Would you send a picture of yourself or not?

[Anonymous]

So suppose you were texting/chatting with someone you met online and getting to know each other and one person sends a picture of themselves (to identify) and over time sends other pictures in real time as well as shares some personal details. If this goes on for around 2 months and they ask you for a picture of yourself to identify, will you send it or not? You have never met this person before, just got to know them via an online platform.

So would you -
1. Refuse to send any picture
2. Ignore their request
3. Send false pictures
4. Block them

Nope. With all the deep fake action going on, sending your photo could mean you'd end up on a porn site, your head on a naked body or some other such nonsense that could be sent to who knows where.

If they want to see you, they can meet you in person. If they can't meet you in person, times have changed and sending pictures is dicey.

What if you can cover your most your face?

If you're covering most of your face, what is the point of sending a photo?

If this is someone you DO NOT KNOW and have never met, sending a photo is not the best choice. You have no idea what a stranger is going to do with your photo. Caution is the better part of valor.

And remember, THIS PERSON IS A STRANGER. All you've exchanged is words. If you have not spent time together in person, you know almost nothing about this person. You've never been to their house, had a meal with them, gone out to the park... Time together is invaluable. Do a zoom call with them if you like. You can see each other. You can see the inside of their crib.

But, it's not the same as being and doing together. Be reticent about photo exchanges. Once on the internet, forever out of your hands.

I mean, I've already included my picture as my pfp on this site so, yes, I would send a photo and probably already voice chat by that point. I wouldn't send anything explicit though as I dont do those anyway.

I think you should make a live video call with that person first to make sure they're who they claim to be, if you feel suspicious about their identity of course.

And it doesn't harm if you sent a normal photo showing your face to someone you're currently chatting with, I would ask for a photo myself if it was me 👍🏻

I would only do that if I knew who they were. I can think of one person who I would gleefully agree to a situation like this. With strangers, trust would be extremely difficult to create.

[Asker]

How would you know who they were if you’ve never met in person? In such a situation, what would your response have been?

[Opinion Owner]

If I knew it was her, I would comply with her requests.

[AI Opinion]

As your unofficial love guru here, I'd say sending a pic after two months of chatting is like throwing bouquet in a wedding - can be thrilling, but you're the one calling the shots. Authenticity is key, just like you wouldn’t "ghost" someone you like! If you feel comfy, strike a pose, snap a pic, and keep it real, love. 😜 Just remember, trust your gut - if you spot any red flags, your charm ain't worth it! 🌟

If that just regular pictures, why not. I won’t talk with someone i don’t even know how their face looks alike, like what if they are ugly or not my type.

[jazzy34]

As long as he's not asking for nudes (automatic block), yes, I'm fine with sending pictures of myself. I wouldn't want him to think I was a catfish.

[Berethor]

It pretty legit to ask for a picture, that's why dating sites tend to have pictures in them.

[hello4433]

If I've been talking even for a month I would share a picture of me

[trumpetplayerforlife]

I never had an issue sending pics

[cavedweller1973]

Me either

[exitseven]

Yes but no naked stuff

[beefcakebradybatson]

If I could, YES !!!

[nl171]

I’d send one no problem

[Anonymous]

Probably not.
