No it's weird, even if you're both single but especially since you're not

juicylucytubes · 22/05/2019 15:04

He is lovely and friendly to everybody. This is how he is with people. He wouldn't t probably be as close with other colleagues so maybe he would not be as personal towards them but would always compliment a new hair cut or a dress or something similar on people . He does not message others outside work as much. I do know this

You do realise the potential of him photoshopping your face onto porn don't you

No it's weird

juicylucytubes · 22/05/2019 15:06

Ah Christ!!! He is my friend !!! I'm only thinking to myself why he would want photos and if it's appropriate

Are you sure he's heterosexual? You seem to be assuming he is, but i'm not sure that's what i'd assume from the description.

If your husband asked a colleague to send him photos of her ready for a night out etc what would you think? There’s friendly then there’s too friendly. Saying you look nice is different from wanting a photo of it.

Gruzinkerbell1 · 22/05/2019 15:07

You’ve ignored the question twice, so I’ll ask again. What does your husband make of it all?

juicylucytubes · 22/05/2019 15:11

I haven't ignored any question . I am reading replies . My husband has seen loads of his photos . The man sends them to me in the context of a holiday he is on or a nice place he is in or a dinner that he is at etc. But he is always in them .

I haven't told my husband that he asks me to send photos of myself on a night out . I simply don't send them as I'm self
Conscious

I guess this makes me a weirdo then.

I'm close to a few people and we send pics a lot. If I'm not out at my social club in the week, sometimes they send group photos and pics of what they've been up-to. I send and receive pics of friends of all genders and myself if we want some input into what we are wearing (long distance getting ready together kind of thing) and sometimes it's reassuring to see a face of someone you care about but aren't romantically involved with. I don't do most social media. No facebook. And some of my friends have absolutely nothing and not even what's app, so it's back to emailing something.

It doesn't have to be creepy. You don't have to consent to it, but I'm not planning on trying to run away with any of my friends.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 22/05/2019 15:16

Ewwwww! No! Totally not appropriate; whey on earth do you even need to question this? Wank bank fodder.

Have you told your husband?

SuperSara · 22/05/2019 15:20

He's maybe wanting photos he can hard print and tribute for you?

RosaWaiting · 22/05/2019 15:20

this is weird all round

also weird posters saying "ask your DH".

You must have a sense something is wrong or you wouldn't have posted here in the first place.

mbosnz · 22/05/2019 15:23

I'd find that a bit odd, and inappropriate myself, friends or no. And I think DH would be a bit 'huh'? too - and he's a fairly relaxed sort of a dude.

Thecabbageassasin · 22/05/2019 15:24

Its strange. I wouldn’t really ask a long time platonic female friend for photos, might say in a general way to show us pics from night out, or holiday and Ive sat through a billion friends holiday snaps - although it’s all on face book nowadays, but nah wouldn’t pester them for pics of themselves.
Unless he has a particular interest in other people photos, in which case I would expect him to be asking everyone else then he’s a bit suspect.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 22/05/2019 15:27

Why haven't you told your husband that this man is asking you to send him photos?

Is it because, deep down, you know it's inappropriate?

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 22/05/2019 15:36

Most odd.
Deliberately casual -"oh just send a pic when you're all dressed up ready to go out"
Either he wants to copy your style because he's a secret cross-dresser or he fancies you and wants a photo of you.

Either way, wrong. Just say No.

GoodbyeRosie · 22/05/2019 15:40

Oh for Gods sake of course it's dodgy.

Apologies for being crude, but he's going to wank over them.

Tavannach · 22/05/2019 15:40

I haven't told my husband that he asks me to send photos of myself on a night out .

Because??

MashedSpud · 22/05/2019 15:42

Imagine a woman friend is asking your husband to send her photos of himself on nights out. Wouldn’t you be perplexed/concerned?

Or are you secretly thrilled and flattered hence not mentioning it to your dh?

SignedUpJust4This · 22/05/2019 15:47

Has he not heard of Pornhub? Weird

juicylucytubes · 22/05/2019 15:50

I can't explain why I haven't told my husband to be honest as he has asked for them in a lot of circumstance eg of my family are at a wedding/ occasion/ concert . He doesn't explicitly say... please send me a photo of yourself on a night out....he says ... send on photos when I'm at gig or after a wedding etc . The only photos I have sent are family or friends photos at an event . Never a selfie or anything like that . So if I am out with friends , he has text and after enquiring about the night , he'll say ... send on a few pics later on... innocent sounding up until now I would have thought but after reading some Of these replies I am
Beginning to wonder . In view of not sending them, I must deep down know it's a bit strange .i am traditional And old fashioned . I don't send my photos to men but he is my buddy so I thought little of it .
