We have had a few younger posters here over the past year who subscribe to the misguided idea that exchanging nude pix is just part of the dating process now, and they freak out when people suggest otherwise, calling us out of touch.
Now here we have a question from someone who apparently is familiar with that train of thought, to the point that it has caused her to wonder if a request for photos means "nude photos" when that should never enter into either one of their minds since they don't even know each other.
Ah, I see. Because you did not say you were referencing instances other than this thread or the OP's experiences, I didn't know.
I don't know anyone IRL who thinks nude pictures are a natural part of the dating process, but perhaps some have shown up on this forum.

I'm on the younger side of things and I do not think exchanging nude pics is part of the dating process. The first time you see each other nude is the first time you have sex. Digital nude pics are not what real life nudity is.
Well I haven't heard from him in a few days so I think he was simply a picture collector .
Of course he is, and a liar, and only wanted nude photos, and there is no way that he is telling the truth and is a Doctor who is busy at work, celebrating the recent holiday with his family and friends etc. etc.....

I suspect that just wants nude photos- Nothing concrete to go on. He lives 4 hours away, is a doctor so probably has women throwing themselves at him all the time, and knowing my luck is probably married (he did have 1 picture up though). I emailed him back but again no response. I already imagined in my mind our first date LOL.
I don't see the request for nudes ... perhaps because the animals are nude in his pics?
You're reading too much into it. If you want to send him nudes, I'm sure he will welcome it, but it does not sound like he is asking for them. Guys who want nudes will usually send you a shirtless photo of themselves and expect something similar back. They would sound more sleazy than that email.
I wouldn't rely on google as this dr may well exist, but is not actually the one who is posting on this site. With catfishing, a woman could pretend to be a man using someone else's pics & life events that they lift off sights like Facebook & Instagram. 1 woman did this in USA & managed to have pseudo relationships with 7 gorgeous & intelligent women for 2-3yrs. The story she created was so credible & she did this using some poor guy's images. She never met the women in real life as situations would always arise, e.g. Relative was sick; she was being deployed abroad etc. The guy whose pics she stole had no clue that his photos were being used in this way. There are some sick people out there so i'ld be careful about what I read on the Internet.
Oh dear goodness, with this degree of suspicion how does anyone ever get a date???
I mean there's healthy skepticism and there's a normal degree of self-protection when approaching a stranger...and then there's "let's dream up every single thing that could possibly be wrong and develop a mental image of our face on a milk carton while we're secretly being made into a person-suit."
"Be careful," sure. "Assume it's as likely as not that a person is involved in some intricate scam" I can't see quite as much. Yes, there are sick people out there. And OTOH there are an awful lot of people who just want to meet someone.
But if this is the degree of fear and suspicion one is going to have, I'd recommend no OLD. Or maybe not dating at all!

The odd thing is I used to do quite a bit of OLD and met quite a few great guys whilst doing it. When I recommence dating, I will most certainly have OLD as one of my options. However, I always feel sorry for those who get scammed via OLD and end up losing their life savings. So when someone sends a generic message that doesn't actually reference anything in your profile, I get suspicious. The fact remains, one shouldn't believe everything they read online!
