Do you respect girls who post pictures in bikinis or tiny outfits on social media?

Question

Would you want a girlfriend who did that?

Analinda1999 · Accepted Answer

this is all very arbitrary.

'yes its as long as as she is hot bc it shows he worked at it' no you can exercise and & eat well &work hard & still have an un attractive body.

'its ok as long as there's no private pars' private parts are only private bc people wear clothing. once taking off clothes is ok who cares what parts are exposed.

'its ok as long as its not attention seeking' lol no one posts a picture without being aware they are posting it.

'its ok if she does not have a boyfriend or if he does not mind' well if its ok its ok people do not have more or less right to be themselves based on having a relationship. we dont live in that world.

i think its rediculouus for anyone to care if a person posy pictures or not and if they need reasons to respect or not respect them, they will surely find them by getting acquainted. why look for reasons to judge without any proof.

At one time in my life I would've said no. cover your shit up and be modest and respectful.

but I have done some growing up since then. we should stop policing women's bodies and/or stop saying only certain types of bodies (thin and cishet) are worthy of being exposed in public places.

if for you, wearing bikinis and tiny outfits isn't comfortable by all means don't wear them and don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything you're not comfortable with. but on the other side of the coin don't talk people down who are comfortable and secure looking that way. you don't have to approve, but then again who asked you (the proverbial you)?

Stellastarling · Accepted Answer

well, it's really the girl's choice in my opinion. I mean who cares? As long as no creeps are hitting on her it's fine. At the most if this is your girlfriend or wife and you tell her that you feel uncomfortable when she does that as it gives other people a chance to see her body. So casually ask her if she could tone it down a little. But be very careful. She might, if you sound like she's being a baby she might be very defensive and post even more pictures like that. Which you don't want. However in terms of respect, no. Since, it's one's body and one can do whatever they want with it.

witherwing · Accepted Answer

Depends on the setting. There are two types of bikini pics - ones that are meant to show off your body in a subtle, but not so subtle way, and others are more about the event or situation that is going on where you just happen to wear a bikini.

Schrodingerscat · Accepted Answer

Personally, I'd never do that. Putting up my such pics on social media

And I assume most guys will say that they don't like their girlfriends putting up these pics, even though they 'like' pics of other girls who do so.

rkf_helps_247 · Accepted Answer

Well​ it's more than a respect thing. Um... how would i put it? you see males are in Constant competition with each other consciously or subconsciously to win a girl's heart. And after they do, they feel so protective over that girl and loves her a lot. So if she posts anything like that, then well, we get kinda jealous , because he feels that your​ body is only for him to see it and not for all the guys out there. And so, he gets a bit jealous. EVEN IF A GUY SAYS HE ISN'T, TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU. ALL GUYS GET JEALOUS WHEN SOMEONE HE LOVES IS TALKING TO ANOTHER GUY OR MAKING PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ANOTHER GUY AND POSTING STUFF ONLINE. This is coz mostly we feel threatened due to the fear of loosing you to their competition (ie the other guys).

Being_a_good_Indian · Accepted Answer

Tbh I dislike it and she can't be of my type. Respect then the answer is yes as it is their own life and they can do whatever they want to do. None of my business.

rjroy3 · Answer

I don't look down on them if that's what you mean. To me respect is something earned, but courtesy is freely given. Like I won't respect a guy just because he hasn't done something to earn my disrespect. He has to earn it one way or the other. It can be a simple as being a clear hardworker. Because hardwork is something I respect in a person. If a girl is a model for example and she's a successful model on instagram and she's using it to build a business. I respect the hell out of that. But if she's just some girl posting semi nudes online on the regular, I don't respect that. I think it's a poor decision, but I don't respect it. I just don't look down on her either tho.

Like this fitness model Haley Jade or Nicole Mejia on instagram. Respect both of them. They post/posted a lot of somewhat skimpy photos in the past. But they're also high quality photo shoots that they used specifically to build a fitness business. That's respectable.

think_logic85 · Answer

This is my Personal opinion on that matter.

Your body is special to you, whenever you share it with someone else, it means you are sharing something special with someone you love, that is restricted and isn't put on display for everyone else, that is something unique.

Do you know how prostitutes work? They lure you in with some skin and revealing clothes, they put their body on display.

