I apologize if any of my responses come off pissy, it's not my intention at all! Let me rephrase this one based on your comment: It's entirely possible to be comfortable in your own skin while keeping clothes on. You're right. Modesty can be subjective and carry different meanings to others. As can love. Some view it as an act, some affection, some as attachment... I used the term, love, loosely. I don't think I stated 'everyone' with a naked pic was looking for sex or that people without nude photos weren't looking for sex. I did not state my explanation as the absolute, and I wouldn't even attempt to create a full listing of reasonings behind nude pics because 1) I don't know all the reasons and 2) the list would be picked apart anyway. My thought was merely just one possible explanation. Everyone is different, and each have their own reasonings. Many (not most and not all, because I don't know the statistics) people on CM are looking for someone, no matter what the reason may be. When they're looking for a match, there is a level of selling there. Their profile and pictures they choose are part of their advertisement. Some choose to advertise wits, some with intelligence, others with looks, and some with a few of these. Some post what's important to them, where some may post what they believe to be important to others (including the fakes, if there really are such a thing. I think there still needs to be more posts about it to determine, for attention). It's not a secret that some men, and yes women too, want to see the naked pics (otherwise nude magazines would have gone out of business a long time ago). I look at them. If they see a naked pic, they'll possibly want to click on that profile and see more of what the person has to offer. Some use this to their benefit. The naked pic gives them some quick attention, IMO. If I had two identical profiles, one with a nude pic and one without, I wouldn't be surprised if the nude would attract more traffic. More attention.
