... 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. Confused

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

Any woman pointing out it is inappropriate and slightly foolish to publish this kind of photograph on a public forum must be jealous.

Absolutely ludicrous.

FB info is used by employers and and other businesses. This type of photo may have wider implications now and in the future. It is at best foolish and at worst damaging.

It is her choice, but to point out this is a foolish choice is not bitter or jealous it is sensible.

What do you think?

I don’t think the op sounds jealous. I think she just wants to gossip about some middle aged woman who’s a bit of a tart.

People are allowed to post images they like of themselves on their own page. I do it and if you don't like it you can unfollow!

qwertyuiopy · 03/06/2018 22:43

RedPanda2 yes and people are allowed to have a good laugh at them!

Her body, her choice.Celebrate her body with her OP and the fact she is comfortable in her own skin.

Come on, I'm sure you can squeeze in another platitude in there somewhere. Grin

Friends of mine seem to love the whole dress up, do a sexy photo shoot and upload photos.
My feelings that sexy shoots are not for facebook and that in an age where employers etc look at online footprints it's silly to put essentially soft porn online are separate from the fact I like my friends.

They are lovely people. It still doesn't mean I think it's wise to have playboy bunny style photos of themself for the world to see.

Nope, and I don't post pictures of my legs taken whilst I'm in the bath or in bed either. 🙄 but fb is full of attention seekers who do

A work colleague posted an album full of photos from a pre wedding shoot she'd had done for her STBH, they were the type of intimate photographs that should have been for him. Instead, she posted the lot to Facebook (intentionally). They appeared on my newsfeed so I didn't have a choice in knowing about them but I didn't click on the album which contained 35 photographs.

Another 'friend' posted her baby bump photographs, sounds fine except all she was wearing was a thong. They weren't exactly cutesy baby bump pictures, more photographs suitable for her partner.

Why the fuck do people think that their friends are interested in seeing them like that?! I don't want to know about my friends in any other capacity than a friend which means there are boundaries which shouldn't be crossed. Facebook doesn't even blur those lines as there are different privacy settings for each post you make, so you can definitely keep things for a select few only.
