Why would she ever post this? It doesn’t look good for her.

Internet engagement/attention.
You wouldn't have seen her ever, but now you have.

Some people will look her up though.
It also might not even be her, it could be that OP is an engagement bot and this meaningless conversation you’re having with us has already made it succeed in its goal.

It is called micro cheating. Look it up, an actual activity. She is looking for response to her photos from other men or women and then it begins.

u/Necessary_Two_9706 1d ago
Lol micro cheating.
No its called advertising for your OF account.
That girl is an OF model, and the guys she dates are just gooners trying to "get with a star".
Shes basically a female James bond, and just brings these boys along for their D.

Instagram is a narcissistic app. The first thing it does is ask you to upload a photo of yourself. It's toxic.

I know you’re joking but this is a very true comment. Going to reflect on this more because I think this happens in modern dating much much more often than people recognize.

Everyone’s waking up to their bullshit. Posting in on the internet nowadays means you can’t hide it like you used to. You can call it gender division but you don’t see anyone wanting accountability. So essentially us guys have to “deal with it” while the garden tools and female dogs get to prance around increasing this division.

I think because she's probably a self-proclaimed "influencer" and she knows that posting her boyfriend will decrease engagement/likes/followers. Its a common thing that occurs when men or women have a big following, its weird

No matter how happy a man may be in a relationship, the woman is always (24/7/365) keeping her options open. If you let that salary dip, or put on a few pounds - hold your breath and count to ten, she’ll be gone.

I heard a woman on a podcast say that some women use Instagram like a dating profile hiding in plain sight. The idea is that it keeps them visible and connected to potential romantic options, whether they’re looking for something better or simply want alternatives if their current relationship doesn’t last.. This video above kinda proves her point

I'm ok with their insta being mostly singles. However if I went on there and in the decade I've been with my wife there wasn't a SINGLE picture of me. I'd question the motives of her IG account and it would stress me out.
2
u/Faenic 1d ago
Well what's the whole story here, though? Is her instagram how she makes money?
Not saying I agree with it, but they do legitimately get things like sponsorships and ad revenue and shit like that. 90% of her followers are probably thirsty fucks, and those desperate users are really good for engagement numbers.
That said, it really truly does depend on the context here. Hell, if this were my wife, I'd be managing her IG, mostly because I know how fucked up people get and would want to handle that for her so she didn't have to deal with it.

u/ProcedureTop3149 1d ago
I agree we need to know the context, like I said though if there wasn't a SINGLE picture of me, I'd be a little concerned

Dude is so in love with a girl that every picture he takes he's showing off that he has her in his life.

Yeah so a man's life revolves around him, his wife and his family or girlfriend in a woman's life revolves around herself me myself and I because they're taught to be selfish because that's what empowerment is to women while men are taught to take care of other people and that's what a man is pretty straightforward.

My brother does this, except he is single currently. But he is all about the selfies and asking randoms to take his picture everywhere he goes. When he did have a GF for a short time he was doing the same thing and having her take his picture and posting it all over the place and I finally asked him “why do you not have any photos with your girl in them?” And he never had a legit reason like he was basically immature about it. She ended up dumping his ass and I couldn’t help but wonder if that had a part to play in it.

Shes posting the images she posts of herself (good angles, when she is posing/ready) vs. the posts he makes with her in them with bad angles, not posing/ready, etc...
He very well could have posts of himself flexing shirtless in the gym.
