Am no oil painting but have deleted the photos of myself since then just in case. Maybe if you post a photo of yourself men think you are after someone? I don't know. I am not posing half naked or anything. Maybe just having the right genitals is enough for some guys online.
I hear you. On a superficial level even a photo of a new haircut or random selfie can seem like some type of signal of approachability.

Do you get anything out of accepting these requests for being on your page? I'm even conscious of those I know or have known through the years. I don't have time for the bs petty pleasantries. A 'friendship' even with an ounce of curiosity better run deep and have some depth and conversational meritocracy.

Nothing horrible, per se, in accepting their requests, if they aren't what you are looking for, they aren't what you are looking for. And if whatever platform you are using isn't working, then change how you do it. If these guys are seeming like hurt puppies in need of compassion or pity then it's a matter of asking why that is.
Thanks for this!
