Question

Considering the pictures are by people he knows.

Did you suddenly go blind when you got a girlfriend? Do your hormones only flow when you think of or look at her? No.

So now be smart and understand something about women, and in no particular order: The younger and more insecure and competitive they are, the more it applies, but it's pretty constant at any age if you're still dating.

* NEVER bring up how good looking her friends are, for any reason
* NEVER volunteer that "you're the best looking of all your friends", because that would imply you've been looking at them too much
* NEVER let her see you gawking or staring at other women, especially her friends. If you're going to look, make it quick, and NEVER turn around to look at someone else. Obviously, this means...
* NEVER mention how hot another girl looks. If SHE brings it up and says "Do you think she's hot?"... your answer is "not as hot as you - never could be".
* Focus on the good-looking girl you have, not the one you don't have.

Break any of these rules and you'll be in the dog house.

It's probably not the best, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. You could ask him to stop, but then you would have to admit that you were stalking his page.

I think the fact that you are tracking his insta, and who's pictures he is liking is weirder honestly. You obviously feel like you can't trust this man.

Has he given you a reason not to trust him? If not, mind your own business.

Would you feel comfortable with him going through your internet history? Your DMs on instagram? Your text messages with every man that texts you... etc... I doubt it.
If you are going to make it a thing, you better make sure you aren't doing any shady shit as well. That would just make you a hypocrite.

This will give you some more perspective;

If you're his friend, he may not have meant it in a weird way, especially if you're his girlfriend's friend. And if it's the only picture in a bikini, he might literally just like the picture. Don't read too much into just yet, unless it becomes more frequent, or he starts reacting to stories, it should be pretty platonic

Nah lol. If I was married and he liked bikini girls, that's his thing.

I remember my dad's friends having sexy calendars on their walls growing up. It's not like they ever had a chance with them anyway lol. 😉 And besides, my husband, if I had indeed chosen a good one, would know that BEAUTY fades, LOVE grows!

DoctorSex · Answer

Depends on the guy. This all comes down to emotional maturity and overall boredom for the most part.
"Why is my partner bored and not engaged in a more productive activity" is what I'd be asking.
Then secondly, I'd be asking myself whether my partner and i are on the same page In regards to where this relationship is going. Do we have goals or is this a casual fling?

In all honesty, if it is a casual fling (and a lot of times it is, a lot of women in my conversations and observations, mislabel "situationships", in order to get out of having tough conversations that really need to be had as early as possible.)
Then it shouldn't be a big deal.
I personally dislike situationships.

Kind regards,
DoctorSex

Why not? If he REALLY loves you, it shouldn't make any difference to him! I still looked at other girls when I was with my future ex-fiance and I told her from day 1, I'm not looking to replace you! I want YOU!! I just like looking at them because, to me, it's like going to a museum and admiring great works of art. My heart belongs to YOU! End of story!! I'm hooked!! You're stuck with me, babe!!
Too bad she didn't feel the same way!! I SHOULD'VE been looking to replace her!! They could've taken over when she started cheating on me!!

Man-O-Metal · Answer

It's not weird if it's people he knows. Unless he's spending a lot of time looking at the photo. Don't make it a big deal if it's not. If the guy is simply liking the photo and then scrolling past it, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to call him out on it. I know way too many girls who spend way too much time thinking about this when they don't have to.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Weird, no not really but it could be hurtful to his girlfriend if she knows about it. If that’s the case, then it’s also very disrespectful. But nowadays most of us understand that his liking an online pic is just how things work now.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Ehhh, it's a bit complicated, actually. Especially if it's on Facebook. A lot of people post pictures where they MIGHT be in a bikini, but that's not really the point of the picture. They're just sharing about their vacation trip.
I'm sure I have Liked PLENTY of pictures from my friends that have them in swimsuits. It means absolutely nothing at all. It's just a "polite and obligatory" Like. Our relationship is still 100% platonic. And I'm not even thinking about them in that way, even while looking at their picture.

