1. I will take a picture right now, but first, I need to know your favorite emoji so I can strike the right pose.

This is one of my award-winning responses to a guy asking for my picture. When I use this, it’s because I don’t want to send one of the pictures I already have.

Depending on the emoji they send to me, I will pose in the same way and send it to them. This will show my prospective admirers that I am fun and open-minded.

• ‘Hey, can I see what you look like?’
• ‘I will take a picture right now, but first, I need to know your favorite emoji so I can strike the right pose.’

2. I would love to, but my camera’s broken. Every picture that I take comes out as a potato

If you are searching for a response that will show your sense of humor, then you’ve found the right one.

The effect it will have on the hearer will be on different levels. First, they will be surprised, if they are as open-minded as you are, then they will catch the drift and will end up laughing as well.

• ‘Hey, send me a pic, I want to see who I’m chatting with.’
• ‘I would love to, but my camera’s broken. Every picture that I take comes out as a potato.’

3. That’s okay, but can I add my signature look of cat ears and whiskers?

This response spells trouble but can be cute depending on who you are speaking with. It can be troublesome because the person will not see clearly what you look like due to the filter, but then, you get to look cute.

• ‘Hey, send me a pic!’
• ‘That’s okay, but can I add my signature look of cat ears and whiskers?’

4. Are you ready? Viewer’s discretion: This may cause uncontrollable laughter.

Are you a fan of memes? If you are, then you can use it as a response. It does not mean that you will not send your picture. It is just an attempt to humor him.

This can also be a way to know if they have a good sense of humor or if they are the uptight type.

• ‘Are you ready?’
• ‘For?’
• ‘The picture you asked me to send. Anyways, viewer’s discretion is advised – this may cause uncontrollable laughter.’

5. Sending you a picture now, but my phone camera is not that clear. Hope you’re a fan of blurry, unrecognizable blobs.

This response, even though funny, is a way to avoid sending your picture to a total stranger. I use this when I feel I’ve not spoken to the person for a long time and I don’t feel safe sharing certain things with them.

I don’t become outrightly rude, I use this as a humorous way to avoid sending my pic. You can try it too.

• ‘Can I finally see who I’ve been speaking with?’
• ‘Sending you a picture now, but my phone camera is not that clear. Hope you’re a fan of blurry, unrecognizable blobs?’

6. I only hope it does not break the internet with hilarity.

Well, this can be humorous in two ways. First, if you know that you are looking gorgeous at the moment but you just wish to be sarcastic. 

Secondly, if you still probably have your morning hair and you’re not looking your best, you can use this to soften the blow of your perceived bad look.

• ‘It will be nice.’
• ‘That’s no problem. I only hope it does not break the internet with hilarity.’

7. I will be sending you a masterpiece; but remember, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder…with questionable taste.

Talk about using puns to create humor – beer holder for be holder. It means almost the same thing. 

Also, the sentences appear oxymoronic because you first claim that you are about to send a masterpiece, and then all of a sudden, you are asking them not to expect too much.

• ‘I will be sending you a masterpiece…’
• ‘Oh really? I can’t wait.’
• ‘But remember, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder…with questionable taste.’

8. Just don’t look at the picture close to a mirror. My selfies have been known to break mirrors.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall…well, we all know how that ends. This statement is not to scare the person you are speaking with.

If passed correctly, they will not assume you’re into voodoo or anything mysterious but will understand that it is your attempt at being funny.

• ‘Just don’t look at the picture close to a mirror.’
• ‘Why is that?’
• ‘My selfies have been known to break mirrors.’

9. If you attempt to use it for voodoo doll purposes, I will have a field day chasing you in your dreams.

Most people have been known to use pictures people send to them to do untoward things.

Whatever it is, it’s always advisable to have the upper hand, hence, you may likely want to get him scared before he thinks of doing something weird with your pic.

• ‘I will send one.’
• ‘I will be expecting it.’
• ‘However, if you attempt to use it for voodoo doll purposes, I will have a field day chasing you in your dreams.’

10. Hope you can time travel. I’m sending you a picture from 10 years ago.

Sending someone a pic from 10 years ago would mean that you may want to send them your childhood picture. I don’t subscribe to that unless you’ve known the person well.

• ‘Hope you time travel?’
• ‘Why do you ask?’
• ‘I’m sending you a picture from 10 years ago.’

11. Are you sure your phone can handle my awesomeness? Your screen may crack by just looking at my selfie.

Talk about flattering yourself. Most people will call it self-love. Regardless of what it is, as far as it gets the other person smiling, it will be worth it. Just make sure you’re looking your best as you use this statement.

• ‘Are you sure your phone can handle my awesomeness?’
• ‘Only one way to find out.’
• ‘I’m warning you, your screen may crack by just looking at my selfie.’

12. You may want to put on your sunglasses, cause my smile is blinding.

Do you smile a lot like me? I can’t help it. I have a beautiful smile so why not share it? If you also have a beautiful smile, then this is the right response to adopt.

• ‘Do me the honor of seeing your pretty face.’
• ‘You may want to put on your sunglasses, cause my smile is blinding.’

13. My pet rock is more photogenic than I am. I don’t think you want to see what I look like in a picture.

We are all beautiful, or we are at least modest enough to believe so, but not all of us are photogenic. 

