Am I being unreasonable?

St. Ives

I've connected with a lovely guy and as is my way, as it states on my profile, I asked him to send me from his phone, a photo. I simply asked him to drink a glass of milk.. (one guy didn't like milk so stuck a post it note on a glass, which had me in stitches..)

He has so far not done so and we have gone back and forth with this. He wants to cam/ Skype but I told him I don't like to to do this until I get to know a guy (again its on my profile) I find it very intrusive... But am I being unreasonable? He appears to have veris but... I'm so mistrustful of even that as I have been 'had' quite a few times now...is it me?

What is his reason for not sending you the pic?

My view is that if it's what you want/need... does it matter if it's unreasonable?

He has the option to either do it or say "No, thank you" and walk away.

Not unreasonable not all. It is a simple request and if he can't be bothered to make an small effort then why does him expect you to make the same? js

However people feel about the request , it's your profile ...your way ..and if it is stated that's what you want , why did he waste his time engaging with you if he's not prepared to do it . This is assuming he contacted you first .

He is verified ( I assume by more than 1 person) and he's willing to go on cam : so likelihood that he might be genuine is there.

Maybe he doesn't want to give a photo of his face to strangers?

Maybe you can compromise and ask him to send a pic of him holding the glass of milk without the face?

Or if seeing his face is important to you, then as he suggested, cam with him?

Or just move on to the next person if it's easier or if your gut feeling tell you something is not right.

I don't think it unreasonable but that's irrelevant. He's not respecting your wishes at this stage, what makes you believe he will when you are in a more vulnerable position (should it get that far)

I'd block and move on and not waste my time

I suppose he may wonder himself if you aren’t willing to cam / video call? Could you not compromise on that stance. If not, perhaps just be clear it’s the way you operate and that’s unfortunately his choice.

Some people do prefer to have live conversation as such, rather than send a photo over the internet. All personal preference I suppose. I wouldn’t class it as unreasonable but if you feel you’ve connected well you could explain your logic to him, and his to you, and hopefully between you, find a solution. I’d be comfortable with both if I felt I could trust the other person.

One can't help being wary with online encounters, as there are people online who are not what, or who, they say they are.

But, some people won't want to send a stranger a photo of them doing something specific, because they might not trust who they are sending it to.

When I first started meeting from the Internet I asked a man to send me a photo of him doing something specific as he had modelling photos on his profile. He obliged; it was him, and we met.

I don't particularly like camming to prove myself, as some men will have a sly wank as I'm talking.

Ultimately, it's down to the individual and we have respect that.

I say, go with gut instincts.

Not unreasonable at all & if its on your profile then he knew from the start that he would be asked. Has he given any explanation as to why he won't send the pic?

I don’t think you are being unreasonable, you have stated your wants and needs. If he doesn’t respect them now, then I would question whether he ever will. Communication is key x

I’d move on. As said previously, what other wishes would he not follow? Wearing a condom? Ignoring safe words?

It’s sad to say but it’s supply and demand. There’s 10,000 males on here for every guy that doesn’t respect your wishes. Move on and forget about him.

I wouldn’t block him though, if you got on well with him, he might take the hint when you don’t bother replying to him and get a picture of him covered in milk lol

Not unreasonable at all.

I’ve asked for similar things from women that have approached me, many have obliged, many haven’t.

If they don’t want to do it then that’s up to them, I just move on.

I like doing requests, especially amusing ones.

Last one I asked for was to have her put a banana to her ear like a phone.

But it is on her profile, so, assuming he read it, he had the option not to engage with her if he wasn't willing to comply.

Perhaps that's his way of thinking also. Perhaps for him, asking her to go on cam is the same as her asking for a pic of him drinking milk. Why is he any more obliged to do as she asks as she is obliged to do as he asks?

That hasn’t happened once in all the years I’ve been here.

However, I’d be perfectly happy If it did...

Just means were not compatible in my eyes.

I don't think anyone is any more obliged, however, she states on her profile about asking for a pic & how she feels about cam/Skype so he had that information when initial contact was made.

Honestly for me it's a grey area, I've never asked anyone to send a proof photo but I have been asked many times for a picture with paper with the persons name date and time or a fork or whatever wierd and wonderful thing the person comes up with, whenever I'm asked it does always set me slightly on edge and j think why should I jusmp through hoops just to please you... Ultimately tho I find if I'm very serious about my intentions to meet the person then I will just send it without a fuss and if I'm like ffs i really can't be bothered with finding a pen and paper to make stupid notes to take pictures with it tends to mean that I obviously wasn't that interested in the first place so hjust let the conversation fizzle out

Think you need to come to a compromise which suits you both. He won't do what you want and equally you won't do what he wants.

He's not jumping through your hoops and you're not jumping through his. It's a catch 22. You say you have a connection so don't know what more you want. You chat, you connect then facetime or swap numbers then chat. That's usually the flow of meeting people instead of a process that in my eyes you've just made it awkward. Don't waste any more of his time

It sounds like he thinks your request is udderly ridiculous and he's going to "milk it" by delaying it for as long as he can.

Tell him to pull the udder one and find another woman

How do you know he’s lovely?

Normally takes a few years of living with someone to establish how lovely or not they are.

Stay to your own rules. In simple terms its your profile and he’s responding to it.

You're not asking anything unreasonable, and on a site like this it seems very sensible to make sure he is who he says he is.

Easiest for excuse with this one is to say that you have 'a friend' who has been burned in that situation before, and you don't want to take that risk.

Some people can be pushy and if you are vague about exactly what you are protecting yourself from, they will try and get around them.

Your boundaries are completely valid.

There is an active market of scammers who try and get people into compromising positions on camera for the purposes of extortion . No need sugarcoat

No, I don't think you are being unreasonable being a single lady so you have to be a tad cautious. Its how real life is unfortunately.

As another wonderful lady who used to be on Fab once told me: "If a man REALLY wants a lady he fancies off here he'd crawl naked across broken glass and red hot coals if she was waiting at the other end for him"

A glass of milk is being let off lightly!

Not so unreasonable.. when we decide to engage on kik we require a live face pic and return one just to make sure everyone is who they say they are. And weve still had people down right refuse and others who are completely different to the original face pic they've sent.
