Catfishing-Light
Photos so heavily edited that you don't look like yourself in person, without full identity deception.
Definition
Catfishing-light is the term that's emerged for using photos that are technically yours but are so old, filtered, or AI-altered that you don't actually look like that anymore. It's a major reason real-life dates feel disappointing — the in-person reality doesn't match the profile reality. The fix isn't to use bad photos; it's to use accurate-looking enhanced photos.
