In the digital age, online dating has become a popular avenue for people to connect and find potential partners. With the advent of social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, individuals now have the ability to showcase their lives through carefully curated profiles.

However, for many women, a common frustration arises when men persistently ask for more pictures despite having access to their existing online galleries.

For some men, the desire for additional pictures may stem from a genuine interest in gaining a more comprehensive understanding of their potential match’s appearance.In the realm of online dating, concerns about authenticity and catfishing have become prevalent.

Despite efforts to verify their profiles, individuals may still harbor doubts about the legitimacy of the pictures posted. This skepticism can lead to requests for more pictures as a means of seeking reassurance that the person they are interacting with is genuine and who they claim to be.

Recently, a girl asked why do guys always ask for more pictures even though the girls have pictures on their online dating profiles, IG and FB.

Here is the story:

“Guys, why do you always ask for pictures even though we provide you with pictures on our dating profiles, IG, Facebook, etc?

Just generally curious because so many guys always ask for pictures when texting/messaging and it irritates me.

I have an IG full of pictures and don’t understand why they can’t just look at those lol. And the guys aren’t specifically asking for explicit pictures, so I don’t understand what more they need to see.

I verify all my profiles and provide a variety of pics (face, body, something fun, etc.) all current within 1-2 years. My social media pages check out and I have a good amount of followers/friends etc.

But y’all still ask for more.”

Editor’s note: To be honest I don’t get it as well.

A girl recently shared a bizarre and rather unpleasant experience from her first date with a guy she had met on Tinder. The story unfolds as she recounts her initial conversations with the guy, describing how they hit it off and shared a connection based on their mutual agreement of not seeking a serious relationship. It seemed like they were off to a promising start as they engaged in casual conversations about life.

Feeling a little adventurous and perhaps bored, she decided to take the leap and ask him out to watch a movie together. Little did she know that this decision would turn out to be one of the worst she had ever made.

On the day of the date, her excitement was tinged with nervousness as she eagerly waited for him. But instead of a warm greeting or a friendly smile, he greeted her with a startling and offensive gesture – he pointed a middle finger at her.

Shocked and taken aback, she could hardly believe her eyes. Nevertheless, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and hoped that perhaps it was just a strange way of breaking the ice.

However, the unfortunate surprises did not end there. Throughout the entire two hours of the movie, he was glued to his phone, paying minimal attention to her. Any attempts she made to engage him in conversation were met with disdain and indifference.

He went as far as scolding her when she fumbled on the booking screen, using coarse language and vulgarities. It was a stark contrast to the friendly and relatable guy she had conversed with online.

Here is what she said

“So I was talking to some guy from tinder, and we hit it off quite well. Neither of us wanted a relationship, so we were just bros like talking about life, which was already so rare.

I was bored so I asked him out to watch a movie and that was probably the worst thing I have ever done.

He was late, greeted me with a middle finger to my face, and spent the entire 2 hours looking at his phone.

He scolded me when I fumbled on the booking screen, swearing and cursing. My attempts at conversations were absolutely killed and that guy spoke like 2 words to me. and both of them were vulgarities.

And then he texted that the date went well and we should chill again????????

What??????!”

A woman shared how she found out that her husband has another son with his ex-girlfriend and that he abandoned them for her.

Here is the story:

“I just found out today that my husband has another son.

Long story short, my pregnancy was a bit of a fluke . I was not the smartest I guess, although I thought I knew everything at the time.

My husband (then boyfriend) said he was sterile and after we got tested for health we didn’t use condoms. I got pregnant pretty quickly.

But my boyfriend now husband was ecstatic. I didn’t even want to go through with it at first and he convinced me we could have a family. And we do.

He was so supportive. He’s the best dad to my kids. We have a happy marriage and he’s getting lots of promotions and is moving up in the world. I got to quit my job a few years ago and work part-time while taking care of our child.

He always talks about how much he loves our life. He’s the nicest husband I know. He is super involved with the kids. We were only together 6 months before I got pregnant and now we have been together 14 years.

