Women and Pictures

You know, I'm a fan of moderation - if you're taking pics of everything you eat, do, etc., that is WAY too excessive. Unfortunately everyone takes pics like this nowadays and you can't avoid it; my suggestion is to just find a decent middle ground.

Don't do it. Don't cave.

I haven't uploaded a picture in over 3 years, and that ones still my profile pic. That said it's nice when family/friends have interesting pictures of stuff their doing, but 90% of the ones on there are boring crap.

ie. picture of buddy posing with the bear he just bowhunted - very cool. picture of a couple girls duckfacing the mirror before going out on friday - f*king lame.

I agree with woodywoodford. OP hunt more bears, or snap quick photos of interesting things. I hate taking pictures but the ones on my phone are pretty epic and fun to go through.

I never really take pictures of myself. Any photos of me are ID photos, holiday photos with friends/family, or photos of some event.... I'll also admit to having snapped a photo in the gym mirror after a particularly great workout (there was nobody else on the floor).

But girls? They go out one night and come back with two dozen photos. How do you even do that??? I might have two dozen photos of myself from the past decade.

As a newly certified user, and a man ... I must reply. How many men do you see carrying cameras and taking photos? Think about that. You should have something along the lines of zero.

Now, if you are secure and you have a need to take a photo and post it ... do it! You can take your woman's comment into consideration. But she should not influence your final decision. Neither should I. By the sound of it .... you are not a bro that snaps picks of himself and the general surrounding. At least not in my opinion.

In a week, let us know if you took some pictures.

I upload pictures from travelling for friends, that's about it.

Disconnect your Facebook account.

I'm glad to hear all this, thanks guys! Yeah, I'm not at all the person taking pictures of himself all the time. I havent uploaded anything in years, my profile picture remains one from about 3 years ago!

I'm just getting a little tired of her constant complaining! Like if I'm at work and head to lunch, I see something interesting, she wants a picture sent to her about it! She does it all the time so she automatically reverts to that defense and she just doesnt listen to reason. I guess middle ground might be the best course of action.

strange, i told my girlfriend once that i don't like to have my picture taken and that was the only time i heard about it.

This goes without saying, but don't take selfies. You just might get trolled by your dad...

but feel free to Instagram your food.

I hate it when people do that! No one gives a damn about what you had for your meal. And please, don't post pics of yourself on FB all the time. I always feel like those girls think too highly of themselves.

And if your girlfriend wants you to do this, ask her why. She sounds as if she's a bit too obssessive...if you don't want to do it, then don't do it.

If this is the only complaint you have about your GF consider yourself lucky.

Personally I hate it when people take pics of food EVERY TIME we go out. You don't need to document every piece of pizza/mozzarella stick you eat.

Constant food pics are obnoxious and if your girlfriend wants more pictures of you tell her that it's her responsibility to take them.

I dont see deactivating my FB as a solution! I agree with CRE's point about how more pictures are her responsibility if she wants them.

I guess what I'm really confused on is why this is such a big deal. Anyone with any insight so I can school her the next time she brings it up?

New mothers are the worst - one of my good friends from high school just had a baby and there's probably 5 or 6 pictures every couple days of nothing more than an ugly newborn's face. Wtf, nobody cares woman.

I think I'm gonna make an effort and try to take a few more pictures where I feel its appropriate. Under protest however.
