When I hear about the number of random dick pics women get on dating apps the picture I get in my head of how the senders must think things work is a woman going down a supermarket isle entirely stocked with disembodied penises, she occasionally stops, looks at the shelves very seriously going "Hmmmmm...", maybe picks one up and examines it closely before either putting it back or tossing it into the cart already half full with dicks like a bunch of rubbery cucumbers.

A character on Ramy, a comedy that would make your average Freeper shriek about Hulu trying to turn us all into muslims had a funny take on it: The dick pic is a way to manage expectations and acclimate like a picture on a menu. You don't just spring a dick on someone in person! You give them a lower stakes chance to opt out. It's all about consent. As for me all my dick pics have been solicited as by the soliciter general themselves.

I am not a women of any sort but i always assumed alot women are more for the whole person than just body stuff. if women like guys want to get off, they will get off and probably be open about it. if they want a dick pick, they will ask.

This might be a personal problem and I've not tried online dating in five or six years, but you know what always seemed to sink me? One liners. I would always type out a small paragraph, trying to spark conversation about a common interest. Like I mentioned, my profile and pictures had been proofed by a few friends, so I don't think I was committing any faux pas in that department. But I never, ever just did the one sentence, "Hey, what's up? or cheesy pick up line stuff. All my friends who did had luck. I think I sounded like a grandpa, trying to type out sentences and poo poo. Now that I'm approaching the latter part of my thirties, I bet things would be different. But having become recently physically disabled (motor neuron disease, but it's not progressing due to a new treatment), I have zero loving desire to try and spark up Tinder.

Thank God you're getting the shot! I have monthly IVIG treatments, which is technically considered a chemo treatment. But the nurses and doc call it chemo light, because while it makes me sick it's nowhere near actual cancer chemo levels. But I'm technically not immune suppressed. I receive immune suppressive treatments and I'm at risk of severe neuromuscular complications from Covid. But I don't tic the "immune suppressed" box, so I get the shot when other thirty-six year olds do. Meaning I'll be lucky to have it by July. Spending a literal year in lockdown is getting loving old!

Terrible Opinions posted:I guess I just figured it'd still filter out most of the mostly cishet dude impulse to share their dick. lmbo if you think gay guys don't open up a conversation with a dick pic. Grindr even has a profile field where you can say if you're ok with getting NSFW pics or not. I actually do like getting unsolicited dick pics though because I like dick and I like looking at dick, but I'm not a woman either. Although with gay dudes I think it really is about seduction and not about shock, if someone sends you their dick straight up at least there's not any mystery about why they're talking to you E: should probably clarify that I don't do that because I recognize it makes other people uncomfortable even if it doesn't make me uncomfortable, and I think people shouldn't do that for that reason.

My cis gay husband and my cis gay self have had this conversation before where we’re like “ya gimme all the dick pics” but fully understand why that wouldn’t be true for others and obviously leading with it is a tad tacky. I’m guessing attitudes towards ‘em are pretty different among gay men versus straight women, on average.

A big thing about gay dating culture vs straight is that a gay guy on grindr doesn't have to scope out each match to think "hmm, will he murder me?*" There's plenty of women who are horny and dtf but the hook up culture is different bc, well, patriarchy. *to which some killers have used to their advantage, but women getting killed by dates is just so mundane it isn't even shocking. And like beyond murder and poo poo there's a lot more mundane red flags to look out for as a straight woman vs as a dude Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Feb 16, 2021 |

I guess that doesn't stop dick pics though if he can send them immediately after getting a message from a woman, although I would expect that would be much rarer?

Texas weather thread. Around the North Pole, winter’s ultra-cold air is usually kept bottled up 15 to 30 miles high. That’s the polar vortex, which spins like a whirling top at the top of the planet. But occasionally something slams against the top, sending the cold air escaping from its Arctic home and heading south. It’s been happening more often, and scientists are still not completely sure why, but they suggest it’s a mix of natural random weather and human-caused climate change. quote:To: Oldeconomybuyer quote:To: Oldeconomybuyer quote:To: a fool in paradise quote:To: Oldeconomybuyer quote:To: Oldeconomybuyer quote:To: Oldeconomybuyer
