Why do men do this? Even when I was young and clueless I knew this would not work, and that also women talk to each other.

[โ€“] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The goal isn't what you assume it is. You're projecting your own goals and concerns onto those men.

My guess would be exhibitionism. They get sexual gratification from acting sexually towards women regardless of how those women feel about it. As for women talking to each other, that's less of a risk on dating apps, and even irl it has never been decent at preventing sexual offenders from having plenty of victims.

I asked my man slut roommate (no shame, all sluts rock, all kind people rock) a while back, how he gets all these girls with this behavior?

He said, โ€œI just cast a wiiiiide net and the ones that respond are downโ€

Beautiful and simple explanation. Just like he was, to clarify, above average beauty, and =< average smarts. Pretty good guy overall. I donโ€™t recall he was a dick to rejection just moved along to the one that accepted.

[โ€“] Soup@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But was he sending unsolicited dick pics or just saying hi? Because if it was the first one I got some news for you, and that news would be about him not being a good guy just because you didnโ€™t have any problems.

If he was just saying hiโ€ฆwhy did you respond to a comment about specifically unsolicited dick pics?

[โ€“] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

So often the real thing is other men don't know how objectifying and creepy their womanizing friends are, because they arenโ€™t the target. They don't see the behavior, often because they don't want to, so its easy to ignore.

[โ€“] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

This is where I just donโ€™t get it. Like, as a hevaily privileged dude, I just donโ€™t see how you can watch something like this and not go โ€œwow, that was wildly inappropriate.โ€

This makes me think of womanizing Boomhauer from King of the Hill. His "secret" is to just hit on basically every single woman he sees, lol...

I too wonder this sometimes. Than I realize a lot of men are clueless in general about the opposite sex.

I think the motivation of a lot of people like this is to just have meaningless sex. Someone is not flashing their dick to a future spouse. Not many stories I have heard where it goes "Once I saw that dick pic, I knew your father was the one."

this would not work

You assume the goal is to actually try to date or fuck. It's not. The goal is to intimidate and degrade, to make someone else uncomfortable. So viewed through that lens, it works.

Wait, wait wait!

You can't just drop the fact of working polymer heat dissipation and not go deeper

๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ I love a woman who can talk nerdy to me.

Then again Iโ€™m incapable of sending a dick pick and wouldn't if I could because I respect that brain mmmmmm brain.

Meanwhile I try to get to know someone on an app who messaged me first and all I get are two word replies... Dating apps are trash.

[โ€“] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

What a shame, when there's so many opportunities for an opening pun relating to "her bioreactor" or "engaging in heat dissipation"...

Talk about low hanging fruit...

Guide to picking up smart chicks:

~~- Show dick pics~~

  • Wrongly pronounce Saponification so she corrects you and you can ask more questions about her interests
[โ€“] MissJinx@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Was it ever, in all history, ever solicited?

[โ€“] ranzispa@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I know it is quite common to ask in gay dating apps. Many people in there have a full set of naked photos that they send out to others on request.

I'm not so sure about women.

Sometimes yes

[โ€“] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I have a friend who solicits deck pics in her dating apps. Unfortunately the only men I meet who meet my standards for dating her end up being either gay or super gay.

Presumably, like spam, one would guess that it works sufficiently often to make it worth the attempt? ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Spam is just corporate dick pics and should be just as illegal.

Your response should be "it appears you neglect application of saponification during hygiene". With a "๐Ÿคข" for added punctuation.

Her vocabulary is intimidating.

[โ€“] DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago (6 children)

The only thing intimidating was saponification, which was the point of dropping that word. Otherwise the rest was mundane.

I have seen this before, it is a repost from years ago.

I remember, because it was particullary irritating seeing a scientist harrassed.

[โ€“] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So judgy! Maybe the bro can't pronounce saponification because he's only seen it written down!

Why does she need a boyfriend if she has so much pleasure listening to the sound of her own voice?

Dick pics are cringe tho.

Your application has been rejected for insufficient intelligence.

[โ€“] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Its consciousness, not conscience. Conscience is specifically one's moral awareness.

Also its closer to 4 billion years.

That said, I understand her anger about stupid people. And people who slut shame can die in a fire.
