According to a now-deactivated Tumblr, a woman found a unique way of dealing with one of the vagaries of modern dating. Sarah, a 20-year-old from Long Island, was having an innocuous text conversation with Trevor, whom she’d “met” on the dating site Let’s Date. Their interaction hadn’t made it far beyond preliminary pleasantries about the weather, when Trevor abruptly decided to take it to the next level: he texted Sarah a naked picture of himself. Sarah was taken aback, and responded to Trevor, “I didn’t need to see that. I don’t need to be disrespected by someone I don’t even know.” Trevor then added fuel to the fire by calling Sarah a “prude” and telling her, “No wonder your single.” (Sarah helpfully tried to correct Trevor’s grammar, several times, but apparently the difference between “your” and “you’re” is as incomprehensible to Trevor as the idea that perfect strangers don’t want to see his junk.)
Finding the thrust (ahem) of the conversation unsatisfying, Sarah decided enough was enough and told Trevor not to contact her again. When he persisted, Sarah used Facebook to locate Trevor’s mother and announced that she was forwarding the pic to her. Immediately, Trevor changed his tune and found his moral compass. “That is not right” he pronounced. “Don’t do that it’s my mom.”
Well, Trevor, at least your mom has seen it before; maybe she didn’t want to see it again after potty-training you, but neither did Sarah, and you didn’t give her a choice. Maybe next time you’ll realize that any lady you’re hoping to romance may be someone’s mom, someone’s sister, someone’s daughter, and you’ll ask politely whether she’d like to see naked pictures of you before you send them.
Remember kids, sexting is okay between consenting adults (except what are you doing it’s SUCH A BAD IDEA the internet is forever DON’T DO IT!). But you might want to at least meet the person first, get to know them, etc. before sending them pictures of Mr. Happy. A word to the wise.

June 11, 2013 at 8:33 pmI know! Too funny. Quite a lesson to learn.

June 12, 2013 at 6:04 amThat is awesome! I would like to say that I can’t believe that happened to her… well, I have known guys like that too.. YUCK!

June 12, 2013 at 9:56 amThey guy was a jerk and his response is funny, but I don’t agree w/involving his mom. No sense in tracking down someone you don’t know to involve them in your problem. It was inappropriate of her to forward the pic to his mom.
I do hope he learned a lesson.

June 12, 2013 at 11:15 amLily, I know others said the same thing. I guess the way I see it, ideally the mother isn’t traumatized or upset but gives the son a piece of her mind about showing respect for women.

June 12, 2013 at 11:23 amWhile it is funny, I think I would have first threatened to send it to his Mom and if he still continued with his inappropriate texting, I would have sent it.

June 12, 2013 at 11:30 amGood for her!! Men can be such pigs!
Pam@IW says
June 12, 2013 at 11:33 amI tend to agree with JennieIW on this. As a mother of two adult sons, I would not be traumatized or upset but thankful that maybe someone gave me the chance to have an open dialogue with the son regarding a few different issues. One being the lack of respect and the other being the possibility of it coming back to haunt him professionally or legally.

June 12, 2013 at 11:37 amWe are all someones daughter/son, mother, sister. Perhaps she should have reminded him of that first but bottom line for me is he got what he deserved.

June 12, 2013 at 11:58 amI would have said to my son “no wonder you don’t have a date” Then we would have had a long long talk!
Lily@IW says
June 12, 2013 at 7:35 pmYeah, ideally I agree with you Pam & Jennie, but there’s no telling what this mother was like or how she would take it. One needs to be careful retaliating. Especially w/sending nude pics. I would hate to see it get even more messy w/a mother who might turn around and also start harassing her. Also, the guy could have been even more freaky when angered. It’s a tricky area that can get ugly quick.

Anya@IW says
June 13, 2013 at 2:59 pmHa, if only one could be a fly in the room when Trevor and mom talked about this! 😉
Ann@IW says
June 13, 2013 at 6:14 pmGood for her! It reminds me of what my grandmother said when a pervert made anonymous phone call to her house: “Ask your mother!”

June 20, 2013 at 6:31 amThat is some story … I do not approve of course, but obviously he was a jerk and not looking for a good relationship.
