Is it considered cheating for your girlfriend to give men her IG?

[Nobu]

If someone is using it "appropriately" then the inappropriateness started well before the follow. The follow isn't the issue.

I can't speak on people who do things inappropriately. I would assume that if you are in a relationship then you would be with someone who wasn't being "inappropriate." So I don't understand why ya'll would be applying that mentality to your girl unless you are dating someone you can't trust.

That's like me applying man whore behavior to my boyfriend. That shouldn't be the case.

I don't disagree. The reality is a lot of men are dating attention whores. You are right the follow is not the singular issue, and not the root cause of issues. You are also right that in an ideal world men would not commit to such attention whores and all relationships would be between stable, trustworthy people.The follow is still an issue though.

Put it this way, youre dating a woman who wears short shorts with her booty cheeks hanging out cuz she likes how it makes guys holla at her (even tho she tells her bf "its just my style" lol).

If she goes on to have sex with one of those men, that's still cheating, despite the fact that yes the inappropriateness started well before she had sex with someone else and even before she invited men to holla by wearing booty shorts (it started with her attention seeking mindset). And despite the fact that no man should have gotten in an LTR with an attention ho in the first place.

It's simple. The first two words in the definition of cheating are "Act dishonestly". If everything is in the open then one can't cheat.

So if she openly flirts and talks to other men she's not a cheater? Lol

Exactly! Cheating = Deception, purposeful concealment.

Scenario...a guy or group of men approach your girl and tries to ask her out..she tells them that she has a boyfriend. They then say that's cool, but can I get your IG so I can follow you?

Your girlfriend says yes and tells them her IG name and walks away.

Is this cheating?
Does giving away your IG name = giving out your number?

I mean you know what they are about so why share the I.g.?

DM's or a phone call it's all the same.

Adults playing silly games.

It's cheating just for the fact that you (general) agreed to a monogamous relationship and they are going against that agreement. You also spoke of loyalty. Idk how you could consider that loyal but okay.

I think at this point you are just trying to play semantic to justify you doing the same or similar behaviors have you would not appreciate in your partner.

We can just agree to disagree.

One of the hardest realizations a man will encounter is finding out a woman he fell for belongs to the streets.

Nah...I'll checkmate this debate by asking you if you consider a couple having a threesome together cheating? Any way you answer that question will prove my point

IG is strange. You can contact the person as you would with a number (without calling obviously), but you have increased access to what that person displays, who she's following, and who's following her. So in a way it's strange that people give it out easier than their phone number. Soon enough breh will know where she goes on holidays, what she eats, where she shops, etc.

It's not cheating if that couple decides that is what they are going to do together. That's a far cry from agreeing to a monogamous relationship and then someone deciding they are going to do the opposite in front of the others face.
The difference is pretty obvious.

And I stick my last post. I really don't see the conversation going anywhere. We can agree to disagree.

Right, you're allowing that person to see a glimpse of your world.

No it's not, people need to understand that a lot of women treat certain men like fans especially in the age of social media. Certain men are just used to boost their ego and to make them feel desirable.

It's only cause for concern if things get taken to the next level. I understand setting boundaries and expecting a chick to stay in check but this sounds paranoid.

A lot of people period do things for the sole purpose of getting an ego boost. Faithful men in relationships get an ego boost all the time when a chick shows interest in them. Look at how often dudes brag about being married or having a gf and still getting hit on by women. That doesn't mean they're automatically planning to step out on their spouse.

You think an attractive chic would give her IG to an ugly midget if he approached her on the street?

I think yes, more often than not. It really depends on the woman. Some are really wrapped up in their IG follower numbers. Others take comfort in the "nice" curve and will give the social media with zero intention of actually speaking with dude. And of course you have those who will flat out say no.

I realize people do dirt on social media every day. I just don't feel giving out the IG should result in an instant bushing, especially if you have no trust issues to begin with.
