Sleazy creep or am I being unfair

Nothing says creep more than religiously 👍 or ❤️ my bikini selfies whilst you're quite obviously in a relationship with another woman... like away cos if you're that disrespectful to current GF why any better to me? Biggest turn off and creep-dar indicator in my eyes🤮 anyone else agree? Or am I wrong?

Different if he's a mate and gives the same attention to other stuff I post, but when he's in a relationship and quite obviously only reacting to photos that I've made an effort in (I am single!) and not to others with DC or DN&Ns for example. Just gives me the ick🤷‍♀️

YANBU. Creepy AF.

MsTSwift · 03/03/2022 06:28

Well you see the one posting bikini selfies 🙄

tyoy · 03/03/2022 06:47

😆

tyoy · 03/03/2022 06:48

I don't post bikini selfies

MaryShelley1818 · 03/03/2022 06:49

Bikini selfies.....Good grief. Not sure who's sadder.
Important lesson for you here.....post creepy half naked photos and attract creepy men. Simple.

Social media is there solely to invite comments from others. If you aren't comfortable having comments from some people then make your social media accounts private so that only friends can see them and remove anyone who you aren't actually friends with. If you want an even smaller set of single people to comment on your bikini look, then only send them those photos.

You know there's a block function for a reason. If you really detested him you'd have already blocked him rather than getting off on the negative attention including posting on here

Raise your standards op

Lewl89 · 03/03/2022 07:00

Hmm here come the traditional criticisms of selfies. Heaven forbid you're in a BIKINI, you narcissistic harlot Wink.

Yes OP. Creepy. Some people are gross and just don't care.

Brefugee · 03/03/2022 07:00

Well. This is difficult. Because if you have, say, instagram and it's not restricted, by posting a picture - any picture, if it's of your cat or of you in a bikini or of a cake you just baked - you are inviting people to like and comment.

So it is a bit odd to be Confused about attracting that attention. IME Instagram is for atrracting a wide audience unless you lock it down. Facebook is for adding friends and family and you can severely restrict who sees what. Twitter - free for all (but you can also lock it down).
Not sure about other SM but I'm guessing this isn't your LinkedIn page?

girlmom21 · 03/03/2022 07:01

Yeah it's creepy to only like the photos where you're wearing not very much but at the same time isn't the intention to get likes and reactions?

If he makes you uncomfortable delete him.

ThinWomansBrain · 03/03/2022 07:05

posting bikini selfies on social media sets off my twat-radar TBH.
If you had more respect for yourself than to post semi naked photos online, you wouldn't have the problem of what you think about other peoples reaction to them.

burnthur5t · 03/03/2022 07:07

Wants attention, gets attention, complains

Aprilx · 03/03/2022 07:08

You post because you want people to look, like and comment though? If you only wanted single people to comment then you need to think why is that, are you hoping it will lead to a relationship? Maybe a dating site would work better if that is the case.

Im2022 · 03/03/2022 07:09

I don’t post bikini selfies so wouldn’t know. Actually, I don’t have any selfies online that can be viewed publicly. If they’re public pictures, anyone can comment or like them. So not sure why you’re complaining who likes them. Just block him.

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 03/03/2022 07:12

What kind of responses are you hoping for when you post these photos?
I think you can block people or restrict who sees your photos ?
I might need enlightenment as I'm a middle aged old dinosaur

Cakelover17 · 03/03/2022 07:13

So you post attention seeking bikini pics that you’ve ‘made an effort it’ and moan when men, sleezy or not like them. Can’t imagine you are too upset about it! You can block, change your privacy settings, tell him to do one, not post regular bikini pics. It is funny optional to let this person see your pics

Luckingfovely · 03/03/2022 07:16

Prize for the least self-aware and most self-absorbed post of the day! 🏆

Seriously, you are being an absolute dick.

  1. You post bikini selfies on open social media for attention and then moan when you get attention.
  2. If you really had an issue, you'd just block him if you don't want him liking your posts - instead of posting about it on a forum looking for yet more attention.
  3. Grow up and get a real life.

Don't post bikini selfies. Simples

LubaLuca · 03/03/2022 07:18

Ask yourself why you take and share bikini selfies.

Doratheexploret · 03/03/2022 07:23

Why would you even post a bikini selfie if you didn’t want people to look at it and comment or react. Don’t be coy you know you post them for attention !

AnyFucker · 03/03/2022 07:25

He is being unreasonable

The best way to react to bikini selfies is to studiously ignore them

FairyCakeWings · 03/03/2022 07:29

You post the pictures for attention and then when it gets you attention you bitch about the people that give you it. You do realise that taking less than a second to click like doesn’t equate to being unfaithful?

It’s you not them.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 03/03/2022 07:31

Anyone posting 'bikini selfies' then moaning about attention gives me 'the ick' too...

collieresponder88 · 03/03/2022 07:31

Why do you post pictures when you arnt wearing much ? Not being bitchy just genuinely would like to know have often wondered why people do this

fairylightsandwaxmelts · 03/03/2022 07:35

Isn't the whole point of social media for people to communicate and like each other's photos?

If you don't want people liking photos of you in a bikini, why post those photos to begin with?
