What to make of this photo?!

[Dieu]

Hi. This is lighthearted ... kind of.
I've been chatting to a guy on Match for a few days now. Not sure we really have much in common, but he seems nice enough, so when he suggested we move the chat to WhatsApp, I thought 'why not'.
His first message has just come through, and I'm really not sure what to make of his profile pic. Basically, his arse is out! For context, the photo has been taken beside a traditional, old-fashioned painting with some swooning ladies in it. On the one hand, it made me giggle. But on the other, it's a bit much from someone I don't even know
What would you make of if? I tend to err on the side of prudishness, hence the interest in others' opinions.
Thanks

DH (mid 30s) has a few of these sorts of photos from his uni days

Presumably your DH is also somewhat proud of getting his arse out as he's kept the photos for around 15 years and has shown them to you?

Ha! No, but they exist on various hard drives/computers from back in the day and usually get touted around on WhatsApp the occasion of stag dos etc. I didn’t get sat down when we moved in together for a slideshow of Mr Wilde’s Arse In Various Places In 2005

I'd honestly reply asking if he knows everyone can see it, you'd be doing him a huge favour

That would put me off too.

My vag has just clamped itself shut at the thought....

Not my type of man at all 😂

This is what I envisage 🤣

You'll be single forever if you are this picky
Strongly disagree!
Stick to your guns op. Have a very high bar, and hold out for what you want.
You put it well when you said that if he were compatible with you he wouldn’t have a profile pic like that.

A dodgy picture might be totally negotiable/ nothing to another woman, but you know it’s not for you.
IME the more you know what’s ok for you and what isn’t, the better quality of relationships you get to have.

I was surprised when you said 40s. I was thinking like 20s. 19 even.

Has he been married before? Does he have kids?

Life is too short to settle

I saw a guy on tinder whith a few pics of him mooning. Definitely not my kind of humour.

OP I err on the side of prudish
Me too! And I am going to use your phrase in the future I am sure.
As for him, it's a swerve from me.
I don't do online stuff.
Clearly he doesn't err on the side of caution with profile photos. For that alone he's a loser.
Next!
