Are you ok with your husband/wife/partner liking bikini pictures?

Or underwear/revealing pictures.
I was just on Instagram and ended up on one of the Love Island contestant's pages.
There were a few revealing pics of her in a bikini or in underwear, and I was able to see that it was 'liked' by a male acquaintance of mine, who's in a long term relationship and has a 2 year old child.
I know it doesn't mean he's cheating, but I'm not sure how I feel about it really. Sure, we all think others are attractive, but is it necessary to like revealing/almost naked photos? Maybe his partner is ok with it, who knows. I just find it a bit disrespectful.

Also, the Love Island star is 20 years younger than his partner.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest.

SoRad · 08/08/2023 17:29

He probs just mindlessly liked…. Like most people on SM

Isthebusstillrunning · 08/08/2023 17:29

If it's just a regular picture, ok.
However the girl in the picture was wearing a thong bikini and was facing backwards.

So? Do you not find photos of male celebrities attractive?

sweeneytoddsrazor · 08/08/2023 17:30

So he liked a picture. No big deal

SwordToFlamethrower · 08/08/2023 17:31

Totally gross. No not acceptable.

Isthebusstillrunning · 08/08/2023 17:31

Fair enough, everyone is different.
I do find other men attractive, I just think liking almost naked pictures is disrespectful.

I like men's photos 🤷🏼‍♀️

FoodFann · 08/08/2023 17:32

Of course it’s not okay. But it’s also none of your business.

Women aren't known for hiring prostitutes and spending £££ on onlyfans. So not at all comparable

Xrays · 08/08/2023 17:33

I’ve called my dh out on this. I don’t really care if it’s someone mega famous with a million followers etc but he was liking weird accounts of relatively unknown models with huge boobs and following them and I didn’t like that. So I told him so and he unfollowed them. I said I don’t really care if he looks as long as I don’t know about it but I’m not a fan of him liking stuff, it’s weird and it also appears in my own feed as I don’t follow / like many things (whereas he does) so I don’t want my nice feed full of crochet and funny cute animals to be intercepted with photos of women with size LLLL breasts. No thanks.

ssd · 08/08/2023 17:33

I'd worry more if he didn't

Who said anything about prostitutes and OnlyFans 🙄

I like all sorts of stuff on social media - attractive men, food, cute puppies, memes, interesting facts. Last night I ended up reading about the worlds oldest twin prostitutes in Amsterdam - it doesn't mean anything other than I caught in a random internet rabbit hole Grin

sweeneytoddsrazor · 08/08/2023 17:34

Do you think he closed his eyes every time she appeared on screen in a thong bikini?

ConcernedCatmother · 08/08/2023 17:35

My FIL does this, he’s 70 and married and follows/likes photos of 18-20year olds in thongs/bent over. It’s grim, younger than his daughters. I’m no contact with him as I don’t want to associate with a sleazy loser.

fullbloom87 · 08/08/2023 17:36

No I'm not okay with it. It's tacky and immature. Perve all you like but keep it to yourself.

I must have missed the prostitutes and onlyfans in the OP

Not comparable.... oh the irony!

Dacadactyl · 08/08/2023 17:36

No I wouldn't be ok with this. AT ALL.

For a start I'd wonder what had happened to my husband cos he doesn't have any social media and secondly he wouldn't perv at girls online anyway.

It is the height of disrespect and I wouldn't start liking pictures of topless men because it is disrespectful.

FuckNuggets · 08/08/2023 17:37

Of random strangers on social media? Completely unacceptable. Of celebs, meh doesn't bother me. I spent half an hour this morning scrolling through Instagram looking at pics (and liking) of Ryan Gosling as Ken, where he was mostly shirtless. I often have pics of David Boreanaz as my phone wallpaper. Sometimes he's not wearing a shirt either. Blush

Do you have a partner?

Yes, I'm married.

TrishM80 · 08/08/2023 17:41

Don't worry, he's unlikely to run off with the Love Island girl.

Isthebusstillrunning · 08/08/2023 17:44

Ok it's a celebrity, but what if that starts becoming his female colleague/friend?

Well my DH is 48 and if was liking pictures of someone off a reality show with barely any clothes on, a few years older than our daughter, it would turn my stomach.

Thankfully he isn't a pervert.

And no, I don't go looking to perv over men half my age to like their photos, because I'm not a sad twat.

The threads on here where the women leer and perv over fella's make me cringe so hard.
