Ok so I found this in DP's sent emails , asked him & he has 'no idea' & rushed off & deleted it. He is now angry with me!
Is it spam or what? I'm very suspicious & cross....

It's a message in his sent folder and he has "no idea" how it got there? He's rather daft, isn't he? He's hoping you are, too.

I think it's photos from a NSA dating site. Why he's emailing though is baffling.

kwiksavenofrillsusername · 24/10/2021 11:13

The photos are too small to reverse image search. Do you have clearer ones?

My guess is that he’s stealing some woman’s pictures and emailing to himself to set up a fake profile and catfish men. But I’m suspicious like that.

TableFlowerss · 24/10/2021 11:15

Let’s be honest OP, something is ‘off’… he sent those pics and we don’t know to whine they were sent or why they were sent.

Agree with pp, his reaction is concerning.

Something isn’t right here I’m afraid and if I were you I wouldn’t let him get away with a flimsy excuse.

I’d be matching myself in to wherever he is and telling him if he doesn’t tell me the truth, he’ll be on a way ticket to separation

BarefootHippieChick · 24/10/2021 11:15

Have you tried Google reversing the images to see if they appear anywhere, maybe an Instagram account or something?

pastabest · 24/10/2021 11:18

TinyPic ceased existing in summer 2019 so presumably they were screenshot before then?

Not an impossible theory, but chances are he won’t be catfishing other men… if he’s a straight male, I can’t imagine the above would be a motive.

Though what do I know…

Tequilamockinbird · 24/10/2021 11:19

If you can post clearer, larger copies of the images, someone will reverse search them on google

oakleaffy · 24/10/2021 11:25

If that's porn, it is very tame, rather 'Oldskool Glamour'

The screen shot looks like he's saved it from somewhere online.

It looks a nice pool!

It's Irony

I'm not sure about putting those photos clearer and larger on MN. This could be a woman who has, in good faith, sent them to someone and now her image is being spread around by wannabe detectives!

slashlover · 24/10/2021 11:28

Those were sent in June but the tinypic website shut down in 2019.

Agree with this. It's likely they're from the internet somewhere but I think without knowing anything like that shouldn't be done.

Yeah but my ex was a ‘straight man’ and used to do stuff like that. Set up dating profiles as a woman, pretended to be a woman in chat rooms etc. It’s a thing, I don’t know why.

clockover · 24/10/2021 11:37

Definitely a suspicious reaction. If he knew nothing he would want to find out

SleepingBunnies21 · 24/10/2021 11:46

He has obviously sent them to someone else or another email addrsss of his own.

Ppl are saying tinypic, which i think was a photo sharing/hosting site closed down a while back.

Who knows who the woman is or why her photos were shared on tinypic. Certainly looks either soft end of sex industry (well.the photos are soft) or amateur (for sex site hookup site or something).

You could reverse image search in Google bit they may have been deleted off Internet.

SleepingBunnies21 · 24/10/2021 11:47

If they're screenshot it seems like he didn't buy them, they weren't sent to him etc.

TobyEsterhase · 24/10/2021 11:47

I very much doubt if anyone has ever checked their partners phone and felt better as a result

It could be simpler than that, he could just be sending them to a mate for "appreciation" or to himself for storage/reference in email so he doesn't have them sitting around on a of where others could come across them.

flowersmakeitbetter · 24/10/2021 11:58

How do you think he would react if the shoe were on the other foot, Op?

Deary me. You wonder why they aren’t just open with their sexuality instead of deceiving people.
IveGotASongThatllGetOnYNerves · 24/10/2021 12:03

He's taken screenshots and emailed them to whoever has that email address. Possibly him.

GraceAnatomy · 24/10/2021 12:13

Copy the email address, put it in the search bar on Facebook and see if there is a Facebook profile that is linked to that email address.
