Reverse Catfish is an internet slang term used to describe a situation where someone intentionally portrays themselves as less attractive, interesting, or successful online than they actually are in real life. It’s the opposite of traditional catfishing, where someone creates a false identity to appear more attractive or deceive others.
Examples:
1. John decided to reverse catfish on his dating profile by uploading unflattering pictures and describing himself as lazy and boring. He did this because he wanted to find someone who would like him for who he truly was, rather than being attracted to his looks or achievements.
2. Mary reverse catfished on social media by purposely downplaying her stunning appearance and showing off only her average selfies. She did this to avoid receiving unwanted attention or being judged based solely on her looks, instead hoping to establish genuine connections with people who appreciated her for her personality and interests.
So, reverse catfishing involves intentionally presenting oneself in a less appealing manner online to find genuine connections without superficial judgments.
