Lol, so many MNetters are going to rise to this 🤣🍿

Lucky you…..

Don't give them your contact information then @hotmumshit

You can't send pics directly in Hinge chat. 0/10

Ohhhhh 🤣
Honestly recognise the username and default is to ignore, but outright fabrications should be called out.

The conversations start out normally, and the men are handsome

Next thing, the WhatsApp chats get into that territory very quickly, despite my attempts to chat about normal topics

One guy just sent me a photo as soon as I said 'hi'

😩

I actually saw on a dating app under ‘ looking for ‘ this man had ticked ‘ one night stand ‘ and whilst I was a little horrified that this was even an option given to choose , it also made me admire the honesty !

Completely agree - my first reaction to seeing that was - eww

But then, tbh at least they're honest! Far better than being led on before being subject to their pics

I do have a look, I am only human, before shutting the chat down

Doesn't Hinge have its own chat platform and recommends you stay on it?

You can (and should) report those men to the police as sending dick pics is now a criminal offence.

It does but it's limited - I turned off notifications for it as well, as it was pissing me off

Wanted to dip my toe in the dating scene after close to a decade out - not enjoying it really

Your thread title and OP claims it is Hinge you are being sent these images. You are making allegations against an app which does not permit sending images at all.

You are giving random strangers the ability to send images to you not the Hinge app.

Please do not engage with me, as it's clear you dislike me and the threads I post. Thank you.

Cyber flashing is a crime, report them.
Don't give out your phone number to strangers, prioritise your safety.

Well if you're still happy to give it out despite being inundated with cyber flashing pics, at least report them to the police.

I'm sure you would if strange men exposed their genitals to you offline?

As above, please do not engage with me, since it's clear that you don't like my threads. Thank you.

Anyone else reading out the title of this thread in a Mrs Doyle voice and adding 'Father' to the end?

Stop being silly.

It's ridiculous to say people don't like your threads just because you don't like their replies 😳

It sounds as though the only option is to stop giving your number to strangers and report them when they commit a sexual offence.

No idea why you might get the hump at anyone suggesting this.

No, you've made it clear in your deleted posts that you're not a fan. Which is fine, we can't be everybody's cup of tea.

When I don't like someone though, I don't insist on posting on their threads, but here we are.

Thank you, take care.

I don't know your username tbh, but you should grow up. I should be able to use MN without being harassed.

You really give yourself too much importance.

I don't know you to dislike you.

And as you know I simply mentioned the gif and the 'girl' in my deleted post.

Either way, don't worry about it.

I'm certaintly not.