Someone who puts their body on display like that, isn't unique at all.

In short no, I do not want a girlfriend like that.

LaFemmeFatale · Answer

Do you respect men who post topless pictures from the beach in their swimsuits? I do because I have no reason to not respect them unless I know them personally.

Why do you have so double standards?
Girl who posts a pic with bikini is slut so?
Everyone who thinks so is insecure and is jealous.

peachblossomluck · Answer

Here's a double standard and I'm a woman with this double standard but I'm going to keep it real: I respect a woman with a beautiful body who posts a classy bathing suit photo as opposed to a woman with a gross looking body who posts a really tacky photo. You know the difference! And there is always some thirsty guy who likes the tacky and nasty woman's photo and that's when I lose any respect I had for him. And I try to have respect for people but that's asking too much from 🍑 🌸 Luck 💕

Musicgeek21 · Answer

No. literally anyone can see things posted on the internet and a woman should treasure her body and hold herself to higher standards. The only thing those pictures do is invite other men to lust after them. Women love that attention, but its all negative and temporary. Post a hobby, an achievement or something you're proud of. The intricacies of your body are for your partner and yourself, no one else.

Aimer07 · Answer

Personally... I'd feel that they are girls seeking attention from guys and it works but not in a good way... depending on how provocative they are and how much they post... guys may try to hit on them not to get into a serious relationship but hoping they will get laid as most guys see them as desperate for attention... and serious guys don't hit on girls that everyone is after her body. I personally don't bother seeking a relationship with girls like this because I don't want a girl that tons of guys are already hitting on her.

masterotaku · Answer

Respect isn't quite the right way to think about this. You should respect someone's right to do whatever they want on social media.

Having said that, it appears that many girls over do this because they may be seeking affirmation in an unhealthy manner. it usually seems to be extreme in girls who don't like themselves regardless of how objectively attractive they might be.

if it were a friend or a girlfriend I'd merely want to be assured that wasn't the case.

no need for judgement. but being kind and compassionate? always.

Anonymous · Answer

It definitely depends on the kinds of outfits and kinds of pictures, along with how often this is happening. I personally don't love the idea of my girlfriend posting these pictures on social media, because in a way it attracts men who have no respect for our relationship. On the flip side, because I feel that way, I also don't post shirtless pictures or pictures of me working out, etc. Because it's a two way street for us.
As far as the bikini pictures go. If she's on vacation with me or at the pool with me or I'm in the picture, no problem at all!
So it definitely depends on how skimpy the outfit, and the context of the pictures.

Charlotte0204 · Answer

I personally believe a decent girlfriend would not be doing this. She should not want attention from other boys, and if anything would only send them to u personally through messenger, because they're not exactly nudes, but something u can enjoy privately without other men gawping at your girl.

Anonymous · Answer

If it is posted for attention then I would not respect that choice. If the picture in a bikini is just to show that it was a fun day at the beach, then I would see nothing wrong with that. I also think that girl posting pics in a classy but revealing little dress is ok. But posting pictures where she is dressed like a cheap hooker would make me loose respect.

I have mixed feelings about dating a woman who posts pictures like that. I would feel proud to be dating a woman who looks good in a bikini. On the other hand, I probably would get a little jealous if the picture results in a lot of comments from guys.

Randomgirl284 · Answer

Who cares if I respect you, has self-respect gone out the window? You don't need to take your clothes off to prove you're confident in your body. How do women call themselves feminists when they walk around in short shorts and crop tops? They say they don't want to be treated like sex object then post a provocative picture... Tbh I'm apathetic to it all but please someone tell me I'm not the only one who thinks its just a little hypocritical..

artie1983 · Answer

I can't say I would appreciate a girlfriend doing it unless it was her career and it paid her share of the bills lol. I can see why single girls might do it for the attention and whatever follows. But why not respect yourself and leave a little more to the imagination so a guy wants to get to know you instead of just judging you first on your body? God, I sound like my mother!!!

liamgall95 · Answer

I think it depends on how they use those pictures. If, for example, they're on holiday in the Maldives and post a bikini selfie saying "love it here in the Maldives" that's totally fine... but what annoys me is when girls post up a picture of them in a bikini or tiny outfit, just for the sake of posting that picture to get likes... most of the time they don't even have a caption! it's just fishing for compliments, likes and showing off they're body!

