I don't know why as well. If I had a boyfriend or significant other, I would definitely put pics of him online (if he's okay with it) and have him as a background pic on my phone too.

No idea. My FB and IG profiles have loads of pictures with my husband on it.

I think a lot of them want to protect themselves from drama, my ex was good looking and I told him to hide me cause I did not want girls who looked better then me to hit on him when thought he dated a less attractive girl than his own visual value. And I know people who hide their relationships to avoid embarrassment if they break up, since people will ask questions if it’s public.
If you've been in a faulty relationship where she's keeping her options open, then you know why. I get tired of that simp that starts hitting the like and heart on every picture that doesn't have me or the kids in the picture. It's a bit too obvious... too much right on the nose. So why would a chick do it on purpose? ... it's too obvious if you ask me. A ton of these chicks had no involved father figure and they've become attention whores.
I don't feel bad for them but I feel bad for the guys that try to please them, while their chick praises the likes and hearts from random strangers more.
I would argue its weird to have both people always in pictures, people are individuals and partners are just a part of that and not a trophy to display, they have own interests and things they want to display about themselves. People who know the people know they are together and if they dont plaster it all over social media it shows they are secure in the relationship
If you view social media as a dating ground then it will seem odd, but if you see it as a place for people to be themselves then its normalI have my favorite picture of my man as my wallpaper and lick screen. He's so sexy and I look at him every chance I get. I don't understand why others don't in my opinion it's to play games so they can have their cake and eat it to. I have no problem claiming my man
Honestly my relationship is too precious for me to want to share or show off my partner with everyone. Is not that I'm trying to hide him but I want to keep our relationships as private as possible cuz people often get jealous of what you have.
Usually it is two reasons.
1. She wants to cheat and in this case often posts revealing pictures of herself as well.
2. She has bad friends that try to steal her boyfriends or she has seen them try to steal boyfriends of other people in the past. She really shouldn't be friends with immoral people like that though if she is actually a good person.
I have requested that my man not do this and I don't do it. I just don't want my pics out there on someone else's account that I have no say on.
When I used to be online, I only did my own cause I did for a time include my SO but then when he would eventually cheat, I had to go back and dig through them all and delete them... cause having a single status and pics of a ex just sucks to clean up on all the platforms.
I don't always like people in my business like that. Some people facebook stalk, especially family.
Majority of the time I'm secretive of who I'm dating.
Could be the same reason when the girl has her relationship status set to "Single" but you know she has a boyfriend for a while now.
Or she has no bad intention behind it, she just doesn't want him as a background picture. I also probably wouldn't set my girlfriend as my bg pic.
Or she doesn't want to show the world who she is with and share him on IG with anyone, it might make other girls jealous of her and they might try to screw things up..
I meant to say I don’t know why. I missread it. But if the relationship is not serious yet that may be the reason. You don’t want to seem flaky updating the picture a lot.
Probably because their partner can't take pictures well and will ruin the picture as a result with their awkwardness.
Weeeellllll long story but his ex wife doesn't need to see
On dating apps I’ve seen guys post their Wives/girlfriend and say that’s their sister
Because she knows she has bad judgement. So she doesn't want to be embarrassed when the inevitable breakup happens.
Maybe guys aren't trying to show how empowered and independent they are so don't need to be embarrassed about their partner.
Because even though I am married I am still an individual… he’s my husband not my Siamese twin.
Most women do that to let strangers know they are single
while other do to flirt with strangers
Lol I’m going through the opposite. I post my boyfriend but he wouldn’t post me.
Afik girls like flaunting their big toys so this seems new to me
The have a slightly possessive side, where a picture of them with their SO indicates that this person is dating me, so hands off.
