Reasons DH would take selfies in only his underpants?

50 replies

Hmm.

Selfies of him flexing his muscles while wearing only underpants - now why would he do that? Also lots of him without a top on. He’s mid 40’s not a young un! He looks great btw but is this normal behaviour in a long married man with DC?

Anyone else’s DH do this for entirely innocent reasons?

Done that Single as well as the ones he got spam from but this would have been from 2017-early 2019 as that’s when he had that phone.

Am going to try a Hoogle reverse image search. Will it show up dating site profiles as I’ve read that it doesn’t?

I take photos in my underwear a lot for weight loss comparison

NotSoNaiceAnymore · 24/03/2020 20:31

Google not HoogleConfused!

Depends on the site. Some will show up publicly, some won't.

Minionmomma · 24/03/2020 20:32

Yep create a fake tinder bumble and hinge profile and see whether he’s on there x

LovesNettles · 24/03/2020 20:34

Hoogle. Had me all excited for a minute there Grin "reversee" is another reverse image app that works well.

NotSoNaiceAnymore · 24/03/2020 20:40

I think it’s more ‘normal’ for women to take underwear selfies nowadays isn’t it? We’re all constantly trying to get bikini bodies aren’t weHmm. Don’t hear much about ‘speedo’ bodiesGrin. Middle aged dads taking underwear pics isn’t so mainstream is it?

I’ll try that one too Loves thanks. Going to keep digging as seeing those photos gave me an incredible sinking feeling, can’t really explain it. Haven’t got much else to do at the moment!

I mean, i frequently take photos of myself in my underwear when i feel really good about how i look. They don't go anywhere, im just really vain.

AHippoNamedBooBooButt · 24/03/2020 20:48

My dh takes selfies in just his pants. He does it cos he's an extrovert, vain and just really loves a selfie. I trust him 100% though so it's a non issue.

Alicenwonderland · 24/03/2020 20:52

When I was on Tinder and PoF is often get married men messaging me. They'd admit they were married and were looking for fun and thought it was okay as their wives didn't sleep with them anymore! It's really common sadly. I'd tell them I wasn't interested and to make more effort at home!

Minnildn · 24/03/2020 21:04

Just innocently mentioned this to my DH, he thinks it's weird...

OneFootintheRave · 24/03/2020 21:56

@SidsWife - pics of bare arses and poo? What's going on with the poo? Grin

SandyY2K · 24/03/2020 21:58

I've done this to chart my weight loss progress.

I'm part of a body change group and men in the group do this as well....

When some of the guys in my gym are getting in shape for competitions they do this as well. It's not necessarily shared with their partners.

I've also received spam dating site emails. I've not signed up or searched them as someone mentioned above.

I also get viagra spam and penis extender spam and can assure you I have absolutely no need for any of those things being a female since birth.

Flipsockflop · 24/03/2020 22:05

My best friends ex husband did this and they were for 2 dating sites (even tho his wedding ring could be seen in some of the pics)
He had loads of other red flags - not just the pics.

Buggedandconfused · 24/03/2020 22:07

Sign up to Fab Swingers, it’s free and you can instantly hide yourself. see if he is on there... also Badoo which are both hook-up sites. A bit unusual to take those kind of shots for a dating site in my opinion.

vegansprinkle · 24/03/2020 22:09

What does your gut say?

WanderingLost167 · 24/03/2020 23:19

Too tame for fabswingers I'd say.

florababy84 · 24/03/2020 23:22

I get a LOT of spam from dating sites. No idea why and I have no time to be gadding about cheating.

Unless the emails were things like 'here is your password for your new account' I would not be too suspicious about that part.

Choo975 · 24/03/2020 23:39

If it smells like shit it usually is shit

LukeSkywalkingOnTheseHaters · 24/03/2020 23:41

I'm younger than your husband but take photos of myself in gym changing rooms from time to time. Use them to see any progress as can be hard to spot just looking in the mirror everyday over time.

If a partner found them and accused me of something I would be annoyed and worried by their insecurity and ability to pass judgement as guikty. Tread with caution, just ask in a non confrontational way?

Buggedandconfused · 25/03/2020 08:01

Yes but no dating app info comes as spam to inbox, that’s just BS.
A lot of guys on Fab Swingers only show partially clothed shots. The more intimate ones get sent via message. Check his deleted photos on his phone OP.

Isitsixoclockalready · 25/03/2020 09:50

Thing is that any responses on here will be based on people's own experiences so it will range from 'nothing to see here' to 'he might be up to something.'

NoMoreDickheads · 25/03/2020 10:00

The only innocent reason I can think of is that if it's not for weight loss it could be to show muscle/training development.

But that maybe doesn't explain the amount of photos, and that the timing coincided with 'accidental' communication from dating sites is a bit of a coincidence.

billy1966 · 25/03/2020 12:10

Obviously could be suspicious and a wee bit sad but if it is the EXACT same pose it could be he's checking for definition as he's a gym bunny.

A sinking feeling could be your gut....gut is rarely wrong.

PrawnSacrifice · 25/03/2020 20:38

I have previously taken similar pics of myself as motorisation to help with either weight loss or a training program so I can A/B compare progress.

Never shared them for fear of being considered vein.
