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.
