Would you be fine in a relationship without taking pictures together?
Anonymous
- I never had photos with first girlfriend. Neither of us were into the selfie thing and ultimately relationship didn't last all that long. We had an amount of issues to work through between us, we only really saw one set of mutual friends whilst we were together.1|00|0Is this still revelant?
- No, I want photos so when I get old and forgetful I can look back at photos to remember how we once were.3|00|0Is this still revelant?

- I think I’d like at least one picture not frequently though, but I am a private person, so I’m sort of fine with it. I don’t want to be one of those couples that overshares on social media every little thing they do. The ones that over share sort of annoy me.2|10|0Is this still revelant?
- I would love to take pictures. Whether we’ll be together forever or not. Every persons who comes into our life leave memories and footprints in our soul.3|00|0Is this still revelant?

1918- I don't like taking pictures and don't have a picture taking instinct. If it's someone like me, then I wouldn't really mind because it's coming from a neutral place. But if it's someone who constantly takes photos and doesn't include me, then I wouldn't like it.0|00|0
- That's pretty much me and my girlfriend. I've never been big on taking pictures every moment like most people nowadays. My girlfriend and I will take a photo once in a while when we complain about having very few photos, but other than that, we're pretty content living life rather than taking pictures of it.0|00|0
- Wouldn't really matter all that much. I only realized that me and my boyfriend barely have any photos together when I wanted to make him a collage for our 5th anniversary xD neither of us is into social media or anything.2|00|0
- Yeah, I'm completely fine with that.
I never really liked taking photos of myself. Not even for my CV - I simply omit that. The most I take photos of myself is just for the passport. I skipped "family photo sessions" while growing up too. Too fugly for that at that time.
Modern digital technologies is full of spies and government mass surveillance.1|00|0 - Sure, I don't think that I would even notice.
But if I did I would ask my partner why, just because I want to make sure that they aren't ashamed of dating me/hiding our relationship for some reason0|00|0 - I think it would be weird to not have pictures together, I mean we're dating so why no photo's, but if she were constantly uploading our dating life to the web/social media, I would have problems with that.1|00|0
- Sure, as long as they at least have saved pictures of me and vise versa. I gotta be the lockscreen too ✌😙0|00|0
- Not only would I be fine with it, but I'd prefer it. I don't like taking pictures.0|00|0
- Yes absolutely, I don’t see the need to take photos in a relationship.0|00|0
- Yeah, both my girlfriend and I don't like being on pics, so it works out I suppose. lol0|00|0
- That was my last realtionship. 2 years and we have maybe 3 pictures together. Granted that was cus we weren't a great match and now we broke up. Take pictures its sweet to have as memories1|00|0
- Yes. It would be a relief in so many ways. But eventually it would be annoying not to have even just one picture together. Sigh.1|00|0
- Yes, I'm fine with that. Not a big fan of taking pictures.0|00|0
Anonymous24 dIf one of them is hideous, it's understandable. Otherwise the reason is very likely it's just temporary relationship that is set to fail from the beginning.0|00|0- That's kind of weird these days because everyone takes photos of themselves with their partners. I would be fine with it if he talks to me about it, but I'd make sure I know the reason why he doesn't want to take pictures with me.0|10|0
- Yeah I don't really like taking pictures as it is so for me that seems perfect.0|00|0
- I'm the one who always refuses to take pictures together. My ex was so annoying with wanting to take pictures with me like for what?0|10|0
- If it is to be posted on social media or someplace mam, then I am fine without taking pictures but I would love to have some pictures with my partner for our personal memory lane.1|00|0
- Hmm part of me wouldn't care, but also if it was serious i'd be sad we wouldn't be able to just remember little moments, so i feel like i need a partner who will annoy the hell out of me taking a ton of photos together1|00|0
- I don't initiate photos and try to avoid them. There would be photos though, my family would take them. I'd be fine without them though.1|00|0
- That's a HUGE sign of a relationship involving only casual sex. I wouldn't even call it a relationship. That is what someone does when they don't want the other girls to find out about you. I'd rather be single.0|10|0
- I wouldn't mind, having photos doesn't indicate how a relationship is going, as long as we are communicating and are supporting each other all is good1|00|0
- Yeah I would be as long as the relationship was good. And we treated each other right0|00|0
- I'd think that was quite odd. What would the reason be to NOT have a photo of the two of you?0|10|0
@Unit1 If someone cares for you, I'm sure they see the beauty in you. It's more than likely you're a secret relationship that person doesn't want anyone to know about. You need to be on your gurad.
