Social media, like everything else, comes with its advantages and disadvantages. It's easier than ever for us to communicate with far-flung friends and family, and more importantly, we're able to browse the latest fashions and suss out potential love interests from the comfort of our own beds. The future is clearly here folks. However, we can't get too carried away as women have been privy to a rather disturbing phenomenon in recent years - that of the d*ck pic. Yes, if you're female and have spent any time on the internet, you've likely been affronted with pictures of penises. And in the majority of cases, they're not only <a href="http://vt.co/lifestyle/13-brutal-clapbacks-creepy-male-text-messages/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">unsolicited</a> but incredibly disrespectful. But have no fear, one woman is committed to teaching the "pelfie" senders of the world a lesson. A woman named Tamira recently took to Imgur to post a long text exchange she had with a guy she went to high school with - Hank. The guy, who apparently had a crush on Tamira, decided to hit her up out of the blue, and while she did her best to be polite, she just wasn't interested and told him so. His response was to send her a d*ck pic. Yes, seriously. Tamira began, "I was getting ready for work and distracted. It's a small enough neighbourhood. I just wanted him to go away without hard feelings". Hank then informed Tamira that he liked her, and that he'd seriously bulked up since she last saw him, which obviously made him feel like he was "finally good enough" for her. Tamira then revealed that she'd been going through a tough breakup, and that she wasn't looking for anything. The guy persisted, giving Tamira the whole "I'm not like other guys" line... While Hank should have completely dropped it when Tamira said that she was "uncomfortable", he just kept going. And then, out of nowhere - BAM - he sent a d*ck pic. Stating that Hank's decision to send an unsolicited d*ck pic was "deplorable" and "gross", Tamira explained that just because he'd done something nice for her back in high school didn't mean that they had an "unbreakable bond or something". He then had the audacity to accuse her of leading him on. I mean, the gall of this guy... Tamira proceeded to send the entire chain to his grandmother, who she knew from church. And Hank went from being creepy to seriously angry in the space of about 10 seconds... "I'm sorry you have to see this," she wrote to Hank's grandmother... And while Hank's grandma was apologetic, the overall gist was "boys will be boys". Sigh. Firstly, can we scrap the phrase "boys will be boys" from the English language? And secondly, this interchange perfectly sums up why women are hesitant to interact with men who they are not interested in. No matter how polite and courteous you are, anything can and undoubtedly will be construed as flirting.
