OK, but wouldn't a slut be more likely to respond?

Got any DOIs to share? I'd like to read about some bioreactors and polymer physics.

I can't understand the reasoning behind it. Do they think women like that? What's the success rate? Are women just scrolling when all of a sudden they see a dick pic and are like "wtf I'm so horny now".

Or they just think if they see tits it makes them horny so women MUST be the same way? If so I feel like it's been well established that isn't the case....

A picture is worth a thousand words

"Hi I am...I am looking for sex"

If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You'd look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)

But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.

So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.

They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.

If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.

It's no risk, high reward

the principle equivalent genital exchange.

they think if dick pic is send vag/boob pic will be the response

Lol they're trying to transmute their dick pics to gold

This one. The problem is that by the time 90% of the hetro cis male population of one generation has figured this out, a new generation of teen hetro cis males are right behind them. A better sex education class would cover this.

I've never sent one, because anxiety n stuff. But from talking to the few of my friends that do it works quite often on tinder. They basically treat tinder and and instant hookup app. The flow is basically swipe > wanna hook up here's what i got? > ok come over.

My friend says works 100% of the time on fat women and 15% of the time on the rest. Which is enough to always have a few girls to call over at any time.

There so much misogyny oozing out of your comment, I think I'll go disinfect my screen now.

Hope your friend gets convicted for sending unsolicited explicit content 👍

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Why don't you please tell us how you really feel?
The burn is so hot, it's gonna cost several thousand in ER fees.

You drastically overestimate the share of people's impulses that come from rational thinking, and fail to account for the fact that humans are rationalized beings, not rational beings. That means, people are emotionally first, and secondarily taught to act somewhat rational.
