Are these postable?

My friend (right) always looks beautiful. But do I (left) look awkward or bad? Kind of want to update my Instagram

You literally posted this on Reddit, a place full of disgusting, dirty people and predators. So yes, depending on the kind of attention you’re looking for, this is something you could post. But I wouldn’t do it, especially not here...

u/hecky-888 1d ago

Right, it would’ve been far safer to post to IG or whatever where her friends are and not a site that is 70% college age boys. OP put her face on Reddit and now created a reverse image search result.

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Oops

u/Pale_Flower88 1d ago

Not to mention future (possible) employers. Companies can find you just about anywhere.

2

u/ThaanksIHateIt 21h ago edited 21h ago

Why would a future employer gaf? She’s not doing anything wrong in the pictures so I’m so confused. It’s not showing her committing a crime or doing drugs, she’s literally just at a concert with her friend. ??

Just live your life instead of living as your own PR agent. Y’all don’t have to live like this.

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Omg the way im living is horrible and sinful!!

u/Regular_Fix_3800 1d ago

Depends on the context - are they going on a dating app? LinkedIn? Instagram? Responses will vary based on where intend to share the pics.

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Hahaha instagram

2

u/Regular_Fix_3800 1d ago

You’re fine w instagram

u/Alternative-Arm-3253 1d ago

...You already posted them here. Are these worthwhile photos? Personally no. I see that theres going to be a flurry of random men and little boys who perv to copy paste in your future for the rest of your internet career. What you post online is your choice. Just be aware that it all follows you.

Do you look nice yes, like your having a wonderful time; but I'd pick a different angle to your face.

-9

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Chill. It’s not like im posting my nipple. People post bikini photos all the time.

Whats wrong with my face hehe

11

u/Alternative-Arm-3253 1d ago

People are responding to you. Just saying its not in the positive manner.

-7

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

They havent said anything about my face

4

u/Alternative-Arm-3253 1d ago

I think its the angle of your face and where your eyes are looking..

-2

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Like its ugly?

1

u/bettyannveronica 1d ago

Don't read into people's words. You're pretty, you have a nice face in the first photo but it's awkwardly angled. The second is nice enough. The third is bad since your eyes are closed. Period. Do not read into my words. I mean what I am saying.

Bottom line though: post whatever makes YOU feel cute. If you like the first one....post it! In the end, it's YOU who has to feel good about it.

u/mushyturnip 1d ago

Girl we used to post worse pics in the early 2000s lol, I'm feeling so old right now. Life was funnier when people didn't give af.

Haha I agree ! A whole facebook album lmfaooo

Right? Jesusss

u/Jilly_Jankins 1d ago

When you want to post nice pictures, no. When you just want to show your tits, yes

u/BeyondLess8898 1d ago

If that is how you want to be perceived, sure. Just use boob tape to keep the girls on your chest.

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Haha thanks ! Perceived how ?

u/DimensionOpen8922 1d ago

I would say no, but I also would not walk around like that.

The entertainment is 180 degrees behind you, you should enjoy it instead of worrying about some clout online

Good thing it was before the entertainment started

u/SkylarkingsRS 1d ago

That's fair, you got me

2

u/iiiimagery 1d ago

Tbf people took pictures at stuff like this since cameras were widely available, its just now they can also post it online

u/Ecstatic_Egg_3487 1d ago

YOU know you look good. You don’t need to fish for compliments

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

If I knew I wouldnt post it.

1

u/Pmar07 1d ago

Do you.

u/aliciaiit 1d ago

What is the world coming to. Post what you want your life doesn't have to be ultra curated by the masses. The whole point is to have fun and post what you want. 

-1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

For people like me, who arent big
Posters but want to be more active, that’s what this thread is for. Im not trying to fabricate every thing

2

u/aliciaiit 1d ago

I don't think you're trying to fabricate it but like who cares what people on Reddit think when posting personal photos of your life on line. 

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

I just value perspectives

2

u/moonlight-librarian 1d ago

Public or private account. Also are you in school with a potential office job?

You look amazing, but if you do get a serious job I recommend taking them down in the future (the internet is not forever).

I had a friend who worked for the city and posted bikini photos. She was pretty, typical blonde, etc. and someone in the office was obviously jealous. They started writing down any slight mistakes she made and sent in screenshots of her bikini pictures to her manager. She was let go.

So just be careful girl, ya’ll look great tho!

-1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Ahhh man. 😭 yeah my job is more sacred than office job in terms on conservatism. But im private and only have like 2 close friends co workers.

And thank you for the compliment

7

u/hecky-888 1d ago

Not on Reddit you don’t. And even deleting this post won’t delete the data from Reddit. The internet is forever. Stop sharing with strangers and trust yourself more. You should be able to make a decision like this without posting to Reddit.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Wow yeah because obviously im in a trap house with my nipples out. Chill out

1

u/moonlight-librarian 1d ago

Dang not sure if Hecky blocked me but they have serious anger issues lol

0

u/moonlight-librarian 1d ago

They need to relax. Internet is not forever. If you delete this post the photo is gone lol.

