Never get any "likes" from females on my pics on social media :/

Hi all,
I have 250+ people on my social media. 95% of them who I know in real life and of the females, I know for sure have never had any fights etc. with them - wouldn't call any of them best friends but at the very least nice acquaintances...

yet when I post a pic up, not even 1 girl would ever click "like".. I know I can't really expect it when we're not close friends but it's only a like, not a financial loan and I feel generally, people aren't super selective on likes (i.e don't just reserve them for very close friends/family)

I have occasionally liked their pics as well yet never get one back.

On one of the social media, I can see exactly who has viewed my pic (by clicking on it for a close up) and often, it's more than 45 people (with ~50% women) but never ever even 1 like..

I'd say I'm slightly above average looking (based on what I'm told.. by men mostly though :( ) but I know I'm definitely not a 10 out of 10. I've seen girls who are very plain to girls who are amazingly beautiful get plenty of likes from girls so I wouldn't think it's an envy thing but it is disheartening to not ever even get 1...

Need to know what sort of thing you are posting, and whether you have dog ears/Harry Potter glasses etc.

😂 This has proper cheered me up after a really long day

Fatted · 23/04/2019 22:10

What do your friends in real life say?

Do you have any?

Wheresmyvagina · 23/04/2019 22:15

Adults don't care about things like this
Are you posting annoying selfies? I ignore those.

JaneJeffer · 23/04/2019 22:20

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket.

FlossieTeacakesFurCoat18 · 23/04/2019 23:30

I just want to know which social media site tells you who's looked at your picture Shock

BackforGood · 23/04/2019 23:43

YOu sound about 12. Do you realise this is Mumsnet ?

It's obviously because they're really jealous of you OP. They're really worried you're going to steal their partners. Is that what you wanted to hear?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

nocoolnamesleft · 23/04/2019 23:57

I suspect it is because women are more discerning.

RosemaryHoight · 24/04/2019 00:03

Really? How funny. Then come to mumsnet to get opinions.

RosemaryHoight · 24/04/2019 00:05

Like on mumsnet people will help you through this.

specterlitt · 24/04/2019 00:21

This is what you worry about? Please stop looking for validation on social media, a like means absolutely nothing. Value your actual relationships and self for who you are and not what you look like.

Although, if I am honest, I'm not sure what you want to be told? That women must be jealous of your looks?

You can buy likes for about £1 you know, OP...

I have a few friends, theyre good looking and I really like them, but all their photos are over posed and cringey. I know other beautiful ladies who take ordinary photosm rarely post them etc and I am much more likely to like their pics tbh. They just seem less desperate and try hard. When I see someone with loads of pouty faces, one leg on tip toes etc I roll my eyes and move on...Im too old for that sh*t

Alicewond · 24/04/2019 00:43

I only “like” photos I actually enjoyed seeing, such as a family pic of a uni friend I haven’t seen for a while, or an amazing photo of something else. I don’t like selfies, they are just asking for attention. Why on earth do people care so much whether non close friends or strangers “like” them???

MollyHuaCha · 24/04/2019 00:45

I'm slightly below average looking. I don't get any 'likes' either.

Oh, I remember now, I don't actually have any social media accounts.

Just delete Facebook, Snapchat and all the others. Problem solved.

TheBulb · 24/04/2019 00:57

Are you confusing social media with Rate My Duckface Selfie or something? And do you honestly refer to other adult women as ‘females’ and girls’ and give them marks from 1 to 10 on their appearance?

Why are your ‘above average’ looks relevant to your social media posts? Is every single one a selfie? Surely no one’s that vapid.

Pickleandparty · 24/04/2019 01:00

I agree. I would hate to be a young teenager now. All these girls just fishing for likes and relying on them.

wigglesniggles · 24/04/2019 01:09

OP you are sounding really shallow. Why can't you just step away from social media?

ilovesooty · 24/04/2019 01:11

Well if you know most of these people in real life they know what you look like anyway.

WanderingTrolley1 · 24/04/2019 01:11

How incredibly sad. You need more in your life to think about, OP.
