I think a part that has confused me in recent discourse " Like = send a signal" I like tons of videos and pictures everyday from funny to informative to random ones. It doesn't even cross my mind easily that I'm sending a signal, just that yeah, that did seem nice

I don’t understand, so a man liking a bikini picture is signaling. However a woman posting a bikini picture to invite men to signal attraction to her is okay?

I'm always fully clothed, men are still weird, especially the married ones. They are the WORST...

neither are cheating… and neither are a big deal. yall got to stop being controlling. don’t tell your partner what to do, and if you don’t like what they’re doing , don’t control them, just take yourself and leave

So basically, from your perspective, dudes have to be ok with everything whilst women can pick and choose?

"you tried to show that woman you liked her picture" genuinly who does that? i like shit so the algorythms knows what i like or because i see something i like i dont think about the poster seeing my like that doesnt feel realistic and even if the person who posted it sees my likes i doubt the person would care

I really think there’s a disconnect in the way women and men think about these interactions. A man generally doesn’t think more than the fact that the woman looks good in their bikini picture. That’s it, there’s no hypothetical scenario that runs in our head, it’s “pretty girl in a bikini”. So to me if your girlfriend says “hey you cannot like any pictures of another woman in a bikini” she should also be ok with “ok, but I don’t want you to post any pictures of yourself in a bikini” and many women will say “that’s not the same thing, but I’d argue it is because women are using another woman’s body to say that liking a her picture is a sexual advancement. So by that logic, any man liking her picture is a sexual advancement.

i agree with most your takes, but not this one. at least not for your reasons. I think its just as inviting to post it as it is to liking it.

Your first bad take imo. Going to the beach where ever one in same clothes is different than a cattered pictures that are also made to generate interaction.

Tbh I feel like people truly lost the real definition of cheating. Liking another girl's bikini picture isn't cheating nor is it cheating to post one yourself. Cheating is going out of your way to be physically and/or emotionally intimate with someone else that isnt your partner. And liking and posting bikini pictures doesnt fit the definition of physical cheating nor emotional cheating. The notion that playing GTA 6, liking/posting bikini pictures, or just being polite to someone is cheating shows just how conservative and downright insecure Gen Z is.

I think a lot of people read way too much into what a like means. it takes 1/10th of a second.

I don't believe either one is cheating. however if liking someone's bikini photo is cheating then posting a bikini pic online is cheating, because random men online are gonna see it.

Idk me personally I’m fine with a guy I’m being with still finding other women attractive. Like just because I’m dating a guy doesn’t mean I’m suddenly don’t think Jason Mamoa is hot, thats still an attractive man! And I’m going to say that! So if my boyfriend sees a picture of a hot girl in a bikini, I’d rather him be like “babe, look at how hot this girl is!” Because like… I’m bi, I’ll probably ALSO think she’s hot. Go ahead and give her a like for both of us! But if he’s going behind my back about it, that’s when we’re gonna have issues because what is going through your head that makes you feel ashamed?

Men are so quick to offer up their sexual attention to women posting those photos that they think those women are asking for the attention

i think the most important thing that people need to understand in discussions like this is that EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT!!!! there are people who would be fine with their partner kissing someone else and there are people who arent fine with their partner following other people. as long as it works for them and theyre safe and happy who caressssss

People need to stop calling things cheating just because they don't like them. If that's a boundary you have, discuss it and go from there. But it's not cheating.

Neither is cheating people are just insecure. Tbh though this would be solved if Instagram didn’t broadcast everyone that liked a post. I hate that feature so much

If you like explicit videos then you’re feed will push them. So why do that. It’s weird.

I like how you changed the subject from posting bikini pics to wearing it at a beach, those are two totally different things and for two totally different reasons