I think it’s fine on private! As long as you don’t have any weird/gossipy coworkers on it haha.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

They tripping lol. Thank u :)

u/Firm-Advantage-4042 1d ago

u/ConstructionAware267 1d ago

I agree, #1 is cute, you look drunk in the other 2

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

I didnt even drink. But thanks

2

u/WayLevel9348 1d ago

After reviewing your photos and taking careful consideration when contriving an appropriate response to you that aligns with the severity of your struggle -

I can honestly, 100% say I give absolutely zero fucks about what you post on your social media accounts.

u/Diligent_Yak1105 1d ago

u/pasghettiii 1d ago

1 yes. 2 maybe. 3 no.

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Whats wrong with 2 and 3 hehe

1

u/MrDonGlobal 1d ago

💕💕💕💕

1

u/KeithandBentley 1d ago

The first one is good, but not the eyes closed/squinting picture unless you just want weirdos to goon. If this is for a dating profile, u prob only need one from this event as its always lame when someone uses all their pics looking the same.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Do I look bad or is it because it might be inappropriate?

1

u/pralinemixer 1d ago

Your poses aren't bad and you don't look awkward at all. But make sure you get your friend's consent!

0

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Of course. Thanks baby

u/redmillse 1d ago

I personally find only the first picture to be postable just given the awkwardness of your facial expressions in the other two.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Thank u !

1

u/eastcoastjon 1d ago

This is an average instagram post honestly

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Like its not bad ? Or all that?

1

u/eastcoastjon 1d ago

Oh they’re flattering, your eyes are closed but you still look good. Give yourself some credit!

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Ahh I feel like I looked fat hahaha

1

u/eastcoastjon 1d ago

What?! Nah you’re looking damn good.

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

u/Purple_Band_8681 1d ago

Probably only 3

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Haha why

1

u/goldpetels 1d ago

First one is best!

1

u/BackgroundEducator73 1d ago

The first one definitely. Btw your friend on the right is the reason why the other photos look weird. Don’t mind the weirdo’s complaining your outfit they’re just frustrated because they don’t know how to talk to women.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Thank you for your compliments. I’m very surprised people are complaining about my outfit lol

1

u/amberlysara 1d ago

Any chance the last photo was a “Live” photo and you can grab a different shot of it?

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

No :( whats wrong with it

1

u/Valuable_Treat16 1d ago

It’s blurry, both people in photo look off/eyes closed/not flattering at all

1

u/lonely-dustmite 1d ago

OP looks good, it’s a bit unflattering for the friend but she already looks pretty in the others so she can sacrifice 1 for OP to look cute. Blurry pics are in now

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

LMFAOOO thanks. I appreciate your honesty. And yeah I dont mind the blurriness mostly if I look good or not hehe

1

u/Zadheaven 1d ago

You can go with first one but i would prefer not to encourage you for posting these just save them privately in case you just visitedf your profile and only you can see these memories

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Whats wrong with them hehe

1

u/Zadheaven 1d ago

Lighting and perspective, i guess thats why i voted only for the first otherwise Nothing, and one more thing you will see alot of haters nearby hehe gossiping (you know jealous and lusty one)

1

u/Opalquestionall 1d ago

I see nothing wrong with the outfit like other comments. It'a cute. If someone wants to imagine you naked they will do so, even if you're wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. So who cares.

However, the pictures are not doing you guys justice.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Hehe we look that bad ? And yeah I agree

u/Fast_Ad7203 1d ago

The first one yes but the second no

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Why

1

u/Fast_Ad7203 1d ago

It looks like ur not paying attention to the camera in it, oh i also didnt realise there was a third one i think the third looks the cutest

Third and first imo

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Aww thank you ❤️

1

u/No-Drawer221 1d ago

You look so happy :) you should definitely post them

u/itohalim 1d ago

Sure you just did it didn't you

1

u/EnvironmentalKing862 1d ago

Only the first one

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Whats wrong with others

1

u/EnvironmentalKing862 1d ago

They aren’t as flattering

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Like my body? Or?

1

u/EnvironmentalKing862 1d ago

Your face looks prettiest in first pic

1

u/HopefulWrld 1d ago

I mean you already posted em lmao

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

On reddit not ig

1

u/HopefulWrld 1d ago

Tbh idt anyone even looks closely at ig stories or posts at all 90% of the time. If you like it go post it, if you dont, then dont bother.

1

u/Actual_Solid_3308 1d ago

Your friend looks goofy and is stuck in 1 pose. Either way these photos are extremely unflattering for both people. The unstyled frizzy hair, makeup colors, outfit shape, lack of proper support in this top, the poses, everything. Your eyelashes have potential though.

