I'd be hesitant to conclude that Mr. Nice Pics wants to stick his dick in me right away. Assigning such negative motives to people tends to have ill consequences. Ask me how I know.

Personally, if I was trying to strike up an acquaintance with somone, I'd mention more than how attractive I thought they were with my first sentence. And then maybe write something about them, about me. Something to indicate deeper interest than physical.
I try not to assign negative motives to people, but when it becomes such a trend, and they all start with "hey, nice pics" or "hey, nice pix", I start pigeon-holing.

This is true.
However, I'm not, nor have I ever been, one of those girls. The closest I come to being sexual in a picture is in the one my profile here. 95% of my female friends do not engage in such party pictures, either. But we all receive the same messages.
Now, if I, or any of them, was posting those type of party pictures and receiving "hey, nice pics" messages, there would not be much to complain about.
Also, posting pictures to one's Facebook is, while with external intent, a solo, internal activity that does not need to be acknowledged by any friends. Sending half-assed messages to people is a social, external event, and therefore more violating, if anything. (Though violating is too strong a word, it's what I've got right now.)

It's not shocking.
I actually mentioned that in the OP. Casting a wide next. Twenty girls in twenty minutes, costing nothing, etc.
And this wasn't in reference to any particular male, but a collection of experiences over the years, as posted in the OP.
