Pocahontas36 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Why is it when every you meet a guy, and you start texting back and forth they always want you to send pictures of yourself to them? I'm not talking nude pictures lol.... When you stop talking to them do they keep those pictures or delete them?
Pizzaman81 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 haha, what is this high school? This happens to you all the time? I would never ask for pics because I would assume I know who I am talking to!
lululucy Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 haha, what is this high school? This happens to you all the time? I would never ask for pics because I would assume I know who I am talking to! Yeah I have never had anyone ask me for a picture.. well, my boyfriend but he was supposedly kidding (yeah right) and looking for something a little naughtier. I have never encountered that.
Author Pocahontas36 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 Exactly what are we in high school? I guess I'm the only one that meets weirdos lol... It seems like every guy I've met this year has asked me several times, it's like did you forget what I looked like? Lol
soulm8 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Actually, I've encountered this too. It's insulting (and sometimes frustrating) isn't it?!
Author Pocahontas36 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 It is frustrating especially when they keep asking its like what are you doing putting an album together? Great quote thank you
Grinder88 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 WTH? yeah that's pretty weird I mean I'm pretty young (21) and I've never asked for a picture I've gotten a few (like what she is wearing tonight or a dress she just bought) I usually keep them for a bit but end up deleting them. But if a dudes asking for a picture he is a weirdo IMO he probably wants something more. Or he is showing you off to a buddy, I'll admit my friends and I have shown each other pictures of girls we are talking to, you can bet if you're not in a dedicated relationship and hes not all in those pictures are not just reaching his eyes (even if they aren't nude)
CocoaBrown Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 2 things....(1) Where are you meeting these men? The ONLY time I've been asked that is when I met them in a club. Chop it up as they were too intoxicated to remember who you are and/or they have so many numbers they are trying to add your pic to your number for quick recall. (2) Men are visual creatures. Maybe they just want to see pics of you? Maybe they want to see if you sharing pics will lead to you sending sexy pics?
soulm8 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Yep... it's pretty obvious what they want and an instant turn off/dealbreaker for me. One time I sent a 'normal' shot (like my avatar)... and the guy had no sense of humor. BOO. Cocoa, the few who've asked me were from POF (not much of a surprise)...
Grinder88 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 HEY!!! I'm on POF, but ill let it slide because I have had girls tell me what kind of weirdos there are on there, and I would like to apologize for all those guys ruining that site for you and me both. But yeah If you're meeting them at a club or bar that may be why they need a picture. I sadly have had that problem not being able to put a face to a number. But I would probably try to Facebook you before i ask you for a picture, if that was the reason
Author Pocahontas36 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 Cocoa the last guy a met hiking it was my first time at this particular spot, everyone was so friendly I even met this older woman that gave me her info so we could meet up there... Anyways he's 37 n he's asked for pics several times it's like I sent you a couple already, as far as the other men I've met some have been at bars, through friends, work mixers ect
make me believe Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I've never encountered this but if it's someone you met once and then began a texting 'relationship' with, they are probably texting several other girls and trying to keep you all straight! Or forgot what you look like. Or want to show your picture to their friends and either show off the hot girl they are texting, or get their friends opinion on your looks. My question is why are you spending so much time texting random guys & sending them pictures instead of going on dates with them? If they don't ask you out shortly after they begin texting you, I think you're wasting your time..
Author Pocahontas36 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Posted December 13, 2011 make me believe.... I don't spend time texting random guys, these are guys I have met and starting dating, our relationship doesn't consist of texting, we talk on the phone and go out on dates, which led to my questions why guys want pictures of you when they already know what you look like?
ditzchic Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Uhhhh. I get this too. I actually appreciate it when they ask. It helps me weed out the creepers faster.

I don't spend time texting random guys, these are guys I have met and starting dating, our relationship doesn't consist of texting, we talk on the phone and go out on dates, which led to my questions why guys want pictures of you when they already know what you look like? If you're talking about someone you've dated a number of times and you're semi-steady with, then the normal reason for this isn't creepy--yes, they forget what you look like and want to glance at your picture from time to time because it makes them feel good. It generally means they're starting to like you a lot and looking at your face reminds them of the feeling of being around you. I've been dating my girlfriend for ten months and frequently look at pictures of her--the folder where I keep them is often open at work. It's open right now as I write this at work and has been open for several days, although I probably haven't actually looked at any pictures since late last week. Having your girlfriend or boyfriend's face stuck in your head is romantic. It's only creepy if you barely know the guy and are afraid he's being unrealistic about your relationship.

Oh, that's super weird then! Are you sure they're not fishing for naked pics...?
jstobo Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I've asked girls to send me a picture on several occasions. I hate the generic avatar attached to their contact info. I like it when their picture pops up when they call or text me. I have no intention of the picture to gravitate towards sexy or nude ones. Do I show my friends the picture sometimes? Yes, of course. Who doesn't do that kind of thing. I can assure you though, I have not had a situation where a girl was texting me and I couldn't remember what they looked like. We're not all creeps. Geesh!
