New bf has pics of women on his social media

[Billypig]

I met a man three months ago. He is very sweet and affectionate.

Things are going very well, except he posts pics of women on his Facebook profile. These pics aren't explicit in the slightest but include two of his favourite TV presenters and he also posts pics of 'memories' of him with (attractive) female friends. On his phone wallpaper is one of these presenters. He's 43. Is this normal? Should I be offended?

Ugh, it's never duck. FUCK!

My partner never posts pic's of this ex on his social media
But these women are just friends of her DP.

I think men that behave like this are immature and perhaps trying to push buttons.
Be careful reaching that far, you might pull something.

Posting Pics of presenters on social media. Maybe a bit strange for a forty something year old. Having said that there's no difference between him doing that and some of my (female and middle aged) Facebook friends posting photos or memes of Tom Hardy.

Pictures of memories with his friends, no issue there really. So what if they happen to be female and attractive.

Screen saver, to each their own.

Really if it bothers you, maybe you aren't suited to each other.

Who is to say what he's doing is or isn't normal?

I personally wouldn't be happy with this at all. I would have a conversation with him to explain why his behaviour is making me unhappy/uncomfortable.

And then I'd watch his response.

If you don't like what he's doing you are well within your right to stop dating him. But I encourage you to have a conversation with him first.

I’d find a screensaver of a TV presenter a bit odd I mean - it’s not even a character.

Your boundaries are your boundaries. Don’t listen to other people telling you that you are needy, weird, obsessive, or otherwise taking the piss. All that matters is if you find it uncomfortable then either have a chat with him or cut your losses.

@Writersblock2 My sentiments exactly, couldn't agree more :-)

Two separate issues surely?
Posting FB memories of him with his friends: not really an issue is it? (If you have problems about him having female friends who you think are attractive then I'd maybe reflect on that. It's not a problem he can solve for you)

Posting pictures of celebrities he's never met and having them as screen savers on his phone.... it's a bit immature and naff. I would absolutely be put off by it, not through jealousy, but it would make me think less of him. My friends husband does this (shares photos of "hot" TV presenters on FB) and it just makes me think of a leery greasy teenager wanking to FHM in his bedroom. (Showing my age there with the FHM reference but you know what I mean, it's not the mark of a suave confident adult man!)

He sounds like a 12 year old boy. Clearly some posters here are fine with his behaviour. It wouldn't do for me.

He sounds immature tbh.

OP I take it you have zero pictures of men on your social media?

Leave. I wouldn't stand a man telling me what i could not post ( my screen a pic of my fave singer) It’s his phone.

I find it a bit immature but then plenty of my mates post pics of Tom Hardy or some such and I don’t bat an eye lid so...

I have a framed photo of Chris Hemsworth on my desk in work that's a colleague bought as a joke. I don't not love or fancy my DH though

@SimonJT why do you say that like you think you might catch out the OP in hypocrisy? I have zero pictures of men on my social media, with the exception of group shots with male friends in them. I’ve never seen any of my friends post pictures of men. I don’t think that’s unusual.

@Ellisandra So you do have pictures of men, not zero. OP also has a problem with women in group shots with her boyfriend.

I’d find it a total turn off
