Brian’s eyes lit up as soon as he looked at his phone mid-happy hour after lunch. His excitement was so apparent that being his friend I immediately knew something was up. As such, there was no use in him lying to me. The 22-year-old content writer admitted that he’d just got a nude from a girl he was pursuing/hunting/flirting with, you pick any, who coincidentally, one of his officemates was also eyeing.
Immediately, the other friend who I won’t say the name recalled in specific detail a nude he’d received from her the same one, in fact, that had been sent to his phone over the weekend.
The rest of the table erupted in laughter, and Brian says even now that the phrase “last weekend’s nudes” is still a go-to inside office joke. When he told the sender that he and his friend (accidentally!) figured her out, she responded that “the pic was great, held up for a long time and insinuated that we weren’t the only two to receive it,” wait what!
More largely, it figures that as sending nudes has become more popular, the likelihood of said nudes being recycled has also increased. My personal theory is that 85 percent-plus of nudes sent are recycled.
Some lady friends of mine who like sending throwback nudes tell me that they screenshot the photo to adjust the timestamp. “I recycle and pre-shoot nudes all the time,” said Lydia, a 24-year-old home school teacher we used to have a fling with as we were out drinking some time not far off.
