Stop deflecting, sis, I mean bro. Just because you are a guy, doesn't mean you can't be pretty or handsome. Now stop masquerading as your alter ego Reena, and instead go out there and show them who's boss, Bucky!

I'm a girl. And I don't need to show my vagina to the world to prove it. And who cares whatever you think. This is online, here any assumptions can be made. And yes my real name is reena, you don't like it, I don't care.

I can tell you’re a follower of Jesus Christ because you preach his message. That was a good comment, and you’re right. But do you agree that it’s strange for women and men to act this way when they’re in a healthy relationship?

It's not strange, they are a product of their environment. There can be many reasons for why people feel the need to do certain things.

Don't focus too much on the behavior, but on the possible lack individuals experience for them to engage in certain unhealthy behaviors. Then you can focus on providing them the tools they need to amend that lack.

This is about a couple, and I truly believe that anyone would find it a bit odd if someone in a relationship seeks attention from others, even after their partner has given them love. This is not a minor issue, as you seem to portray it.

Even if a woman is seeking attention, what's wrong with it really? 

The problem is limited thinking. If no one addressed this post, and I mean absolutely no one, how do you think OP would feel. Not sure exactly, but not the same as if it's flooded with comments. Point is, it's still attention-based. Not saying he's SEEKING attention as in the sense of feeling lack, but it's still for some form of attention. A teacher teaches her students and expects their attention. So ilm speaking of attention in the broader sense.

We don't see things in the not-so-obvious and like to only look at other's behaviors and tend to think we know why they do what they do. The only difference with that pic on Instagram and this post is the content; BOTH ARE SEEKING ATTENTION. I'm seeking your attention when I used the quote button in hopes that you attend to and read this comment. The difference is in the mind of OP and how he sees a scantily dressed woman VS a quote from someone on a forum. Now he projects that unto the world and make posts like these not realizing how he created the distinctions. If he realized it, this thread wouldn't exist because he would realize that he is seeking attention just like she is seeking attention; but to him there's a morality difference because one is in a bikini and one is behind a forum intellectually speaking.

You're right. I thought the same.

I think the most interesting question is in the effectiveness of the strategy. Women have an easy time to "brand build" by posting hot pics on IG while a men have to put a bit more effort into the content we put out there. I think ideally a woman's brand should be put to use in building your collective mission and not solely to post bikini pics on IG. If my girls help me do that but wanna feel hot posting stuff I don't really mind.