- Show All Show Less
@Unit1 I'm saying the MAIN REASON someone would not want to be seen in a photo WITH you is that they don't want any evidence of BEING with you. It's not about how you look. It's about how THEY look with you.
Someone who cares about you is with you BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT YOU! Looks are only part of the equation.
If you think you're ugly, you need to get some self esteem help. I've met people who are somewhat physically unattractive, but who've turned out to be really attractive when you get to know them.
Bone ugly? Never.
I've met extremely handsome men who were such complete assholes they WERE UGLY. Bone ugly. Had nothing to do with their physical appearance. They were terrible people.The actor in Machete Kills is a most unattractive man. But I've seen interviews with him. He's really warm and funny. You think ANYBODY would like Matthew McConaughey as much as they do if he was a jerk? Of course not. He's a sweet man, has a sweet mom, sweet wife and kids, a good egg.
Beauty if far more than skin deep. Something
is up with this man and it has nothing to do with your beauty.Hm, yes, you're right. I heard Ms. @Brainsbeforebeauty saying the exact same thing as you did. I do notice, that mostly only mature ladies share this opinions (35 years and above) and less so for young women. I am not exactly sure why that is so. Maybe life gives them "the lemons" for a new perspective in life (the same way growing up penniless did to me)? Or their patience came to an end? Or the attention they receive was decreased? A combination of these? Can you tell me?
Therefore perhaps I'll find a girlfriend as soon as I turn 35 years old or so. The others just tell me "such silly/strange/foolish girls"
However my reason is primarily for preferring personal privacy. It's basically why I'm here and not on say Facebook or instagram.@Unit1 why do people always assume women get less attention as they get older? I can't speak for other women, but I personally get way more than when I was a teenager or young adult... And also, it's not letting standards or out of "desperation" I've ALWAYS looked more to who they were as a person than merely just looks or money, maybe why my relationship lasted 20 years and probably still would be going strong if he was still here...
@Brainsbeforebeauty
Well, that is usually the case with most aging women. I think it's somewhat less the case in Europe.
In some cultures society rushes the girls to marry while they're young and snatch a man with money. That's the poor east for ya.
In the area where I am most women, who are 40 are fat and have short hair and we would look at them exclusively only if they're our customer. I personally saw however some extremely beautiful and heart-beat inducing ladies, who are 40+ years old and their good character can reinforce that.
Still, I find the tendency of young girls taking things for granted while they're young and many suddenly change once their 30th or 35th birthday wakes them up. Like what was the hold up, right? If you ask me I wouldn't want to be with them anyway if it took them that long to catch up, then imagine how long it will take them to catch up with other things in life. This is why we say some never learn.
So yes, there ARE mature AND middle aged women, who attract me
@Unit1 The reason for the rush to marriage in some societies is because of the value they place on having children, something most women aren't going to do much past 40. And the value MEN place on the young face and body.
We all know there is beauty in youth. That's a given. But it's often rather shallow.
And for some men, I believe they can be satisfied with a fuck buddy and not a human woman who matches them in brains, personality, maturity.
For some women, it's the money in a man's pockets, not what's inside his pants or skull.
You don't have to wait until you're 35. Just keep your eyes and ears open. Ask friends if they know someone who might fit with you (this is a great way to get good matches.) Use a good online service like Match. There are a few others.
And cultivate good friendships with interesting women. Of course, there are friendships that won't lead to anything more than that, but a good female friend is like gold: SHE can hook you up with an appropriate friend too.
There is always the chance friendship may broaden into love for both of you.
