A Woman Thought She'd Turn The Tables On Men And Upset Them With Unsolicited Vaj Pix
Hilarious. The widespread denial of biological sex differences comes to roost.
From the Unilad story by Alex Watt:
Online dating is a veritable minefield for single women, with simple Tinder messages too often escalating into an overeager guy sending a single lady an unsolicited photo of his own genitals. You know, as you do.Now, one woman decided to fight back against the "dick pics" and took a stand on the issue by turning the tables and sending potential matches pictures of her lady parts.
Her thinking:
I'd ... hoped the guys would see how invasive it is to receive such intimate photos from a stranger.
Let's just say it didn't turn out how she planned.
Feminists work so hard to deny biological sex differences -- like how male sexuality is far more visually driven than female, which makes evolutionary sense, since men just need to be attracted to young, fertile women and have sex with them to further their genetic interests.
Women, on the other hand, need to vet men for whether they are "dads" (who will stick around to invest) or "cads." Wanting to have sex with anything that crosses their path does not serve a woman's interest.
From a study by Lykins, Marta Meana, and Strauss -- the hilarious and unsurprising finding that men are looking at women and women are keeping watch on the competition:
Men looked at opposite sex figures significantly longer than did women, and women looked at same sex figures significantly longer than did men.
Side note: Yes, per the title, I know it's technically a "vulva," but I call things what people call them, and have interesting discussions with my copyeditor about this.
UPDATE: I forgot to include this bit on dick pix etiquette from my book, "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck":
Because men are turned on by disembodied photos of boobs, butts, and coochies, they're quick to pull down their pants, click on their cameraphone, and text some woman they just met a close-up of their zipperwurst. Really bad idea. Men who've done this should pick up a Harlequin romance, which is basically porn for women (from the ravishing by some hot gazillionaire to the final commitment-gasm). See any photo spreads of male crotch shots tucked in there anywhere, boys? This is not an error of omission. Women aren't fantasizing about seeing your willy; they're fantasizing that somebody in the royal family will pluck them out of suburbia and marry them in Westminster Abbey.
The footnote on that:
Although a photograph of an erect penis initially makes a poor calling card, some women are into getting bonerpix after they've slept with a guy.
First off; this lady is stupid! Thinking guys might find the "intimate" pictures too much!? Has she NEVER met a guy before?
Second, she is also a coward. She did not use her own photo. She lifted someone else genital pic. She's a fraud.

No no no, I'm telling you guys, music videos have devolved to nothing but pretty girls, wearing skintight clothes, singing about their vajayjay. Used to be chicks talking about relationships, now it's all my vajayjay this, my vajayjay that. But clearly that's what sells.

I'm more interested what your copyeditor will write in the envelope because of this post, Amy...

I'd be afraid that that photo appearing on my phone or in my email would get me in trouble somehow. What if it's a photo from an underage girl, or a photo taken by a voyeur without the subject's knowledge? Can't be too careful when dealing with Western women these days.
Cousin Dave at February 9, 2016 6:28 AM
You got the "men looked at opposite" paragraph twice, Amy.
Too short on content, though: Why wouldn't men look at male competitors, who could kill them? Additionally, women looking at women may be a effect of sexual fluidity. Women are sexually attracted to the same sex much more than men are.
P.S.:
"People drive to work in cars or pirates?" Much better than captcha.

I had a really good looking boyfriend years ago. When he put up his profile picture up online he got a lot of responses.....from guys....sending him pictures of their cocks.

I don't mind dick pics btw. I'm so desensitized by this point. What enrages me is the new trend for AB pics.
Ppen at February 9, 2016 7:29 AM
I dated a Cory recently. Pic isn't clear enough for a positive I.D.
Matt at February 9, 2016 7:47 AM
AB pics?
Stephan at February 9, 2016 8:05 AM
AB pics?
It's the latest thing: Send somebody a photo of your blood type.
Or did she mean "abs?"

Had she sent a picture of a different orifice, it might have sent the message she intended.
But this is one reason I've never liked the idea of online dating anyway. It's difficult enough, even offline, to find people with any semi-old-fashioned ideas of modesty and decorum.
Not to mention problems like this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/miss-manners-personal-contacts-beat-internet-for-dating-prospects/2012/03/27/gIQA2lPL2S_story.html
In a nutshell, MM hints that online dating will likely yield a high percentage of "jail-breakers, bigamists and indigents," compared to being introduced to people by friends and relatives. (What's interesting is that the 64-year-old letter writer never claimed she was using online dating in the first place, but I'm guessing that MM didn't want to be harshly cynical by pointing out her obvious problem - that the older you get, the harder it is to find anyone who isn't a golddigger, online or off.)
Even so, I found it odd that MM didn't answer the obvious unspoken question: "How do I let people know that I've always worked hard to keep my financial problems out of other people's lives and that I expect the same courtesy from them? Especially people in the dating scene?"
Some of the 77 comments are harsh - others are sympathetic and even helpful.

