Most women I know will talk for days about the many creepy and misogynistic messages they receive daily on these platforms. All they really desire is a normal conversation with someone that doesn't creep them out.

There is more than one perspective to every story.

  A man calls me a bitch for not being enthralled by a dick pic he sent after saying "what's up" and nothing else. What's his perspective and why should I care?

    "Why should I, as victim of this extreme example, primarily vested in myself, care about the other perspective?" You shouldn't. But as a third party, I will absolutely be skeptical of all the women who "meet creepy men on the daily" and continue to be passive and use those services. As for the original point. It wouldn't be the first time a woman covered herself by calling the other creepy over something minor. It's not exactly an unknown thing for humans to cover their own flaws and misjudgments by blaming the other party, man or woman.

      My prognosis from a million miles away is that you are in dire need of in-depth discussions with many different women about their dating experiences and experiences with men in general. You seem to not understand the landscape at all.

      That's not an extreme example. That's an extremely common experience that most women I know have had. Daily? No, but frequently, and I'm not terribly attractive. The more conventionally attractive friends of mine get way more attention and way more unsolicited dick pics.

        What kind of services are they using which allow dick pics? Many of the dating apps will not allow sending pics of any kind; only a couple of them do, off the top of my head (CMB for one). Tinder and Bumble don't.

        It really doesn't matter what's allowed, guys do it anyway and I'm assuming the risk that they get reported helps them get their jollies.

        >It really doesn't matter what's allowed, guys do it anyway Bullshit. If the platform doesn't give you a technical way of sending a photo, then how the hell do you send a dick pic? You don't. You can't magically make a dick pic appear through a text message when that's all the platform allows. I really expect better than this from HN.
