So I had another video planned for today, but I've been watching the show Catfish…and

Past simple

For those of you who don't what Catfish is…it's basically this show on MTV where

they follow around people who've been in online relationships.

The term “getting catfished” refers to when you think you've been talking to someone…only

to find out you've been talking to some random person.

I thought it was a perfect opportunity for me to make this video:

So you want to learn how not to get catfished?

Welp, grab a wooden giraffe and a regulation size basketball and strap yourself in cause

One of the best ways you can avoid getting catfished is by knowing the warning signs.

Normally, some people would use what we refer to as “common sense”, but as we all know,

common sense is not that common these days.

So let's go ahead and identify some of these red flags.

If a person has less than 200 friends on Facebook, this is a good sign you may be getting catfished.

There are some people who don't even know 200 of their friends on Facebook.

Another clear warning sign is that if their Facebook account was created in 2013, heck,

Because really, who do you know that just got a Facebook account who's not over the

Other signs include, but are not limited to:

A low amount of photos; If they have no photos; If no one knows who they are; If they say

Indeed, refusal to talk on the phone is one of the many tell-tale signs that fine girl

that you've been talking to for the past four years…may in fact…be a 56-year-old

As we've seen in previous cases, just knowing the warning signs is not enough.

And there are four primary ways that you can protect yourself from getting catfished.

The first step is the easiest of all four:

If you've never been with someone who is very attractive in your lifetime, the odds

of this happening for the first time over the Internet are very low.

Another way to protect yourself from getting catfished is by Skyping with someone.

If you are still able to get catfished after Skyping with an individual, you deserve it.

And you can't buy back your dignity from your friends, especially because that fine

girl that they told you was going to be a man…turned out to be a man.

The third way that you can protect yourself is by meeting up with this person I-R-L.

You're going to have to do this eventually anyways.

So, why not do it before a year or six passes?

Meeting in person will at least confirm that you're talking to the right individual,

even if they may be 137 pounds more than what their profile picture suggests.

The final way you can protect yourself is by doing a simple Google image search.

In fact, this is all they do on the show MTV Catfish.

Simply drag and drop a photo and it will show you which MySpace profile these people have

I can guarantee that if you follow these steps, by recognizing the warning signs and protecting

yourself, you will not end up looking like a gosh darn fool in front of your family and

friends…at least because of an online relationship.

Remember, I'm Scooter Magruder and now you know how too.

The first rule in learning how not to flunk out of college is: go to class.

This is perhaps one of the hardest things to do in college.

Grab a wooden shaped giraffe object and a regulation-sized basketball.

Grab a wooden shaped giraffe object and a regulation size basketball and strap yourself

A wooden size, that doesn't make any sense.