I R A Darth Aggie, and later, in that same episode, when they were making an anti-bullying music video, Cartman dutifully assumed the responsibility of inserting the gratuitous "vajayjay" references himself.
Mr. Mackee really should look into Cartman's alacrity in appearing in drag.

"online dating will likely yield a high percentage of "jail-breakers, bigamists and indigents,""
Sorry Lenona. Actual practice shows little to none difference for those of us not wanting to raid the family tree. It used to be attending college was the best dating scene. But that is probably why all the title ix bullcrap was invented.
Patrick,
Cartman has a lot of issues.
1. Whenever he closes his eyes he sees images of the holocaust.
2. He has an imaginary fairy version of himself who is gayish. (Or is it masturbatory since it is himself?)
I could go on, but at least he no longer farts intergalactic antennas.
Ben at February 9, 2016 11:24 AM
She should have sent it to me. I would have been very offended.
Well, not really, but I'm certain I could have put on a convincing act.
Patrick at February 9, 2016 11:48 AM
maybe the subtitle should be "Men as a theory..."
either she believes men are , in fact, defective women... or she doesn't know enough of them to know how amusing this is.
coul' be worse... nobody rated her down for how it looks...

If I wanted to see a headless male human body I'd play an Ultima videogame.
Or go to Tumblr.

It's just one study. I'm not going to believe that's how men reacted until it is replicated.

Since she apparently does not like having unsolicited genital pics sent her way, I question her ethics here:
> For the experiment, LA-based writer Kerry Quinn, swiped right on a bunch of guys, flirted with them for three or four messages and then went straight to messaging them photos of her genitals – or rather, a cute photo of somebody else’s she found on the Internet.
She "finds" a photo of someone else's genitals and without their consent emails the photo around.
But men are the pervs who don't understand consent.
jerry at February 9, 2016 12:56 PM
1. Amy Alkon said 'zipperwurst'. Okay, that's a new one. lol
2. I'm following the wrong Twitter and Instagram feeds.
adambein at February 9, 2016 2:25 PM
On a related note, why are men's genitals called "junk"? Isn't that insulting men's genitals?
I'll have to send out an edict banning this.

Shoulda sent them a pic of her wearing a horse-sized strapon. THAT would've worked better.
The Original Kit at February 9, 2016 5:50 PM
Clearly you've never done any online dating Lenona. Online is some of the slowest and most labor intensive dating out there for men.
OkCupid has some good stats on this. It takes at least 100 messages from a man to get a single woman to respond. And that is just to send something, anything back. You need to hit up 1000 women or more to get a single face to face contact. So, yeah. Real easy pickings. I guess.
Women complain that men just cut and paste for the first few messages. But with those odds that is the only viable way to operate. There are much better ways for con artists to work their skills.
Ben at February 9, 2016 6:29 PM
I think the family, friends, etc. idea of meeting people is pretty laughable.
I burned through those few options by 25. My family does not really meet a lot of new people to the extent that any of the validating would happen -- and especially single ladies in my age group. My single friends are in the same spot and generally have the same likes as I so that isn't going to bring things in. My married friends it is usually the wife's acquaintances and those have been bad. Those are the ones you are looking to avoid. (my friend made his wife call me and tell me the date she setup for me with her friend was off because the friend was not released from rehab)
Acquaintances have set me up a few times over the last few years but it is obvious they didn't really know these people. One lady was completely shocked as she had been
"happily married for nearly 20 years." Another who I really liked (and hung out with when he happened to run into each other a few times later) was into the ladies not men.

And Upset Them With Unsolicited Vaj Pix
In the office...
"Ted, what's wrong? You seemed distracted in that meeting."
"Sorry. You're right, I wasn't able to concentrate on the numbers. I've got a really bad case of UVP."
"Oh man, sorry to hear about that. Have you taken anything?"
"Well, my doctor recommended Ubiferol and it seemed to help a little, but a friend of mine tried Flavifera and he said that's what I should be using. He said it's made with grizzly bear urine, gunpowder, spit and whiskey."
