Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

Depends on frame etc but 15 lbs is not enough to make a significant difference to appearance in my opinion.

Perhaps more importantly: If you are looking for something long term, do you really want it to with someone who would care about 15 lbs?

This is not catfishing!! Try to dress up, make yourself feel good, and take one new pic... you’ll see how absolutely gorgeous you are, and you’ll feel good having one more recent photo too

If she’s not overweight, why in the world would she join a BBW dating app?

All depends if the 15 materially changes how someone looks

I'd say if this person is worried about it - they need to update the pics. To clear the headspace. To feel better .

I've had people show up different than their pic and it's a no go for me. IDK. I believe honesty is best.

What would this person want in a match?
