I will never understand.
I’m gonna kick this off with an obvious one. The glorious ‘D*ck pic.’ I feel like I speak on behalf of 90% of women (and male victims of the unwanted dick pics) when I say we do NOT want to see your penis. The kind of person that thinks it’s a great idea to flash their member to various women in the hopes of getting laid is not the guy I see a future with personally. So why, WHY, do so many men feel the need to whip it out?
Well…
According to an article published by Metro, there are actual reasons why men do this. A psychologist explains that men are simply using the tool of technology to show what they’ve got to offer. It also helps cut to the chase that they’re after sex and not a relationship. I’m all for honesty in online dating, if anything I feel like there should be more, but please, explain that in a way that doesn’t involve full blown nudity? A professional dominatrix also interviewed in the article states that men send dick pics as a sense of sexual entitlement. They want sex and they want you to know it in other words. They may want me to know it, but I certainly don’t want to know it.
Dick pics aren’t exclusive to Tinder, they probably appear on every single dating app ever. I blame online, modern dating for this annoying trend. Traditional methods of finding dates would never involve flashing someone to in order to move things along. In fact, the person who is indecently exposing themselves would be arrested. It’s bizarre how many people accept dick pics as just a thing men ‘do’ when it’s actually a punishable crime outside of the internet.
What did men have to say about all this?
YourTango asked 9 men why they send dick pics to women and the reasons varied. One man claimed that for him, it was all about pride. Another said it was about getting compliments on their member. Man number 3 said that he hoped that sending a woman a dirty picture would encourage her to send one back. I feel as though this is true for many men. Whenever I received unwanted pictures on Tinder, the last thing I would contemplate doing would be to send one back. I find it so hard to believe that the technique works?! Does it?! We’ll never truly know.
