These people on the other end asking for photos of male genitalia, they are probably or most likely gay men. Gay men purport themselves as women, hoping to lure other men in. It's not common for women to ask for "dick pics" and are often surprised when men take the initiative to send them.

I'd be almost shocked if any decent women who asked for such a photo was worth anything of seeking anything serious. Again, most of the time, these are homosexual men attempting to draw in straight men. They'll offer oral sex or try to get more.

Don't ask how I know this.

In Germany, they are all Lesbian, if not fake profiles of lesbians.
Generally speaking, there are no impressive girls on websites in any country,
i.e. are all either simpletons or pervert. The 3rd world immigration has scared them all out of the web and out of clubs, which mostly struggle or shut down.
Socially, we are back to the worst of Medieval.

Being of the Boomer Generation I have to say this: while it breaks my heart to see how the millennials are emerging (based on this article) I have to admit that they're inheriting the world we Boomers made, and we totally screwed it up. They're all swimming and breathing in the toxic culture that the people who came of age in the 60's-70's created, so I can't totally blame them for being like they are.

On the other hand, we know that prescription antidepressants and SSRI's have become so mainstream and widely used, a lot of the behavior I read here bears out a little-known but prevalent side effect of those drugs: poor impulse control. People don't have an operating conscience anymore to put the brakes on before they say or do something "you will regret later" (as we used to say in a more civilized world).

The best advice I can give to anyone about how to handle online dating is not to start. As pointed out elsewhere, men today think that meeting women online is the easy way out, when in fact it is the worst and most difficult place to find a good woman. I used to think this as well, until I realized I was wasting my time. This is because good women do not display themselves in a public forum and make themselves sexually available to myriads of men. That is what prostitutes do.

In order to find a good woman, you have to go off the beaten path. For example, I live in an Asian country and I noticed a very introverted young woman in my church group, a bit older than me but still attractive and came off as very sincere. After the meeting was over and she quickly head to the door, I tapped her on the shoulder and we started talking and exchanged numbers. She later thanked me over a text for talking to her first and admitted that she was very shy so she couldn't do so herself.

The point being: do not expect good women to drop messages to you on a dating app, which was initially created to service the hyper-promiscuous sexual needs of homosexuals (a la Grindr, Jacked, etc. which all came before Tinder). You have to go to them, away from the promiscuous communal settings that are promoted so heavily in modern pop culture.

1'st off, YOU should maybe post some helpful advice, & that is 2 NEVER use your real name ANYWHERE online for 'Social' media purposes, EVER! Next, take some nude photos, even silly ones, & keep them around &/or upload them permanently 2 simply forward links 2 people who ask (I have done both of course). & lastly, & MOST IMPORTANTLY, nobody should EVER trade ANYTHING of value (like 'private parts' pix) without getting a VERIFICATION TASK via a photo from the other side FIRST.

That means asking for something like 'take a photo of yourself touching your nose while holding a banana', etc. IF the person can show that they are (or at least) know the woman pictured in this way, only then should N E 1 ever consider moving further, or even reading their bull$hit.

Fags troll all over the place with stolen photos &/or pretending 2 B girls, & even some hag who wants 'phone sex' or 'chit chat' can use stolen pix but is, in fact, fat & gross.

If a pretty girl wants 2 C your weenie (or N E girl really in my case ~ who cares?) send them the pic! So long as they R legal. U can ask: R U over 18?

I do not send photos to underage people. What is your age?", etc. Then U R off the hook. & it's best 2 not even send it directly, but post a link 2 it uploaded somewhere, and say something like: "My weenie looks a lot like this one. Do not click the link if you are not over 18", etc.

LOTS of LEGITIMATE gals want 2 C your gear. I've had chix fly 2 meet me 4 sex, because I'm hot, & they tell me stuff like "U have a really nice dik" LOL I am curious 2 C photos of this OBVIOUS FAGGOT who doesn't want gals 2 C his kok = LOL!! Sounds like he is small & trying 2 hide it, much like a fat girl says "U R 2 concerned with the outside" as if the body doesn't matter HAHAHAHA What a crock =))

Bruce said (March 7, 2018):

I just want to share my experiences over the past 15 years on dating websites. My first experience is with a lady I met in a restaurant parking lot. Prior to that meeting we shared pics and some basic information and chatted for a few days. We laid basic rules of where we were going to meet. Now my pic did show me wearing eyeglasses; this was not a problem with her during our online chatting sessions. Once we both arrived at the parking lot; she told me to ditch the eyeglasses.

