Why do girls post thirst trap pics what’s the purpose?

[GoGetitGio]

Why do girls post thirst trap photos? What’s the purpose? What are they looking to accomplish? Are they looking to get some guys attention? Or is it just attention in general? Do they just want likes? What’s the point? The other day my mom was laying out by the pool in her thong bikini With her friend, her friend took pictures like provocative pictures of my mom in sexy poses. My mom posted them on IG and FB like one of the pictures is her in her thong bikini on all fours pictures in the air boobs in your face, kind of pictures. What’s the purpose of this? What is she looking to get out of it?

I bet what your father is not there, right? They probably divorced, I assume.

Sad to hear this. I don't think it's healthy to raise children alone as a single mother. She might be missing her sexuality and trying to compensate. The American culture is so shallow that couples divorce for non-reasons, that's the problem.

No my dad passed away 2+ years ago my mom has been acting out sexually the last few months

[Rami_NL]

Sad to hear. She needs a partner. And her sexuality shouldn't be public @GoGetitGio

[GoGetitGio]

Agreed

For validation to cope with insecurities

My mom’s a widow do you think that’s it?

Another one for the "things that never happen" file.

Such a pathetic hater

Feeling young, free, desirable. Getting noticed, compliments and fun with her friend. She's proud and comfortable in her (likely) over 40 yo body. Good for her!

She turned 40 in February. Why’s it “good” to sexualize yourself on social media. Besides me, her son, every other guy including my friends are going to sexualize it and have sexualized thoughts. She’s attractive she’s got a good body she’s fit and has really big boobs for a petite girl her size.. she knows what she’s doing guys are gonna think sexy thoughts when they see these pics

[DrPepper12]

Why should she have to circumscribe her sexuality to fit your or your friends views? It may be unconventional or even embarrassing but it's her body, her life.

[GoGetitGio]

No, I’m asking why sexualuzing yourself and posting pics you know guys, including your sons friends some of whom you know, are going to have sexual thoughts about is a good thing. Why’s it good to sexualized yourself in front of strangers including your sons friends

It's literally just for fun to post any type of pics

[GoGetitGio]

Sexualize pics on all 4s in a thong?

[GoGetitGio]

Sexualized *

[Apple1996]

Sure why not

[GoGetitGio]

My friends and everyone else who follows her on IG and FB can she her sexualizing herself! My mom’s attractive she’s tiny and fit with really big boobs she knows exactly what she’s doing, most guys are going to look at her, including my friends, sexually and have sexual thoughts. Why’s that good?

[NamerOfStars]

Validation. To some women, it's like air.

[GoGetitGio]

I figured. Validation from men in general right? Not necessarily some guy specifically

[NamerOfStars]

Yep.

[GoGetitGio]

Like my friends follow her on social and prob look at those pics

[slatyb]

Admiration.
