The "send me a pic" trick?

Its all too common anymore when flirting back and fourth with someone via text that one of them, usually the guy, asks for a pic. It starts out as innocent- of the face and it gradually escalates. What I'm wondering, is if there is a motive behind this that goes beyond dirty pictures. The first could be to see how far the girl is going to go and how easy she is and what you are going to get. If you get a nude right away then she's a hookup, and if you don't get beyond the innocent stuff, she is more relationship and you can take it or move on. Or, and this is what I've really been thinking, is its a way to size up the girl before you hook up with her. If you get a decent shot at what her body looks like before you ever hook up with her you can know what to expect and choose to hit it or quit it. **this question is not advocating or condemning sending pics or naked pics to people and I would prefer not to debate that specifically**

  • Ive asked for pics of girls.. Mainly cause I haven't seen them in a while like a year.. And people change..

    As for asking for nude pics.. Id never

    Asking for sexy pics.. Only if I really like the girl and we've dated a few times..

    Asking for just a picture.. Well

    1. If I was dating her.. I would like to see what kind of picture shed send.. If she dressed up id find it funny and sweet.

    2. If I'm not dating her.. And I liked her. Again it would be to see if she likes me.. If its just a simple picture she might not. If its funny or sexy.. She might

    3. If I didn't like her.. I wouldn't ask for them

  • I only ask girls to do that after we've been intimate, the nudie pics anyway. One randomly sent me naked pics of herself before we had even properly had a date...yeah I stopped talking to her after that, f*cking gross. There must be guys all over my city with pics of her in his phone.

    • What's sad is she's probably really used to having to send those out and getting asked for them.

    • Classy. I'm looking for the girls who say no to that.

  • I don't know why that happens but it does, and it's usually guys asking for the pics first. I never know when it's going to lead to something more when they ask for a contacts list picture

    • Right, I can usually tell immediately that its going to lead to them wanting more. If I want a relationship its like, hell no, I won't put up with that. But just a hook up - you're still not walking away with a nude of me.

    • Totally agree! Makes em look desperate!

    • I got no problem flirting, and the furthest Id go is bathing suit, but you've got your bits all covered, and I don't care who sees me in my bathing suit. You're not getting a pic that you can forward to all of your friends hahaha.

    One may want a full body pic just to make sure the person isn't disgusting in anyway. Pics of just the face can hide nasty suprizes.

  • Well, guys are more naturally visibly inclined.

  • As you said 1 dirty pic cuts to the chase, says many words, nice words

  • The guys I know that do that, do it because they are just horny guys...lol

    • agreed

    • Its definitely usually a hookup thing.

  • No. We're guys. He'll just want a pic because he finds you hot.

  • I'm so not the type of person who would ask someone to send a pic. If I want to know what she looks like in the flesh, I'll just suggest an actual date. If she's not interested in real, I'm not interested in her.

    There's plenty of p*rn out there for jerkin.

    • Im also thinking it terms of hookups, so no dates.

    • Oh, well then I really don't belong in this question.

  • I do this and honestly, it is to see how far they go. I personally like a challenge. If you just give it up, I pass. However just because someone sends one doesn't mean they're easy. A woman willing to please is also a very sexy thing. Every guy has a motive. It is what it is. That's my reasoning, I can only speak for myself.

  • if a guy come,s right out and as you for a pic of you naked of you right off the bat he got to be a pervert or some thing most guy I know don,t do that they may what just a pic of you to see what you look like but if they are just what naked pic of you be for they even get to know how you real are there is some thing to look out for I have never ask for a naked pic of a girl in my life it not only a bad idea you may just turn them off to you
