Insecurities. They feel as though they have nothing else to offer...so they go with what primatively attracts them.

Junk Mail

I don’t nor do I understand men who do.

I have no idea and some are just right of the bat. I guess when they send them pretty early on it just gives me the opportunity to see what they're working with, and know whether they're worth my time. In most cases size does matter, so It's good to know. ?

I saw another tread similar to this recently. I don't remember if it was here or somewhere else. The general consensus of the women who responded to the thread was to never send one unless asked, and always include at least the upper portion of the body. A pic of a dick is just that. No context. Boring. A dick is a dick is a dick. So now, thanks to those responses, I only send pics with my face included, and never without being specifically asked.

I have asked the recipients for their reaction to receiving a "dick pic" with the rest of the body and the response has been 100% positive.

Don't judge. We all have our little turn-ons.

No game

The article implies Dick Pics are either a strategy to trigger a response or it's compulsive behavior. But if it's a strategy that women unanimously reject (as implied by the article) then one could assume the strategic group of men would stop eventually due to lack of response (or criticism). The remaining group of men would be compulsive which is not a safe situation. It is an interesting topic that in the interest of public safety should be studied at length (no pun intended).

Of course, the real answer to the question of why SOME men send dick pics is, because the don't have vaginas!

Since some people think l am a Dick, they just need to look at my profile photo.

I block them.

Without being asked, Ihavnt got the slightest clue apart from being very shallow and assuming woman are just like men.

Some men have severe mental issues and in their fucked up brain, they think this impresses women. It would be like saying you were impressed with a rapist. I feel like saying "Is that the best you've got? And if so, you've really hit rock bottom."

I've never done this. I'm not as "bold" as the article mentions.

Just because he is a Dick named Dick

"Men notoriously misperceive women's sexual interest in them and project their own sexual interests and desires onto women,"....."One issue is that men just aren't good at hearing, or responding to "No.""
Yes! So much yes!!

Tricky...

Part of this phenomenon could be a power trippy deal: you incredibly didn't ask for my dick pic...but I'm going to send it to you anyhow. Take that! Very juvenile at best. Very desperate at its worst.

So they can't hear me laugh?

I have nothing. I've never sent one and I have no plans on it in the near future. I could only guess that these guys who do it are really proud of their dicks.

This is the only Dick pic I ever send. It’s the classiest Dick pic I’ve ever seen.

Only on request, not every request has been successful.

I don't know. It's weird. I believe I even don't want to know.

They do it because they can. There are no repercussions. (Please note I am speaking of unsolicited pics).

I never really go tthis either... and I am a gay man. When someoen sends me a dick pic, about the most positive thing I can say to them is ... It's nice tht you have one... but is that all there is to you?

Because they want us to laugh at their shorties.