MimoFino · Answer

My wife should be a princess. Would a princess do that?

ElissaDido · Answer

That's not something I would personally do mostly out of respect for my (conservative) family since I have them on my social media but also because I wouldn't feel comfortable exposing that much on the internet (I don't even wear bikinis to begin with). But I seriously don't care or think of it when another girl does it, unless she is in a suggestive and provocative pose.

Robsinsf53 · Answer

Of course, at my age and experience in life, I respect everyone who shows me respect. Also I'm secure enough with myself to where I wouldn't mind if my girlfriend modeled outfits on social media. But the problem that I might have is with today's people out there. Lot of crazy fucks out their.

Kiels01 · Answer

people can do what they want, i personally am not attracted to attention seekers though

rep56 · Answer

Of course! There is nothing wrong with flaunting the nice body they have. If they do not have the best of bodies, I give them more respect still. I think looking at girls like that on social media is nothing wrong. Girls also look at hot guys without shirts, no? Hahaha. :P. If they are nice, humble and good looking it is a great combo as well.

fabulouspancakes · Answer

My respect for someone isn't based on how much of their body they show.
I'm a straight girl, but hypothetically if my boyfriend or girlfriend was frequently posting very provocative pictures on social media (more than just like a beach pic), I'd want to talk about it and ask why. I'd feel like maybe they wanted other people to think they were single, which would bother me a bit. But it wouldn't make me not respect them, and ultimately I'd respect their decision to post what they wanted.

u2___ · Answer

Two questions- two responses. To the former, I reply irrelevant! To the latter, I reply irrelevant! Let me explain.

There are many schools of morality. I follow predominantely modern morality wherein a person's choice is theirs (intentional singular) as long as it directly does not harm another person.

My respect for another person is based on how they treat others and has nothing to do with the pictures they choose to post. My choice of a companion is fuelled by millions of choices, none of which have anything to do with this situation.

One cannot own another person and one should not wish to do so. According to my school of morality, there is nothing wrong with posting a picture of yourself.

It could be that somebody wants to address the body shaming culture, somebody wants to incourage people to not feel ashamed about their body, or somebody could just be looking for validation. The reason therein too, again, is irrelevant.

AlexaBanks · Answer

First of all I'm a girl but bi leaning to women, so I hope what I say is still valid.

A bit of both. I respect her bravery but can't really shake the thought that she's just trying to get a guy using sexual attraction.

Would I want a girlfriend who did it? Not for that alone, but ir wouldn't be off putting. On one hand she's confident, adventurous and likely attractive. On the other I'm not at all special to be able to bask in her beauty.

Red_Arrow · Answer

My basis for respect is what kind of a person is she? Is she nice? Does she speak kindly to people? Is she helpful? Those would determine if I respect her. What pictures she posts of herself would not determine if I respect (or dis-respect) her.

IdkJustNeedHelp · Answer

Who cares? Honestly. It's her body and she can do whatever she wants with it. Doesn't make her any less respectable in my opinion. People need to stop shaming other people for being happy with themselves. Doesn't mean she's "slutty" or an "attention whore". She's just a person, living her life freely. As she should. That's all.

zombiebabe · Answer

if i was a guy and my girlfriend was doing that... she won't be my girlfriend anymore.. i won't date some attention wh*re

isolduin · Answer

I dont like people who dont respect themselves and show their nudity (or almost nudity) to a whole world, so nope i dont respect them since they dont respect themselves. Of course i would never have a girlfriend who does it. The same goes for clothes you wear in public.

kilowatt04 · Answer

I actually don't see the need to wear more than a bikini for casual wear. Additonal clothes have the purpose of providing functional skin protection if you're at work or if it's cold out. If those things are not going on, then there is no reason not to wear a bikini. And if you have a good picture in one, there is no reason not to post it on social media.

CBednarz · Answer

I guess it just depends. If they're doing it to be slutty in any type of way, you know those girls that sexualize themselves, I lose respect. But other girls do it just because they are happy and bold and love themselves, and don't do it every time they take a selfie... those are the girls that I respect and envy sometimes

matchrestore · Answer

Firstly, I have a baseline level of respect for all people, unless you do something to really mess that up (I think only two people I know have done that). Second, I base my respect for a person on how they treat me, how they treat others, and their personality in general. Photos on social media do very little to influence my opinion, and the only way what a girl is wearing would make me think less of her is if it promotes violence, is sexist, racist, homophobic, or otherwise hateful.

