He doesn't even have Instagram and thinks the whole app is silly, but I haven't really seen him doing so even in like Facebook. I'd be totally fine if he liked his female friends' pictures, though. For me a like is just a nice gesture, but doesn't really mean anything else.
If its non provocative and a non bikini selfie... then nope. To be honest I don't think its respectable even if they don't mean harm, it sends out the wrong signal if the picture is of a girl wanting to show off their body, good for her, but they should really know (boyfriends in this case) what is respectable to like to your partner and what not. If its a selfie a normal one I could care less... they're pretty people and I bet you are too no shame in that!
My ex did this when we were in a committed relationship and I didn't particularly like it but didn't say anything as I didn't want to cause a 'petty' argument. I think guys view this as trivial and really don't mean to offend their girlfriends when they do this. Guys are visual creatures and just think it's a pretty selfie 9 times out of 10 and mean nothing by it.
He doesn't like pictures of girls who are in bikinis or modeling. More so girls that are into games and other things he likes and it is not often at all. So no it doesn't bother me but if it were more often I might be slightly put off
If he knows it makes you uncomfortable, yet he still does it, I would question him on why he feels it's so important to like other girls' pictures while he knows it makes you feel bad.
With my ex, I would prefer if he didn't not, not because I didn't trust him but because I know girls are messy and they like to use little insignificant things like that to start drama
He does but I can't do anything about the fact that he has a lot of friends who are girls. Who am I to say he "can't" do something as harmless as liking a picture of a friend?
Guys are attracted to confidence to be honest. Just study those pictures he's "liking" are they really more beautiful than the average plain Jane or you? Next time shock him and say 'she's cute but she ain't me though!' Words of the wise!
well the way I'd think about it is, do you like pictures guys post? Yeah, probably. And I bet you do it without really even thinking about it. I mean, even if you thought it was a good picture of the guy, that wouldn't make you like him, or like your boyfriend any less. So why would seeing a picture of a pretty girl make your boyfriend like you any less?

It bothers me bc mine likes pics of half naked girls, exes, and girls he used to crush on and he will comment like "BEAUTIFUL" under their pics... so it bothers me when mine does it. If it was just friends he's known and their smiling faces and accomplishments it would bother me as bad... so if yours is only liking innocent friend pics I wouldn't worry about it
My last ex nhardly liked other girls pics really and when he did it was usually a graduation photo of a friend or a cool picture that even I would have liked. It doesn't bother me.
if he talks about them in a way where is obsessed with them to the point that they are his idol then it's a problem. (I've run into girls who did this all the time, instant turn off). But if it's just old friends, and he's not intentionally searching for them (their pictures just happen to be on his feed) it's nothing to worry about.
My man is such a country boy that he doesn't even have social media. He has a laptop, iphone and all that, but he just doesn't care for social media. He literally doesn't even know what a hashtag is lol.
I think you should think about it this way: You have done so much more with your boyfriend in real life than whatever he does on social media with other girls. You cannot compare your love to one Instagram like. :) Good luck!
I have female friends and just like their photos to show them support and care nothing more, however, I try not to hit like if it's little sexy so my girlfriend doesn't feel jealous.

My boyfrd follows freaky accounts, pretty girls, booty accounts , likes girls pics and to me it's kinda uncomfy like hmm maybe I need to look like those girl with big ass/boobs? Talked to him about it, he said it's just fantasy and it's just like watching porn. It's all G
My ex did too! It made me a little insecure because I didn't get why he needed to look at those when he had me haha. But trust me, it's just a guy thing.
@philipph Yes at first. It still kind of bothers me. But it means nothing, everyone likes to fantasize. Heck if I wanted to I could do similar things too, but there are wayyy more accounts like that targeted for men to watch than women. Why? I don't know
yea there are more accounts for men- probably because our sexual senses get more stimulated by visual input whereas women are rather stimulated by connection?
@ opinion owner - i don't know. to be straight with you - i do watch porn sometimes - and when i would have the chance to get a gorgeous girl and f... her then i would probably do it (i am not in a relationship). when i would be in a serious relationship i would ask if i could have some naughty pics - so i can think of her...
thanks i would certainly still feel (sexually) attracted to other ladies. question is - what do i do with that feeling?
another advice - my last relationship: my smartphone was lost on which i had naughty pics of her... since then i am even more careful to protect privacy...

Shit if I know. I don't stalk his Instagram lol
He has female friends so I assume he likes their posts on occasion. I see him like their pictures on Facebook. I like posts my male friends have.
It's whatever lol
If he knows it makes you uncomfortable, yet he still does it, I would question him on why he feels it's so important to like other girls' pictures while he knows it makes you feel bad.
nice pic
Why is it a problem? Likes dont really mean anything anyway
With my ex, I would prefer if he didn't not, not because I didn't trust him but because I know girls are messy and they like to use little insignificant things like that to start drama

What about a girl showing her ass
that is different.. I wouldn't like that
if he talks about them in a way where is obsessed with them to the point that they are his idol then it's a problem. (I've run into girls who did this all the time, instant turn off).
But if it's just old friends, and he's not intentionally searching for them (their pictures just happen to be on his feed) it's nothing to worry about.
Never thought of it. I like things like posts and videos and maybe pics of family but never other dudes.. I don't even have guy a lot guys on my page
My man is such a country boy that he doesn't even have social media. He has a laptop, iphone and all that, but he just doesn't care for social media. He literally doesn't even know what a hashtag is lol.
I like pictures of guys I know too. I dont think it means anything. You're allowed to acknowledge the opposite sex. Im not that jealous
I think you should think about it this way: You have done so much more with your boyfriend in real life than whatever he does on social media with other girls. You cannot compare your love to one Instagram like. :) Good luck!
Ha thats true 👌🏻✨ we got some wisdom right here
HELL YES!!! This is so true! Real wisdom here!
If only more girls would get this into their heads, we'd be much happier men.
I have female friends and just like their photos to show them support and care nothing more, however, I try not to hit like if it's little sexy so my girlfriend doesn't feel jealous.

It's all G
and how do you really feel about it - that he does that?
My ex did too! It made me a little insecure because I didn't get why he needed to look at those when he had me haha.
But trust me, it's just a guy thing.
did you question yourself whether you were enough for him?
@philipph Yes at first. It still kind of bothers me. But it means nothing, everyone likes to fantasize. Heck if I wanted to I could do similar things too, but there are wayyy more accounts like that targeted for men to watch than women. Why? I don't know
@philipph yeah I did , but in the end of the day. its just fantasy. Right (?) what do u think?
yea there are more accounts for men- probably because our sexual senses get more stimulated by visual input whereas women are rather stimulated by connection?
@ opinion owner - i don't know. to be straight with you - i do watch porn sometimes - and when i would have the chance to get a gorgeous girl and f... her then i would probably do it (i am not in a relationship). when i would be in a serious relationship i would ask if i could have some naughty pics - so i can think of her...
Omg yes see u are a stand up guy! when your in a relationship u should be looking at pics of ur girl to get off on. I really liked ur comment.
thanks
i would certainly still feel (sexually) attracted to other ladies. question is - what do i do with that feeling?
another advice - my last relationship: my smartphone was lost on which i had naughty pics of her... since then i am even more careful to protect privacy...