LilSicilian · Answer

No. It’s just pictures , 🤷🏻‍♀️ unless he’s liking those pics and the pics are of woman u know personally etc , then that would be fucked up. I’d say talk to him about it and tell him how u feel an if he doesn’t respect ur feelings and stop etc then dump his ass and find a man that will! 👍 Never settle for less than what u deserve hun.

trumpets310 · Answer

Depends. If he likes all his friends pics and his friends post some bikini pics, totally normal. But if he's following Instagram models and liking their pics its weird

GreatnessBack · Answer

If it's your husband and it bothers you, then say something. If not, I don't care.
In general, he should keep that shit to himself.
Rant: This is why I dislike Instagram as well. On other sites, you give a thumbs up/upvote to things. On that platform, you heart it. It's the same thing, but in some people's minds, it means you LOVE that image AND LOVE the person. It does not.
It's a bloody upvote. lol

Blueeyes81 · Answer

There is no context here. Is it vacation pictures that she happens to be in a bikini? Did she just lose weight and showing off? Is it just a girl posting bikini pictures for the likes? The first two would be innocent likes. The third is not weird but not necessarily smart either.

fonduegirl · Answer

Yeah, it's weird. It's one thing to watch porn, than to know somebody who frequently shares bikini pics. Don't be surprised if you find nudes in his gallery.

Britchie · Answer

Weird no. Innapropriate, probably. Given that you are asking, I'm guessing your partner has a problem with it. If so, you have betrayed her trust. It is an easy thing to stop doing if it is causing her to stress.

Twalli · Answer

Not weird at all, just because we're in a relationship doesn't mean we don't find other girls sexy.

MCheetah · Answer

No. It's normal. Liking a pretty girl's picture isn't cheating on you. You probably look at attractive men too; is that cheating?

countrygirl8754 · Answer

For me I don't approve that shit at all.. if he liking then he checking her out even though it is online

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

By itself it might just be a way he passes the time, like scrolling Netflix but with boobs. If he's in contact with these women and is showing other red flag behaviors along those lines, then it could become a symptom of a larger problem.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I find this question ironic, since almost every single model who posts those pics is taken, but only the onlookers are called out. Not the woman who's showing off to everyone despite having an SO, which tbh is far weirder than liking a pic.

summiter · Answer

Guys are always horny and sure they might like them but as long as they don't chase the girls it is kinda ok. Do you think he masturbates to the pics?

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

If he didn't cross a line then he is balancing on a thin rope, there's no reason he should be doing that if he is with someone already, that's my opinion tho, some people be wildin

LazerBean · Answer

Definitely. It says he has low self control and standards for himself, and is either a man of poor quality or a man from poor quality upbringing.

Zolly99999 · Answer

Not really.. the golden rule is " you can look at the menu but you can't order "

Whatever2929292 · Answer

It depends. If it was just in his feed and he liked it... Not that big of a deal. If he is lusting after them then that is

20yearsolder · Answer

I don't think so, even if we're taken we still like to look

IsoUser · Answer

I Honestly couldn't tell you, mainly because I grew up in an openly nudist household and still prefer the lifestyle so there's not much left to the Proverbial Imagination, besides guys are more visual creatures i think anyway

TheFlak38 · Answer

Of course when a woman explores her THOUSANDS of other options even if she's taken it's not weird at all. You wouldn't even ask such a question. When a woman does it it's fair play.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Your friends are posting thirst traps for this very reason. I am sure you post your share of thirst traps as well.

Drumlin2001 · Answer

He'liking pictures of his friends. How is that weird?

Keepitreal007 · Answer

If you’re strong in your relationship then I don’t think you need to worry. But if you’re struggling then could be cause for concern.

OddBeMe · Answer

Its weird he ain't better at hiding it. But i wouldn't worry about it. Just be worse to get into it with him.

LimitedBenefits101 · Answer

Nope, you are just jealous of those girls pictures he's liking get a grip

SlowPitchG · Answer

Why would it be weird? Assuming it's social media, I don't see why that would be weird.

vj0090 · Answer

Not at all.. Just by liking pics doesn't mean anything

Mangospacho · Answer

I think they’re posted for likes. If he’s making fun of them, that would be more of a red flag.

qusai_jo · Answer
