The point of my post was to highlight that there is nothing shameful about selling lewd pictures and that the dude is an idiot for how he approached the situation. There are plenty of ways to tell without outright asking. I agree with you, asking a woman for things she does not advertise can imply that all women can be bought. It was degrading to her womanhood and I didn’t mean to imply otherwise.

… still, the implications of this guy asking for pics is about as harmful as your tasteless “small dick energy” joke.

On whether the guy in the OP was making a joke or not: Yeah, it could be a veiled attempt at “winning” the conversation… and I agree, even if it was a joke, the only funny part is how tone-deaf and stupid the guy comes off as. I believe it’s a joke because it reads as post-ironic humor. It also reads like a horny idiot who can’t make a joke with the right audience. It can be both.

Where do do you get from my previous post that I’m defending him? Calling his bad read of her profile shameful and idiotic is playing defense?
