A netizen, who wrote that she did not think she was good-looking, shared that her boyfriend of a few years had never posted a photo of them together.
Seemingly rather troubled by this, the netizen shared in an anonymous post: “I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a few years now, and he has never posted a photo of us. I know I’m not good looking, and many people have told me that”.
In her post on Friday (Jul 1) on popular confessions page SGWhispers, the woman wrote that she considered her boyfriend’s looks to be slightly above average, and she added that she knew he never posted any photos of them together “because I’m not pretty enough for him to show me off”. She noted that her boyfriend also followed many other influencers on Instagram who she considered to be “way better” looking than herself.
She added that as a result, “This has caused me to become even more insecure and I’m thinking of breaking off this relationship because I know he is ashamed of me”. She wrote that while she had never mentioned any of it to him. She said that she did not feel secure.
“Yes he loves me and never said that I am ugly but I just don’t feel secure when I’m with him. Any advice?” the netizen wrote.
“Would plastic surgery be stupid?” she asked.
Netizens who commented on her post were divided. Some agreed that looks were important, while others felt that she was selling herself short and that her insecurities were due to her own perception of herself. Others even suggested asking her boyfriend why he did not post any photos of them together despite them dating for a few years now.
Here’s what they said:
Earlier this year, a man who met a girl on a dating website realised that she was not like her profile when he took her out for coffee.
The man, who griped about his uneventful date in an anonymous post on popular confessions page NUSWhispers said that he and the girl had similar interests, which was why he decided to meet her.
“Turns out she’s such a liar”, he wrote. He shared that online, she told him she was a fan of sports but when she met him, he quickly realised that she did not understand any of the terms commonly used when talking about sports.
