Would you want a girlfriend who did that?
Do you respect girls who post pictures in bikinis or tiny outfits on social media?
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)?

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.

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.

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.
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).

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.

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. -
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. -
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. - 845 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic.
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 💕

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.
-
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.
-
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. -
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. -
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.
-
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. -
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..
-
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!!!
-
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!
-
My wife should be a princess. Would a princess do that?
-
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.
-
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.
-
people can do what they want, i personally am not attracted to attention seekers though
-
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.
-
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. -
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.
