5 things you are doing on social media that turn men off
It has become difficult for most of us to imagine our life without social media. From sharing our photos to commenting on our friends’ posts, meeting new people to even falling in love online, social media has almost become a part and parcel of our life. However, no matter how much we enjoy spending our time on these platforms, they also have the potential to negatively impact our romantic relationships. How? Here are a few habits that can turn off your lover and make him question your social media etiquettes.
1. Posting risqué selfies
A few selfies are fine, but be aware of how revealing they are. Unless you’re at the beach, selfies that show off a lot of skin can actually scare off potential boyfriends. Guys who are looking for a girlfriend may not take you seriously if all of your selfies are a little risqué and revealing. Whether you mean to or not, it sends the signal that you’re just having fun and not looking for a real relationship.
2. Ranting and raving
Social media was created in large part as a platform for complaining, sure, but you don’t want to overdo it. For the record, most guys will like that you’re opinionated and passionate about subjects, so if you feel strongly about something, feel free to post something. Still, there’s a fine line between expressing your opinion and going on rants. Some guys will get turned off if they see your Facebook page and it’s nothing but long paragraphs raving about everything wrong with the world.
3. Vaguebooking
Whether it’s friend, foe, or lover, nobody likes when a person does some vaguebooking on social media. Posting vague and cryptic messages on social media is akin to playing games in a relationship. If a guy notices that you do this, he’ll assume you like playing games and are more than a little immature. If you can’t come out and say what you mean, most guys aren’t going to waste their time trying to figure out what you mean.
4. Posting pics of other guys
It’s usually best to minimize the number of pictures of random guys on your social media. Potential boyfriends are going to see these pics and you probably don’t want them to be unnecessarily jealous or intimidated. If you have a brother or close friend who keeps popping up in your photo albums, that’s fine, but the more random guys found in your pics, the faster a good guy’s feelings for you will fade.
5. Tweeting like it’s your job
Some guys will be overwhelmed and turned off if you tweet too often. Reading 10-tweet rants on a daily basis is a bit tedious. Remember, nobody wants to follow someone who’s going to be clogging up their timeline every day.
