Sounds to me that the little old man was a creepster of the first rank!

First thing that came to mind is that's exactly how sickos lure in their victims. Maybe I watch Forensic Files too much, but I'd suggest extreme caution.

I wouldn't be creeped out. Though I wouldn't accept his offer, either.

A little creepy, but I'd kind of be flattered at the same time.

It depends on the situation and who is asking me.

Would never get asked that. But do agree with the rest - completely inappropriate and not at all professional. (And - seriously - she moved TWO YEARS AGO and he just now comes around?? Did she really, or was he making shit up?)

No clue. I figured he was probably partially senile or something. I didn't really want to encourage him to stick around, so I didn't ask.

She moved away 2 years ago, and he was just coming to ask her to pose nude? Weird.

I find requests to pose nude from old men creepy even under less unusual circumstances. I work at an arts space that has life drawing with a nude model every Saturday morning and this one 70+ guy always calls before he comes to make sure the model is a woman (if it's a man he doesn't bother coming). One day he made the trip down and there was a male model, so he wandered out of the studio and asked if he could draw me instead! He obviously wasn't asking me to pose nude right there at work, but he'd just finished complaining about how much he wanted to see a female body... I wasn't going to offer mine, even with clothes on.

It's pretty creepy to use life drawing class as a way to oogle naked babes, especially if you go around bragging about it!

I think I'd be okay with posing nude, but it really was unsolicited and you had a gut reaction to the situation, maybe you were right.

Inappropriate. People shouldn't be hassling others at their place of work.

Regardless of the circumstances, an old man asking to take pictures of you naked is creepy.

I find it flattering, but it depends on the situation. Your scenario was a but odd

Unusual for sure. I've done some nude photography on both ends, so I'm probably more open minded, but I doubt I'd ever ask anyone at their job.

Noooo I'd be pretty creeped out.

I think that it entirely depends on the context. I've been asked several times to pose nude or to dance burlesque by strangers, but never have I particularly been creeped out, because it's always been in a supportive environ and I've always been made to feel like it's simply a compliment rather than a come on. I've never accepted and don't particularly want to, but I've never been particularly put off.

Depends a lot on the circumstances. In most cases though, it's gonna lean towards creepy

I ask people to pose nude all the time at my studio. Lol. Most of them say yes, but I hope the others don't think I'm creepy. But really, it depends on the situation and how professional the person goes about it.

If it was an artistic friend or acquaintance, I would be flattered. If it was a random man like in your situation, you bet your ass I would be creeped out!
