‘Send nudes’ has become the punchline of many a visual joke on the Internet, where you follow instructions to manipulate an image and end with a tongue-in-cheek request for provocative pics. Unfortunately, there is also a much darker side to it, too, with many people, particularly women, constantly harassed on online dating sites and apps to snap pics of themselves. Who knows where these profoundly personal images from dating apps might end up?
Tinder user Catherine took on this issue straight up on her dating profile, using a lighthearted analogy with the movie ‘Titanic’ to make her point. “No one is safe!” she jokes, and having read her amusing Tinder bio story, she is quite right.
Not to be deterred, however, one guy decided to put Catherine’s theory to the test and cheekily found a loophole in dating rules to exploit. She shouldn’t send nudes for his sake, but for her children!
Catherine was so impressed with the creativity and humor of this guy’s pick-up line that she just had to show her mom, who recommended her daughter send nudes post-haste. At one fell swoop, he has got the girl, won her mom’s approval, and talk of children is already on the cards. Well played, sir!
Here’s what people had to say about the hilarious exchange

I am sorry, say what you want but I keep thinking that asking for nudes to random strangers is very rude...
And considering to take or send nudes with untrusted devices (which essentially most smartphones are) is negligent.
Why am I not feeling the joy and warmth and romance of this exchange that apparently so many other people are, including the woman's mother (wtf?)?
Me neither. Too many of these nudes end up being used for revenge porn when the relationship ends and the one who got dumped gets spiteful and nasty.
My mother addressed this problem with me decades ago, long before social media existed. She told me not to put anything in writing or on film that you wouldn’t be embarrassed for everybody you know to see. That advice still rings true today. The internet is available to everyone around the world, including those who would use what you post there to hurt you. It’s also permanent and hackable. You want to be a successful and respected professional woman? Don’t post compromising pictures, whether nudes or drunk/wasted party pics. Once those get hacked and sent to your bosses, your credibility goes into the toilet. Same goes for guys sending d**k pics. You don’t think about these things when you’re young, but let me tell you, they really do matter later in life. And the logic the guy uses to try to convince her to start posting nudes is ludicrous. And kind of sleazy too. I hope she doesn’t fall for it, and that her mother was being facetious when she said to go for it.
