As gross as it is, the people sending dick pics aren't looking for your approval, it's a numbers game. If you're confident enough to hang that dong, someone is gonna be interested. Like I said it's gross but they don't do it because it doesn't work, you catch a fish with enough throws
If they did that irl they would most likely get arrested in most countries so it's kinda fucked up that they think it's still fine to do online
There was a guy in my fraternity who did this. Every time there was a party of some kind he would swing by all the girls and introduce himself. "Hi, I'm Curry, wanna fuck?" (Curry was his nickname). He always went home with someone.
As long as he was accepting the no's gracefully, and wasn't an asshole to any of them... Then yeah, that's a pretty honest way to play the numbers game and find someone who is also dtf.
And this was at a frat party... not work or church... so appropriate time and place as well
Did he ever settle down?
He always took the no's gracefully (sometimes many dozens a night). I have no idea if he settled down. We lost contact after graduation. It's been 20 years, so I hope he did!
No he did not. It's me, Curry. Wanna fuck?
I mean did he show everyone his dick without asking if they wanted to see it though? That's what I meant by likely getting arrested if doing it irl, comparing it to sending dick pics.
But ye I guess at fraternity parties it's a different vibe.
I've met guys who did this, and I was a fan of the approach. It avoids misunderstandings.
We know why they do it. That doesn't make it any less inappropriate. These guys don't care who they make uncomfortable in their quest for validation. It's like a kid that throws a fit to gain attention, uncaring about who they might hurt in the process. Except unlike a developing child, these men should be mature enough to know better.
So why would they get mad of someone doesn't react? The people asking me to help them get their 50 trillion dollar inheritance out of the country don't seem to mind when I don't reply.
Does it ever work at all? even 1 in a million times seems too many to me.
I've only known of that working in Grindr or sites like that where thirsty population is high, and where most people are seeking for that. But in normal social media I wouldn't expect to ever work, at all.
It is. But the reality of those sites is that for a guy the vast majority of your messages will never be read. You are shouting at the void and hoping for the best. This does not incentivize taking the time and psychological investment to write thoughtful messages, because you will send comparatively few and the lack of response is harder to deal with when you're more invested. It incentivizes sending the quickest messages that you care about the least to as many as possible. The guy didn't send her a dick pic, he sent every woman in a 50 mile radius the same dick pic hoping that with enough sheer volume he'll get a response.
It's basically spam that wants to fuck you, because non-spam options don't get you anywhere.
