Began talking to a guy on OLD that seemed to be a HVM. I kept vetting - the red flags were in neon! He asked that we meet but dress down. No makeup, haircut, perfume, hair extensions etc. lots of emojis smiling and laughing. I declined stating I enjoy looking and smelling great.
A few days later he sent me a picture of him waking up in bed. I commented that he looked pleasant and greeted him good morning. I did not send a picture. There is no reason for me to send anyone a picture of me first thing in the morning. He told me he was disappointed that I didn't send a picture. I asked him to explain. He said, it was a simple thing to do. I told him, it's not the action but the reason behind it; that the request carried negative connotations and I would not be sending a picture.
Anyone know what he was doing with the dressing down bit and the morning picture? I think he was trying to bring down my standards out of insecurity and test boundaries. Would love your perspectives on any part of this avoided tragedy!
Why would you talk to him at all after he tried to dwindle down your standards and control how you present yourself?
Red flags are instant deal breakers. They're not, "Let's see what else he has in store for me in a few days."
The other commenter is right. He was working his way up to asking for nudes, too.
Red flags mean you leave and leave quickly.

There is a trend in the red fart community where neckbeard tell women to remove their make up and dress down to judge you better. They assume most women without make up are ugly.. If I were you just block and delete.
Why are you trying to decode some random creep on the internet? It's clear he's not taking you seriously and just trying to solicit nudes
Don't worry about why, just block him the first time he says something weird like asking you to dress down. Dating is supposed to be fun, not a chore or require homework. It's all instinct.
