Relationships

Men who like and comment on Instagram ‘models ‘

Some friends and I were talking recently about one of their partners doing this and I just read another thread where someone asked about the man she’s seeing doing it . I’ve always thought it a little odd but now I’m really wondering what exactly does a man get out of liking or commenting on half naked women’s photos , women he doesn’t know and never will on sites like Instagram . It seems many of the men doing this are in relationships or married yet still take the extra step beyond the looking , to actually like or leave a comment . I’m interested to hear people’s opinions as to what they get from this

I think a lot of these men are just entitled sleazeballs who are simply just self-validating their entitlement.

Sad little men reaching out hoping for recognition, fantasising about catching one of these women's eyes..

Do you mean they are fantasising that the woman might reply or fantasising that they possibly have a personal relationship?

It’s sleazy and pathetic imo. Looking once in a while is one thing but a man publicly commenting so they and anyone else can see that he fancies her is gross.

Sleazy, hurtful to the women they are with and uneccessary. It's addictive too and the danger is an escalation into seeking sex elsewhere.

They're intellectually lacking and thirsty with nothing better to do with their time?

It's crossing the line. A long time ago, men might have read naughty magazines and that would be it. These days, they are able to actually contact women they like the look of and that brings with it the possibility of contact. It's inappropriate.

I also don't think their tiny minds can comprehend once the 586 layers of make up, fake hair, fake nails, filters and photoshop are removed they would be unrecognisable 😉

Suspect they're not very bright men who don't really get the Internet, or how public this sort of creeping is. Similar to the women on the social media of male models/actors/pop stars.

Not a good look.

Pathetic and I wouldn’t be with a man who did this. Get a life, for gods sake, sad creeps.

My ex did this and I was a glamour model at the time. Some men are never satisfied.

I would want to know about this super early. How easy is it to find them on there?

Crystal, are you saying that you being a "glamour model" should have "satisfied" your ex more than another woman would ?

Some men try it on with every woman who crosses their path online or irl.

Couldn’t agree more that it’s immature and pathetic . Am more wondering if people think they do it because they expect the women might actually reply or if it’s about asserting dome type of entitlement to judge and approve of women’s appearance /bodies as a couple of people have mentioned
