I got catfished once.  The woman used multiple photos, and we talked for months on the phone.  We chatted online on computers too.  Imagine my surprise when we first met, and she wasn't who she made herself out to be?  

Now people would be wise to have live video, or assume it's all a lie.  Back when I met the woman in my situation though, smart phones and webcams were not really a thing yet.  It's a lot easier to be sure these days!

When I was single and looking to marry and have children, I tried match.com.  What a joke that was.  The women just wanted to be wined and dined.  No one wanted a serious relationship.  Then I found eHarmony.  It matched me to some wonderful women, but they were all 39+ years old when I was 34.

My goal was to have children too, so being matched to older ladies was of no help to me.

Eventually, for the hell of it, I tried catholicmatch.com.  That's where I met my wife.  This September we will be married for ten years.  We met online through the site on August 4th, the next weekend we met, and by the end of August she had moved in with me.

We were married September 1st of the same year.  Yes, it was fast.  Neither of us had lied, we were who we said we were, and we wanted the same things in life.  Sometimes, you really do find what you're looking for, and you don't have to wait to bump heads in the produce department either.

P.S. I've never been on Tinder, but I've heard horror stories from it.  It didn't exist when I would have been using it anyway.  You telling guys you were bored made me crack up though, for I would have immediately swiped you away.  It's my job to entertain you?  Pfft.  ;-)

Oh that sucks. What a waste of time and effort! I'm glad it worked out for you in the end though.

As for swiping left on me, that info wasn't in my profile and it only came up if they asked. So you would have had to ghost me.
