Redditors who've been Catfished - what's your story? People that have catfished someone - why?

I got catfished from a guy who was a total dick to me. He was supposed to be a tinder hookup. It was supposed to be a one night stand but he was texting in a domineering way that was NOT sexy. It was just plain rude and a total turn off. I called him out on it and he was like “oh, we can just get coffee or something and I’ll prove I’m not like that” (super later at night, I work at a bar). I told him I would give him a chance to prove he’s not a dick but my car died. He said that he’ll give me a jump. I tell him okay,but only if he wants to help me because I’m definitely not in the mood to hookup because it’s been an all around bad night, so don’t get his hopes up. So he drives over, jumps my car, and he’s a totally different guy than in the pics he sent me. I was like, what. The. Hell.

How is someone going to be a total jerk to you to the point you no longer want to sleep with him, but it’s not even him? I got my jump and got out of there, never text him again.