Some of us have to snap at least a thousand pictures before we can find that perfect one that we will not dare post.

• ‘My pet rock is more photogenic than I am.’
• ‘Oh really?’
• ‘Yeah, I don’t think you want to see what I look like in a picture.’

14. If you promise not to use it as a dartboard, only then can I send it.

As a lady, it’s not advisable to think that all men are nice and mean well to you, especially when y’all are still in the talking stage.

To some of them, it’s just a game hence you need to be discerning.

• ‘On one condition.’
• ‘What is that?’
• ‘If you promise not to use it as a dartboard, only then can I send it.’

15. Well, I’ve been told that I have a face that only a mother could forget. Just thought to warn you before I send the picture.

There are some people’s faces that when you see them just once you never forget them. 

Some people need to have their faces stamped in their heads to make it memorable. If you belong to the latter, then this is the right response for you.

• ‘Well, I’ve been told that I have a face that only a mother could forget.’
• ‘Is that so?’
• ‘Don’t know. Just thought to warn you before I send the picture.’

16. I could send you a picture of my spirit animal instead. It’s a lot cuter.

There are people like me who like to be honest with ourselves. While many words can describe how exquisite we look, ‘cute’ isn’t one of them.

What this means is that this statement will rightly suit a situation where the guy calls you cute before asking for your picture.

• ‘Can I see how cute you are?’
• ‘I could send you a picture of my spirit animal instead. It’s a lot cuter.’

17. I hope you have a good sight. My selfies have been known to cause temporary blindness.

This statement could mean either of these two things – that you are so beautiful that anyone who looks at your picture gets temporarily blinded by your picture or that you’re so ugly that your ugliness gets people blinded.

While I try to be optimistic, you can only belong to one of the two.

• ‘I hope you have a good sight.’
• ‘Why do you ask?’
• ‘Cause my selfies have been known to cause temporary blindness.’

18. I’m more of a ‘behind-the-scenes’ kind of person, so prepared to be underwhelmed.

This is the perfect statement for someone who wants to be hilarious. However, this statement is a thin line between a person who wants to be funny and a person who lacks self-esteem.

Either way, it’s a good way to warn the guy not to expect too much from you.

• ‘Kindly send your pic let me see who I’m speaking with.’
• ‘I’m more of a ‘behind-the-scenes’ kind of person, so prepared to be underwhelmed.’

19. Don’t be alarmed if you mistake me for a Picasso; I know most people have.

A Picasso is a painting made by the famous Spanish painter and sculptor, Pablo Picasso. It has a distinct feature that it’s known for hence when people see it they easily identify it.

This means that the guy can only understand the joke if he is familiar with the painter and his paintings.

• ‘Can you send me a pic let me see what you look like?’
• ‘I will, but don’t be alarmed if you mistake me for a Picasso; I know most people have.’

20. Brace yourself for the unexpected, the unpredictable, the utterly ridiculous! Aguero!

I love to have a worthy sense of humor sometimes, and this is the perfect response for times like that. This is perfect if you are speaking to someone who loves football.

• ‘Brace yourself for the unexpected,…’
• ‘Oh.’
• ‘…the unpredictable, the utterly ridiculous! Aguero!’

21. Sending a picture your way! And before you ask, yes, I woke up like this.

Most ladies are such perfectionists that they claim to sleep with such perfect hair and makeup. Of course, the guys know that you are lying but you can still give it your best shot.

• ‘Sending a picture your way!’
• ‘I’m waiting.’
• ‘Before you ask, yes, I woke up like this.’

22. I will send you a picture on the condition that you will not laugh…too hard.

If you intend to keep him guessing or to pique his interest, then this is your best bet. Here, you get him wondering if you are going to send a funny picture or not, you keep him guessing. 

• ‘I will send you a picture on one condition.’
• ‘What?’
• ‘That you will not laugh…too hard.’

23. I’m going to be sending you an ‘Awkward Selfie’, just don’t think too much about it.

Well, it is said that to be forewarned is to be forearmed right? Just to be on the safe side, you may want to warn the guy that your picture is quite awkward so let him just be cool with it.

• ‘I’m going to be sending you an ‘Awkward Selfie.’
• ‘That’s new.’
• ‘Just don’t think too much about it.’

24. I hope you don’t easily add weight because my camera adds 10 pounds…of silliness.

This statement aims to sound cute, funny, and creative. It will first pique your hearer’s curiosity right before you drop the awesome lines. It has worked for me, I’m sure it will work for you too.

• ‘I hope you don’t easily add weight,..’
• ‘Why do you ask?’
• ‘Because my camera adds 10 pounds…of silliness.’

25. Alright, I will send it, but you’ll have to excuse the photobombing unicorn in the background.

This funny response can be creative in two ways. Either there’s a unicorn in the background which will be quite rare considering that they don’t exist, or you photoshopped a unicorn to the picture.

• ‘Alright, I will send it.’
• ‘Great.’
• ‘But you’ll have to excuse the photobombing unicorn in the background.’

To End With,

Now that you are armed with the knowledge of ways you can react when a guy asks for your picture, you don’t need to panic anymore. Simply pick a response that you think most suitably fits the situation.

Some responses aim at being sarcastic and some responses are outright funny. The goal is still the same – to show that you have a good sense of humor and that you are fun to be with.
