My boyfriend doesn't want to set me as his whatsapp status pic?

We are in an LDR relationship. The other day we were talking about the status on whatsapp and gave each other a pic to put as our status. My boyfriend said he didn't want to put one up of me because it would look like he was showing of ( I am pretty ). However he lives in a country that has a completely different culture than mine. Do you think it's bad that he doesn't want to show me off?

I didn't put a picture of him up, he just didn't put up a pic of me when I suggested :/