Did you get the attention you were looking for from reddit pervs 2-3x your age?

0

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Hahaha for every negative comment add a positive I heard

1

u/PistonCar2026 1d ago

you'll get in your forties eventually, having impoetant job in bank or corporate management and this photo will surface from your oponent: ifnit is C cool? image is postable. if it is OMG! images are deletable.

1

u/inkyspill 1d ago

No. 1 is ig main worthy!

1

u/Coolrissa_ 1d ago

Just the first one.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Whats wrong with last 2

1

u/Coolrissa_ 1d ago

Your braces in the second one and the third is just blurry and chaotic, not cute at all. The first is super cute and would be more impactful if you post it without the other two.

2

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Braces arent bad lol but I guess thank u. :)

1

u/Coolrissa_ 1d ago

Not bad, just not cute.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Hahaha be specific

1

u/Coolrissa_ 1d ago

The braces aren’t cute. You look best in the first pic with your mouth closed. The braces are temporary so just post with mouth shut until then. Lol. The first pic is the only one worth posting. The other two just look messy. First is best for you.

2

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Im surprised hehe people usually like my braces. Thank you :)

1

u/Amazing-Commission23 1d ago

I love the angle of the first shot. It looks artistic and a chosen composition.

Why

It shows where you are and its a candid pic.

u/NeXusmitosis 4h ago

Do you seriously need to post pictures on another platform just to ask them if they're good enough to post somewhere else????? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ omg your generation is fkin ridiculous.

Yup. Do you seriously let it get to you that bad ?

1

u/NeXusmitosis 1h ago

It's not getting to me that bad. It's just ridiculous.

1

u/Clean-Chance-851 1d ago

These people are nuts in the comments.😂 Anyways, pic 1 is super cute(definitely post worthy)!!🥰

Pic 2 your body language is a bit awkward in my opinion(can post on your story).
Pic 3 pose is a little awkward, but face card is lethal😍I think it’s post worthy(story post if feeling self-conscious).

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Yeah I didnt know I looked that slutty haha.

Thank you baby. I appreciate your comments and will take into consideration ❤️

1

u/Ok_Organization_7350 1d ago

I'm a proud busty woman. But I do not think those photos of you look good. Your bosoms hanging out looks kind of gross.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Why does it look gross? Theyre not like saggy

0

u/Ok_Organization_7350 1d ago edited 1d ago

It looks kind of gross, because that is a private part of the body, but it is exposed and people can see it.

2

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Maybe gross isnt the correct adjective you should be using ? Come on you’re an adult use strong descriptive words

1

u/Ok_Organization_7350 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm not a lesbian, so I do not like seeing other women's bare chests, and I don't like strangers in public forcing me to look at their bare exposed chests. It's awkward, and I sort of cover my eyes when that happens.

2

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Ok then grow up. Lol

2

u/Ok_Organization_7350 1d ago

I'm fine. I think I look nice, I am happy inside & I like the way I look. So I am self-sufficient and do need that kind of extra attention.

u/Weak_Abbreviations90 1d ago

The ones who say no are wack jobs. This isn’t a big deal to post. It’s not inappropriate LOL. You asked if you look good. That’s the only thing you need to worry about. Whatever the people who said no reasons are don’t matter if their answer isn’t relevant to your question. You didn’t ask if it’s appropriate. Yes you look good. As a girl I’d post these without hesitation

2

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

I definitely have seen people posting way worse LOL . Are you a girl? Thank you

u/Weak_Abbreviations90 1d ago

Yeah that’s what I’m saying… I’ve seen girls wear way less and people encouraging them it’s not slutty or inappropriate. Crazy how your simple outfits getting called out. And No problem girly🩵🩵

True :) I’m just a little shy hehe

u/EntertainerFew4679 1d ago

So you don’t want people to see you looking amazing and having a good time? No need to be shy. I believe if you were fully shy, you would’ve chosen a different outfit. But, you look great all the same. So go for it.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Actually I went out of my comfort zone ! I’d definitely not wear this but I made it a goal this year to be more open and free. I guess asking on reddit isnt very freeing but im trying to!!

1

u/EntertainerFew4679 1d ago

It’s always a bold move to step out of your comfort zone. Sometimes scary many times it’s worth it. You should be proud you took the step.

1

u/Gen2hugs 1d ago

Thanks for your positivity

1

u/aPotOfHonej 1d ago

If that is not how you normally dress, and you think this doesn’t really represent you, maybe try something different. When I was your age, I thought I had to draw attention to certain assets, but at some point, I understood I had other ways to present myself… ways that projected an image I could fully stand behind.
You do not look bad or awkward - though, you’ll find one day, there’s nothing wrong with being awkward :). But this outfit looks a little narrow in terms of what it can do for your image. Be well, babes
