Why do guys ask for a girls full pic when they meet online? do they just wanna analyze whtr we're hot enough or something?
Why do guys ask for a girl's full picture when they meet online?

Because you'd be surprised how many fat women have cute, pretty faces. And some, I don't know how, but some have "thin" faces, so it can be deceiving if not seeing her body in the picture and thinking she's not fat because she has a thin face and it's cute and then see her in person. In person she's like 200lbs. Just own it and show your body, the guy's gonna see you eventually and find out right? Plius there are a lot of guys who like big women too. So just be upfront and show your body, there will be some guy's who accept you as you are and find you attractive even if you're a bigger girl.

You would want to see a full picture of a CAR before buying it wouldn't you?
I want to see more then the steering wheel! I want to see the entire PACKAGE!
I'm the same way when I used POF and Match. com
A person that only posts face pics is "usually" hiding something.
Going out with someone if you asked them out face to face is based off of what you see.
Most fat girls might have a pretty face, but if a guy sees you at the mall and you are overweight, you probably don't get asked out.
I have gotten tricked on a online date and the guy was an absolute pig in his appearance, hygiene, and his behavior. The pic he used was from 10 years before!
Just like on GAG, I post more than just my face most the time

They want to see your body and make sure its to their liking.
Which is why I always post full body pics, I am not ashamed of my body. If someone does not like it its their problem, I have my options

Probably because people can be good at flattering angles. People hide hella pounds. If you're just chatting it shouldn't matter. If you're considering this person for a date, it can be relevant.

Well beyond the obvious answer of Catfishing, which to me is an insane reason because that isn't a valid way to check. Most men feel as if they have the right, this is an entitlement that comes from a repressed or undersexed individual. I would think that this, like all other life lessons, would cease after they started realizing that women tend to flee at that point. I think though that somehow they think the law of averages is eventually going to be in their favor. Unfortunately they have failed to surmise that Lady Luck is called so because she's a woman so chances are the results don't change.
Honestly though I have no clue nor will I ask anyone, in fact I don't offer either. In that approach I end up sexting about 3 of 7 days and can talk to plenty of the women I have met on the various apps lol. But yeah the non pressure approach works much better -
Because they want to see all of you.
These days pictures are filtered and altered to hell. How do we know if you are who you say you are. Likewise people have certain desires in their ideal womans figure.
Take that how you will, maybe they want to know if you are hot to them. But no one likes to be lied to, lured in with false advertisement.
Physical attraction is only part of a relationship, but no physical attraction means no long term relationship. It is what it is. -
Most guys are very visual. They wanna know what you look like fully. To get a better picture of if your there type physically.
Personally I dislike if someone has a group photo and does not have a description of who there are in the photo. Kind of a turn off to think your meeting one person. But then end up meeting someone else altogether.
Sadly many people also use fake or edited photos online. 589 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. I only ever ask for a girl's picture if I'm super, super interested in her or if I'm really, really looking for sex and she's already described her physical attributes that are right down my alley. Otherwise I will just let her show me when she's ready, if she's ready.

Because I know plenty of girls who take facial pictures at weird angles, and why? To hide that they’re overweight.
I actually met up with a girl from tinder years ago, and that’s precisely what she did.
You aren’t a bad person or even undateable if you’re overweight, but don’t try to hide it either. That’s not fair to either of us. Yes to checkout you're hot but also girls have got so good at selfies/filters/make up we gotta be sure the rest of you looks like what we think just from a face pic. The amount of girls on tinder with a supermodel looking main profile pic but when you check the other pics they look nothing like what was implied/assumed. That and catfish/fakes or guys pretending to be girls (wtf is with that? What's the point?)

Great question! Why wouldn't guys just video chat or make plans to meet in person? Why am I seeing comments about full body photo shoots and spoons on heads? lol

I think it's because a closeup of just the face can be misleading; some women have faces that are rounded. Sometimes a body pic (with her head cropped) can be a fake. So some guys want to see a more accurate picture to make sure it's fairly honest.
Because they make it appear like she's skinny then you meet her and she's 250 pounds. Even the girls who do show a full pic, usually it's an old pic when they weighed less. I've been on a lot of online dates and my rule of thumb is to add 50 pounds to what you see in the photos. Only a couple times have the photos been accurate.

They want to know what you look like and face pics alone can be deceptive thanks to filters
This is a sad syndrome of a horrible disease, called Gotnogameitis.
This comes from boys that have so little exposure to women that they jump the gun upon any contact and lose their minds a little bit, or a lot.Yes, to see if they like her physique. I sometimes asked guys for the same when I was still online dating. Why waste both our time meeting up just to find out that one finds the other phyiscally unattractive when we could have avoided that?

i think its more of a trust issue with all the guys who have girl profiles, i go a bit further myself and have her text me her voice you knw like a sound bite f what she sounds like. and if she takes longer than 30 seconds i block them and move on.

Girls are expert at picking photos which flatter them. If there is no body picture included it usually means they are fat. Seriously, why they do that is beyond me as it will be quite apparent when you finally meet.
343 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. They dont want to meet up with a whale. Simple
Regardless you should have full body pics if you are dating online, i would never go out with someone who didn't. Thats just odd-
What should they ask for a half picture? Of course they want to see what she looks like. What other reason could there be? I can't even think of one. They want to see if she is worth the time to spend talking.
It is very simple answer. I want to know how you look like Incase I bump into you I will recognise you and say hi. Also, I want to know who I am building feelings around. Pictures say a lot about a person

I'd say that your thoughts are on the right track.
Looks DO count for many (if not most) of us.
We will SEE you entirely anyway. So better don't give a 'surprise' - unfortunately, there are some who do.
(Same counts for EACH side, of course) - 741 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
Because women are very good at doctoring their photos especially when it comes to using angles and what not to hide their body if they are overweight. So that might be why they do this.
