There could be a number of reasons.
They may be proud of their appearance and, much like male body builders, enjoy showing off the fruits of the work it took to attain it.
They may simply be proud of their natural assets and enjoy being admired. This would go along with their appreciation for the female form. After all, why do so many women wear sexy clothing ranging from tight business skirts, to formal gowns, to skin-tight jeans and skimpy T-shirts, to bikinis? Why do so many women wear high heels or push up bras? In the case of many of those women, it's because they are comfortable in their skin, have high self esteem, and are confident in their power as females. They are proud of being bad ass.
One very good reason would be to make money. They may be looking to get discovered by modeling agencies or hired by Instagram, for example.
They may be seeking social media fame with record numbers of clicks or 'likes'.
It may be that they are exhibitionists.
They may be trolling for equivalent men with whom to engage in sex.
They may be trolling for sugar daddies.
They may be insecure and need praise.
Maybe they do it because the practice is currently popular. If their friends and others do it, why shouldn't they?
In any case, I have no problem with such women, whatever their motives. I can choose to look at them or not.
We humans appreciate the female form above all others. Men, in particular, have memorialized it in art since the dawn of time, though literature, paint, sculpture and, most recently, photography. Why shouldn't a young woman memorialize herself, especially when she is a stunningly beautiful flower in the prime of her life?
I'm happy that women have been liberated to do and wear what they want. They are no longer restricted to the single option of marrying and being housewife and mother.
More power to these young women! May they live their own lives, have fun, make mistakes, learn from experience, and find fulfillment. All the slut shamers, insecure and bitter people can eat their hearts out.
Best explanation here. You didn't answer with some one sided negative opinion. You showed that there is both negative and positive reasons why women take sexy pics and show the world. Great answer.😎
Thank you so much, PinkMichae.
Because we live in a narcissistic world with apps like instagram and tinder that have been designed for women who want to whore themselves in front of a camera. When society tell women that they have to get naked to get attention then women will do exactly that. When you place all women in a specific environment they all behave the exact same way, NO exception because they fear social exclusion more than death. In a world dominated by instagram women have two basic ways to get all the attention 1. get naked and 2. commit a felony. Not so long ago we saw a Polish e-whore erasing 500 years of history by destroying a cultural monument live on cam. All for few hundred more likes on social media. It's all about "heeeey look at meee! Im beautiful and sexy! give me money!"
No exceptions?
Not all women care about being socially included. I live in social exclusion & want no part of what is happening on social media. I have a few friends & keep my group small very small & at times there are none. I won't have low quality people around to bring social plagues to my home. I live a happy & simple life. No cable tv no home internet no influence from the massive flood of sickness that people spread to one another. The way peolpe treat others is apalling at best. If you are good to someone they value you less & they will leave you broken because they are broken. Give a man all he wants in a woman & he doesn't want her. I refuse to be like the rest that out there, they think too highly of themselves to ever put the good of another equal with they're own. Attention seeking is just bullshit to make you feel better about chooseing to be less than you can be. Hold yourself accountable for what you do here & now as well as the effects on others. We are creating a hell for the upcomming generatins. They will have no idea of what being accepted for themself & being happy to be themselves is like. They will never have or be what they see is out there so they will be miserable with themself. When they are already enough as is & rightfully be should be accepted for who they are. Not to be ashamed of their own uniqueness.
@Bonney you are an exception. The millions of sheep on Instagram are what he is talking about.
Most people on social media like Instagram just seek validation. It's just a competition to see who has a more interesting life, who has more money to travel, who eat the cooler food, who party harder every weekend, who goes to more events, who's more popular, who's hotter, who has the funnier or the cutest pet... These girls are obviously seeking validation about their body and some might even compete to be popular and be considered hotter.