My second experience was more bizarre then the first; as we met in a Barnes and Noble parking lot. As soon as I exited my vehicle, she approached me, grabbed me by my shirt and tried to put her tongue down my throat. Needless to say, I pushed her away and got back in my car and drove away.

I could go on, but I have been with the same woman now for 11 years; dated for two years, engaged to be married for two, and now married for 7 years: we met online.

Never been happier. It is sad what the dating atmosphere has become; depressing and scary whether online or not.. I hear this from my single friends who share their experiences.

Henry Oh Please

FYI Tinder is for "girlfriend experiences" aka soft prostitution. The men who use tinder are looking for first date sex- hook-ups and they know they will pay the girl's phone bill or rent or something.

Hey Robert try a Christian dating site - there it's very unlikely anyone will ask for penis pic.

Also Robert complains that the Tinder women play games and are on a power trip, but what's really going on is that the women are screening out idiots like Robert you don't understand they are on a prostitution dating site.
The girlfriend-experience-prostitutes are not about power they are broken/ downtrodden women looking/ screening for someone who will pay them for sex

Tammy said (March 6, 2018):

I am a 56 yr. old married woman with no experience on dating sites. However, the fact that the demands were so similar makes me think that there was something else going on here. My first question is how do you know that these were even women? This sounds to me more like a catfish situation possibly homosexual men wanting pics? Like i said, ive no experience with websites, but I am a woman and this doesn't sound right to me. Just my opinion, of course.

Good point Tammy

thanks

These are my conclusions of ‘dating’ apps after a horrible adventure:

-The female to male ratio is insane which only encourages attention-seeking girls on there. I think I am decently successful with girls, and I had a lousy match quote.
-Women on these apps are damaged and broken.
-Women play a lot of games on there.
-Any red flags should be taken seriously, for example the drink driving I mentioned, or a troubled past (which she had).
-‘Dating’ apps are not the right place to attract a woman by being an old-fashioned gentleman.
-Roosh V validated something to me when he said once: ‘Dating’ is a homosexual activity, what they refer to as ‘cruising’. It’s not a successful strategy of creating a family, and he is right. It is about sex and attention. Even more so on these apps.

-Stay true to yourself, never lower your standards, and don’t let yourself down because you haven’t found anyone yet. Don’t get desperate about finding a partner. The longer I have been off of this mentality the more relaxed I have been. There is a lot to do and experience in this world than to get down because of a woman. :)

Please look elsewhere for relationships. Tinder has turned your age group into pornographic hustlers.

Try other sites and look for women in the helping professions, who don't post sexy photos. Young men your age need to stop looking for love in all the wrong places.

George said (March 6, 2018):

Don't rule out the possibility that the demand for penis photos is for blackmail. In fact, that is the most likely possibility, IMHO.

Anon said (March 6, 2018):

Federal authorities monitor these apps. They have lists of people they want to control. Simple enough really. Demands for organ pics lead to meetings where audio and video is collected for use at a future date as needed. Many online conversations are actually children used by the feds to set up an individual for child porno charges.

Imagine having an online sex chat with what you think is a twenty-something only to find it is a child. The prison term alone gains almost universal co-operation. This info can be stored for years until needed. Same thing used in the so-called war on drugs. American has millions of govt informants gained in such a manner. This is how the elites maintain their info and surveillance networks.

G said (March 6, 2018):

Oh boy, Robert certainly needs a crash-course in boundary setting. This:

"Within a few messages, she simply demanded to see my penis to continue the conversation. ... I tried to keep the conversation going and work around the demand, but after a few more messages she didn't reply."

Robert, why anyone would hang around after that demand, even for a nano-second is beyond me. I do understand your dilemma in having to put up with this level of superficiality and debauchery, but you let it go way to far. It's like when one receives an obscene phone call. The best defense is to hang up immediately. Do not engage.

Good people are out there, Robert. Keep your standard set and run like hell from anyone who would pressure you to compromise your values. DO NOT ENGAGE!!
