I can imagine that! I'm sorry it's so common there 😔

I've never sent a dick pic and I don't know if my anxiety/insecurity would allow me to send one even if it was requested.

I can't fathom just sending one to a stranger without being asked for it.

I've gotten some on Discord. Men don't send unsolicited dick pics to show off, they show them to harass. I only get them from people I'm not paying attention to. Like if someone messages me and I stop messaging back that's typically when I get them. You can't fathom doing it because you're (hopefully lol) not someone who would sexually harass people. They don't feel shame for doing it. To them, getting any sort of reaction to it is the goal. Telling them "you're disgusting" would be giving them attention and something they want.

PSA: When you get unsolicited dick pics, block and report. Don't respond. Don't reward their behavior. If you'd like to go on some crusade to tell their mother (I've seen some people do that lol) that's another topic, but never reply to them directly by saying anything.

It sounds like my experience is a little different from this woman's though, I typically get them after I stop answering. I haven't ever gotten one in the first message. But the "uh, hello??" part tracks with what I've seen. It's attention seeking behavior.

Me neither I did it once after she pretty much threatened to strangle me if I didn't. 🤣 And yes we still have contact to this day.

But I will never send one unsolicited, it's so fucking weird, it's the same as the flashers in the park, what 30 years ago, dumb fucks with no common sense or decency.

And it is so useless, I mean the woman that would like it I wouldn't like, and the woman I would like will hate it. So there is nothing to gain unless you have a really low bar.

Send them a random dick pic back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I can't understand the reasoning behind it. Do they think women like that? What's the success rate? Are women just scrolling when all of a sudden they see a dick pic and are like "wtf I'm so horny now".

Or they just think if they see tits it makes them horny so women MUST be the same way? If so I feel like it's been well established that isn't the case....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I've never sent one, because anxiety n stuff. But from talking to the few of my friends that do it works quite often on tinder. They basically treat tinder and and instant hookup app. The flow is basically swipe > wanna hook up here's what i got? > ok come over.

My friend says works 100% of the time on fat women and 15% of the time on the rest. Which is enough to always have a few girls to call over at any time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I'll go disinfect my screen now.

Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 minutes ago

Yeah its illegal here so he might get cooked one day.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

It's probably a mix of throwing shit at the fan, power dynamics, the thrill of the taboo and probably a little bit of a humiliation fetish. It's never about the receiver. It's an aggressive act.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

A picture is worth a thousand words

"Hi I am...I am looking for sex"

If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You'd look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)

But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.

So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.

They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.

If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.

It's no risk, high reward

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Or they just think if they see tits it makes them horny so women MUST be the same way?

This one. The problem is that by the time 90% of the hetro cis male population of one generation has figured this out, a new generation of teen hetro cis males are right behind them. A better sex education class would cover this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

the principle equivalent genital exchange.

they think if dick pic is send vag/boob pic will be the response

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Lol they're trying to transmute their dick pics to gold

That career bragging tho... Girl that's a red flag

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, this seems like an excuse to brag more than anything. Men are gross, but all the extra made me think that dick picks weren't the point of this post.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I met girls on tinder who told me how they always get dick picks, and i'm pretty sure most of them is to make them seem more interesting or for attention. I know that sounds like victim blaming, but i asked more than one girl how you send pictures on tinder and they just deleted me or made some things up on how you send pictures.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't agree. To me, it helps to emphasize the ridiculousness of coming in swinging with a dick pic instead of starting an actual human conversation and acknowledging that the person you're talking to deserves respect and has more going on than a hole for you to stick something in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That goes without saying. But to be clear, we don't know the dick pick timing. Also I think that regardless of the vulgarity and the obvious stupidity of sending your meat to a person who didn't ask for it, there is something positive to be found in any expression of desire towards oneself no matter how crude and idiotic.

I took a picture of a sparrow once. They’re called Spatz in German. In my local dialect, they’re called "Spotz" ʃpɔts in english it’s pronounced like "shpowts" - which is one of the words used for penis as well. Picture in German is Bild and in the local dialect it’s "büdl" ˈbʏdl in English pronounced like "boodle" (you have no pronunciation for ü).

So in my local dialect, a sparrow-pic is pronounced the same as a dick-pick. Spotzbüdl - ʃpɔtsˈbʏdl - spowthsboodle

Umm technically by ignoring them she is the opposite of a slut. Just saying.

Not that there's anything wrong with sluts. I'm very slutty myself.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Most women learn from a very young age that the real definition of slut is 1) you used to have sex with me and not longer do so you're a slut; 2) I want to have sex with you but you don't notice me therefore you're a slut; and 3) my boyfriend, husband, guy I like thinks you're hot so you're a slut. Doesn't have anything to do with what sex the "slut" may or may not be having. Many women were labelled sluts while they were still virgins.

[–] ExhibiCat 12 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Good point. It's just a slur. I take things too literally sometimes

This felt like hearing one of those hardcore grannies dropping a truth bomb on their spoilt grandchild in public, and all people in a 10m radius shut up and start thinking if it also applies to them.

Doesn't happen often, but Balkan grannies are like Speed Metal when they hit.