Despite I don't like to be part of this way to socialize, I think the part of seeking validation it's not all completely wrong, as we humans are social animals and we tend to seek validation from people around us naturally now and then. The problem comes when is constant validation everyday and never is enaugh, and they start giving stranger opinions as much or more importance that those around us who love us. That talks about a too serious low esteem and emotional dependency on others.
But in some cases some girls might be instragrammers, and work as models, and do this because it's what they know the followers might want or what could increase followers. So not only validation but marketing strategies if this is the way they get money.
Attention, profit, followers, subscribers, I could go on and on. If you enter Instagram you'll notice that the girls with the most followers are either celebrities or girls that most of their photos are sultry, either in underwear, bikini or even half naked. They take advantage of our sex centered society and make a huge living out of it. Some examples of what I'm saying are Sommer Ray, Alexis Ren, and many others. If the girl isn't doing it for any of the previously mentioned the reasons, then she's just fishing for compliments. It's common knowledge that if someone looks good and they know they look good then they simply want validation.
I used to be so jealous of the girls who were so skinny from my high school who got all of the likes and comments of guys saying that they were “gorgeous” and “hot” and the magazine look of “perfect”. But honestly, most of them had horrible personalities. Now, I have a boyfriend who treats me wonderfully and he thinks I’m beautiful inside and out and loves me. And now that I’m out of high school, the likes and comments? NONE of that shit matters to me. As long as I have my family and my boyfriend, I don’t need anyone else.
good to hear
Hell yeah you go girl!
They want attention and validation. It’s fucking annoying and makes us all look bad.
Be confident in who you are and that'll take you a lot further been pretty pictures on the internet
@Monicatimourlove 100% true.
Why girls are so insecure even though they are hot? They always want attention and want to be liked.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Because men like it. That's the only way they can never receive attention from a man, and any man that says otherwise it's obviously a liar. We wouldn't be having porn if that was the case. It's no different. It's just low grade porn and internet prostitution without the payments. It's ingrained into our society and now it became normal.
Ever recieve*
Men like it for a quick glance but at the expense of valuing said woman. Ie i check out every girl that dresses like a ho for sure. But i assume they are hos and treat them as such. My current girlfriend im with precisely because she never posted a pic like this on her social media. I dont date hos.
The problem with you men is that you give them attention. And then you disrespect the person that you say you're with. I would not want to be involved with a guy who does such a thing. You should not be treating a woman that way whether they are that or not. They're only like that because you validate exactly what they assume about themselves and that's why they don't change.
tbh I don't think it's bad to wanna show off because you know you're beautiful and I don't think it makes us look bad at all like how many girls you know look like that if you wanna take a sexy picture then take one you shouldn't have to be told you don't have respect for yourself by taking one I feel like take should only be based on how they act they wouldn't post pictures if they weren't confident with themselves people act like this so fucking bad but it's really not these women can have amazing personalites and views on life I'm pretty sure being called a whore and a slut aren't one of them
It is a display of worthess vanity to parade those kinda picture for all to see. In doing so you show there is nothing you hold sacred in yourself, you are so insecure & undeveloped personally that you have nothing to show but your bare body. In the end no one cares, the attention doesn't fix what you hate in yourself & are missing that makes you have zero self worth. Id a rich man gives away all his money, is he rich? No. If a woman showes herself to the world she gives everyone the things that make her a woman, her self image. Would you want to drive the same car as everyone else? No you'd want to be diffrent therefor special, you loose your specialness in showing yourself like that.
well you see it that way and it's ok people can see it as being positive or being negative I find as her being confident in herself and people bring them down because they don't feel confident in themselves and you wouldn't lose "speacialness" that sounds dumb ASF just because someone shows of their body that doesn't make them worthless
Showing ones body does not make up ones worth to others it just states what you are worth to yourself & that its about all you are proud of in yourself.
He may let you think that. Deep down he is happy though
They get positive feedback for it. It's that simple.
Just slutty things, they are trying to get attention from guys.
It’s mostly because they are getting rich this way. They’re hustling and dominating the internet right now.
