Why do guys ask for selfies over text? Could this mean he likes me?

Question

I chose B, possibly, because I think it depends greatly on the context of the situation. Generally speaking though, asking for a selfie outside of a relationship likely means the guy is...
1.) Horny. Even if it's just a face shot, the sheer act of doing the selfie acts a further emotional connection in a sense. It ties the text to a face, and it also makes the guy feel as if swapping pictures, which I suppose is a few steps away from trading more explicit photos. It's also a personal connection, which is the very reason why a horny dude may message people on the internet instead of just diving into the plethora of porn out there. It's not just the physical connection that gets them off-- it's the personalized feel. Although sending a harmless selfie likely doesn't have the physical appeal of something explicit, it's not without personalized. If someone asks for a random selfie and doesn't really know you well, that's what I'd firstly assume. It lastly could be a hope to lead into something else.

2.) Wondering if you're a catfish or not, which is heavily dependent on context. If he met you in real life and is later texting that, I'd refer to number 1. This is more so applicable if y'all met over the internet and haven't really talked much.

3.) If y'all have talked for a long while, it may be just trying to advance the friendship to a next level. It's the same reason why you'd add someone on Facebook or ask for their number instead of just staying on G@G PM chat, or Whisper, or whatever. (Of course, people often think someone is advancing a friendship when they're really just horny lol)

---
The only time I can imagine it meaning something more romantic like the guy missing you is if you are the guy's girlfriend. Either that, or y'all are REALLY close friends. If it's a random dude though, yeah... he's probably just horny.

When guy asks u that's he means he is interested in u and totally into u

btbc92 · Answer

No. It means he wants to masturbate to them. A guy who likes you wants to get to know you. Once they do, then they would want to share those experiences with you with pictures, and they would start by sending pics of them being happy. If its body pics, its about sexual gratification.

It's sales. Put the product in their hands. Most men are very visual. I've come to find I'm more of a scent/feel guy but I understand the tribute and trophy of it all. I'm just here for the wine.

And yeah, most guys "like" most passably attractive women. If you're not sure if you're attractive because men don't beat a path to your door. You are. Most unattractive people know what's wrong about them. They're ugly not stupid.

Girl i know. Its weird.. they also send selfies of them i didn't even ask, but maybe its because they think id send something back but nah. I had this guy who asked for a photo more than three times and i kept saying no im not into those lol i didn't know what else to say.

spartan55 · Answer

It means he likes looking at you. The two are mutually exclusive though, which most girls cannot grasp.

RSav4013 · Answer

More than likely he's either: A. Trying to see if you're a catfish. B. Trying to see if he can get pics from you to eventually ask for nudes.

jesse1997 · Answer

Might be. Might also mean he's more interested in your body than your soul (sounded less creepy in my head). I think the second option is the most likely one

AuroraRoseat · Answer

No. It's something for them to masturbate to, in my opinion. Some might like you and want a picture to add to the text. You never know.
