Dagny1964's blog post - I can't figure this out

I don't get this, and maybe somebody can explain it to me...how come some men on this site (or those that identify themselves as men, at least) post pictures of women and not themselves? Women don't have this problem-- if you click on a woman's profile, you usually will get photos of a woman or a woman and man together, not dick shots or "tributes".

When I click on a man's profile, I don't really want to see close up shots of tits or pussies (with no dick in sight). If I want those shots specifically, I will click on that category.

I'm not talking sex/"fucking" pictures - of course you would expect to see women in those! I think that most people (male or female) that click on a man's profile want to see photos of a MAN.

Are these men that take photos of their wives/girlfriends/fuck buddies posting them without their knowledge? If so, it's disrespectful and rude. If she wants her photos posted, I think she would want to post under her OWN user ID as a woman. Most of these men that post pics of females ask for comments along the lines of, "please comment, it turns her on." Well, if my experience is any guide (and I think that it is typical), women's profiles and photos get far more views and comments than those of men. It's not because the women are hotter or sexier than the men, it's just a reflection of the ratio of straight men to straight (or bi) women that are on NN. I don't know this for a fact, but I have a pretty good inkling that there are way way more men active on this site (as compared to women).

So, please, men, if you post photos of your wife or g/f or significant other, make sure she's OK with it, and include some of YOURSELF. Women are not as judgmental as you think we are. We are real, not airbrushed, and would like to be appreciated for what we are, not what our culture says we should be (i.e., young, thin, perfect skin, great hair, beautiful). Attractiveness is different for each person. It is incredibly empowering to find that people can and will find you, just as you are, raw and unretouched, attractive and sexy and desirable EXACTLY "as is". Try it...it works...I know from my experiences on this site that parts of me that I think are icky or unatttractive are actually are a big turn on to some (not all) other people.

And there are always the profiles that are not the sex they say they are too.

This is very irritating to the point that I don't believe that many of the "women" on the site are actually men posting pictures of their wifes-girlfriends-aquaintances etc. You can usually tell. Often the profile lists the person as a woman but the pics will refer to the person in third-person. ONe of the reasons I love you by the way. You couldn't be anything but a woman, and I LOVE it.

I agree completely, and even more annoying are the guys who post pics that are obviously lifted from elsewhere or have pics of dozens of different girls. Keep it real!
