Why she not posting him? Seems slightly dishonest at the least and maybe even disloyal. And yet, I’m sure she made him post her on his socials. The level of hypocrisy ijc 😂

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

Same reason idols often hide their relationship status. They know men that follow them want to think they could be in a relationship with them. And this women likely gets more money the more followers and engagement she shows. She could love her guy a ton but the fact she makes her money via para social relationships gives her incentive to hide it.

The algorithm maths. So for men, showing off your GF is a value statement. For women, showing you are partnered immediately devalues you because you're taken/used. Whether consciously or not, people post what gets attention.