I was telling the story of my surprise first pregnancy with my new mom group friends who talk candidly about everything wife and motherhood and one lady piped up “You believed that? Even though he had a whole baby with the girlfriend before you?”

I was taken aback. She told the whole story.

Apparently, my husband got the girlfriend before me pregnant. But he didn’t like her after a whole and he left. He said he didn’t want a baby. She decided the baby was better off and he’s now adopted by her new husband.

I asked my husband about this and it’s true. My kids have an older brother. My daughter will be attending the same high school next year.

My husband said he doesn’t care that he has another son, life with the ex wasn’t what he wanted. He always knew what he wanted and he didn’t want that. He said he would rather not know anything about it.

I am having a very hard time reconciling the man I thought I knew with this reality. I think it’s so wrong to do what he did. He was so nonchalant and cold. It’s not the fuzzy sweet person I know. I can’t understand his thinking on this. I just can’t. I’m having such a hard time.

I am going to try to let it go because it’s not my child, not my decision. But I feel weird. And like a participating villain or something. But what can I do?”

A netizen shared how he is always lying to his wife for everything, and it has gotten to a point where his marriage is strained.

Here is the story

“I lie to my wife. I didn’t lie about cheating on her, because I haven’t, or because i secretly hate her family, or because im a cross dresser (nothing wrong with that, just using it as an example). I lie to her when she asks me what is wrong and I tell her nothing. It starts off a something so stupid like doing the dishes or picking up something. Its so dumb, but I do it anyways.

In turn, I always assume she is lying to me. She has never given me reason to. She is not perfect, but in this area, I don’t have a single time that she has given me a reason to assume she is lying to me.

We had a huge blow up today. I yelled because i thought she was being snarkey to me when she was just trying to help. I blew up, we argued, we hurt each other but at the end of the day I was wrong and mean and awful and she was crying, and hurt, and upset.

I am pretty sure that this is her final straw and frankly there is no one to blame but myself. I have said i was going to be honest and talk to her in the past and she has given me time to prove myself to her, but I have not done so. I keep falling back into old habits. I tell myself that im doing the right thing, and keeping her from hearing my nasty thoughts all the time because ultimately my first reaction is anger and rage. Again I dont know why this is.

I just want to say, im not writing this for pity, nor to be right or wrong. I just wanted to say im sorry for everything. Im sorry you have been with me for 13 years now and I have been nothing but awful to you for a vast majority of that time.

I lie to my wife about stupid shit and am pretty sure I have driven her away.”

Editor’s note: I don’t know man, have you tried maybe NOT LYING?

A netizen shared how he slept with his brother’s wife as revenge for his brother mistreating him when they were younger.

He said that growing up, his brother left him with scars and permanent damage, and after they grew up, he decided to take revenge on his brother by sleeping with his wife, before telling him about it at a family gathering to rub it in.

This comes after the family disowned him and went no contact with him for 9 years.

However, his brother then shared that he had been feeling remorseful about the way he treated him when they were children, and the netizen then cried and felt like he had made a big mistake, and that he didn’t get the satisfaction of revenge that he had hoped for initially.

Here is the story:

“My brother was mean to me throughout my childhood, religiously leaving me with scars and permanent damage in some places and getting his wife was a way in my mind to have some semblance of dominance over him or those thoughts.

I then slept with his wife for 8 months. I’m not even attracted to her, I’m gay. But the thought of being caught and seeing him hurt was what fuelled the affair for me, I was just using her as a means to my goal.

Well, I told him about it at a family get-together after 9 years of no contact after being disowned and i feel bad because after he found out, he still wanted to apologise to me for what he’d done to me and mend our relationship.

And him being legitimately remorseful made me cry a little on the way home, like I’d made a big mistake and him being sad at that moment didn’t give me the satisfaction I’d hoped for.

I don’t know just tell me how it is or what you think about that.”

