Would you put your half-clothed glamour shots on FB?

[TheClaws]

... like a friend did? I still can’t quite understand it. She had only a shirt on, not buttoned. I don’t have an issue with her having the photo shoot, but having the image of her mostly unclothed mostly on a rug pop up on my FB feed while I’m sipping my coffee. Plus the 10 other images she posted separately.

Isn’t that weird? For context, she is 45, has 2 DDs, and is divorced. Supposedly this was for a new-ish boyfriend.

It is that odd combination of vanity and insecurity. I'd tell her she looks amazing, to try build her self esteem. But really, what is the point of contrived pictures on FB? Everyone knows what she really looks like, they're hardly going to be fooled she's suddenly turned into Nigella Lawson when every time they see her she looks like Nigel Lawson.

No. Especially not at her age.

Bit early to be such a knob isnt it?

As to whether she looked good - I don’t think I’m her target market with those particular images, really. I found them difficult to look at and think she could have kept them between herself and her DP. I don’t want to see boobs sunburned too many times.

Then hide the post and move on

And that was after they were put through a very kind blurring filter, I think

Possibly not.

I also wouldn't go onto another SM site and ask other people to sneer at my friends choice. I would have to look in a mirror and wonder what kind of friend I was.

Alonso I’ve already SEEN it. I’m aware I can hide posts, unfollow, unfriendly, etc. This is is about the wisdom of putting such posts up in the first place.

I wouldn’t, but largely because I wouldn’t want them getting out of my control.

I wouldn't do the shoot let alone put on Facebook. If she has the confidence to do it good for her (her age doesn't matter - she is still quite young).

However she is silly to put them on Facebook. I can understand being proud of them but once they are online they can be copied and put anywhere. How would she feel if they ended up on an adult site?

I have, as a favour to the photographer who used them promtionally. But then I’m quite proud of my wobbly, sun damaged, old body. It’s produces a couple of kids, done some interesting stuff and got me where am today relatively unscathed.

Yes the state of my boobs may have privately offended people who profess to be my friend but they’re just boobs.

Its about sneering at your friend.

One of my friends has done this, so what?
I really couldn't get worked up about it. Each to their own, if they're confident good on them.

Although 45?! Surely you know that's far too old to be doing such frippery and you should be sat at home buttoned up and thinking about knitting instead of selfies
(joke, in 40s myself lol! )

Buggered she is an acquaintance only from years ago. She is a bit of a FB drama queen so I only keep her on FB for the entertainment value TBH. She really delivered this time.

I know a woman who does this. She's a friend of a friend. She's also over 60 and and escort. She looks good.

Annnnd there we are...

If she's your friend, you will know better than most what she may have been through in the past years culminating in her divorce. Can't you just be happy for her? Rejoice that she sounds like her life is on the up and up?

I wouldn't but I can totally understand why someone else might. Especially if she likes the way she looks in them.

If a friend posted something similar I would continue to sip my coffee whilst zooming in in the shot scrutinising every detail and comparing it favourably (☹️) or unfavourably (😊)with my own middle aged body.

Honey would you put several photos of yourself on your FB in sexual poses, semi-naked?

No I wouldn't and I would be a bit horrified if one of my friends suddenly appeared on my news feed like this. But tbh it's better than an acquaintance of some years back who about once every two years posts a huge rant detailing her latest row in her family. I feel a bit trapped on fb, not sure why I stay on it.

The elders are on their way, a chastity belt has been wrought from iron, the uptight ones are gathering stones and the village pond is being prepared for dunking!

Surely this is no different to people posting swimwear pix in terms of skin exposure? Not sure I would post them all on fb but I too might want to celebrate looking great in a pic with my friends on a medium designed for sharing pix......

Judgemental, much, OP?

Everything people post on FB is contrived in some way.

What do her personal circumstances have to do with anything? If you don't like it, you can block the post or stop following her.

And what do YOU hope to get from posting on here? Some sort of weird validation that your smug attitude is OK?

I do have to laugh at the MN high and mighty squad, never had a judgemental thought enter their virtue signalling little heads. Bless them.

OP, no I bloody well wouldn't - tacky and desperate is not a good look at any age.

Sexual poses.... I presume she isnt legs akimbo flashing her fanjo?

No- I wouldn’t put anything on social media that I wouldn’t be happy with my boss, colleagues, professional peers and clients seeing.

She’s obviously not a real friend. You do sound like you are a bit above yourself, gossipy at best, bully at worst.

Just let her be, everyone is different right?
