What do you think about people who post revealing pics?

Question

I know this girl who recently started posting pics of herself in just her underwear in really provocative poses that just keep getting more extreme by the day. Now I'm all for female empowerment, and if that's what makes her feel good about herself then go for it, but why share it for the whole world to see? She has young cousins on her page that are looking up to her. She's also in school, and what if a professor or potential employer came across these. And yes, her page is public. What do you guys think about girls that do this?

I notice women often hypocritically post suggestive pics on dating apps and then scream “no hook ups” in their dating profiles. It’s like me having a pic of a stack of $100 bills while swiping right on 19 yr olds but yet saying “NO FREELOADERS. I’m not a sugar daddy.”

If I was posting pics of money/nice cars than people could rightfully criticize me for being materialistic. Then I shouldn’t be surprised when I have girls asking me to be a sugar daddy or they are gold diggers. You get a response to the message you communicate.

I don’t think women who post underwear pics and poses are “empowering themselves”. They are extremely insecure and are fishing for attention. But I’m sick of them complaining about sexual attention.

I don’t mind an occasional pic of them showing themselves in shape (one Max). I got really lean last year and even in my mid 30s I have visible 6 pack. Out of 6 pics (where I’m dressed nice) I have one pic shirtless. But is not my profile pic and I don’t make a big deal about it.

But still I’m fed up with this obsession some women have about “empowering” themselves by dressing half naked and then screaming #metoo just because a guy they don’t like stares them for longer than a second. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

I was actually looking for an answer to this question, but I think I’ll share my two cents with you. I’ve asked the same question to a friend of mine, she’s a psychologist, and she told me that it’s both exhibitionism and lack of self-esteem, most probably the latter leads to the former; they’re looking for validation and feel that exposing themselves in different states of “revealing” is the quickest way to validation, it’s surely quicker than obtaining validation through actual achievements, or well thought posts. Personally, I believe it’s a sign of lack of self-esteem and, as for this particular point, I think it would be impossible to set a general rule, the lack of said self-esteem can stem from multiple reasons, it’s a strictly personal matter, but I think it’s safe to say those people might have a “hole” in their life, in their personality, and they think they’re filling it with likes, comments and followers. I think. Because it’s very hard for me to put myself in their shoes, I really can’t see why they feel the need to be the object of the sexual desire of some perfect stranger somewhere in the world, or how this could possibly bring them happiness, I think it may temporarily anaesthetize the problem, until the next time, but it won’t fill that “hole”.

If you want to post a picture of yourself, go ahead, and its great that someone would have enough confidence and happiness in their body to do that. However, people do need to remember, as you say, that anyone can view these profiles, and it isn't very professional. If its done all of the time too, it may come off as quite vain and self-obsessed/attention seeking. The same goes for excessive bikini pics, even though a few here and there are fine. Also, although underwear isn't really a big deal, you wouldn't exactly be able to walk around in it in the outside world, so not entirely sure its wise to let the world see it just because its online. When you post a picture online, it ceases to really be yours and I think people should take that into account when they post anything.

They need help. A lot of them are depressed, have low self-esteem, some may have been raped in the past and have lost their self worse, like a few say they have I need of attention, some have met been abused in the past either by Family, a friend, somebody who they know. The most importantly a lot of them don't love themselves. And because sex cells they believe that the only way they can receive attention, love, and validation especially from Men. Not just society that that fall, the men that promote this for sex is at fault too.

Anonymous · Answer

Yeah it's weird to expose your body like that especially when you have family members following you on social media. I guess girls and young women today feel the need to show off a bit because they know eventually they'll get old and may as well show that off now to gain that attention because eventually as we get older we don't maintain that same youthfulness. It could be to experiment, to rebel and break free and display that sexuality, to gain attention from other guys, to make themselves feel better or whatever it may be... Maybe all. I have known girls like this before and usually and eventually girls will get sick of it through all the creepy DM's they get or rude comments they get in person. A may girl will self-reflect and say "why should I do this any more" some girls also realize once they have a boyfriend to just make him happy because its more special. Some girls embrace it and just do weird shit like cam sessions to get paid by guys or be a stripper or a porn star and those are the girls I lost respect for. They used their body to sell themselves and that is one of the ultimate sins.

JackSmy · Answer

No offense, but it is her life, and she chooses that for whatever reason. I also do not agree with a lady posting erotic/provocative/suggestive pictures, but who am I to judge her, or say what she should and shouldn't do! It's her right to live like she chooses, and if she was a friend, I would tell her I disagree, and why, but never try to control her, or tell her she shouldn't! That ruins friendships.
People have different perspectives and views on sexuality, and their bodies, and some are very open, and showing their beautiful bodies, while others assume a more modest, conservative way.
Neither is 'right' or 'wrong', just different.

scarlett774 · Answer

It’s her body so I think if she likes to show it off and that great we love when a woman is confident in her body, there’s no need to judge her because it’s her body and her choice, but just for her sake maybe she shouldn’t post too much provocative pics if her future employers could potentially see it. As for her young cousins seeing it so what a lot of girl are so insecure and can’t even post pics like that bc they are insecure I think she’s showing that she is a confident young woman who’s not afraid to show off her body that she probably worked hard for

DashboardLight · Answer

In that girl's case, I don't think it's a good idea, especially with young cousins looking at her page. However, I also think people have the right to post revealing pictures of themselves, no matter in what shape they are. But especially physically attractive people have to do all of this stuff to be just that (eat healthily, exercise regularly, good skincare). Doing all three things myself I can tell you it takes a lot of investment. Why can't they brag a bit when they've done so much to obtain a good body?

hellacray · Answer

I've never understood that. Like how is posting yourself like almost nude female empowerment?

