a weird side effect of the marginally more tolerant of non-exclusively heterosexual orientation is that, as a guy, I get 1000% more solicitations for me to check out some random guy's trout or just a straight up dick pic as a conversation opener. as a guy that sometimes struggles with making opening small talk, it's a counter-intuitive strategem I can't imagine making sense.

I don't respond and just block/ignore, but a older (mid 40s) lady friend of mine--who has been putting up with it for longer--has this move where she saves it and randomly sends back a different one from her collection, like as a "cool, check out this one" response. and apparently it has a 100% record for terminating the conversation immediately while also amusing her.

i have a friend who is an economist. he generally works directly for boards of directors and often under a ceo at mid-sized companies. his specialty is doing viability and market studies for a product or service they want to bring to market. he is openly gay.

at every single company he has ever worked for he has been propositioned by married "straight" men he works with because they tend to travel together. every damned job.

My friend, who is transfem and getting further into HRT, asked me “want an unsolicited tit pic?”

I told her “Well now it’s NOT UNSOLICITED”

She apologized. I felt bad because I was joking.

Excellent boobs.

I think it still counts as unsolicited unless you solicit it yourself.

Honestly, incredible energy. If more gross dudes could shoot their shot (to be clear, not this literally), get shot down, and then be socially pleasant then Gamergate might not have happened.

I think the only thing keeping this from being a 10/10 post is the lack of a heart react on the congrats message.
