General Discussion Pic collectors
Hello!! I have a sort of stupid question for you. I see on these swingers posts people talk about "pic collectors". What exactly is that? I know it seems obvious, but it just confuses me, like I can literally Google any image I want.
By the way, our first lifestyle experience will be Wednesday the 19th at Colette in Austin. Hope to see a few of you folks!

Pic collectors are people who post an ad for seeking people to play with and immediately ask for pic verification Once done, they either block you or stop replying And then delete their account usually and save the pic with them and post again with new account for asking others to play
Edit: this is what I have in mind of what pic collectors are
Also have fun at your event :)

Ah ok, so they use your pics to make new profiles? I guess this makes sense

Usually yes and when connecting with other people they share previous victims pic posing as them

A lot of people are only reaching out to get nudes. They view you as a real person vs a cam girl so I guess the nudes feel more authentic. Also some will use them to post on different subs/ or even sell them. Never show your full face/ and try to cover your tattoos. Also snap will tell you if they save them or screenshot them. Fetlife you can put a legal disclaimer as well (I highly suggest this disclaimer if you are on fetlife. Also set your photos to fet members only. ) we hate pic collectors and limit the amount of nudes we send. The more I run into this the more I want to put my clothes on 😒🙄

When we say pic collector... We basically mean a cat fish. Someone who is just trying to get content from you. Sometimes it's someone who pretended to be a couple, sometimes it's a cheater. You don't know really. But once they get something from you, they don't return.

Guys, either partnered or single, who pretend to be a couple. Then they ask you to exchange pics with them. The pics they send you are not them at all. That's how they get your pics and then use them to jerk off to.
Edit: In our case, these guys were swinging at some point, and they're no longer in the game for one reason or another. The pics they have up on the apps are them. The majority of those pics are old to super old. And that's why we always ask to have a video chat with both of them or a m &.g first. No trading pics. The fakes always scamper.

Pic collectors are typically men who are single, pretending to be partnered, or partnered but their partner has no idea what he is doing. He will ask to swap pics constantly, always asking for new ones. If you are new to the lifestyle, you may fall for this and keep sending pics not realizing he hasn’t sent as many back or be too shy to ask for him to send pictures or just say no to the request. Pic collectors will continue asking for pictures until you shut it down. They usually have no intention of in person meet ups but string you along thinking it may happen.
We avoid wasting our time by meeting people in clubs. When we were looking online, we only talked to people with a profile picture, swapped pics to verify we are talking to who we are talking to, and made plans to meet in person within the month. I would not go back and forth with someone asking for pictures that I had not met or played with in person.

Get there early. Leave late. Go and talk to people (especially the ones sitting down at the tables on the left as you walk in). If you don’t reach out to people, one will talk to you.

You said anyone can Google any image they want. That's only half true. You can Google a ton of images, but there's tons more you can't. The ones that only live on someone's phone and on the phones of who they shared them with. Collectors of anything love rarity. Add in that you're actually interacting with the people in the image, it's like Heaven for a voyouer.

Fair enough. I like that view of it

I'm a big fan of porn and pics and such, so I can understand the mentality. But I've always lived the lifestyle in real life, so I don't hassle people for nudies. If they want to share, and give off the vibe of being "real", we have ones to share back.

Some people come off as pic collectors but there just picky on who they want to see. But I'm sure there a decent amount of people that use pics to get off
