Pimp Yourself Out: Instagram Edition
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
I’ve talked about not being on social media before (or anymore) but I do have an Instagram account to follow my personal interests (I follow none of my friends, relatives, and have never posted a photo AND there’s nothing on the account that identifies me).
After being on there a few years like most PLs my account follows mostly insanely hot women and my interests have taken a back seat. It’s interesting to see what Instagram/Facebook algorithms have pop up in my news feed. Women located in the area of one of my interests - Kentucky (bourbon) to college girls going to my alma mater.
My Instagram has been smashed with incredibly hot women ranging from college age to MILFs and one thing they all have in common: They all dress half naked, they are all hot and they all seem like they are pimping themselves out. We’re not talking big “instacelebrities” we’re talking women with 2,000 followers. I realize Instagram photos make everyone look better but if I was a single guy and someone showed me 20 random accounts from my feed, I’d probably be willing to marry 17 of them based on their looks alone. I also realize several of the more “national brand accounts” (think 50,000+ followers) have photos of them looking “normal” if you Google search the and they aren’t nearly as attractive as their Instagram photos. A few are downright scary looking, the marvels of makeup and photo editing.
My question is “why do so many women do this?” It’s ranging all ages, do they do it because they’re insecure and want validation? Do they think they’re going to become famous? Let’s face it no matter how hot you think your wife or girlfriend is, most of us probably don’t want her posting in a thong hanging over the side of your bed for the world to see.
For example there’s a girl who went to the same university as me. That’s how she showed up on my feed one day. She is a school teacher in Vegas. To me, she damn near a 10 in looks, just simply stunning. There’s photos of her in her classroom so I’d assume she’s really a teacher, then photos of her half naked clubbing in Vegas and at pool parties in extremely small bikinis with all her stuff hanging out. I’m grateful for the photos but wouldn’t that be detrimental to her career? She has like 1,500 followers so she’s not some big insta-celeb. There are photos of her on private jets and all over the country (Miami, LA) and you can tell she has an inflated ego from her video comments, so I’m guessing she’s escorting or sugaring on the side. Maybe her Instagram is like an advertisement for potential sugar daddy’s?

But I get similar feeds of semi naked young women. Not that I’m complaining but not sure why so many woman post pictures of themselves in thongs and revealing bikinis
I think instagram is one of the easiest places to get laid.
Depending on the girl/woman/account I would certainly agree with you. A perfect example is the near flawless (in my eyes) alleged "school teacher" I mentioned. To me she's near flawless but she's in photos with other insanely hot women who are taller, more fit, bigger boobs, more botox, fancier clothes. I'd say this young woman probably has self confidence issues and if pimping herself on Instagram opens the door to partying with rich guys now, and marrying one later, then mission accomplished. I don't know how you live in Vegas for any extended part of time and not wind up damaged goods. Trust me I know from experience and witnessing it happen to people several times.
For the most part her Instagram is innocent compared to others. Several of these other women have links to their Amazon wish list, some have Onlyfans, some of Onlyfans knock offs where they may pose in lingerie but no nudity, but you still have to subscribe. I'm not shocked at all that women are doing it, it's just kind of surprising to me that THAT many seemingly normal women ARE doing it.
This is interesting. I agree that many do, though I think a lot of the content the OP is referring to is shared on the basis of women enjoying validation wrt their looks. For me however, being anonymous has a stong appeal. There is something comforting about being unknown, untracked, slipping in and out of whatever situation unnoticed.
@drew, I agree 100%, though I think a part of being seen as someone important in the case of women does include being seen as someone attractive measured in how many likes, followers, and "thirsty" comments and messages you get. It's like a showcase of "look how many guys want me. It's annoying being so hot".
I'm an introvert by nature myself, so posting pictures of everything and creating an online persona that only highlights the good parts of my life is definitely not my first instinct but being that I am likely a good 20+ years younger than most of you here, I think doing just that has become important in today's society. I'd argue it *shouldn't* be because it's stupid, but as someone else put it for me, it's essentially brand management.
