What do men think when a female only post sexy photos?

I’m not a guy, but common sense tells me a guy would think she’s advertising herself for sex. She would be like a whore.

Oh my even if she’s a dancer? No photos with nice fully dressed clothes.

I’m not a guy, but I would think a man would think the photos were advertising for sex. Even if she was a dancer, a cook, a maid, an office worker.

This happened 15 years ago. I flagged them as I would not want them to ruin her career and reputation in the future.

Well, what would women think if a man only posted pictures of himself in his underwear (besides “Gross!”)?

I would think that this is a woman with no self esteem and is so desperate for male attention that she has to resort to sharing lingerie shots (and had such a vapid life that she didn’t have anything else in it worth sharing publicly for that matter, no pets, no hobbies, no vacations, no charity work, nothing) on social media. My red flag meter would be going off big time and if I was a scumbag such a person would set off all kinds of green flags to target this person for abuse.

@gorillapaws nailed it. The woman is highly insecure and is hoping men will notice her and give her attention. Bad press is better than no press at all.

I agree with everyone above.

Every commenter so far has told you basically the same thing: Such a woman is looking for sex.. Do you see the pattern? So when are you going to take it seriously?

Well, then there is the other (real)reason, money. On social media, those photos and posts usually leave a trail to patrion, only fans or just clicks and likes for ad revenue.

It’s hard to say without specific context and details.

Maybe they’re lingerie models, or aspiring ones.

Maybe they’re just trying to garner a large audience of desperate men for money, or to attract sponsorship and ad revenue.

I’m not going to play pseudo-psychologist like @gorillapaws did. Women have lots of motivations.

I see two as most likely:

1) the woman is proud of how she looks and doesn’t feel constrained to hide it. (this is the opposite of what @gorillapaws wrote – he talked about low self image; I would argue that displaying a body is a sign of confidence and high self image)

2) she is displaying her wares for commercial reasons: could be that she is selling the lingerie, or cosmetics, or something like that. Or she is a sex worker and she is selling herself.

Just because a women feels free to display her body doesn’t make her a psychological weakling. What a chauvinist thing to assume.

Given the dominance of the “male gaze” in most media for decades, it’s not surprising that, despite feminist efforts to the contrary, many girls grow up thinking that their most valuable asset is their body and how sexy it can be portrayed. Throw in social media and its ability to give a platform to anybody who wants to build a following and get attention, and it’s not at all shocking that many of those same girls/women use it almost exclusively to show themselves in sexy ways.

Can it be empowering to these women? Sure. But it’s clearly designed to get men’s (and maybe some other women’s) attention in a very specific way. “Do I look hot?” and “Do you want to see me more naked?” and “Would you want to have sex with me?” are the implied questions being asked by these photos/videos.

As the father of a young woman, I love that true feminism is all about giving women choices, even these choices. I am just saddened that some women feel this is the only way they can show their value to the world.

Since you specified every photo has legs open, I’d say it’s not to sell lingerie or cosmetics, as suggested above. When you look at lingerie photos, they often tend to look demure with their poses.

Since every photo sounds the same, I’d say the message is “I want to have sex with you.” I agree with someone above that since there are no photos of pets or vacation spots or anything, there’s one message being sent.

@RedDeerGuy1 Huh?! What?? You know this person and have seen her photos?

@jca2…I agree with you except I think the message is more “Have sex with me.” It seems rather desperate, especially when women don’t really have to go to such lengths to get a sexual partner.
Hell. Just go into a bar in overalls, sit for a bit and a guy will approach them. Then they can have the fleeting attention they crave.

@smudges…I thing RDG meant the same kind of thing happened to him 15 years ago.

Ohhh ok @Dutchess_III Thank you for clearing that up! That makes more sense.

Just to be clear. If it’s being posted for commercial sex work reasons, such an intent would be unambiguous (and that’s totally fine if that’s what she wants to do). I’m assuming the person is known and not some stranger and it was clearly for commercial purposes. If it’s a stranger I’d assume it’s a “romance scammer” account using stolen images.

And no, confident women don’t only show pictures of themselves in underwear. They have other pictures of themselves and other things on their account.

Prostitute or simply nothing upstairs.

@smudges Yes. From Facebook. We were high school friends. We have lost contact.

Honestly, they’re usually just a catfish.

Men will always probably think with their dicks and assume every gross thing possible.

Women will say anything possible to make sure they are condemning the behavior so as to distance themselves from “that kind of woman”.

I see it and say, “hmm” here is a woman I know nothing about showing her body for whatever reason and I shouldn’t assume anything anything.
