OLD.. would you immediately block someone who spoke about dick pics...

Even if the context was "I don't understand why men send dick picks its hardly the most attractive area"

Then proceeds to ask:

"How many have you have... pics, not dicks 😅"

I abruptly ended the conversation and they've messaged this morning. I feel uncomfortable and want to block...

Just checking I'm not being overly sensitive because to me it felt disrespectful.

I would take it as humour mixed in with some NAMALT virtue signalling. It really needs the whole conversation for context. I wouldn't autoblock for that.

I may however be naive.

CaroleSinger · 09/09/2023 19:40

I think there's a chance you may well have taken this right out of context.

Princessconsuelabananahammock9 · 09/09/2023 19:42

I don't have a problem with what he said, I would assume he was joking.

However, YOU felt uncomfortable and that's the main thing. Forget him, and move on.

I don't think any women like unsolicited dick pics

I like them in the right circumstances - with the right person who I'm seeing/have had sex with in person etc

I don't see the problem with what he said. He's started a conversation about an issue that's understood to be common to women dating online. He holds the socially acceptable majority belief. He asked an empathetic question.
Replace dick pics with any other feminist issue, would you have a problem?

If a guy on a dating app says anything vaguely sex related he is 100% testing the water/trying to turn the conversation around to that

If they do this, it absolutely means they are only looking for sex.

WrylyAmused · 09/09/2023 19:49

Testing the water.

Trying to turn the conversation that way whilst keeping deniability in case you say no: "But I said I wasn't the kind of person to do that kind of thing..." <Surprised Pikachu face>

And, even on the very very small chance it was a genuine comment - if that's the best conversation he can come up with for a new potential dating interest - I'd say it was worth ending the chat just for him being terminally dull and unoriginal....

Sorry I’m not sure I’m following, it reads like the OP was the one that raised the topic of men sending unwanted dick pics and the guy essentially asked how often it happens?

itsmyp4rty · 09/09/2023 19:57

Why would anyone even bring this topic up when you haven't even met? Why would you ask someone how many they'd received if you thought they were awful? What's next, asking you how many men you've given blow jobs to?

Grim OP, you're right to block IMO.

She's said that she didn't bring it up.

Cupcakekiller · 09/09/2023 20:04

I just tell men before giving my number that I don't send or receive nudes to weed those men out.

Does any woman really want a dick pic?

My friend loved a dick pick when she was online dating 🤷🏻‍♀️

Genuinely. No idea why.

JudgeRudy · 09/09/2023 20:08

I don't see anything disrespectful here. Not sure why you feel the need to block but it doesn't sound like you're well matched. You sound oversensitive to be offended by this but also blocking (even if you disagreed) seems an over reaction too. I mean you're on MN asking if you're unreasonable but think it's appropriate to block someone for something you're not even sure is wrong.

SpaghettiAndMeatball20 · 09/09/2023 20:11

Just to provide further context. We were chatting away and he commented on my profile pic on WhatsApp and asked if i had any other pics.. I said I would send one, then randomly he mentions dick pics and brought up why do men send them.. it was asking me how many I've had that made me feel uncomfortable then to say "pictures not dicks"
Don't get me wrong I enjoy swapping sexy pictures with someone I'm actually having sex with and trust, but this was day 2.5 of talking after matching.
He made a comment about having a "grabbable" body on the first day which I let slide as I suppose it was a kind of compliment.
I've since sent him a quick message just to say I wasn't feeling it and just blocked him.

Thepeopleversuswork · 09/09/2023 20:14

I think this is borderline and its possible you've been a wee bit sensitive. It would make me a bit uncomfortable that he raised it again but he may genuinely have been making conversation as opposed to be planning to send a pic. I'm not sure I'd automatically block, just have my radar up.

If it makes you uncomfortable you're well within your rights though.

Grendell · 09/09/2023 20:15

With your update, it was a "testing the waters" thing. Yuck.

Thepeopleversuswork · 09/09/2023 20:16

Just seen your update. Yeah that's and worse than the dick pic comment. Throw him back.

Noicant · 09/09/2023 20:18

Yeah I’d block, feels like boundary crossing or really shit flirting. Either way I wouldn’t want to talk about dicks or pictures of dicks with people I have just started speaking to. Just gross really.

Noicant · 09/09/2023 20:19

He’s creepy and disrespectful.

MrsRoxkwell · 09/09/2023 20:19

I used to like a dick pic when I was online dating so I wasn’t wasting my time with any small ones!

NoMor · 09/09/2023 20:35

KarlWrenbury · 09/09/2023 17:46

I’ve enjoyed a picture or video of a dick in the past

Really Karl? It would just remind me to cook that short dated chicken I defrosted last night before it went off.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 09/09/2023 20:38

Or those chipolatas...

TicTacNicNak · 09/09/2023 20:48

The "grabbable body" comment is even worse. Sounds like a groper.

CheekyHobson · 09/09/2023 20:55

When he asks 'Why do men send them?' he's hoping you're going to say 'Actually I don't mind them sometimes, depends on how cute the guy is/how big the dick is!' or some other fantasy response that then gives him permission to send you the dick pic he's been hoping to send all along.

The "grabbable body" comment is grim and I would honestly suggest you do some reflecting on why you feel it's complimentary. I understand that it suggests you're so hot that the guy won't be able to stop himself from grabbing you, but the fact that women even partially feel this is a compliment rather than a screaming red flag for misogyny and men feeling entitled to disregard consent only shows how deeply ingrained rape culture is in society.

determinedtomakethiswork · 09/09/2023 21:43

Ugh. Definitely block and delete.
