I've had several guys on a particular site ask for more pictures after connecting with me on dating sites. I assume that this is something that people do and ask for on a regular basis on these sites (I am still only learning about this whole online dating scene). However, for someone like myself who is a little more reserved overall something didn't quite sit right with me when this request is thrown my way. Don't get me wrong, I do understand their point of view. On this particular site I had only posted one picture of myself that was only a headshot. And men are visual. However on my end, I couldn't get it out of my head that in complying with this request I was aiding and abetting the objectification of my own body. So here was my ultimate compromise: I have added more pictures to my profile and will gracefully decline a direct request for more pictures. If they don't get the idea from what I have put up or are too lazy to schedule something with me to see what I look like in person then I don't have time for that anyway.
