i recently asked you guys what your biggest insta turnoffs are, & then thought, does it really matter? i mean, we’re all turned off by different things. if your account makes you happy, isn’t that enough?
then…i wondered, wouldn’t i want to know if i had (or didn’t have) something on my feed that was possibly keeping me from getting that job, girl, guy or free stuff. so, i decided to pass along the most commonly identified turnoffs, and let you decide what to do with them. (btw i am guilty of some of these ‘mistakes.’ sorry!)
here they are, your biggest insta turnoffs:
1.advertising a post on your story/asking followers to “go like my recent.” i think its a bit redundant as the story reaches the same people as those who’ll see your post on their feed.
2.having too many pics with snapchat filters. we all love how the dog filter makes our skin look, but we want to see the real you!
3.not having a current picture. it’s difficult to show a friend what you look like, when your most recent is before you hit puberty.
4.not posting ANY pictures of yourself. if you aren’t getting responses to your dms, it may be because they have nothing to go on. try posting a selfie! see what happens.
5.trying too hard. we like you better au naturel.
6.posting shirtless pics! this is a turn off for almost every girl. if you’re at the beach, no need to put one on. but gym etiquette suggests wearing a shirt, & we do too!
6.posting poor quality photos. a clear photo with a slightly crooked smile is far better than a blurry one where your perfect pearly whites are hardly visible.
7.adding unnecessary info in your bio. i’m glad you’ve been happily dating so and so since 12/18, but let your pics reveal your honey, not your bio.
8.swearing, drugs, juuling, etc. this was identified as a turnoff, but, more importantly, it can keep you from getting that dope position. employers are looking!
the beautiful thing about social media is that it’s our chance to reveal who we really are. if, after reading this, you still choose to post that bunny-eared, kush-smoking, ab pic, with the caption f, sh*, b’ (mo bamba – sheck wes), you do you, boo!