I've seen a good amount of feminists complain about how women are sexualized in games. And they wear more clothes than what some people post on Instagram.

Like I still remember there was a whole controversy over Tracer's model in Overwatch about her butt. I mean she has all her clothes on and she's not doing anything sexual.

But people still complained about it.

This is why feminism is just so ludicrous.

JSmuve · Answer

"if that's what makes her feel good about herself then go for it, but why share it for the whole world to see"

Because all the comments and likes she gets from guys is what makes her feel good about herself. If a half-naked picture doesn't get any positive feedback, then does that mean she's not attractive? That'd be the question girls would be asking themselves. Surely, if she was attractive, guys would just be throwing their affirmations at her like old people throwing seeds at birds. Those girls subconsciously know that their attractiveness is measured by how much positive attention they get and they wind up depending on it in order to feel good about themselves. Take all that away from them and they'd wind up feeling horribly depressed, eating whipped cream straight out of the can while binge watching keeping up with the kardashians and crying about how they're not hot as Kim and her oversized ass. Sad.

Purpleronnie · Answer

Well it’s her choice , if she asked my opinion it wouldn’t be favourable but it’s up to her not me. Men and women clearly make a living out of being the object of desire , sharing it for the world to see and the reaction is likely to be a huge reason as to why she does it. Good for her. I don’t think anything about girls that do this , I see it all the time I’m pretty my desensitised by it

Cythera · Answer

I don’t get why it’s okay for models and celebrities/influencers to do this and it isn’t okay for society to do it. I think that it’s her decision and you could agree or disagree on how she goes about it. If you aren’t going to support the girl, let her be.

Madhatter920 · Answer

I think they want some kind of attention or validation to boost their self-esteem. The actual act of posting these pictures isn't a problem. It's only when people make a big deal out of it that it becomes a problem. Unfortunately, yes, some people will see it and take a negative opinion of her and use it as an excuse to treat her poorly. Personally, I couldn't care less.

lowell2593 · Answer

Unless she is trying to become a model I feel like its attention seeking. I feel like low self esteem is a common trait in people who do that. I dont feel its healthy to fill thay void with tons of attention on social media. I would make the same argument with dudes showing off muscles or whatever. True confidence is quiet, compansation is loud.

Gryft · Answer

I think its a cry for attention. Pure egoist and narcissism behavior. I am fairly confident and I dont mind takin my shirt off at the beach but damn sum girls are stupid about how they display their bodies in public. I realize its their body their right blahblah... but it just generally makes girls look sleuty and unintelligent... at least to me. But im the sort of weird dude who finds strip clubs disgustin and cares about these things called "feelings"... heheh

Jaximus-Lion · Answer

There is a lot of possibilities
Revenge, show off. just feel good body image, they already have sponsors and have to put this kinda of content, fishing for sponsors, body transform positive vibe, and so on. But mostly is for getting sponsors and likes

Sensmind · Answer

I have had a think about this , I presume when you say in school you are saying early 20s, not to be harsh they just don't think things out. You get loads of attention but not all attention is good, as you hinted employers trawl social media these days and maybe worse of all the people you bring into your universe might not be exactly what you intended. A lot of the concern is warranted , it is for their own good, one day they might have a daughter and understand where we are coming from

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

I think it's usually a sign of major insecurity and desperation, sadly.

I also personally think it's not a smart idea at all, as, like you said, a professor or employer could stumble upon it and it looks very unprofessional, and I can't imagine that at some point she won't regret it and since it's public, anyone can see it and save or screen shot the pictures.

MackToday · Answer

Girls make the huge mistake of thinking they're going to be glamorous movie stars by just stripping their clothes off or sleeping around. In reality men mock and despise women like that. They'll use them for sex and laugh at them behind their back. This girl is a fool no one thinks she's a star, they might brag on her if they're horny or something but they think she's a thot.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

For some it's professional gain, for some publicity, some do it for being popular or likes and most of them like out of jeaoulousy of other girls like she can do it I can do it like monkey see monkey do, and some do it for fun it has become sorta lifestyle for popular girls or those who wish to be popular

Godofbliss · Answer

I'd honestly find it sexy if she's confident with her body and is just enjoying how she looks.
But if it's the type that will check the number of likes and comments every few seconds on her pic instead of paying attention to her real life... then that reeks of desperation and is a gigantic red flag in my opinion...

Tomsta · Answer

They are wanting some form of attention. Whether its from guys or girls

Whether they are selling something (like lingere models) or revenge porn

Note im not calling them attention whores. Im merely stating if they are doing that they must know that they WILL get attentiom from guys and girls

Daniel3035 · Answer

I take naked pics but theyre for casual sex I rarely post a topless pic once in a while but not constantly its just for the attention and esteem boost it gives there's no other reason besides models advertising. To me, it tells me all I need to know the girl is not really worth all that if she does it.

More often than not they’re just begging for attention, and men on social media usually give it to them.

Levin · Answer

Professor or potential employer probably did come across those... I mean, what can we say? People want attention and validation. People are insecure. Social media brings out the worst.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

Once you post something like that online. It’s nearly impossible to remove it.

So there is a good chance people you might not want to see it will be able to.

Like your employer, coworkers, friends, family or etc.

cutler · Answer

she's okay with being objectified, so I would rate her on her features and whether or not I'd like to sleep with her. I wouldn't bother judging her character because I wouldn't want anything else from her if that's how she regards herself.

I'd be disappointed if it was someone I respected or cared about.

Anonymous · Answer

I’m all for it if it makes them feel good. I don’t think it’s anyone’s business what other people post online. If you don’t like the content, you don’t need to follow. It’s as simple as that

People have the right to post whatever they want to post , "you do you", but don't expect all the comments on your pic to be pure positivity, there will always be perverts and you reap what you sow.
