Did the guy you met online send you a shirtless or dirty picture of himself and now you have no idea how you should respond?
If you don’t know the guy and you are not interested in him, it is easy – you can simply ignore him.
However, if you are interested in the guy you will need to be a little more creative.
In most cases sending him a simple compliment will work but before we look at all the ways you can respond to guys’ photos, let’s take a quick look at why they send photos in the first place.

What Does It Mean If A Guy Sends Me Pictures Of Himself?
1. He is Flirting
If you’re having fun with a guy, he may want to push the limits with you to see how far you’ll go by sending you his photo without much clothing on.
It may seem like a desperate move, but this is what girls do all the time, so why can’t guys?
2. He Wants to Impress You
If he thinks that he is in a good shape, he may send you a shirtless photo of himself to show off his physique in hopes that this will impress you.
3. He is Trying to Tell You That He’s Interested
When a guy sends you a picture, it may be as simple as him trying to say something like, “Hey, I’m interested.”
4. He Wants to See More of You
If a guy sends you a shirtless picture, he may be trying to see if you will reciprocate and send him a dirty photo of yourself.
5. He is Just Reciprocating
If the guy sends you his photo right after you send him yours, he is just reciprocating.
Some women consider photos of themselves in tight clothing innocent, while for many men it might be a sign that you are trying to show off your body and that’s why they may reply with their shirtless photos.
6. He is Trying to Turn You On
Some men think that sending suggestive photos of themselves to women will turn them on because that’s what women do as well when they want to seduce a guy.
Even though this does work in some cases, it is not very effective and scares a lot of women away as you already know.
