    Do you think its weird if a guy or a girl is in a relationship but there is no hing of it on any social media?

    Like they are just acting as if they are single?

    Would think its odd?

    And they use social media every day etc.

    i don't think it's odd but then i'm not a social media show pony,
    it probably is odd to the majority !!

    It kind of looks like the person is hiding it though. Or ...i dunno it makes me wonder if they have a tinder profile.

    Some of the posts are very 'single life'. The partner ..is suspicious.

    I dunno i guess its depending on context.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,211 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Like ZERO pics of the partner. And they DO post a lot on social media. They are 'social media ponies ' etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,040 ✭✭✭rapul


    Yes it's strange I think.

    It's a terrible burden what others choose to do with their lives, even to the point of protecting the anonymity of their partner on social media. Stop the world, I want to jump off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,211 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    It depends on the person. I know some couples and one partner is big into social media and the other isn't and they wan't nothing to do with it.(Teacher mainly).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,653 ✭✭✭✭Plumbthedepths


    With my partner 28 years, I have a FB account and Instagram account mainly used for the sport I'm passionate about. She however wants nothing to do with social media and I respect her privacy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,807 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Honestly, who fcuking cares?
    It's their business, they can stick up a profile pic of an ostriche's arse if they like.

    I dunno Vibes, I work with two clowns who live together and seem to post the most inane, insignificant ****e about their lives every day .
    Examples would be pictures of the crap they had for breakfast with a quote saying " couples who breakfast together, stay together " or a picture of the turf being delivered.It seems to keep them happy.

    I dont think it's strange??? I have no pictures of my wife on tinder.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 409 ✭✭Titclamp


    Scroll back far enough see has this person any photos of ex's etc.
    Some people don't like that public displays of affection.
    Some couples like privacy.

    I have respect for people aren't brainwashed to air every part of heir life on the internet.

    Would you sellotape everything you have to the outside of your house for everyone to see?

    No if she has pictures with me in them, they will know that I am still alive and I will have to get a new identity.

    The real answer is no its not strange and people may not like their picture being online for a number of reasons.

    Mine is that I'm not on any of the platform as I actually talk to my friends, and what I know about using social media for hacking etc is just another reason why I don't bother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    Depends on the person. If someone is the private sort and doesn't live their life through social media then it's ok if there is no signs of their partner.

    However if it's lil miss I blow myself out on social media posting all sorts of crap but show no signs of Johnny boyfriend? Then yeah. It may very well be she's holding out for a better deal.

    He does. Two exes.

    It really seems he is compartmentalizing his life. He will say to some people i am doing something this weekend when he is spending it with his gf but he won't mention her.

    I know early in the relationship (before they were monogamous) he was texting lots of girls. Some of them he is friends with on social media.

    That might be innocent etc. But i am pretty sure he has gone out on nights where one or two of them are there. Again it might be innocent.

    He isn't very private. He is controlling though. About how people see him.

    He posts a lot on social media. But a lot of its bs. If you know what i mean.

    Like ..my life is so ****ing great etc. Its not exactly an accurate representation.

    Describes 90+ percent of social media posts

    Maybe that's it. Being a bachelor looks better as an image to him. Or a player..and he is really faithful to her. But it would look sad on social media etc to be coupled up.

    She's pretty btw. Its not that.

    So in short your describing an idiot (imo based on your posts); You can't account for stupid, leave well alone

    Social media isn't real life.

    Thirst traps don't work if the person is seen to have a significant other.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,722 ✭✭✭PoisonIvyBelle


    I don't think it's that weird. I wouldn't be posting an awful lot of couple photos on social media, not unless it was definitely very much a stable thing and even then I wouldn't be going overboard.

    Also maybe the other person just doesn't want their photo up.

    An ex of mine would take "candid" photos of me and go post them on his social media without asking, it annoyed the everliving fcuk out of me because there's "candid" and there's taking a photo of me sleeping half drooling on the bus with two chins "candid". Call me vain, but like **** away outta that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 110 ✭✭Osamabindipper


    Women tend to be more interested in posting pictures of themselves in their underwear than couple pics.

    Any links? I don't believe you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,597 ✭✭✭tdf7187


    Do you hing (sic) it's weird to have 8,600 posts on one forum in 7 months, which averages at about 400 PER DAY?

    No, no, I hing it's perfectly normal and then to decide someone's your boyfriend after one date.

    Does it not exist if it’s not on Facebook or something?

    In some eyes it doesn't. That is the issue if you know what i mean.

    I think he is cheating.

    I’m more suspicious of couples who gush about each other on social media. It comes across like overcompensation and those relationships seem to bite the dust more too.

    I put up the odd photo with muh man. No very often though.

    He could be, a lot of people are, but he could also not put much weight in such a trivial thing.

    I don't believe that it's in the terms and conditions to do so.

    If it were that alone. Maybe. Its not though.

    Anyway ...its not my fella.

    If they're driven by increasing followers or whatever maybe they're hiding any partner to appeal to the opposite sex. So you're saying there's a chance type thing.

    If that's the case, they're sad shallow tossers.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Honestly i just think he doesn't want girls he messes around with to find out he has a gf. Just in case HE has a chance with one of them.

    If there’s other issues there’s other issues. Social media posing is never going to be top of the list though.

    I don't have any photos of my other half or kids on social media. Nothing weird about it, I respect their wish for privacy

    Yet another reason to avoid the scourge that is 'social' media.

    To answer the question, yeah I would think it's a little odd if they are the type of person who posts photos all the time but nome of them include said partner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,437 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    Maybe, just maybe, she's a complete weirdo like me who doesn't want any identifiable presence on social media.

    Maybe they don't have to prove their relationship on social media? Just a thought.

    Its not about them. Its about him.

    You're making it about them, it's really about you and what you think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 601 ✭✭✭Snails pace


    I'm in a relationship with the last 18 months. Only one photo online and its not even the first photo in the post. Dont post everything we do or see, dont see the need to show every little detail.

    So anyone who doesn't have pics of their partner on social media is in a bad relationship or unhappy?

    Like ZERO pics of the partner. And they DO post a lot on social media. They are 'social media ponies ' etc.

    Why are you stalking these people ?
