get" him because I am happy with my boyfriend.
...
Fuck off, man. Why do some people want to be catfished? The cringeworthy part is that these people are in my social messenger contacts, and in a group with me. Can't ignore the bullshit because they PM me to update on said bullshit too, even though I told them not to bring it up.
...
Bonus rant:
There has been a teenager who lamented about how "perfect" my relationship with my boyfriend is, and after getting to know me, expressed how "perfect" I am. (Shudder.) He has set me as a benchmark for girlfriend material. In his words:
It was nice, until he weeps about how he'll die alone. On a regular basis. Despite being told he just needs to stop hanging out with girls from a chatroom full of roleplayers worse than one-liners, or chicks that just want to cyber.
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

I was thinking she has a difficulty to trust people, having attachments and all not being in her intentions, but she's loyal...has a sense of humor
Backstrory being the cliche lost parents or missing and raised by a gang of strangers, masters few techniques of "knifery" and close range combat

Where does a man find a beautiful, nerdy, free-spirited girl. LIKE REALLY.
