If you've ever indulged yourself in the phenomenon that is Catfish , the MTV show about people who pretend to be someone else for the sake of seducing or befriending innocent victims, you'll know that their motivations can range from the gamut. Sometimes the logic behind these predators' behaviors tends to be delusional at best. This was best exemplified in a recent episode, where host Max Joseph confronted one of the catfishers — and completely slam-dunked his warped rationale in the process. For some context: last week's episode was about a year-old woman named Ari, who had fallen in love with someone named Lanum, whom she thought was a year-old man from Texas. Little did she know, she was actually talking to a man named Marcus, a year-old pretending to be Lanum, and engaging in such behaviors as soliciting nude photos not only from her but from other young women as well. He tried to explain his behavior and continued, "I work nights, so I sleep during the day. It kills your social life, so I had to create something. When you think you're dating someone that you're in love with Since we've been making this show, every girl or guy that's ever been in Ari's place fears that they're talking to some midsomething-year-old man who's sad, sitting home in his crusty boxers, typing into the computer.

They figured that it was anyone but Marcus, even suggesting it was his mother. They had no faith. But as it turned out, Marcus was just a little shy, because he was totally the guy from the pictures! So what's the update on this seemingly happy ending for Daisy and Marcus? Marcus' shadiness was because he wasn't ready to leave his comfort zone. He wasn't comfortable talking on the phone with Daisy or with the gifts that she was sending him. Overall, Marcus was just uncomfortable.
