Why do men always try to turn the conversation into something sexual? I(28F) got matched with this guy(35M) on Bumble yesterday and this happened.

I don't quite understand though - it was you who sent the gif, right? The animation itself does imply seduction and a kind of 'come closer to me' motion - that is definitely what they were going for (not surprising for old-timey female characters, unfortunately).

I know how easy it is for men to turn anything into something sexual - I had a guy do that after I had said 'I watch wrestling sometimes'. But in all honesty, I think even I would have thought that the gif would imply seduction or something similar, so I don't think he was necessarily the one who turned the conversation into something sexual.

(Rolling my eyes at 'what she hungry for' and 'she got some junk in the trunk' though. Ugh. THAT is definitely something that would make me drop the conversation.)

The picture is classic "come hither". And the premise of OLD and dating itself is to find a romantic/sexual partner, no? I mean, jumping right into it is a huge turn off. Woo her, win her over before trying something sexual so that was weird but not entirely unexpected considering that picture. Nevertheless, stay safe, trust your gut and if it is telling you to block, then block and don't look back.

The problem with this convo is that it’s with a guy 7 years older.

Inappropriately over-sexualise cartoons ✅ Confuse a duck with dick ✅ Show you will literally screw anything, even an animal ✅ Gaslight woman to remove blame ✅ It’s another full house on Scrote Bingo! 🤡🚩🤡🚩

Even with a duck picture...? Maybe I’m being too sensitive when he is just trying to be funny? :l I cut off men if their intention of using OLD seems shallow...I need you guy’s opinions!

unfortunately men will turn everything into something sexual. apparently the cartoon originally itself was somewhat sexual, but how are we supposed to know the intent of every cartoon known to man that every pic or gif is taken from? We don't know the context of your conversation, but I can totally you see scrolling for gifs of a hungry duck if that's what you were talking about.

However, before you send a guy a picture, try to think if there's anything about it that can be sexualized. And if you want to test the guy and see if he's a creep, send it lol.
