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...

Maybe they just don't 'like' your photos. Why should they lie

Maybe its because as you say, none of the 250 people are actually close friends. Maybe if you had some close friends on this social media account then they would like your photos?

I agree with pp it seems to be if they like you rather than the photos.
Also as you can hide friends some are probably not seeing photos.

Stop👏🏻 Calling 👏🏻 women 👏🏻 females👏🏻

It's dehumanising. It's a scientific term that can be used for any species of animal. It reduces women to their reproductive organs.

Yeah ok 🙄

No, not an envy thing......more of a ‘dull as fuck’ personality thing I expect.

Op unless you have actual children on your Facebook then they are all women regardless of age.

While it may not be the intention, females is irksome for a few of it who know it's the "go to" way to refer to women with certain groups who consider us to be less than human.
