Is liking other girls Instagram pictures cheating?

No

No

No

No, I wouldn’t class it as cheating.

But, you’re entitled to leave a relationship for whatever reason you like, the rules for that are entirely down to you.

It may be sleazy. Who wants to be dating that man ... the one who is always giving the eye to every other woman in the room. Bleurgh. Creeps

Yes not cheating but definitely horribly naff….FFS who needs to LIKE a picture of a stranger anyway??

No

BUT - I wouldn't like this in a partner

No, of course not. But I’d asked what he’s gaining or trying to achieve by ‘liking’ the picture of a stranger. I mean why bother?

No, I wouldn’t class it as cheating.

And what kind of pictures specifically? Are we talking half dressed Instagram models or is this girls that he knows posting everyday family pictures etc?

I work with a girl who brags about the fact that she made her boyfriend delete every female from his social media accounts (including friends and family!) as he “shouldn’t be interacting with and other girls at all” 🙄 personally I think he’s a complete mug for that one!

Not cheating, but gross and creepy if you're in a relationship or over a certain age

No not cheating.

But I’d agree with creepy and disrespectful and I’d certainly be calling a long term partner out for it and dumping a newish boyfriend. A boundary would be crossed.

Is it one particular woman OR a few?

Of course not

It's not cheating but most men do not like Instagram photos - if they are posey, sexy etc photos - without the motive of flattering and trying to make a connection with the young woman ..... Which is not strictly cheating, but is certainly casting your net about and trying to make romantic & sexual opportunities with them.

I don't think so no, but it's sleazy and I would have little respect for a partner who did it.

"Just messages" is cheating though!

Anyway the answer to most male behaviour of this type is to ask if they - the male in question - would be absolutely fine with their gf doing it to other men .....and the answer to that is usually a big fat no.

They might try to brazen it out by saying they would be ok with it, but if their gf really starts doing it, they are most definitely not.

It’s not cheating. But it could be a boundary in relationship.

They'll also try to brazen it out by comparing *not like with like i.e. "you like men's photos!" ... By which they mean male friend or colleague or whoever's fully dressed holiday snap or marathon snap or something.... (Neutral). Whereas they are liking young women in lingerie, swim wear, scanty club wear, scanty work out wear, cleavage shots etc.

Well we don't know if it's strangers or acquaintances or both.

No but my boss does it. He's middle aged and married and follows all these lame accounts like Liz Hurley and Abi Titmuss and likes their sleazy pics!

According to my therapist it’s
‘micro cheating’

Not in the slightest.
A friend nearly got dumped because he liked some insta pics.
How insecure can one person be?

It’s not cheating but if he is following loads of bikini models and liking their pics it does show a level of disrespect to you in my opinion. It’s also somewhat pathetic and rather juvenile and I’d find that a massive turn off. It’s rather like looking at other girls whilst out with you, no one expects people to be blind to attractive people, I often see hot men and notice them but I don’t ogle and stare at them as that’s rude and disrespectful to my husband. You can notice the beauty in others without making a big show of it and going out of your way to follow them online. How would he feel if you were following lots of half naked buff men online?! My guess is he probably wouldn’t like it….

Context is needed - female friend's random photos? Sexy, posing photos?

Models, sexy, posing photos
