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.

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.

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 58 points 3 days 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, β€œI just cast a wiiiiide net and the ones that respond are down”

Beautiful and simple explanation. Just like he was, to clarify, above average beauty, and =< average smarts. Pretty good guy overall. I don’t recall he was a dick to rejection just moved along to the one that accepted.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days 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 didn’t have any problems.

If he was just saying hi…why did you respond to a comment about specifically unsolicited dick pics?

[–] CentipedeFarrier@piefed.social 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

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...

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.

Best response I've seen to unsolicited dick pics is responding with the previous unsolicited dick pick.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago
  1. Screenshot it in case they keep harassing you
  2. Report them for sexual harassment
  3. Block them (or ignore if the app you're using has that instead so they won't know you did anything)

That said, the unsolicited dick pics I've received have been more of a frustration because I stopped responding. In that scenario they want a reaction, any reaction.

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...

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

"check out my low hanging fruit πŸ†"

[–] espurr@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Wish someone sent me a d*ck pic...

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

a photo of two cute ducks happily eating birdseed next to a pool

Here you go bb. Two for one! ;)

This is the cute-ass duck couple that hangs out in a nearby apartment complex's pool when it's closed to humans every spring. I love them.

[–] espurr@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Aww always together forever!!

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

Right? They're so darn precious!! I love them!! I'm so happy that they came back again this year :)

Best I can do is a dik-dik

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A picture of Rick - Richard "Dick" Astley was unwanted? :o

[–] espurr@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

!!!!!! I didn't realise it was this deep

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Dick goes deep

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 days ago

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.

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

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

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days 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.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wait, wait wait!

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

Was it ever, in all history, ever solicited?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sometimes yes, some women ask for dick pics when actively sexting

Her vocabulary is intimidating.

[–] DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 7 points 3 days ago (6 children)

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