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.

I wouldn't put them on Facebook, no.

Nothing wrong in doing the shots if it makes her happy, but I don't think it's wise/appropriate for Facebook. If only because so-called friends will gossip about it. Someone at work has a shot like that as her cover picture and it makes her an object of ridicule. People are nasty.

^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. halo

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

EXACTLY!

I don't really see what harm it's doing or how her age or marital status comes into it?

I find people who are CONSTANTLY image crafting and looking for an audience on Facebook a bit annoying but as a one off thing I wouldn't really care.

No I wouldn't. Even if i'm not friends with someone on facebook I can still go through their photographs. I would send that to a boyfriend or a husband only.

I took down all my facebook photographs after an incident withacrazybitch and only post on instagram where I have to approve requests first.

But if she's okay with it, hats off to her!

It is cringey when it's an older woman doing it. My SIL loves posting pics of herself on her bed with loads of cleavage showing and inviting eyes. Yuck.

Who cares? I used to love that show - How to look good naked. I like to think if you really knew that persons story then you'd be like, "Yeah, go you!" Can't we just be like that anyway?!

My step mother (younger than my younger sister!) put a topless pic on FB by 'accident' amongst photos of her young nieces. I put a status up saying some people are too stupid to use Facebook! It might have been screen shotted before she took it down! I did need brain bleach after seeing it though.

Someone I worked with a couple of years ago brought the photo album of her boudoir photo shoot into work. It was apparently the 2nd time she’d brought them in. One of our other colleagues (a woman) asked her to bring them in again . It’s not something I would do, but I asked polite questions and complimented her. She was in corsets and silky robes etc. She was also (gasp) over 40. Each to their own. I did think it was odd that she wanted to share and others wanted to look, but 🤷‍♀️

No I wouldn't - but then I have no "glamour" shots! ha ha. However, if my friend posted some I wouldn't worry.

Your user name is very apt.

If it’s a new boyfriend, she’s probably feeling very sexually confident right now. If it makes you feel better, she might feel a bit sheepish when she looks back.

Get yourself a new boyfriend, OP. It’ll do you the world of good.

I don't like them at any age. I've yet to see some that actually make the person look any better; the makeup is usually caked on and adds 5 years to the person.

A friend of a friend of a friend posted some on Facebook and the photographer had them posing in their underwear on their child's bunk beds with their kids teddies all over the bed. It was all kinds of wrong.

Your op said glamour shots mostly unclothed on a rug and now you’ve moved on to soft porn?

honey is that not the same thing?

good for her. I doubt shes showing any more flesh than people in bikinis in beach photos. Just be happy that she obv likes her photos.
its not to everyones taste and i wouldnt do it personally... but if it makes her feel good then why shouldnt she?

I wouldn't put glamour shots on FB for all my friends to see - I'd limit the audience to my boyfriend/FWB and hang them upstairs.

Candid shots in a similar state of undress would definitely not be going anywhere though!

POST. THE. PICS. NOW

I blocked someone I went to school with on fb recently for over sharing of half naked pics.

To be fair to her, she's gorgeous and I'm in awe of her figure and body confidence, but every day it was a new photo of her reflection in the mirror in a slinky office outfit, gym kit or sometimes just wrapped in a towel with a leg showing, usually draped over the end of her bed.

She even once posted a photo of her on the phone with her feet on her work desk, skirt hooked up to barely cover her knickers, it all looked so staged and unnatural. Fair play to her for having the confidence, but I just didn't want to see it all the time.

It was like a constant parade of soft porn.

The final straw was her posting what was apparently a 'look at my growing baby bump' pic out of the blue, complete with hands around a teeny little abdomen - which she then followed up with a 'haha! Fooled you! I was just sticking my belly out' post.

The insensitivity was the final straw.

It's all done for 'wow! You look amazing!' responses, which she'd then respond to with a pink cheeked, smiling, emoji. One or two photos of someone looking and feeling good isn't too bad imo but a continuous stream - I just don't want to see it.

OP why are you asking us if we would pose semi-naked? Whether we would or we wouldn't, isnt the point.

Social media is a hive of inappropriate attention-seeking saddo's mixed with people who want to put photos of their DCs on the beach for Aunt Maud "to keep in touch".

aw hey!..PHOTO SHOOT.like a proper one?not actual boundary breaking full of wine duckface desperado selfies?..yabu..scroll past if you arent keen?

daisychain I’m asking as I’m confused as to why so might have shared that with other people - and would others do that too? Is it something I’m missing? It is my point, thanks.

it's cringey when it's an older woman doing it

Why?

Slight derail same theme though.

We are being encouraged to put photos on our work email. I just put my ID badge photo on, others are putting FB photos on. Photos from holidays or dressed up for a night out. Some misguided individuals are putting pouty, fish face selfies on.........

Couldn’t care less what adults do.

What I do have a problem with is people who - like a friend of a friend - post pictures of their 3 year old daughter dressed in (among other abominations) a bright yellow, frilly mankini. I can’t think how else to describe it. Accompanied by the caption “Dat pout dough”. Said 3 year old was indeed pouting like the glamour model her mother apparently aspires for her to be 🙄

Well if you’re female and your genitals are covered, sitting with your legs spread is a sexual postition conversely if you’re a male and your genitals are covered, sitting with your legs spread is called a train journey.

The images OP describes are not usually allowed on Facebook and definitely not half naked with legs akimbo. Just saying.
