Sounds like you also share her sense of self entitlement.

Sounds like you also share her boyfriend's trash behaviour.

I cba to explain but I'll try. If a girl knows in her head that your man has been liking those type of pictures of her and they are then together, she thinks that he thinks she's hot etc. And if she's interested in him she'll flirt with him. I know bc I've been that girl (without knowing the guy is taken) and my friends have been in the same position too. it's my personal opinion but my relationship advice is usually solid so.


So a girl jumping to conclusions about a like on a photo is disgusting?
some people can like a photo for any reason, usually if i know the person i just like the photo for the fact their my friend regardless of what the post is.
The only thing wrong of the “guy” in your paragraph is flirting with you and him not telling you he’s in a relationship.
Seems like you must be insecure af and stupid to find a simple meaningless like on a photo “disgusting” and automatically assuming it means you like the person.
So ye anyone who seeks your advice...Big Yikes

These aren’t random celebrities, it’s people that he knows (and even some he used to go out with) I get easily jealous because of past relationships and being messed with a lot so I get a bit insecure about these things so I’m probably overreacting. Should I mention it to him?

I didn't say they like them? I'm saying that they find them attractive in those particular photos. Also I'm talking about a very specific situation, a boy ONLY liking those types of pictures of other girls, no normal selfies etc just when they're "half naked".
I'm not talking about a simple meaningless like either, stop twisting what I said.

Thats the thing tho you basically claimed earlier just because a guy liked your photo you thought “oh he must like me” and so you tried to flirt.
You based that off a like...Thats such daft logic.

Lol this is nothing about liking a girl, it's about finding her attractive and making it known. I didn't say I tried to flirt with him first, he was flirting with me and I was aware that he found me attractive bc he was liking all of the posts on my instagram where I'm wearing more revealing clothes. That's the only reason reason I noticed him flirting with me otherwise I wouldn't have payed attention. Although in other cases the girl flirts first which happens with some of my friends all the time.
Again you think that I'm implying that liking a photo means you like the girl. I never once said or implied that. Liking a girl and finding her attractive in half naked pictures are two very different things unless you're extremely simple minded. But then again you are a boy so.

So in a nutshell your logic is that putting a like on a revealing picture is an indication of finding someone attractive. Judging from what you say “finding her attractive and making it known”
You don’t no what intention the like was for. Could be just because their friends. He could just like any photo of anyone he knows. Theres to many factors to just conclude thats the reason they pressed like on a photo.
You have a brain of a peanut Literally.
Wouldn’t surprise me if your the girl who penis barricades males from your friends because you get no attention.
Does he actually know that you can see what he's liking? I had a friend who followed porn accounts and I said why do you do that don't you worry about your wife seeing, and he said how could she when she doesn't follow them, so I showed him where you could see, and he's never done it again.

He probably doesn't see it as disrespectful to you. We see things very differently than they do. The thing is, if you tell him it bothers you, he should stop. There's no need for him to like those photos, it's not like you're asking him something unreasonable. The way he reacts to what you say to him should tell you everything you need to know.

Everything you've said is so wrong. How many times do I have to say that this is a specific situation with SPECIFIC factors that I am describing.
Loool you hope that would be the case but it's not :// sorry

Who doesn't like half naked girls...on insta or a dodgy website here and there....

:wink:

I might like this post but doesn't mean I'm going to settle down with you or even want to know you....so it could be the same for him with insta.

Solely based on the fact that I have a different opinion to you? But I'm the "peanut brain"?

Ye but Your “opinion” makes you come across very insecure and probs easily paranoid. In your posts you concluded that anyone who opposes your “opinion” is a “disgusting” male.
Just curious, Do you ask to check your bfs phone everyday too and stalk his social medias every minute?
Again Wouldn’t surprise me if you didn’t have one though.

Mention it nicely if it bothers you. You probably find guys good looking too but the difference is that you can see that he likes other girl's pictures. Honestly, jealousy can create doubts so talk to him about it. If he loves you to the moon and back, I'm sure liking these pictures are pretty harmless.

I'm just defending my own opinion which a lot of people share in the real world outside of tsr, you'd know if this wasn't your life :/ I never called anyone a disgusting male lol you need to improve your comprehension skills bc so far everything you've accused me of is so untrue.

i trust my boyfriend so no :smile:

Defending something that was never really attacked harshly. K den
Have you looked at pictures of naked guys? I wouldn't want my gf to only see me naked. That's how things get stagnant and people cheat
You do not trust him. Otherwise you wouldn't be asking this on here.

He also, does not see a long term future with you. If a guy is really in to and wants to make your relationship something true and honest then he wouldn't be liking other girls that are provocatively dressed etc. He wouldn't feel the need to. It's a simple as that.

Either he's a guy with no respect for you or he's not mature enough for a real relationship yet. Sure, he maybe ready for the physical side of seeeing either, showing love. But the mental part of putting you before him, supporting you and making you feel valued. No, he's not ready for that. Accept he'll eventually cheat on you and enjoy your time together, or, find another guy.

It doesn't have to be the first guy that shows interest either. They're usually the ones hoping you'll be on the rebound. Take some time for yourself and don't settle for anyone that makes you feel this way.
