Smart women do not reveal anything until they have him firmly roped and tied.
I don't quite see how it could be accomplished, but people need real community and social media isn't it. I can imagine some kind of local community center springing up all over the country, like Starbucks. Or the old Grange buildings. Especially when people seem to be leaving the cities and moving to smaller towns and working from home. To have some sort of local place to go and meet people face-to-face. Of course, Church is wonderful for this, but so many people are unchurched that something purely social seems needed.
I could imagine this tied to hobbies like wood-working or cooking or whatever. I think people long for wholesome connection and when they can't find that, they end up sending nude photos to strangers.
Smart women are also impressed by responsible, relatively virtuous men and not by bad boys.
Which is to say, whatever Common Sense Quotient there is that should complement IQ (but hasn’t been derived ... probably should be) half of everyone is below average too. And “average” isn’t that great now anyway.
Actually, having a high CSQ would be an amazing thing to provably have.
Ask Dr. Laura.
Her nudie pics for a significant other sat in a desk drawer for years after they had split-up until she became a radio star and the ex decided to cash-in on her fame.

Free Republic is social media.
Like one comedian observed, when he was a kind they played with fireworks, knives and guns ...the herd got weeded out a bit ... but the safe and coddled kids never had to learn more than they learned in kindergarten resulting in people with low Common Sense Quotient.

Honestly, I spend too much time here. But it is the only social media I use.
There are idiots everywhere.
SO no red flags went up with these women when someone asked them for nude photos?
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!
They deserve what they got.
No, we’re more anti-social media with way more letters to use in a post ... I know because I’m a member of the wall-o-text club.
Had to look it up. She certainly reaped what she sowed.
In 1998, Schlessinger’s early radio mentor, Bill Ballance, sold nude photos of Schlessinger to a company specializing in internet porn. The photos were taken in the mid-1970s, while Schlessinger was involved in a brief affair with the then-married Ballance.[83][84] Schlessinger sued after the photos were posted on the internet,[85] claiming invasion of privacy and copyright violation. The court ruled that Schlessinger did not own the rights to the photos. She did not appeal the ruling.[86] She told her radio audience that she was embarrassed, but that the photos were taken when she was going through a divorce and had “no moral authority.”[83][87]

So do I, so do I. But my point was that it isn’t the Social Media platform that is evil, it is how it is misused and abused by people who don’t consider the consequences.
These people sending nude selfies to strangers are the same sort of people who were hanging out in Discos in the 70s looking for Mr. Goodbar and snorting Coke in the bathrooms. There’s something about human behavior that leans towards evoking the adrenaline response from doing something “forbidden.”
Stupid is as stupid does. And that’s all I have to say about that.
At least you’re not a member of the Opus-of-the-Month club.
George Costanza’s “I’m a woman trapped in a man’s body” .
Also the big naked selfie cloud hacking scandal of a few years ago. Virtually every young actress in Hollywood got caught up in it. That’s a LOT of naked selfies getting uploaded.
The FBI said that Jennifer Lawrence sat in their office and cried for two hours.
She apparently did not realize that the cloud is NOT an actual cloud.
It might be, but it seems to me there has always been a big difference between sites that use real names and identities and those that don’t. It seems like most of the problems with social media happens on the sites that use real names.

It’s hard for me to imagine someone looking back from the year 2050 and thinking to themselves that social media has been this really great thing for culture and society.

When I was young the girls used to keep diaries and they were secret.
Now they show and tell everybody everything about themselves.
And they wonder why men don’t give a shit about them anymore.
