There have probably been plenty of times when you have been tempted to send a shirtless or nude picture to a girl you met in a bar or on a dating site, and while this may be well received by some women it is usually a better idea to keep these pictures to yourself. Sending a shirtless picture or a picture of your junk too early on or to the wrong woman can seriously harm your chances with her. Besides that obvious reason, there are plenty of other reasons why you should avoid sending these kinds of revealing pictures to women.

She Didn’t Specifically Ask

It is usually best to avoid sending nude or somewhat nude pictures of yourself to women unless they seem interested in it. The worst thing you could possibly do is to send a naked picture to a woman unprompted, especially if you haven’t had sex already and especially if you do not know her very well. The chances that she’ll react negatively to getting a random picture of your semi-naked or naked body are far too high. More often than not you will drive a woman off and make her stop responding to you quite quickly if you send her revealing pictures of yourself, so no matter how tempting it is, you should avoid it unless you have no real desire to have a relationship with her.

It Might Turn Them Off

One issue with sending women revealing pictures of yourself is that they might wind up wanting to never talk to you again. There’s not much that is more forward than sending a girl a picture of your half-naked or naked body, and she might not appreciate it at all. It also makes your intentions extremely clear, which some women really do not appreciate. Sending a shirtless picture isn’t as bad as sending a totally naked picture, but it still might not really make her attracted to you because it boasts a level of narcissism that tends to turn women off. Plus, she has likely been sent a lot of pictures from guys who expect them to send boob pictures or naked pictures right back, so she isn’t likely to appreciate the possibility that you expect her to reciprocate.

They Might Wind Up Spreading the Pictures

This problem is much more uncommon for guys than it is for women, but you should still be wary of it. Sending pictures of your naked body is always risky no matter who you are, so you should trust the woman you’re sending the pictures to. You should be especially careful if the woman you want to send pictures to is someone that knows your friends or family. The chances of the pictures getting out to somebody that you would prefer not seeing them are much higher. You should be cautious of sending the pictures to the wrong person. Women who are disconnected from your personal life are a better choice to send pictures to.