A netizen shared a story about his father encountering a female ghost (pontianak) inside a lift at night but didn’t realize it at the time.

He shared that he used to live at a HDB block near Clementi Avenue 6 at the time and saw a woman in white standing inside the lift.

The lift reached the ground level where they entered the lift, but the woman didn’t exit the lift and remained inside.

Here is the story

“We stayed at one of the blocks just beside Clementi Ave 6 exit where the basketball court is now. it was wee hours in the morning and my father had just come back from night riding with his friends.

he pressed the lift and waited for it to come down. when the doors opened, there was a lady in white standing in the lift, right in front of the button panel. it should have been a red flag to him but my dad’s processor very slow la. so he didn’t realise at first.

he entered without wondering why White Lady didn’t exit the lift when it reached level 1. the kicker was when he actually asked White Lady to press the button for him. “level 10 please”. she didn’t move LOL. so he had to squeeze and slide his hand between her and the button panel and pressed the button.

it was only on the way up that he realised that the lady didn’t exit the lift, and that she’s in white, and that she has long black hair, and that she didn’t respond to him.

he bolted home the moment the doors open.

it’s a horrific experience but it ALWAYS makes me laugh when i recall the story. think the Pontianak was having an existential crisis when he asked her to press the button.”

A girl shared how she is in a very bad financial situation and had to choose between paying her bills and food, she then slept with a man for money out of desperation.

She was living from paycheck to paycheck at the time and when she lost her job, she picked up two other jobs that paid much lesser, and it got to a point where she sometimes had to choose between paying her bills or paying for food.

And eventually she slept with her coworker for money just to survive.

Here is the story

“For the past few months I’ve been in an awful financial situation. I was living from salary to salary and I didn’t have time to find a second job.

I lost that job and I picked up 2 jobs that barely pay me enough. I do my best but I’m still struggling. So much that I had to choose between paying my bills and paying for food.

I was telling my coworker about it and how I hadn’t eaten a full meal in weeks and he offered to invite me over for dinner. I knew he was hitting on me but I just needed a real meal. So I agreed. I went over to his apartment alone with him and ate. He then offered me 250 dollars if I slept with him.

Being the disgusting piece of trash I am, I reluctantly agreed and experienced 25 minutes of the most degrading and demoralizing moment of my life. I feel so dirty and I’ll never be able to clean of what I did. I never thought this would be my life.

To add insult to injury he only gave me 200. He then slapped me on my behind and sent me off my way like a prostitute.”

A netizen shared how he cheated on his girlfriend’s twin sister. The shocking revelation unfolds when the girlfriend decides to go swimming, leaving the user alone with her twin sister. In an emotionally charged moment, the user claims that “things just happened,” and they engaged in intercourse in the girlfriend’s bedroom.

The situation took a more troubling turn when the twin sister missed her menstrual cycle for two weeks, leading to fears of an unplanned pregnancy. The user, now panicked and desperate for guidance, seeks advice on how to handle the situation

Here is the story:

“Met my gf when I was in army and been in a super solid relationship for 5+ years now. My gf is super kind, pretty, knowledgeable, understanding, caring, basically everything a guy can wish for.

She has a twin sister that is also attached, and the 4 of us always go on double dates. But early this year, her sister’s bf left her for no apparent reason, and she stayed single for a while.

The 3 of us still go out as usual, but recently I realised she’s been trying to lead me on, such as by calling me to help her bring a towel during shower, or taking super close selfies with me when the two of us are alone.

Last month, three of us were together, and my gf just decided to go for a swim (I couldn’t swim, so I never go), and somehow things just happened, and her sister and I had intercourse in her bedroom.

I am damn regretful, and decided to forget about it and told her sister to never think / talk about it again.

But now, her sister just missed her cycle for 2 weeks already, and I am damn scared. What should I do? Help! I don’t want to hurt my gf. I made a mistake but I don’t want to give up our relationship. “

Editor’s note: You’re doomed.

A girl shared how she has been starting fights with her boyfriend over the smallest things and it began weighing down her boyfriend, who eventually broke up with her.

