Some unconventional dating advice for men
And why I believe every man should adhere to this.
Do not ask your girl for nudes.
Yes, I get it — the two of you have amazing chemistry. You can’t keep your hands off each other, and no matter however many hours you spend together, you miss her the instant she is gone.
So, the next step after those endless late-night calls and mushy texting is of course — sexting, isn’t it?
But do you know that even if you immediately delete your girlfriend’s nude picture from your phone, there are ways in which it can be recovered?
And what if you didn’t delete it, but kept it in a hidden folder on your computer — what would happen if your computer is lost, stolen, or worse — crashed, and the only way you can recover your data is by hiring the services of a computer repair store? Yes, the store guy might be someone you have known for twenty years, but can you vouch for the integrity of every intern, every apprentice at his place?
What if you stored the images at some folder in your phone, and one drunk night, some of your friends (and strangers at the bar) see those naughty pictures your girl sent you after one hour of raunchy sexting?