Keep your options open, take good care of yourself.Yay. I'm on it :)
I value that. Female friends are amazing!
For some reason I find talking with mature women to be much easier than young girls. I can see, that mature women are more proactive and talkative whereas young girls are more passive and dismissive and basically let the dialogs come to a complete halt. We all know these 1 word responses.@Unit1 This is why young girls, despite their physical beauty, aren't very interesting on the whole. The same is true of young men. They lack so much experience, they HAVE NOTHING TO SAY and they know very little, unless they're unusual. There are a few who are.
If you find older women easier to talk to and are attracted to some, why not go out with them? I'm talking 10 years older, not rolling around in wheelchairs.
This might be a great way to enjoy a woman's company and learn about women in general. Tell the woman/women you're seeking knowledge. Many of them would be glad to bestow that on you.Sure thing. I had this idea actually several years ago but I am dealing with a very different problem.
You see I'm European but stranded in the poor east thanks to the poor decisions made by my creators (it was so bad I was literally starving). I deal with severe language barriers as well as cultural differences here. I mean if I'm a European female migrant here, that wouldn't be much of a problem (for obvious reasons I think you and I can agree on).
Yes, you are completely correct once again, that the young 20s usually lack experience, ambitions, drive for betterment (keyword USUALLY) and on the surface can't even be socialized with. Just wow. Now add the language barriers to this problem and you got a kissless virgin man, who has the only choice of getting a job back in Europe (still working on it, it's not easy) or hire courtesans (I did that multiple times by now).
I can talk to a few married 35+ year old women in my area here and they can talk in English and that's basically what I'm stuck with here. Girls in my age are still so big into social media. They value social media so much, that they ghost me because I refuse to be on social media. For them if you don't exist on social media, then you don't exist in the real world either 🤣Let's just disclose information, that I am comfortable sharing (in public).
I am from Germany and I currently reside in the poor east, kinda 3. th world country'-ish but not exactly like Yemen or North Korea. Somewhere in the middle of Eurasia.@Unit1 Ohhhhhh. So there's the language deficit AND the religious, cultural deficits. Man. Rock and a hard place! No wonder you're having such trouble.
I'd concentrate on getting out of there and forget about doing much more than chatting with whomever has the time or interest to talk.
I don't think I'd have success if I were in a place where most people were Muslim and they had a rather restrictive idea of male/female interactions.
I know in some areas there are dress codes that if you don't follow them (for women) you're branded a whore. You're in a difficult situation.
Concentrate on whatever friendships you can develop, if even that is possible. Good luck.Ohhh, hold on a second. I'm not actually in a Muslim country (in fact muslim residents migrate over here, saying it is by far better here than there and that's not saying much for those countries overall). It's a wonder how my creators didn't choose these Muslim countries. Still it's North Korea-ish over here, dictatorship, censorship, mass poverty, undying corruption and mafia government assassinating political contestants. Still yes, there is huge trouble in dating for me here.
So yes, I do focus on finding a job back in Europe and get my behind back there. I know 2 former coworkers, who did just that and now they're living well in Finland.
I have a MBA to get there and then get rich as... well... the wealthy :) :) :)@Unit1 What kind of business do you apply your MBA to? Or what have you been working in. How did you end up there in the first place? Doesn't sound like a great experience.
All good questions!
"What kind of business do you apply your MBA to?"
My first thought is to apply MBA skills for whoever I work for at a given time. I aim to work as a Business Operations Manager. If opportunity however presents I might just open my own business and provide fiber optics internet in Germany. Germany does NOT have those unfortunately and it's demanded but not supplied.
"How did you end up there in the first place? Doesn't sound like a great experience."
Well yes, I was 15 years old when my parents decided to move from Germany to the poor east. We don't have a good relationship, so I don't know their reasons but as far as I know, they won't be paying back the 3K EUR debts they have accumulated over there, that they squandered mindlessly on 2 vacations to these something-stan countries.
And so I pick up the shards they have left at the huge price of my own early life stages. It kinda feels like being enslaved and paying off the debts of one's own father like in the 1950s or something.
