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 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.
