I recently talked to a female friend about a conflict she had with a female friend of hers about posts made on Facebook, that essentially involved her friend only posting certain pictures from a trip they took and untagging herself when the girl I knew posted the rest for her page. She confronted her about it finding it weird, and her friend confessed she thought my friend looked better, and didn't want people comparing them. So that's a instance I know of a girl avoiding post herself beside attractive friends. I've also had some pretty narcissistic guy friends along the way, so I'm willing to bet dudes do it.
Social media is tough. Maintaining a strange avatar/alternate reality can't be healthy. If a picture paints a thousand words, consider what the smiles aren't saying.
I always see girls trying to take pictures with a less attractive girl, to make them look better. in my opinion no matter what they do, they will still look average... no matter the surroundings 🤷
Okay, I think i've been on both sides as the ''average/ugly'' friend back when I had bad acne and was overweight and the ''attractive'' friend. Both times I have always prefered to be the pretty one in my pictures like I never intentionally posted pictures with friends i thought were better looking just to make myself look better. I think it's the opposite, when girls are choosing a group pic to post they are only looking at how they look not everyone else. I guess if they do choose a pic with the hotter friend would be on like tinder to trick men into swiping right. But that's foolish since at the end of the day it's not you who theyre attraced to so what's the point.
