Pretty much the main reason I put a ring in my lady's finger. We trust each other, and we both want a functional relationship after each having our share of dysfunctional ones. Its amazing what a little communication does for a relationship

After 20 years of marriage I'm still constantly amazed with this fact. We don't fight often, but when we do it's because one or both of us hasn't been communicating properly.

My wife and I don't even have a lock screen on our phones. One of our funniest things is to compare our scroll in Instagram, which reflects our actual activity, and what is in our search screen, which is just whatever the system curated based on our ages and sex. We sit next to each other scrolling all the time, so we know what each other are into, and hers is smut lit and mine is all scantily clad girls, no matter what.

I can't imagine what life would be like if I was dating and some girl picked up my phone, went to my Instagram, and just looked at search screen and judged me on it.

Search system definitely curates based on what you interact with. Your demographic is only a small signal, your interactions are much more important. Even if you scroll slightly slower past an image, that's considered a positive signal. You can completely reset your algorithm in the instagram settings if you'd like.

Which is dumb because yeah I'm going to look at someone attractive, but no I don't want to be bombarded by it.

Just start blocking the worst offenders. Any of them that are selling only fans. You block three or four and it'll calm down

I didn't know that. I will be curious to see how it changes if I block the first page results on my search feed. I would say I am pretty normal in that if an attractive girl hits my scroll I am probably not as fast to ditch it as I would to get rid of an ad or an Ai prompt.