Sburkeua370 · Answer

It's a double edge sword. you want someone who is good looking and confident, but also want someone that is conservative and trust worthy. And depends on context of picture bc if it's to just get attention, sexual in nature, defitinly not good. but if you both went to beach t9 hang out, then yeah by all means bc guys like to feel like they have that one girl that every guy wants

paigebarlow · Answer

Being a 15 y/o girl, you don't expect to hear this: No, I do not respect them. It's one thing if it's a casual picture with your friends on the beach or whatever but you can definitely tell when it's being posted to show off. I'm in a situation at the moment where my best friend likes this one girl I dislike, and everyone says she's so sweet. But looking through her photos of her bra and underwear and her in a bikini taking a mirror selfie, it takes that all away. All I see it a girl looking for attention. And that doesn't calculate as "sweet" to me. It just shows me that she's not very humble as a person and humility matters to me.

Kabsklwbsv · Answer

Put it this way if she thinks it's respectable and acceptable for her to do that then it should also be OK for me to like and comment on bikini girls as well? But you know girls wouldn't accept that now would they.
Those pics only serve one purpose and that's to attract attention.. Attention threatens strength of the relationship

RachelleDraws · Answer

Nope. I'd hate if she did something like this. (It's not something that she'd ever do and she doesn't even use social media (Unless discord counts) but I'd still be upset with that) I'd upset me that she would post pictures of herself wearing something revealing, when I don't even have a photo of her in a bikini (or anything less)

Sasisen · Answer

I would respect their choice of post but only as long as the picture itself is tasteful/respectful.
I mean social media is accessible by anyone who has an internet connection and that includes kids as well (no matter how controlling the parents are kids find ways to do things they're not supposed to)
So I think as long as the picture can be shown to a kid while preserving their innocence, then there's no issue. 😊

wittymilf · Answer

Good question, I feel less respect towards women who do this if it's out of context. For example her Facebook profile pick versus her private Insta gram. If you won't to post something sexually provocative at least admit that's the attention your after aswell, because you also see chicks ranting about objectification under a barely clad profile pick, I have no respect for that women, as she doesn't have the confidence to own her prowess.

Anastasiya00 · Answer

I think it depends on the picture. If its underwear it does not speak well of them. If its a bikini AND in the proper place like at the beach or at a pool its fine. also on the position. Not the same if a girl has a picture of herself in a bikini, just smiling and just a normal position like just standing there, and a girl doing a provocative position (putting her ass out, pressing boobs and putting tongue out etc) and putting an angle where you can see it more

prince1102 · Answer

I understand girls mostly do that to help their self esteem, it doesn't bother me at all when a girlfriend does it except for the one rare girlfriend who it was important to her that she get likes whenever she posted something and it would bother her if she didn't.

Jemini_Crocket · Answer

Posting pics of themselves on their social media doesn't influence if I do or do not respect them.

I think guys really enjoy looking at these pics but wouldn't want their girlfriend to do that. And vice versa.
Also, every once in a while to post one such a pic is fine but the whole page being filled with them seem that it belong to attention seeking person.

Itsjustsomeguy · Answer

I respect those girls even more for putting themselves out there like that. I value a relationship with women that do more than women that don't because it says that they're not afraid of their sexuality. That is the kind of woman who isn't afraid to live her life the way she wants 😍

jess53139 · Answer

I dont because I have a boyfriend who gets those pictures. Not for everyone to see. Also, I wouldn't want family members includong uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. to see my body

ThisDudeHere · Answer

There's nothing to respect or disrespect about that. I would only find it problematic if it's habitual and it makes up the majority of their social media postings. But the occasional bikini shot is all well.

guy42069 · Answer

I think its kind of slutty if you do it in a relationship but if you're single its still slutty, but less-so. Same with dudes but in stead of being slutty its fuckboy-ish. Its their account though so its whatever.

Anonymous · Answer

if it's just a picture of them having fun out on a beach or something, that's understandable, but it bugs me when girls take selfies dressed like that just for the attention. it's sad to see their self worth is dependent on others validation of their physical appearance.

