Comedian Carter Hambley learned this the hard way when he shared a Photoshopped image of himself alongside Baby Yoda from “The Mandalorian” to his Tinder profile.

“Not my kid. Just a buddy I watch YouTube with,” he wrote in his bio, poking fun at the photo and the fact that this tiny green fictional creature could not possibly be his biological child.

A woman who messaged him to inquire about his “Yoda doll” took offense when he informed her it was not real.

“So you just … put a fake image on your profile? That’s literally the definition of catfishing. You’re a liar and a sneak and I’m reporting you. Not letting you fool anyone else with your little tricks,” she wrote.

Full story here.

I feel like this can’t be black and white. Have you seen the world, lady? It’s falling apart. Not only is it falling apart but it’s kind of frowned upon to do the types of fun things that you’d want to see photos of. 

This was a fun twist. This was honest in a nerdy way. This was creative. This told you something about this person! What do we do ladies? If this isn’t it, what is it that you want?  Would you prefer that we be honest? You want photos of me before and after quarantine? You want photos of me in sweatpants? You want a screenshot of the NBA2k lineup I’ve spent WEEKS perfecting? Do you want a screenshot of my bank statement or last month’s orders from grub hub? Whatever you want, I promise you it won’t be pretty. That’s the alternative. That’s the other option. It’s that or photoshop.

I should add, as far as photoshop goes- this is so not bad. Like, he’s photoshopping Baby Yoda into his picture, something you should know is fake, not a six pack of abs. Is being good at photoshop just a deal breaker now? It’s kind of ridiculous to think that way. You someone be good at something and immediately assume it will be used for evil? Like I’m that kind of guy who has a photo of me holding a big fish you’re not going “OH YOU’RE A TALENTED FISHERMEN WHAT’S KEEPING YOU FROM THROWING ME IN THE WATER TIED UP, BLINDFOLDED, AND TRYING TO HOOK ME LIKE A LARGEMOUTH BASS?” 

Times are tough, man. You gotta do what you gotta do to stick out in this dog-eat-dog world. Especially one that’s going to rely so much on digital interaction for the next who-knows-how long. Who’s going to make you laugh over bumble-chat- the guy who’s photoshopping Baby Yoda into his pics, or the guy who’s shirtless on a boat? I’ll spoil this for you: the first guy comes through every time, and the second guy doesn’t look like that anymore, and doesn’t own that boat. 

Congrats, eligible women of Tinder, you played yourself (and gave your boy here a chance).
