We know why they do it. That doesn’t make it any less appropriate. 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.

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

So why would they get mad of someone doesn’t react? The people asking me to help them get their 50 trillion dollar inheritance out of the country don’t seem to mind when I don’t reply.

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.

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.

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