Anonymous · Answer

It would depend on the photos and the context of them. Taking a picture in a bikini woth your friends on occasion is one thing. Taking a picture with your friends going out for a drink is one thing. Taking pictures while posing half naked or nude all the time is another.

The first two instances I wouldn't mind the last one would probably show some sort of insecurity to me and would be a turn off.

Grace_Rdz · Answer

No, such sluts, they are. Definitely not girlfriend material. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

hlab3 · Answer

No, I don't. Those kinds of people only want attention.

11dog22 · Answer

I don't know. It make me jealous but put that energy into her more lol

nojokecarmichael · Answer

Yep, especially when they're comfortable in their own skin.

MrMouse · Answer

I'd hate it. If she just happens to be wearing a bikini I wouldn't like it, but I'd accept it. But I wouldn't want her posing and such for bikini pictures. I don't want other people seeing that much of her, nor do I want other guys to have the sort of thoughts that inspires.

cinderelli · Answer

unless she's not posing in some provocative way.. there's nothing wrong with wearing bikinis and posting pictures.. guys post shirtless pictures and show off their abs and stuff.. would you respect a guy less because he's shirtless in some picture? stop being sexist to your own gender

Justinaveragedude · Answer

it depends, is this like a beach picture? is this a picture where the tiny outfit makes sense? or is this a self in the bathroom showing off the bikini? Is this picutre so I will look at your body or look at what is going on in your life?

If you are just fishing for likes, not really. If you are sharing your life. Then yes I respect that.

bboo22 · Answer

Yes! It's summer szn so everyone can expect to see many bikini posts. I think there's nothing wrong with it. Just a girl confident in herself lookin good. Like go you!🎉

Thatoneguy5526 · Answer

I would not have a whole lot of respect for her since girls who do that tend to be deeply insecure about their lives and see value in their their body. Granted I am not shaming those who are proud of their bodies, as everyone should feel proud of their bodies, but if that is all that she posts on social media, I would not be okay with her being my girlfriend.

JustCallMeLeon · Answer

Im already engaged to one. Posting bikini and revealing pics doesn't mean you're a slut. For example my girl is really proud of her gym progress and if people see that its a great motivation for her. I dont care. I dont care if she posted nudes to be honest. I trust her and i know that no matter how many guys see her butt the only one that she wants to, and gets to fk it is me.

devonthedude · Answer

I don't mind if my girlfriend is in pictures in her bikini on social media if its not too provocative. Living by the ocean makes that a pretty normal thing. That being said I wouldn't want to date the type of girl that puts those pics in her dating profile to try to get guys, that's just desperate.

Najoub · Answer

she can post half naked pics and still be a virgin until marriage, while she can post pics with non-revealing outfits and sleep with all the boys in town.

lucasnabizada · Answer

Euh Yes... I mean what about guys showing themselves shirtless all the time only in shorts... DOES THAT BOTHER YOU? Not me... I can respect anyone, who does that and they even have props for not being insecure about their body which is sometimes a big problem

Anonymous · Answer

See this is a question of perspective, and it's really easy to understand.
First of all respect has got nothing to do with the type of pictures on the Facebook, the intention with which the pictures are posted will judge that, if someone is just showing off her body to attract n number of guys , it won't just be on her social media, it will be everywhere around her.
About the second question, see it's like that, if I see a picture I like obviously I would want her to be mine, but if my own girlfriend has posted something, no matter what anyone says a little bit of jealousy factor is going to come into play

DJB1993 · Answer

Depends on the context. If people want to post photos on the beach or in the pool that's fair enough, but people who post photos just to show off their white bits tend to not have much self esteem or respect

Mr_Kapstar · Answer

Well, in my honest opinion, if you dont have anything to show you wouldn't be posting it, so a lot of girls post these pictures to show guys how hot they are (at least the girls I know of).

But it's not the end of the world for me since I sometimes post my gym progress shirtless.

12mayanks · Answer

A girl who can post such pics is definitely having a good level of self confidence. but sometimes some just seem to do for social status or appearance. if it's the latter it's bad.
but other wise definitely high respect. a girl who can embrace one self, definitely in the boat to row the life with her.