Here is the story

My bf broke up with me about a week ago. He had been struggling for quite a while with some communication issues with me that he couldn’t bring himself to share with me. I was totally ignorant that there was anything wrong, and I thought our relationship was stronger than ever.

When we had a petty argument the other day, that was just the last straw for him and he told me he wanted to break up.

I was shocked and thought he was saying that in anger, but he isn’t the kind to make empty threats, in the time we were together, he never used break up as a threat.

I met up with him and we thrashed things out. Only when we did, when he started explaining, that I finally understood from his point of view. A lot of our past fights were because I am very sensitive about words and take things out of context to start a fight.

After all our fights, it started to weigh him down more and more and he felt he couldn’t even talk to me normally anymore.

I broke down, asking why he couldn’t have brought this up instead of letting it kill him slowly until he could no longer take it and breaking up was his only solution.

I pleaded for a chance to try and fix things but he was firm about his decision.

I have cried every day since then. I regret that ridiculously petty fight that hit his breaking point, I hate myself for being so childish and stupid. Now I’ve lost him forever. Every day now is a blur.

I know this is what a break up feels like, but when it comes so suddenly when you thought everything was going well, it knocks the wind out of you and makes you question everything. All the times we had leading up to that day were filled with happy memories.

There are so many things I want to say to him but I’ll never get the chance to. I’m sorry. I know you said you’ve already forgiven me, but I want to apologise again.

I’m sorry I ruined you so much that breaking up was your only escape. The more I reflect on this, the more I realise I was a huge part of the problem.

I wish I had been able to pick up on this, then I could have done something about it before we reached the point of no return.

Back in March I found out my wife was having an affair after 15 years of being together. Completely broke my heart. I wanted a divorce originally, but opted to see if we could “work on things”. Our version of “work on things” is always to move past things and pretend they never happened. Obviously not healthy, and I wish looking back we did something differently.

From March-August, things were okay. We pretended like it never happened, and since we never truly dealt with it, you could tell things were off, even though we continued to put a smile on our aces. In August she admitted that she still had feelings for this other guy.

August-December, we continued to live together but we were growing apart. She was texting the other guy, though claiming that she was not. She wanted a divorce, I was not ready to want that though deep down I knew that there was no way our relationship could ever return to normal. I was holding out for how things were in the past. She was prepared to begin moving on with her life, but also was trying to be there for me as I grieved (which in hindsight probably gave me some false hope).

I had finally come to grips with things over the past two weeks. A lot of therapy and talking to friends got me to a point where, though I didn’t want to lose my best friend, I understood it had to be over for everyone’s sake. My wife was planning on moving forward with the guy she had the affair with, he intended to move in with her so that they could be together. I knew it would be a tough transition for me, but I was slowly ready to do it, and began working on bettering myself for my future (job promotion, lost 10 kg quitting alcohol and going to gym).

The other day, I found out he unexpectedly passed away. I had always hoped that they would not remain together (out of pure selfish spite), but now seeing how broken my soon-to-be ex-wife is, I am completely devastated for her. I’m devastated that my marriage is over, but also devastated that her whole life is forever changed. I’m devastated that a person lost their life at a young age, regardless that he had a hand in my marriage ending. No one deserves that to happen. And as much as I wanted to hate this guy, he did seem like a good person otherwise, as crazy as that sounds.

I can’t even come to grips that this has happened to me, to her, to this guy. It feels like no one is winning or coming out better in the end here, it seems like nothing but sadness for everyone involved. I’ve tried talking to friends, but I can’t make sense of any of this anymore. People have told me I should cut off my ex and let her grieve, but she’s been my closest friend for a decade and a half – Regardless of our marriage ending, I can’t imagine not being there for her. I was finally getting to a place where I could see some sort of light at the end of the tunnel of my marriage being over, but now I just see a long road of everyone grieving for so many reasons, and everyone being changed forever, probably in a negative way, because of this.
