I think you would have to be a true sociopath who gets some enjoyment out of defrauding people. And I do think the one woman was spot on when she talked about the damage Prince Charming fantasies do. My best friend had a neighbor who was being catfished and absolutely would not listen to anybody who tried to tell her about it. Her husband died in an accident a few years ago and she is due a good settlement but has no money now. We all suspect he's going to get his hands on some of her settlement money. Her ability to suspend disbelief and think this successful good looking guy she met online was interested in her middle-aged overweight arthritic not particularly interesting self without even meeting in person was amazing. She even went shopping for a wedding dress even though his pending visits kept getting postponed and postponed.
