[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Understand about the albums now.  But, are you saying that a man will not agree to a date unless you have tons of pictures?  I can understand 1 to 3 but the rest?  By desired outcome I meant did you end up in a great relationship?[/quote]

1-3 pics? In what world is that enough? Even as a woman that isn't enough for me. I expect more photos than that on OkCupid, where it gives you the space for more. And because as a woman [b]I know guys love using the "send me a pic" line via text[/b], I make sure to have ample photos so that I can easily refer them back to my profile. [b]I'll never go down the send me a pic rabbit hole [/b]because I know [b]what the end game is [/b]and it's not one I'm interested in playing.

And yes, I did end up in a great relationship at the time, which we ended amicably due to a career relocation for both of us - across the country for me, out of the country for him. I've recently re-joined and am using the same tactics as before and am actually genuinely surprised by the quality of men on OkCupid this time around. Seems like there are a lot more genuine men who take the time to write sincere messages. It's a pleasant surprise.[/quote]

I've been asked for pics by text but haven't sent them because I wondered about it. Can you help a newbie out and explain this? Is it a way for creepers and stalkers to get your digits and possibly figure out your last name? Is it online dating-speak for an invite to sexting? Something else? Thanks![/quote]
