      I have a friend who solicits deck pics in her dating apps. Unfortunately the only men I meet who meet my standards for dating her end up being either gay or super gay.

      Presumably, like spam, one would guess that it works sufficiently often to make it worth the attempt? 🤢🙃😅

        I would guess that, for the people sending them unsolicited, it’s like the fastest way to get a smash/pass answer. It’s saying “I want to sex you, here’s what I got,” in two seconds rather than the colossal effort to type out two complete sentences. There’s also some unique psychology learning/behavior math that makes the stimulus (dick pic in this case) and its lower successes more likely to continue.
