TarzanBoy Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I like to see a nice face as much as the next guy but its not deal braker for me. One thing I've noticed lately is guys demanding to see a face pic before they even engage in a conversation. The real kicker is many of these guys don't even have a face pic on their own profiles! Its like "send me your face pic and maybe I'll send you mine" I really don't see what difference seeing a face makes if im gonna laying on my stomach to get fucked, my favorite position. Haha. I probably wouldn't have a problem with except these days showing your face to a random guy on a hookup app is like giving a stranger a permanent copy of your ID. It just bothers me. Anyone else feel this way? Sorry for the rant! If anyone has any creative solutions on how to deal with this please share. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiAggieGuy Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yep, I've noticed that as well. I put in my profiles that if you want to see my locked/hidden pics, then unlock first. I will not unlock because someone demands it. Discretion is understandable, but if you don't have a face pic, don't expect me to share mine. I do not and will not do it on Grindr no matter how much someone asks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaguy Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I have noticed that too. I have my face pics and will share them but I keep them locked. It's so hypocritical when guys demand a face pic yet have no pics displaying at all in ther profile. I usually just ignore them. No time for that bullshit. Or if they have a pic it is of some porn star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breederboy Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 It comes with the territory I guess. Unless it's an anon scene I have to see a pic of who I am chatting with. I have my face pics showing on the apps, and expect the same or a guy who messages me without a pic to send me one in the first hello message or so. If he sends a face pic or two, I'm happy to share/trade more with him if I'm interested. I get that some guys are closeted or married or whatever, but I have to see a face pic of the guy straight away, or else I can't keep chatting. Gotta at least know what they look like. A lot of times guys that don't have their face showing will send a face pic in the first message or so on Grindr or Scruff, so often I don't have to ask for one. But there are still those that don't have any stats or pics showing and chat you up, those are the ones I just block. No time for that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest descartes70817 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I keep my face pic locked until I'm sure something will come from it. Too many flakes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, he did unlock his pics, including face pics, but it was clear he is a fake because the pics are stolen from two different people. One guy is cut with tattoos, but in two of the pics, the guy does not have the same tattoo and is uncut. People with no pics at all, I simply ignore.

Yeah don't ask to unlock without unlocking yours first and asking after you unlock. Otherwise you're doing to come across as an arrogant demanding ass hole who might be out to steal pics or something shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddawg Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think there are multiple factors: Too much porn- the entitlement to get laid by a hot model/porn star Too many bots. It's a way of filtering out robo profiles. Inept social skills. Many want a venue or slight possibility of 'something more'. If they're on an app or hookup site, they don't necessarily have the skills or confidence to connect in real life for 'something more'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leather69 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 No face pic is common, then there are others who use someone else's body pictures. I get very suspicious when there is only one body shot as I have had a guy who picture looked great, only to turn up almost as wide as what he was high!. Looks like we are going to have to drop the web sites and go back to the old fashioned ways of physically meeting up with that hot boy in a bar/nightclub/sexclub... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean they're supposed to be venues to socialize and meet people, not just stand and model in my clique!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leather69 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yep Ddawg, there are venues where U can socialize and meet people. Unfortunately there are the drop kicks who think that they are just too beautiful to talk etc. There are a few good venues in Australian cities, with a lot more overseas that I have found in my travels over the years eg London, Brighton, Manchester, Scotland, Berlin, Munich, Hamburg , Copenhagen etc Note the absence of anything in the US where apart from Dallas it's been largely unfriendly, with the stand and stare look at me attitude supreme.

breederboy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm almost to the point of just deleting Grindr and Scruff completely and just going to a good old fashioned bookstore when I want a quick suck or fuck. The game playing and constant back and forths and mind games on the apps is just too much for me. Plus the creep factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanttobeseeded Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Interesting. I hate the whole face pics-demand thing. I'm always happy meeting up with guys who don't show face pics, but who share accurate stats. I'm pretty equal opportunity when it comes to getting fucked by both ugly and pretty guys. Also a lot of biases about looks come up when people can see an image that might stop them from having a real connection and fun experience with someone. I guess I feel like the importance placed on attraction can really get in the way of good sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bberik Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 If I contact the person first, I send them mine and ask for theirs. That's the way it should be. Give before demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
