To sack off a man due to his social media followings?

Recently started dating a guy, seems very nice. However I checked his instagram followings (I know) and it’s all local woman, provocative and only fans accounts. He’s mid thirties for context.

It’s given me the ick. My friend says I’m being nuts for caring but I really don’t want to waste my time (and organising babysitting) if he's pursuing other woman.

Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated!

At least he doesn’t follow the Green Party or anything like that

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 13/03/2026 20:21

I’d swerve him. He’s very clearly on OnlyFans and likes the sort of women that flashes her bits on there. You’re either tolerant of that or you aren’t, and I’m not.

CalmTheFuckDownMargaret · 13/03/2026 20:24

Also, he’ll probably be a bit shocked as he’ll have thought you were getting on so this will be out of the blue, but if he asks then I really would tell him you find all the Only Fans models he follows a bit sad and unattractive in a man. It’s not that you’re jealous or threatened - you just know when you’ve met a pitiful man.

Yeah, his SM consisting of young women's bodies would be a turnoff.

It’s the following local women that I wouldn’t be happy with .
I’d leave it off with him being honest .
You’re getting a “ I don’t think I can trust him vibe “ , what’s the point then in entering into a relationship with this guy only tormenting yourself.
Fuck that OP .

DaisyChain505 · 14/03/2026 04:39

Your friend has low standards. I’d drop this man the second I saw his following list.

AuntieDeee · 14/03/2026 05:03

Not a person I'd date.

Charlize43 · 14/03/2026 06:00

He's a Player. Probably has a subscription to that Only Fannies site too.

Fgg · 14/03/2026 06:28

If it makes you uncomfortable, that is a perfectly valid reason not to continue seeing him.

It would also give me the ick!

Namingbaba · 14/03/2026 06:38

The only fans would give me the ick. I agree it makes him look pathetic.
If you’ve only been seeing each other for a few weeks it wouldn’t bother me that much if he’s been talking to other women as I assume you’re not exclusive yet.

Camcam · 14/03/2026 07:02

Well I sent the message last night and he read it and never replied. Deleted his number and removed him from social media.

When will men realise how creepy they look doing this. 🤢

I think I’m going to remain single now. I have a pattern of attracting lovebombers. If they were clear they just wanted to get their leg over, I’d appreciate it much more.

Just don’t get why they feel the need to waste our time messaging constantly and meaningful bullshit!

Well done op!!

Camcam · 14/03/2026 07:16

Thank you all for your replies too! I’ve been second doubting myself the last few days but this has given me what I needed to give the boot.

It's disappointing, but you did what you had to do. Ignoring his wandering eye wouldn't have ended well.

ThisJadeBear · 14/03/2026 07:34

He mustn’t have much going on upstairs if he thinks you wouldn’t notice his followers/who he followers.
It is a bit pathetic for a man heading for 30.
Well done for sending the message.
I think men like him do the meaningful stuff to hook women in.

marchi · 14/03/2026 07:36

dodged a bullet there OP. His reaction says it all. Now, it’s Saturday call the girls to get out tonight

He’s a doctor and funnily enough an ex I ditched for doing the same was also one!

Makes me think they may have a God complex that woman will either let it slip or aren’t intelligent enough to notice. 😫

@marchi good shout! My friend is coming over tonight so we’re gonna have a Chinese, who needs men eh 😆

Only a few weeks so not long at all!

Just bail OP. This one's not for you. Or any of us judging by the comments.

Oh OP, that's quite the drip feed.

He's obviously studying anatomy via Only Fans. Any woman in his life will have to accept that the ongoing observation of the female form is purely for professional advancement and nothing else.

Just to keep his hand in, so to speak (well not all of it, he's a doctor not a vet 😂)

FeistyFrankie · 14/03/2026 08:37

Men like these do not make good partners. Dump and run.

MightyGoldBear · 14/03/2026 09:00

Absolutely goodbye.

I have a open phone policy in my relationship so even if a new potential partner came along who consumed content but didn't follow I'd say goodbye. Life's too short to waste it on men like that.

Squirrel60 · 14/03/2026 09:59

Drop him fast, if that's what he's like now, what would he be like if you married him?
