This phenomenon may happen to guys too, but I'm pretty sure it's more of a girl thing.
When you're out (socially) and strangers want to take take pictures of you, or more often to take pictures of you standing with them, what's your take on it? I'm not talking about dirty pics but more so pics that will probably end up posted on facebook and other social media sites. On occasion it's a club promoter/professional photog, but a lot of times it's total strangers (both young and old) that have had almost no interaction with you before they ask "Hey can I get a pic with you?"
I'm usually pretty nice about it (especially if I'm drunk) but when it happened last night, one of my girlfriends reacted really negatively to it. I think she was afraid of being part of some potential weirdo/douchebag's private photo collection.
What's your take on the whole social media photo-craze thing. And would it bother you to pose for pics with total strangers and not know where these things are posted or where they end up or is it just part of a fun night out?
Guys, feel free to chime in on this one too... especially as to why you guys ask. Is it a self-esteem thing to collect pics with strange girls to show your friends or post to your facebook wall to look popular, or what?
I have never heard of this. Does this really happen? Wow. It seems like a weird thing to do...."Hey there really hot looking woman, I can't ever get a girlfriend as hot as you are. Mind taking a pic with me so I can show it off of fb and fool my friends into thinking I have a shot with the hotties?" That's how I'd take it if I were a hot chick. Sadly I'm neither hot nor a woman. lol
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates I have been asked more than a few times and generally find it acceptable, if I am approached right and I am in a good mood.
During my college days when I was a dancer in a Gentlemens Club, it was expected that we allow photo with the best of customers. But the least you would be wearing was a gstring.
Don't ask me to think how many of those pictures are posted somewhere.
I have had this happen to me and some of my friends many times. Sometiems I have gone along with it and said OK (usually I was a little drunk) but sometimes it felt creepy and I just walked away. I never realy thought about the pics ending up on facebook but I guess that is where they went. I did have a guy ask if he could takle a pic of me and few friends with his 90yo father once. That seemed pretty innocent but the guy grabbed my friend's ass when we posed with him. She shrugged it off saying whats the harm if it gave the old guy a thrill.
I too am not into the facebook thing. I opened an account but never posted anything and I never go there. But my daughters are into it bigtime. The whole thing is kinda scary to me.
lol - i might have gotten off the subject a bit, but to get back on... i'm camera shy as it is, so yeah, if some stranger asked for a photo with me? only one answer. NO! i mean, really, what for, so he can share it with friends and suddenly i'm his pretend girlfriend or a one night stand or something? it's just weird.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
and that reminds me Doll, i want those photos back. you know which ones i'm talking about!!

It usually happens at clubs or on the beach. My first thought was maybe not because I would have no control over where the picture was used. I figured what the heck go ahead. Eveyone has a phone with a camera in it and millions of pics are taken everyday. If I am dressed to get attention or I am wearing a skimpy bikini why would I be shocked if someone wants my pic.
This happens to me frequently when I am in costume, my answer is always the same, a polite "No".
I'm with Nikki and Sprite on this! It happens and lot and before FB, I just found it a bit creepy. But now am seriously creeped out at the thought of photo with strangers being splashed all over the net. Maybe I'm just paranoid....
Happened to me at JIMS last year...oddly enough hubby wanted me dressed sexily, he said it was a tribute to the vehicles, please!lol, and quite a few guys asked for pics with them and the cars...hubby always politely stepped aside as if it was brotherhood or something!
Just my feeling on this. I would never ask a girl that i didn't know to do that. Sounds a bit creepy to me. I just would never do it. I would go and talk to girls that i think are single and hopefully it may lead to a great night out. Just a picture
though. I'd never do it.
it has happened to me quite a lot in clubs! like ur friends are taking a pic of u and then along comes a stranger and jumps in the photo... once we were sitting on some seats, my friend was taking a pic of me and a door man came and sit next to me and got into the photo. Tho he did chat me up afterwards. i dont know why people do it tho- i would never!
I have seen guys do this in nightclubs and I have been asked by chicks to pose with them. When I was single and a little drunk I have posed with chicks I did not know. Later I'd be a little freaked out because in the past I was victimized by a stalker chick who was very good with Photoshop.
Just one question for Sprite. Those pictures the other night when you and your mistress had me disrobe and wear a dog collar and chain and pose with y'all...just what are y'all doing with those?
It does happen but not very often in my case. If i'm with my girlfriends and there's generally more that 3-4 of us, we all usually get in the shot but if a randomer asked and i was alone, then NO! And when we do agree, it's usually when we actually know the guy's name so we can locate him on FB or whatever.
I had this done when I'v been with my partner,it was last summer which we were on the beach,it was a couple that asked if they could take a photo of us,they wanted us stood with like my right arm and her left arm round each other but as we did they wanted us to be pressed tight together,well with our breasts been so big my right and her left breast really got bulged tight together,they must have taken 6-10 pics of us like that,we didnt mind at all but they must have found it really exciting and a turn on,there's no harm in strangers taking pics of other people,let them do it I say x
This happens to me pretty often too and I'm usually pretty nice about it. I don't mind having my picture taken on an average day, so if you thrown in other factors like me having a few drinks in my system and/or me being all dolled up, I'm usually even more eager to jump in a random pic. The only time it ever really bothers me is when the person seems to have a hidden agenda. I don't like it when I'm trying to have a good time and someone is trying to snap pics of me without me knowing it. If someone asks me to take a pic with them, 9 times out of 10 I say yes. When I catch people trying to be sneaky about it, it creeps me out. It's also annoying when they ask to take a picture and then do something sleazy at the last minute (acting as if they're licking my breasts, grabbing at my cleavage, and any other weirdo provocative poses you can think of). I don't mind taking pics with random people, just don't be an ass about it.
