I voted C. I'm not one of those people who needs the world to always see or know I'm in a relationship. If I'm dating a woman and she doesn't want me to post anything with her on SM, then I don't do it. If she's okay with it, I will still do it sparingly, and never any of the cliche pics of two people hugging their brains out or sharing a goofy selfie together.
People tend to post their relationships on social media to show off, as you said. In reality, none of us really has any solid reason for showing that other than wanting people to know that someone loves us, wants us, and is having sex with us. And people also do it to get under the skin of an ex or someone else to make them jealous or regretful. I will admit that in years past, I did do that too a few times. But where I am now? It's neither necessary or what I really feel I want to do by broadcasting a relationship. It should largely stay personal.
Also, people shouldn't really be doing that a lot because when a relationship ends, you are probably going to feel stupid that you have all those pics on your page of that now-ex, and you will satisfy another ex who is still watching you.
Currently I don't have a partner but when I did I still didn't like posting on social media, it's just not my thing.
I don't post my single photo online. I don't know, I just like my privacy.
I used to want to show it off but now I think it's not really anyone's business. People show off anything these days (their house, their baby, their new car, etc.). It's a SEA of people showing off and trying to one up others because they have that thing that someone else doesn't have.
I am mostly over that shit. Plus, one day they are talking marriage and babies, the next they are breaking up and fighting. It's ridiculous to say the least. Especially with that type of relationship. I for one, don't get into relationships to show it off. Maybe a lot of people should do the same? I don't know. Oh well lol.

If we are actually in a relationship, I like showing it off but anything that isnβt that, I prefer on the low. We donβt need to be painting imagines to others about what is going on when thereβs no set plan of it becoming something more
I like to keep it on the DL. Even in public, I used to get embarrassed when kissing in public. People stare! This one time when I was dating my friend Paige, we were at the mall and she kissed me (That girl was a great kisser!) and this old lady and her husband walked by and said "How cute!"
Paige laughed and I said "I'm out!" but then she just couldn't get enough and pressed her lips back against mine and we started doing it again (She was such a good kisser, I forgot why I was embarrassed in the first place!)
Social media is such a joke. This is just my opinion, but I think people just use it to brag about their "Happiness".
The extent of my social media posts with the exception of GaG is 3 pictures on Instagram other then that I have zero social media presence anywhere. Unlike other people I don't give a rats ass about clout, votes or whatever it is people give you online these days from complete strangers on the internet for posting things.
whenever I have a partner I might post the occasionally picture or something for their sake but other then that I don't feel the need to share my love life with random people never have in any of my relationships.
I donβt tell people my personal stuffβ¦unless the conversations lead to it.
the only social media I use is gag.
a few of my gag friends know that I met my husband here in on gag 6 years agoβ¦few also have talk over the phone. Other than thatβ¦I keep my personal life private.
I never share anything about love with my partner. I used to find it so cringe when all my friends would post all these lovey dovey pictures and then a few months later post with a new guy and the same the next time and write "This is the love of my life" for the 3rd guy this year.. 🥴
Social media is cancer. I like using anonymous and pseudo-anonymous forums but social media and influencer culture is a cancer so I deleted every social media profile I used to have. If I want to stay in contact with people, I have their phone number and they have mine.
No. I post one picture once in a while i. e. birthdays or Holidays for my family to see it but that's it.
People constantly posting their every move and what they eat and drink is very annoying.
Far better to always fly under the radar. People don't need to know your business.
Me & mine no need to show off in public platform with pictures, but we share with friends and family.
We don't mind anyone taking our pictures in public when we kissing each other or making love or my girlfriend wearing sexy revealing and exposure outfits, in fact my girlfriend love showing off her revealing sexy attractive body.
I used to love showing off, because I was so proud of him.
But I have learned itβs better to keep it on the low.
People do not need to know how happy I am.
Single currently but Iβve never been a fan of showing of my love life online.
Like close friends and family will sometimes know about it and of course I do ask for advice sometimes but for the most part I avoid exposing my love life.
I don't show off... I'm waiting for the relationship that has made 3 years at least then I might share a status eith them but no load of things I might have to stress to delete later.
As of right now Iβm single, so I donβt really pay attention to peoples love life, and I donβt think people should be saying it online. But if itβs not that personal then Iβll read it.
We post a lot of pictures of us out together. But we don't post things like "I'm out with my beautiful wife".
I voted 'no comment'.
Here's my comment:
I plead guilty of making it no secret that I have a dear partner.
'Show off'? - no; what for?
Generally no. My love life is something I like to keep mostly private. People ruin beautiful things, intentionally or not, so those things I hold most dear I keep close to my heart.
I am single at this time. Still when I do have a love in my life I keep it low profile.
Social media was not even a thing when I was dating but there is no way I would be doing that.
No, I'm pretty private when it comes to social media.
Yeah why not show it off? Maybe some things I'd keep private though
Im no longer on sm other than gag. These platforms have made people more dostant in real life and more hooked up in digital world.
