Ever send a picture of yourself to a stranger on the internet?

No, it would hurt my feelings if they ceased contact after seeing my picture and that is probably what would happen. :-)

Haha yeah. I was 19 or so, and discovering the joys of the internet. I was talking to this guy from Pakistani, and he asked for a picture. So I sent one, but it only showed my head. He said he wanted a bigger one of me with no clothes on, then asked how much women in my country charge for sex. I replied that unless they’re prostitutes, we don’t charge people for sex. He said that a young lady shouldn’t be telling lies. I was like wtf.

@Symbeline I am suddenly very concerned about what rumors go around Pakistan about western peoples.

Yes. I ended up regretting it too. Some people are CREEPS.

@Imadethisupwithnoforethought He seemed to think that all men had to pay wives, girlfriends and what have you for sex. As I understood, but I didn’t stick around much longer after what I described here. :/

Everyone is a stranger on the Internet, yet again some people manage to gain out trust somehow. Have I sent a pic to a total stranger? No, I haven’t,
I have sent to people that I have chatted with a few times. Why? Because it can be awkward to talk to someone that you like and you enjoy chatting with and not have a clue of what they look like.

I have sent somewhat revealing pix to people I know for a while or like in a special way.

What did Iexpect? Expected the person to like what he saw and to relate a face with a chat box.

Yes, I have asked for pix. Some I have liked and some not. Some were disappointing and I stopped contact with the sender. I have to say looks are important to me. Not great looks but looks that I personally find attracive

Yeah, I don’t know how normal it is, but a lot of us experimented with chat rooms and the like in high school. I sent pics of my my face, body, and junk to (what I hope was) women, and received pics from women. We also did the same on webcams. The internet is full of win.

Should I be saying stuff like this? Could I get in trouble?

@Blackberry Thank you.

I like fluther the best when people are saying stuff they are mildly worried they might get in trouble for.

Hmm, wish I had the body to do that. I do have a body but you know, not sure about the naked part. Wiener was my hero! Hail Weiner!

The only person I ever sent a personal photo to was my (now) fiance before I met him in person. Even when I participated on a dating site, I didn’t post a photo. It culled out a few of the creepy men.

No. I don’t even send pictures of myself to my IRL friends.

No. No reason too. I’m not looking for a relationship on line or anywhere else.
Even if I was single, I’m too paronoid to put my picture up. You never know where it may end up.

@chyna Are you fishing for compliments? Also, how you doin’?

@bob_ she’s mine. Hands off.

No, I haven’t. I’m a little bit paranoid.

Unless facebook counts.

No.

@bob_ No I swear I wasn’t!

Several years ago, I traded nude photos with a guy. Why? No real reason other than I wanted to. I expected him to send me a photo of himself, and he did. I wasn’t disappointed in the least, and neither was he.

@Facade ORLY?

I wouldn’t lie =)

@Facade Atta girl.

No but I was wondering if any flutherites have done this.

@smilingheart1 On Fluther, I’ve used two personal photos to support specific questions. Others post personal photos while most stick to an anonymous picture for an avatar. Just know that even a personal photo on Fluther can be copied. If that bothers you, then don’t do it.
