    This felt like hearing one of those hardcore grannies dropping a truth bomb on their spoilt grandchild in public, and all people in a 10m radius shut up and start thinking if it also applies to them.

    Doesn’t happen often, but Balkan grannies are like Speed Metal when they hit.

      Yeah, this seems like an excuse to brag more than anything. Men are gross, but all the extra made me think that dick picks weren’t the point of this post.

        I met girls on tinder who told me how they always get dick picks, and i’m pretty sure most of them is to make them seem more interesting or for attention. I know that sounds like victim blaming, but i asked more than one girl how you send pictures on tinder and they just deleted me or made some things up on how you send pictures.

      I don’t agree. To me, it helps to emphasize the ridiculousness of coming in swinging with a dick pic instead of starting an actual human conversation and acknowledging that the person you’re talking to deserves respect and has more going on than a hole for you to stick something in.

        That goes without saying. But to be clear, we don’t know the dick pick timing. Also I think that regardless of the vulgarity and the obvious stupidity of sending your meat to a person who didn’t ask for it, there is something positive to be found in any expression of desire towards oneself no matter how crude and idiotic.

    I still have never received an unsolicited dick pic. I’ve never struggled to get men to like me though… I wonder what it is about me that tells them not to bother with the picture.

          Lemmy is the first place I have used this name, so I doubt it. One of the longest use ones, like almost 20 years, had Mr. in it, so I just think its dudes wanting other dudes to see their dick, maybe get one back. that or some sort of scammer/conman.

    As gross as it is, the people sending dick pics aren’t looking for your approval, it’s a numbers game. If you’re confident enough to hang that dong, someone is gonna be interested. Like I said it’s gross but they don’t do it because it doesn’t work, you catch a fish with enough throws

      It is. But the reality of those sites is that for a guy the vast majority of your messages will never be read. You are shouting at the void and hoping for the best. This does not incentivize taking the time and psychological investment to write thoughtful messages, because you will send comparatively few and the lack of response is harder to deal with when you’re more invested. It incentivizes sending the quickest messages that you care about the least to as many as possible. The guy didn’t send her a dick pic, he sent every woman in a 50 mile radius the same dick pic hoping that with enough sheer volume he’ll get a response.

      It’s basically spam that wants to fuck you, because non-spam options don’t get you anywhere.

      Does it ever work at all? even 1 in a million times seems too many to me.

      I’ve only known of that working in Grindr or sites like that where thirsty population is high, and where most people are seeking for that. But in normal social media I wouldn’t expect to ever work, at all.

      If they did that irl they would most likely get arrested in most countries so it’s kinda fucked up that they think it’s still fine to do online

        There was a guy in my fraternity who did this. Every time there was a party of some kind he would swing by all the girls and introduce himself. “Hi, I’m Curry, wanna fuck?” (Curry was his nickname). He always went home with someone.

          As long as he was accepting the no’s gracefully, and wasn’t an asshole to any of them… Then yeah, that’s a pretty honest way to play the numbers game and find someone who is also dtf.

          And this was at a frat party… not work or church… so appropriate time and place as well

          Did he ever settle down?

            He always took the no’s gracefully (sometimes many dozens a night). I have no idea if he settled down. We lost contact after graduation. It’s been 20 years, so I hope he did!

          I mean did he show everyone his dick without asking if they wanted to see it though? That’s what I meant by likely getting arrested if doing it irl, comparing it to sending dick pics.

          But ye I guess at fraternity parties it’s a different vibe.

      We know why they do it. That doesn’t make it any less inappropriate. These guys don’t care who they make uncomfortable in their quest for validation. It’s like a kid that throws a fit to gain attention, uncaring about who they might hurt in the process. Except unlike a developing child, these men should be mature enough to know better.

        That’s hot.

        For my spotted dick recipe, I like to let the raisins rehydrate in a bowl of lemon juice. Really gives the flavor a little extra pop of brightness.

          Add a pinch of oregano and basil as well (maybe even some freshly ground pepper if you’re looking for a zing) and they’re good to eat as-is! Very seriously, tried this once while high, and now it’s the only way I boil any kind of pasta. Nothing can beat that “core” zest you get when the base is well seasoned! And they complement seasoning cheeses really well, makes for a neat snack!

            I just use the common grocery store herbes de provence mix which at least also uses oregano

            Its really the only way to do noodles after trying it once

              Ooh, I completely forgot about those mixes, thank you! Most deffo should be even tastier! I kinda’ started mainling basil and oregano since starting to bake pizzas (it is a crime against humanity to not add basil and oregano to a pizza, that is all) and I forgot other seasonings existed:))

              And, yep! Plus they work with absolutely anything that way, and make meal prep a lot faster if you’re in a rush (I would eat a double-portion of what you posted, honest truth!)

        Damn, those noods are practically naked! Come to think of it, it’s that they are not quite naked that makes them so hot.
