7 Reasons Why Men Want to See Photos
Ultimately, we all want to see pictures of the other person we are in frequent contact with, but men are just a little more assertive when it comes to pictures. While women want to be stimulated more on an emotional level, men want to get their stimulation on a visual level.
Although there could be many more reasons why men are so eager to see photos, we have listed a few for you. We do tend to lean more towards scenarios where there has not yet been a meeting between the two of you and that is precisely why photos are requested.
1. He checks if you are who you say you are
Let’s say you meet someone on Tinder or another dating app or maybe even on social media. You want to make sure that the person you’re connecting with matches the profile. The same goes for a guy. He wants to make sure that you’re the person he thinks (or hopes) you are.
Let’s face it, there is more fraud with female accounts than male users, so asking for a recent or real-time photo is an extra lock on the key to confirm your identity.
2. He wants to show you off
Maybe he’s been telling his friends about you and they want to see more of you. By having some nice pictures of you, he can proudly show off what a “hot chick” he’s got his hands on. Some men never grow up and sometimes you have to let them have a little fun. And really, it’s just a compliment if he wants to show you off.
Be careful with the type of photo you send him though. You don’t want to make it too spicy and therefore don’t want to reveal too much of yourself.

3. He misses you
Photos of you on his screen can make him feel closer to you, even if you are far away. Even if you have not met yet, but are often in contact, sending photos is a way to keep the contact warm. If you are partners, then of course there is no need to explain that you miss each other. Photos ensure that a small part of the loss is taken away.
4. He has sexting as his goal
If you are not in a relationship with this boy or man, the idea behind sexting is actually quite scary. Exchanging sexually suggestive photos is and remains a risk. He may want photos of you to take the chat contact to the next level. In other words: to switch to sexting .
In any case, be careful if you don’t know the other person very well and the conversation takes on more spicy forms. However, for couples who are far apart, sexting is a way to keep their sex life going. Always keep in mind that the recordings can also be distributed. And once they are online, they are difficult to remove.

5. He is a stalker
If someone is constantly asking for new photos of you, you can also refer them to your social media page or your profile picture. If it starts to become a bit too frequent that they want a photo of you, it can even start to verge on stalking. So you have to be careful about how you exchange photos with someone.
We recommend that you cut off contact if he starts to get creepy . If you feel like things are getting uncomfortable, you can also report him online.
6. He likes you
If someone you text with often asks you for a photo of you, it could simply mean that you have piqued their interest. There is nothing wrong with asking for a photo and it is actually quite cute if someone is happy about a photo of you. Think of it this way; you are simply sending someone a picture of you and they are looking at it with a smile.
Actually, that’s childishly sweet and even as adults we can act childishly when we start to like someone . If you like him too, you can make him fall for you even more if you send him more pictures.

7. He wants to see you
He wants to see you, but in real life. A guy might ask for your picture because he wants to know what you are doing at that moment. It is nice to know that someone you like enjoys seeing your face, even if it is just a picture. Men ask for a picture to fill their imagination or to daydream about you to prepare themselves for the real meeting .
Ultimately, it might even be a loss for you if he suddenly stops asking for photos. Ideally, you will see each other soon and that will be the start of something beautiful.
