"[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]On Thursday, the Atlantic published an in-depth piece on Emma Perrier, a London-based woman who was catfished — then ended up finding love with the man whose photos were used to scam her.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]The viral story made headlines earlier this year, but the Atlantic fleshed out the stranger-than-fiction tale in glorious detail. Here are some highlights.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Movie moping
In 2015, Perrier, then 33, was recovering from a terrible breakup that left her watching “The Notebook” on repeat — until she met a strapping young man named “Ronnie” on matchmaking app Zoosk.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Master baiter
Unfortunately, Ronnie never existed. He was a character dreamed up by Alan Stanley, a 53-year-old who decorates retail stores and regularly baited women into online relationships without ever meeting them in person.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Digital devotion
“Ronnie” and Perrier continued the relationship for six months, exchanging “I love yous” without ever meeting in person.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Model behavior
Perrier ended up using Reverse Image Search, an iPad app that searches the internet, to find the original source of Ronnie’s pics. Turns out those images belonged to one Adem Guzel, a male model from Turkey.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Second time’s the charm
In September 2016, she messaged Guzel, and they ended up FaceTiming and began their own long-distance relationship.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Three’s a crowd
Even after Stanley ’fessed up to his scheme, Perrier continued their online relationship — while also seeing Guzel. In November 2016, Perrier and Stanley decided to meet up in person in London, where Perrier took him out to dinner. Stanley “insinuated” that Perrier tried to stay the night at his hotel, which she denied. They even exchanged Christmas gifts that year.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]IRL, F2F
Perrier cut Stanley off in January 2017, when things between her and Guzel got serious. Two months later, Perrier invited Guzel to visit her in London.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Falling fast
When Guzel arrived in London in April, they kissed at the airport and fell in love. “Three minutes later, I felt like I [had known] her a long time,” Guzel told the Atlantic.[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]Liar in love
Stanley claims he’s found love on his own with “a European lady, younger than me, younger than Emma.”[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]A whole new world
Ironically, Guzel — also an actor — is auditioning for an “Aladdin” play, where he’d portray a street urchin who uses magic to pretend he’s a prince so he can snag a princess. (The Atlantic describes it as “the original, Arabian catfishing story.”)[/font]
[font=proxima-nova, sans-serif]It's funny how this roastie immediately fell in love with this chad after seeing his face but dumped the guy who's personality she loved, so to any catfishcels who think femoids actually love you and not the Chad pic you're using, I hope this is a wake up Call to you. FACE > ALL[/font]
