Why do boys make their instagram private?

[Anonymous]

I've always wondered.

I mean... they can't be afraid because for the most part they're not a girl for some random guy to be ogling at their body.

It's one thing for it to be private from the start, it's another to actually go in and change it

[Yumix]

mine is private simply because I don't want my pics publicly available for everyone. E. g. I don't post pics on facebook, but people I have on facebook will get a notification and suggestions that I'm on instagram... but I don't want them all to see the pics

[Winter_Storm_Guy]

Some of them ones with Private Instagram accounts could be older males
pretending to be teenagers so just be careful. Some female accounts are
private too they could be real females and some can be fake male accounts.

[Miss_Behave]

Well, the same reason why girls make their Instagram private... because they don't want any random people to see their pics. Some people are just more private and like to keep thing that way. Nothing to do with gender and whatnot.

[Asker]

I can see that as he doesn't seem like a guy who is comfortable with attention.

That being said, randomly out of nowhere? For the longest time it was public

[Miss_Behave]

Sometimes people change their minds. I've known people (both guys and girls) who just suddenly change their Instagram from public to private. Nothing wrong with it. Everyone has their preference and is entitled to make either private/public... whatever makes them comfortable.

That being said... Why are you bothered that he's changed it to private? You been stalking him or something and now you can't view it anymore cos it isn't public?

[Blitzkrieger]

Yeah im beginning to think she was stalking him since she is so very bothered by him putting his account from public to private.

[Asker]

... did you just realize I was stalking him? Obviously I was stalking him lol how would I know he made it private if I hadn't looked him up?

[Blitzkrieger]

You say only a girl needs to care about creeping stalkers yet you are stalking a guy yourself. Fuck this hypocrisy.

[Asker]

Fuck your obvious defensiveness at me calling you out on not realizing what's going on here.

I said a guy didn't have to worry about creepy stalkers ogling his body. It's true. If I am 'stalking' him, (which by the way everyone does on facebook instagram social media in general), it's just to know what's going on in his life.

How much can you really ogle a guy's body when he's usually wearing t-shirts or full-sleeve shirts?

Guys just don't get ogled by most women unless they are physically present, I would assume

[Blitzkrieger]

Triggered much? He doesn't want creeps like you looking at his profile.

[Asker]

I highly doubt he realizes I look him up. High highly doubt that.

[Wonderer89]

Because he enjoys his privacy and doesn't want people stalking his photos? As you're obviously doing?

Are you seriously confused about this enough to ask the internet?

[HerondaleLover88]

Something must have happened to where he felt he needed to hide his pictures from the public.

[TheLuckyPizzaDog]

Obviously, because he doesn't want certain people to have access to his instagram.

[Coldwater]

To keep from weird girls, relatives, schools to easily see their endgagments or because of parties that may consist of alcohol, nudity or drugs.

[cchris999]

There are such things as weird girls?

[Coldwater]

Yes any gender, religion, or ethnicity can have a weird person. None of that determines a persons personality

[posted]

Because of job interviews maybe, random people who shouldn't be seeing shit, seeing shit..

[JensonStatement]

I don't want random gay mexican people or unknown pornstars (trolling accounts) to follow my account.
I had them. Don't call me racist. The mexican has Juan or something in his name.

[YaBaba]

so they can have some control over who can follow them, etc

It's not a bad thing :)

[ProbablyTooMature]

Is private different than friends only? I would never not have my stuff friends only.

[ProbablyTooMature]

(If I ever sank so low as to make one.)

[Blitzkrieger]

I hope this is a troll question. jesus fucking christ. The worst shit I've read all day.

[iceEverestere]

Loll.. I know

[tayoker]

i have 600 male followers, i follow 400 guys... none of them have it private... instead girls do

[Asker]

exactly. Why would a guy do that out of nowhere

[iceEverestere]

Because some random girl will ogle... lol
Well I dont

[Asker]

I'm serious? Honestly if the privacy settings were automatic I'd 'get it'.

This is purposeful.

[iceEverestere]

Maybe he didn't like some of his photos to be seen by everyone

[Kiran04]

Because they don't want your nosy ass watching everything they do.

[red324]

Because he's got pics with some girl when he probably has a girlfriend already.

[Curmudgeon]

Or he has porn pics, of girls he has never been with and never met, but they look good naked.

[Decentguy]

dont know, i never made my Instagram profile private

[Anonymous]

Could be lots of reasons, to hide their life from employers, people they don't know. Same reason people keep their facebook private.

[Chico_brah]

I have women ogling at my body as well.

[El_Muffidore]

Mines public to everyone 😊🔫

[TheFlak38]

We are not attention whores. Thats why.

[Book_Lover17]

Privacy? Just a thought...

[GoldCobra]

Girls make them private too.

[Sojex]

Because we like our privacy too

[Anonymous]

becose where parionod

[Anonymous]

Aren't there any female stalkers you think?

[Anonymous]

You don't know that

[Asker]

I don't get why they actually bother changing it.
