Now that I have Manslations, maybe I can gain the courage to date again. I’ll just run every little thing along the way by you, Jeff! I will be poised to dump, at your say-so.

Everything you said about this Photo-Raper is right on. Way to be an unequivocal prick-caller-outer!

I had a male friend who was like this. And yes, he was and probably still is a certifiable douchebasket… In his personal safe in which he never allowed his girlfriend to keep anything were many pictures of all his old flames in… you guessed it…their underpants and some were asleep when the pictures were taken. After he told me about this, I made a mental memmo: NEVER, EVER date a guy with a safe or someone who keeps his camera near his bed!

Cheese: Now, now, hold on. This guy’s mental issues might seem serious — but if they were mocked mercilessly on national TV as he was forced to watch, might they not become hilarious? It’s all about perspective, I think.

Ew. Guy is definitely a “douchebasket”. No means no–no matter what. Bonnie, dump this loser. He has serious mental issues.

Susan: Again, I’m no lawyer, but I think that hypothetically speaking, you might be a little screwed in your case. In theory, of course. I know you were speaking in allegory only, and would never send someone such photos.

eric the bhh: Come on. Couldn’t you TRY to agree more? Just a little?

Loiralei: You know, I was actually going to comment on the “ugly photo” part of her question — honestly, I think having it be a super smokin’ hot picture would only make him more likely to show it off. But then, if he DID, she’d at least be happy with the shot. Such a catch 22.

Oh, and if a nude photo of my mother ever ended up on the internet, I’d shut down my computer, cancel my internet service, and walk the earth like Kane from Kung Fu and/or Jules from Pulp Fiction. (Maybe become a shaolin monk as well. You know, so I could kick some ass while speaking without the use of contractions.)

It wouldn’t even be so bad if the photo was a good shot of you but Bonnie said it was one she thought was ugly. That makes the whole thing uglier! Next time he’s having a “private” moment in the bathroom I’d say take YOUR best camera shot.. But he would probably LIKE it. And now we’re just going down a creepy road. Best to get off and get out, move on! I dated a guy once that liked to make “films” of his girlfriends. Of course I refused to be one of his actresses, But my son actually said if I EVER showed up on the internet (unaware) he could NEVER look at porn again! Men! Aren’t they ALL darling!?

I couldn’t agree with Jeff more.

Bonnie, you don’t have to put up with this. Ever. If you had a real lightsaber I’d suggest you accidentally give it a swing when he comes out of the bathroom naked. (Note to police: Not that I would actually advocate that kind of thing.)

But, Jeff, think of the kind of prison memoir you could write. A bestseller in the making!

PS. I guess there’s nothing you can do if say hypotehtically you sent a sexy photo or 2 of yourself to someone you were in a long-distance relationship with, then later found out he was actually married the whole time (i.e., douchebag) and now has a neato-keen photo of you in his files – is there?
