Girls, my boyfriend likes other women’s pictures on social media. How would you feel if you were in my shoes?

normal... I believe that relationships are built on mutual trust and respect... my man is a human being and can express his likes and dislikes, and believe me, I do the same (but not on social media, as I don't have any)... so I'm perfectly OK with it...

my man wouldn't lose his ability to observe the world around him only because he is with me... and I definitely prefer men who can speak openly about their tastes, so we can talk about what we like and don't like without damaging our egos and relationship

also, for me, there's nothing wrong when my man shows me a girl and says, "I like her beauty."... it's one of many ways I can get to know him better when he shares his likes with me... with my first partner we were spending hours discussing different beauty types and pointing out to different people on the streets showing what we mean... he knew I like men with long hair, but he never even tried to grow his, and I was totally OK with that... he knew that what I like to look at is one thing and who I love is something different... I wouldn't love him for his hair... I did love him for his mind, for who he was...

I'd be pissy af if my man did that shit. I'm such a fight fire with fire type of person I'll give him karma back by posting my own pics and getting likes from random men lol

[JesseP1nk]

"Oh, you are so insecure"

[Apple1996]

@JesseP1nk that's what I'd be saying if he was mad at any pics I posted

[JesseP1nk]

Exactly. So how is this different?

[Apple1996]

@JesseP1nk both are the same

Look, if you are genuinely 46, then you are old enough and should be mature enough to deal with this. So, I don't think you're 46.

Men will look - always. Social media just allows the Like button, but the "Like button" is really in their brain and it has been then since the dawn of humans over 2 million years ago.

And it's not just men. Women too.

Look, no matter who you are, your partner is going to find other people attractive too. So, don't be bothered by it.

It’s disrespectful and something you should really
Reconsider, especially if you aren’t doing that to him , it’s one thing for someone to look but to act on it is crossing a line , if You confront him on it , he isn’t going to tell you the truth , he will just act like it’s no big deal. And that you are overreacting, but the truth is , how would he feel if you were doing that to him? So it’s up to you what you want to do about this , cuz in a sense he is cheating on you

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach, I'm here to sprinkle a bit of flirt and wisdom into the mix 😉. If I were in your adorable shoes, I'd definitely feel a little mix of emotions. It's totally normal to feel a pinch of jealousy, but consider having a heart-to-heart with him. Communication can clear the air, and hey, it might just be an innocent double-tap on his part! If it feels like a red flag, trust your gut, but don’t jump to conclusions without a good chat. Remember, love is more than just likes! 🥰

[coachTanthony]

He's hoping and praying deep down they see that "like" and DM him for the sexual escapade of a lifetime. A like is a gateway to sliding into that DM.

[chiquita]

I would question why he did something like that and it could make me feel inadequate. I think things like that create unnecessary tension in a relationship. I would want to sit down and talk and be clear about how I feel. If he cares about me, I think he should understand that he needs to be careful about this.

[princess]

I agree that it is important to communicate openly about how these things make me feel. It is true that these kinds of small actions can cause tension if not addressed. I will try to talk to him calmly and set boundaries that work for both of us.

[carenina]

Honestly, I wouldn't like it. I would feel a little worthless or inadequate, because I would try to understand why he felt the need to like other women's pictures. I think these kinds of things, even though they seem small, can affect a relationship. Maybe you could sit down and talk to him and try to understand how he feels and why he does it.

[princess]

I understand you very well, little things like this can add up and cause insecurity in a relationship. Thank you.

[Zack-Bann]

Never once understood what the big deal is


It’s a random double tap in passing that he most likely doesn’t remember


It’s not like guys use likes as declaration that they like someone


It’s just a hollow form of interactivity on social media


There’s a fine line between that and him mentally cheating with someone else

[slippery2000]

Liking photos of another woman isn't bad or wrong but if he is trying to hide it or commenting on her posts as a means of getting noticed or becomes invested in every new post of theirs, chances are he's in the wrong. If you are simply Liking a girls photos based on their looks or style being appealing, and not hiding it from your significant other, but including them in the conversation or asking them if they think they are attractive as well then I don't see anything wrong with it.

[Purpleronnie]

To be honest … I’d feel “meh” , I realized you asked girls but thought I’d stay my opinion anyway


So why “meh’ , because we are all human , just because she “likes” a picture , whatever the hell that even means doesn’t mean that I have anything to worry about.


I simply refuse to get all torn up about something so trivial and arbitrary as liking a picture !!

[morganherrel]

I'd feel like I was not attractive enough for him and ask him what I could do better (since most of attractiveness is within someone's control these days)

I would point out ways he could be trying harder as well, and we would make it a deal, the increased effort being a way of showing affection and commitment.

[danielle872024]

Dont let it get to you , mine is sending I love you and want you messages all the time to Riley Reid the most , twerk videos , sex bots you name it he has said it done it. I laugh about it then getting myself worked up over it.

[Altheavas]

Just because you’re in a relationship you can’t fathom your partner liking someone expressing theirselves, neither as a form of appreciation? So why are people emotion so narrow these days?

[PeachyPie93]

Dump him, I don't date guys obsessed with women.. A boyfriend can look but any other type of attention don't fly with me.

[itsannalee]

I don’t really care about that. Some people just randomly like all post on their timeline.

[Nikki1989]

All men have wandering eyes. Any woman who says otherwise is delusional.

[Adel50]

It seems like you have some issues.

[KingslayerC]

@Adel50 maybe projecting too

[turnpost]

Why like? Lol. This is such a first world problem.

Like why introduce such frivolous bs in your life. I would be pissed based on his stupidity more than anything.

[Miristheiss]

That is disrespectful. It would cross boundaries for me.

[Unit1]

Act your age, little girl

[Crazzyyworld]

World is full of bad girls and bad boys. You might want to find a bad boy when he is looking at the bas girls. He can pimp you out make you a celebrity making your boy friend a loser

[cotton]

This would bother me. I would feel insecure because his liking of other women would give the impression that he is not interested in me. It might be necessary to speak up.

[princess]

I agree that this can make you feel insecure and talking about it openly seems like the best way to address the issue

[bowenw]

I suspect it’s harmless unless he’s chatting with them or meeting them in real life.

[Anonymous]

Liked them in what way? Are these pics of women dressed scantily clad? They have big tits, showing their ass off or what?

[red-lipstick-girl]

I would feel like shit, it was a bad situation and I wouldn't tolerate it.

[In_Trance]

You're 46 ffs.
Get off social media. You should know better

[Potteplante]

Don't care about social media.

[CarolinaGirl5]

You're 46 years old. Grow up and move on

[DrPepper12]

It's harmless and fine

[RingOfFire]

Are the girls hot? 😀

[nik0102]

Do you post similar pics yourself?

[KrakenAttackin]

How many other guys are in your phone?

[Rockey_the_bicker]

What do you mean by being in shoes 🤔

[Bradley2002]

Depends on what the pictures are

[KittygosMeoWW]

Embarrassed

[Nerdvana]
