My boyfriend follows instagram models why?

Question

It annoys me

stranger · Accepted Answer

It's pretty common for people to follow Instagram models or influencers for a variety of reasons, and it doesn't necessarily mean anything negative about your relationship. Here are a few reasons why he might be doing it:

Entertainment: Instagram models often post visually appealing content, and some people follow them just for the aesthetics or entertainment value.
Fitness and Lifestyle Inspiration: Many Instagram models share fitness tips, lifestyle advice, fashion inspiration, etc.
Social Trends: Following popular accounts can be a way to stay updated on social media trends and what's popular at the moment.
Habit: Sometimes, people follow certain accounts because their friends do, or it has become a habit without much thought.

That said, if it's bothering you, it's totally fair to bring it up with him. Approach the conversation calmly and express how it makes you feel without accusing him of anything. Maybe you can understand his perspective better, and he can understand yours. You could say something like, "I've noticed you follow a lot of Instagram models, and it makes me feel a bit insecure.

It would be better if once in a relationship, couples agreed to not have social media, or at least discussed and agreed to certain boundaries that are and are not acceptable to BOTH people in the relationship. It can't be all one sided, both people in the relationship need to agree to certain restrictions on social media if they want a SUCCESSFUL long term relationship.

Because as much as women like to think they’re the best thing on this planet since sliced bread, there’s always someone cuter, hotter, younger, etc. But at the same time I think he’s stupid for doing so. Men look all the time, but to put in online that you’re following them knowing that most women don’t like that. Just pure stupidity.

… he probably likes to look at them. In all honesty 🤷‍♀️ I don’t think he’s friends with any or supporting them in their pageants…

so if you don’t like this, you should discuss it, and try to find a compromise. Or improvisation. He can look at you, and you can play dress up with bikinis? 🤷‍♀️ or seriously talk about boundaries. And if he has a serious issue with either suggestions, then…

🤷‍♀️

sorry sis. Hope he makes some improvements. Maybe he needs some needs of his to be met, or maybe he’s just being a jerk. Possibly the latter if he didn’t even try discussing things with you or getting you to play with him a bit. He doesn’t seem to value or respect you, so under that conclusion—

I’d suggest moving on from him. Unless you’d like to do similarly or something.

It’s understandable you’re not thrilled about your boyfriend’s Instagram habits. Sadly, it’s pretty common, but that doesn’t mean you have to tolerate it.

Have you had a serious chat about how this impacts you? Sometimes, you need to lay down the law, what you’re cool with and what’s unacceptable.

If you’re up for a game plan on how to bring this up without drama, let me know. I’ve helped women in very similar situations establish boundaries with their significant other.

Don't put up with this. Any man drooling over online girls is pathetic af. Even more pathetic when they have a girlfriend

AviatorTom · Answer

I'm guessing he's a typical guy who likes to look at attractive women. Nothing wrong with looking.

ClaircognizantEmpath · Answer

hey, i heard a fantastic story the other day, a woman whos partner followed a lot of females online and liked pics etc, he didn't respond to her expressing her upset. so she started following as many hot guys, fireman, soldiers etc and apparently he quit his follows pretty quick! lol worth a try

avery58 · Answer

Many men and even some women say that following models and random girls is normal, but then those same girls they follow come on here and ask "why is he liking my stories but not talking to me". Clearly they're sending a message when they do these type of things, so it's very normal of you to feel annoyed by it.

northerngal · Answer

He is a guy. He likes to look at attractive women. But it can be done in a disrespectful way especially if you have told him you don't like it. If he does not take your feelings into account maybe its time for a new boyfriend?

Or maybe as the other answer said its time to go with the girlfriends to oogle some hot guys at the male strip club!

HaleyWalker · Answer

So being a model not a Instagram model that's some fake ass shit.

I don't know why people get upset at that. Like it's not my fault, I'm just existing posting my shit. Then again I actually do like normal clothing I don't dress like a hoe that's what I think of when I think of Instagram model

Purpleronnie · Answer

Why is a good question , I couldn’t comment on why HE does it specifically but if he doesn’t respect boundaries you have set then clearly it’s some sort of compulsion for him. Go find a man and not a boy would be my advice

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I have no clue why guys in relationships (or even single for that matter) follow women they don't even know. Seems kind of creepy...

dustybiker2 · Answer

He puts himself above what he knows offends you. He came like this. You won't change a man like this. Accept it or find someone who doesn't follow models.

rosemilk · Answer

ask him and tell him that it annoys you. but don't expect that to be a good enough reason for him to unfollow

strateguy632 · Answer

because he likes to look at pretty women. this is not a threat to annoy you. he sees plenty of pretty women on the train and at work.

CrabCakes11 · Answer

Because he’s undisciplined and non committal

madpete1111 · Answer

He's a perv. Get over it. If you can't, find someone who isn't a perv

LiamJHayden · Answer

It annoys you, so let him know. If he doesn't care that it annoys you, then realize that he values it more than he does you. Proceed accordingly.

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Because they're pretty... And you've I imagine not set that boundary with him.

Kit_Kat88 · Answer

He likes to look at hot girls. It’s disrespectful to continuously follow IG models and like their pictures though.

sheikalana · Answer

We tend to follow the things that we like and find interesting to look at.

Wise4myage · Answer
