A very good friend been pals for over50 years she is very outgoing I am very reserved, the other day she Inadvertently sent a nude photo of her other half to my WhatsApp she immediately rang deleted it and apologised but we are all in our 70s and I feel so offended And embarrassed, finding it hard to reply to her messages not sure what to do, Am I being to prudish

Thinking about this we have two couples that we have been friends with for 30 yrs and 50 yrs respectively.
I wouldn't be offended if this happened, after all it was accidental. I'm sure either of my female friends and I would laugh about it one more so than the other. I don't think I would be embarrased when I next met him. It would depend if he knew and how revealing the pic was ?

Maybe she wasn't sending it to anyone, but clicked on it by accident, perhaps while trying to send something else.

Yes, you are being too prudish as it was a complete accident.

Bridgeit that's an intriguing thought - having a cleaning session on the rubbish in your head.

So easily done! I once whatsapped my boss to ask them to pick up washing up liquid on the way home (instead of DH)

He replied "any particular brand?" LOL.

If you cant handle the odd missfire whatsapp is not for you.

Could have been much worse!

Most of the time missfires on whatsapp are deleated before you ever see em.

Its just a body anyway we all have em.

It was an accident. Please try to forget it and get back to being friends again.

All of us have done or said silly things although not necessarily of this nature.

Haven't you ever done or said something silly that you regret?

I think it’s hilarious. I wonder if she told her husband what she’d done ?

SirChenjin Sat 16-May-20 17:34:07

So when you say nude, what exactly are we talking about?!

I’d also love to know who it was meant for. Kudos to her for still being so saucy grin

MissAdventure Sat 16-May-20 17:34:22

I would be horribly embarrassed, so I can understand the op.
It must have been a shock, too!

Buffybee Sat 16-May-20 17:50:24

Worse things have happened OP!
Staying with friends in Marbella and stayed up late watching tv, suddenly friends husband, walks through in the nuddie, swinging away.grin
Apparently he was on the way to the kitchen for a drink and had either forgotten I was there or thought I’d gone to bed.
I just scarpered before he came back and not a word said the next morning.

I suspect the photo was a little more x rated than the OP is letting on. Other than the 'yuck' factor (virtually no woman ever wants an unsolicited dick pic) I'd just shrug it off. We all have quirks in our private lives.

My grandson has just put a very rude joke on our Whatsapp page, hastily followed by an apology saying he meant to put it on an under 30s site.

TerriBull Sat 16-May-20 18:27:46

I think I'd message her with an "OMG! what's been seen, can't be unseen shock" I wouldn't be offended, but suffice to say that mishap of hers is embarrassing, one doesn't want to be confronted with nude photos of friends' other halves, especially if their half has both of their halves visible blush

Was it Freud who said "one of the great mysteries of life is knowing what a woman really wants"? Still waiting! hmm

Oh bless you. Try not to worry about the situation. I think, as others have said, it’s best dealt with using a bit of humour. Many of my friends act in ways that I wouldn’t, I am reserved by nature. They tend to curb their behaviours when they are with me as they know I can get uncomfortable and I love them for that. I think she has been equally respectful of your feelings by immediately contacting you and deleting it and I bet she is mortified. Try and just put it down to an unfortunate accident and by the time we are out of lockdown it will be long forgotten. Friends are precious and we are all different which is what makes life so interesting. I think she has done her best to make things right. Take care and try to enjoy the kaleidoscope that is life.

Rufus2. We've all said it. NO ONE WANTS IT.

No need to wait. LISTEN to what women say.

GagaJo Right! Have you done? Firstly, shouting is not generally regarded as good Netiquette and secondly, I'm not yet deaf!. grin
The OP was clearly tongue -in-cheek, if not actually fictitious! and IMO justified a similar response. wink
There was a lovely article on GN not long ago titled;
"Women are best at everything except....
There is just one situation the undeniably superior sex can't handle"
He goes on to surmise that if Freud had been able to do his shopping at Waitrose he would have solved ...."
I can repost it if you are still interested! grin

I don’t think you should feel offended @over60plus but personally I would be reassessing my friendship.
I would hope none of my friends had nude pics of anybody on their phones and I would be wondering who she intended to send it to as clearly not to me!

GagaJo Tue 19-May-20 13:51:41

Really Esspee? Surely its none of our business what people do in their private lives?

FarNorth Tue 19-May-20 19:01:41

Rufus2 you sound a bit confused.
Fyi, you can be reasonably confident that women do not want unsolicited dick pics.
The results of getting that wrong, by sending such a pic, will be much worse than the results of getting it wrong by not sending one.
Hope that helps. smile

MadCatWoman1 Tue 19-May-20 19:32:54

Why do you feel offended? She sent it by accident, she's apologised. Best to try to forget about it and carry on as though it never happened. I bet her husband feels more embarrassed than you.

Furret Tue 19-May-20 20:25:16

Yes, forget it. She will be embarrassed too I expect.

Ladyleftfieldlover Tue 19-May-20 20:35:50

Probably overreacting a bit. We all know what the naked body looks like - strewth we are all old enough. Just take it as a amusing mistake and have a giggle about it.
