OH follows a lot of models on social media, should I be bothered?

[FirstTimePoster2019]

Hi I’m a little confused as to how I should feel about my OH who’s in his 30s following a lot of models on social media. I’m not insecure in the slightest or paranoid. But it’s shocked me I’ve only recently found out. How would you feel? I think I might be overreacting
Thanks in advance

Personally I think he's 30, not 80, he's hardly a per erg when models are 18-25 usually. If he was messaging them I'd have him out but it's hardly a crime

I don’t think it is necessarily anything to worry about BUT when I’m talking to or dating a new guy I always look who they are following and if they follow lots of models etc it really puts me off! Not because I’m insecure just something that makes me question their character 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bit strange that my ex 40 followed models, random other famous women I'd never heard of and often liked pics of amateur porn starsand random women. These women looked about 20 years younger too! When I confronted him he was adamant he hadn't followed or liked their pics intentionally. So one day snuck a look at his IG and he'd been purposely searching these random women to have a look and prob a wank. Was not impressed

Its all just a sign of the times now, with social media, and all that you can view all over the place. To be following,or hooked on models and so called celebs,is so naff and stupid, I am always wondering what has happened to the mindset of some people these days. !

Well, my husband follows Brexiteers and climate change skeptics...which would really cause most Mumsnet marriages to implode.

It's only pictures. Don't make the mistake of seeing these women as competition or comparing yourself unfavourably to them. Airbrushmongous, mate. Your boyfriend is a bit tragic but really there's nothing too sinister in it. (I follow Bret Contreras, Kenya Sekai and other good looking male fitness types on FB. I'm tragic too.)

But actively following them, updated automatically on every post/image or whatever they out up ...?

That's not how instrgarm works. Your feed shows you people you interact with most and things Instagram thinks you will want to see.

So if I open my feed, I have to scroll a while or actively look up Chris Hemsworth to see his photos. My feed is full of my friends whose photos I consistently. I have scroll for a good while to see the people I follow but dont interact with. So dont see constant updates on their life.

My feed is full of funny and intelligent people, some artists, speakers etc.
I think who you follow reflects on who you are.

In that case I'm immature, sarcastic and cynical.

Thank you for all your responses. It has knocked my confidence a little, I’m going to confront him over it & let him know how it makes me feel & we will see what happens after. Thanks again

I wouldn't like it. I would find it a bit pathetic.