That’s exactly it in a nut shell
So not that mine are anything like the ones you showed in examples but I do it sinply because it arouses me. I am an exhibitionist so being admired gets me hot.
Nothing wrong with that. And you're right. It can be a turn on.
Ego boost similar to some guys posting about their fancy stuff. It’s just so strangers go ohh I like. It’s common I don’t really care either way. If I don’t like it I stop looking
Because it's fashionable
Knowing that it drives you boys wild. And it makes them feel sexy to dress and pose. I really don't see an issue with it.
Its a version of the mating display but I go for the egotist attention seeking - Ask them which they prefer 5 desirable men give a positive response or 10,000 "Likes" on Instagram.
They subconsciously know the audience or the "Likes" they are chasing and provocative/sexy pose gets the attention of the people they want more than their latest chemistry assignment.
It all depends. Some women post provocative pictures because they are confident in their skin, some do it because they simply want to, others do it to gain confidence, etc. There are many many reasons.
It's all about the money or getting the high to make money. Well almost all mowen
And that was women, sorry
@Monicatimourlove I believe I know any women, personally, who post provocative pictures to make such a weighty claim like yours
Usually they’re bored and they want attention
I have some female friends who, no matter what I say about how pretty they are or that they don’t need to act like this, they just act like no one loves them. It’s annoying AF because these are the women that get the most attention too.
A lot of women are not naturally confident or have high self esteem so many seek validation the wrong way. This makes the rest of us look bad.
But maybe these women are confident. If they weren't confident they wouldn't put up pics of themselves. When you lack confidence and are insecure you don't show off your body. Its natural to hide your insecurities. Not flaunt them. So maybe your friends like the attention from guys and the guys like to give it. That has nothing to do with you and is not hurting you or making you look bad. That's like saying women shouldn't wear make up because it makes natural women look bad. And it doesn't. Not all guys like make up. Just like not all guys want to take a woman who poses sexy and takes pics home to meet mom and dad. So you are gonna be fine. If it makes your friends happy to takes sexy pics of themselves then let them be happy.😎
Maybe some of them just want to?
Others want attention, affirmation, seek to make money from it etc - a myriad of different reasons.
Many reasons but the underlying one is always a form of attention seeking, whether to boost their ego, feel desidable, get compliments or prove their worth if their body is the only thing they can be proud of.
My personal point of view (which I'm probably going to get a lot of grief for). Every girl she her different reasons. For me, I do it because I don't feel great about myself & especially undesired in my marriage. If some random man finds me attractive then I love that & it makes me feel a bit better. So I gain by feeling better & I guess the guy likes seeing about more of me than he would otherwise have done.
If you want to be more desired by your husband you have to be the rare woman who he fell for. Men always want the best they can get. You gotta remember what it was about you that made him see you as the best woman he could find & be her again. Seeking validation from other guys makes him desire you less. You gotta be all about him & no other men. Fuel his ego, make him feel like he's a champ, the best man ever because he is, after all he has you, the best woman ever. Be nothing but positive, let all negatives slide by. Praise everything he does well, praise praise praise & he will desire you like never before & you'll feel like a totally new woman. Be the prize you are, everyone is not a winner & everyone doesn't win a prize so don't give away the prize that you are for free, for every man to look at.
I have been trying for quite some time @Bonney. It's like he just doesn't want me in that way no matter what I try. I guess I wanted to see what other guys thought because I was thinking it must just beme not being attractive anymore.
If he's not listening you gotta show him. Actions rarely lie as words often do. Be his cheerleader. Show him you are all about him. Delete your social media accounts & tell him you don't need other mens approval, just his because he is your king & he wears your crown. You'll get his undivided attention deleting all social media accounts. You'll also be a lot happier too.
Most probably do it for attention.
It's definitely for attention, but not for a positive self-esteem boost. It's an ego boost. Sometimes it's great, but a lot of times it's just irritating.
Attention
That's it
