Why are there so many creeps on the internet?

[paulpablo]

I don't think it's creepy to text from outside the house.  It saves you leaving the car if it's raining.  I've done it before in specific situations, for example a woman who had an autistic son and she didn't want him seeing other people around the house, times when I wasn't sure what the exact number house was, times when room mates would be asleep so I didn't want to wake everyone up.

Yeh sending dick pics could be seen as creepy if you don't know the person. 

Although another way to look at it is that all men are creepy and those guys just put less effort into the creeping.  If men could get away with getting sex via dick pics then that's probably all we'd do.  Luckily women don't put up with that so we have to develop personalities, conversational skills, jokes, get good jobs, nice cars, status and then ontop of that have a nice cock and be able to take a decent pic of it.

I'd love to hear from any woman who's had sex with a man just based off a dick pic before any convo happened.  Apart from possibly some form of nymphomaniac or a girl who for some reason has a completely crushed self esteem I can't see it working.

I have to go inbetween with my opinion on this topic.  On the one hand I'd never do any of the things you mentioned on the internet, on the other hand I'd never go out and meet a girl that wasn't off the internet now I know how easy it is to meet women off the internet.

A perfect storm of anonymity and lack of consequences, I expect.

I've gotten dick pics, too. Also, 2 word intro messages like "hey, sexxy!" Not to mention my favorite - "Send me a pic of your clam".

It's a strange world out there. I think I'll stay single for awhile.

Without social consequences, people are more free to be themselves. This is both good and bad depending on who you are dealing with.

Agreed. People's true colors often come out when they are anonymous and/or when they don't have to confront the people they are addressing face to face.

Nah, it's a pic of somebody else's clams.

Also, it's the whole anonymous 14 year old pencil armed boy with a great command of invective kind of vibe. He can make real people cry with that crap, up until they realize that he's just a pencil armed creep (and if he has big arms, he's got a pencil-eraser sized brain. Amirite? Yes. Sad, but true, in too many cases.

I really don't understand this. Is this how guys think you should meet someone? My sister who is fairly attractive tends to get random dick pics from guy's she has never seen her entire life. Usually they are also sending their phone number and asking if she wants to hook up. Or what also tickles me is for instance on a Playboy models Facebook page you see guys asking them on a date or telling them to IM them. Like are you serious? Do people not go out anymore? Another instance when my sister would go out on dates the guy would text her from his car that he was outside. Like what the mother fuck?!?! Grow some damn balls and walk up to the door. My sister is not some carnival prize.

I remember a Quantum Leap episode titled "star-crossed".  In it, a young man likes a female student but isn't sure how to effectively communicate that to her.  As a result, Sam advises him to treat her like a person and to focus on what's in her mind and what makes her who she is (rather than seeing her as a piece of meat), so that he can possibly make a connection with her. 

With that said, on those occasions where a woman does show interest in me (observable behaviors that would suggest interest), I remind myself that the manner in which I engage that person is what will set me apart and help me be unique in my own way.

Ok. You're a little weird. But weird is good.
