| 0:00.0 | Hey, Desirving listeners. I thought I would answer some of your emails. This first email is from an anonymous listener. |
| 0:05.8 | And I'll summarize their email. They're asking, why do people catfish people aside from trying to scam money out of them? |
| 0:16.8 | So, yeah, I've recently given this a lot of thought because I've been watching the reality TV show Sister Wives, and I have arrived at the, there are currently, I think, 19 seasons, and I started watching a few, I don't know, like six months ago or something. |
| 0:33.9 | And so I've been working my way through the seasons and I got to about season |
| 0:38.6 | nine or ten in this catfish situation, you know, one of the sister wives, it's a fundamentalist |
| 0:45.2 | Mormon family and one of the wives was being catfished. And they go into detail about the situation and it looks as though the catfisher was not after any kind of money. |
| 1:00.4 | It's usually the assumption, I think, that people make. |
| 1:02.6 | But, yeah, there are a lot of motivations that might seem strange. |
| 1:08.7 | One motivation is that I'll get out of the way, which is fairly easy to |

| 1:19.9 | that results in them actually enjoying harming others, and they also don't care about other people's feelings. So they'll use whatever |
| 1:31.3 | method they can. Sometimes they'll have a particular, I don't know if you'd call it like a fetish |
| 1:36.4 | or a pattern or a habit in terms of the way that they typically will harm others. But unfortunately, |
| 1:41.7 | those people exist and they, you know, in all likelihood, use catfishing as one of the ways |
| 1:48.4 | in which they harm people. |
| 1:49.8 | But that's pretty rare. |
| 1:51.0 | Those people are pretty rare. |
| 1:52.2 | But if you had someone who catfished, I don't know, 50 people, well, one psychopathic catfisher |
| 2:00.5 | could do a lot of damage in society, even if they were |
| 2:03.0 | rare, right? |
| 2:04.6 | Having said that, I would guess, and I haven't seen any research on this, but I would guess |
| 2:09.4 | that a psychopathic catfisher would definitely try to scam money out of the victim because they're known for how much of a mooch they are, |
