Women on Facebook, and no pics of hubby.

neverstray

I've noticed this trend. There are some female friends I have on facebook that are married. I have looked through their profiles and thorugh their pics, yes I am a picture lurking hound (LOL), and with many of them that are married, they do not have a single pic of their husband. I find that weird.

What do you think? Does it mean anything?

I know there could be several reasons for it. Husband doesnt want to be part of it, their page is their page, or they aren't into hubby. I don't know. Just seems odd. I mean, it's an overwhelmingly large amount of them.

Any perspective on it? I'm not going to run out a hit on them, or send pics of my junk or anything weird like that, I'm just curious if any of the women here do that too and what the reason is?

Thanks.

Their dh does not like his picture taken?

Reeny1_8

Depends on the person I guess. My hubby is in several of my pics on Facebook.

I understand if it was just a girl thing, but I'm on their friends list. What does that say about me? :noway: :huh:

I didn't have many pics of my Hubs on FB...only a couple of him and our DD together, none with us together. We are divorced now. Probably not the best argument....

Maybe they just have pics of themselves for progress purposes? II have a couple pics of my bf and a pic of my son in my photos, but I have seen some profiles where the only pics are of that person, mostly just pics to show how far they've come or whatever. If there are pics of a person and their friends or whatever and zero of their hubs/bf I would think it's a bit odd, but whatever, doesn't bother me!

Some people just

A. Don't like having pictures taken.
B. Don't want their pictures on FB/online.

I wouldn't read into anything.

I was just noticing that :laugh: :laugh: Also noticed quite a few married men without pictures of their wives and nearly all-female friends.

I'm not sure if I have any of my husband or not. Maybe a couple. We tend to do a lot of things alone (just the two of us, not alone separately) so a lot of our pics only have one of us in them because the other is taking the picture. But, I don't post a lot of pics.

OK, so it might mean something or it might not. Got it. LOL.

I was just gonna respond similar...
I didn't have very many pictures of us together. But we weren't really spending time together. I had like 3 different couples photos and thats it. But we are divorced now. I would just ask one of them. One you know well enough that won't be offended... Like "hey why know pics of the hubby?"

This is actually an issue that I have with my DH. He has never put that he is married (been married almost 21 years) and there have never been any pictures of me in the pictures that he posts, even when I thought things were happier between us. He'll put pictures from events that we were both at and with our kids, but never one with me even in the background. Although he claims to not have done it, but I truly believe that I was blocked from viewing his info even though he was on my friend's list at one time.

When we separated a year ago, this was one of my biggest arguments, so I went through deleted my own "relationship" status and removed ALL pictures that might even hint at him being around. Immature? Yes, but it made me feel better. Now that we are working on a reconciliation, I have said that there are two things that would make me believe that he was back, putting me on his FB & our wedding rings.

Oh, yes, there are much deeper issues in our relationship that FB, but it is a biggy to me for some reason, no matter how hard I try not to let it get to me!

I have tons of pics of myself and my guy together on FB. Also have one on here.
I'm proud of my relationship. So maybe those particular women you speak of are not?
Or maybe they are the type of couples that don't spend a ton of time together, so they don't have many pics of the two of them?

Maybe, if its a natural conversation. But, I'm pretty good at steering, so maybe I'll get there one day. But, I'd never just call up and ask. LOL.

My thought was that it's probably a sign of problems of some kind. Not always, but in general. Unless he's a police officer, judge, detective, in the military, or FBI, CIA or something like that. Those guys really don't like to have any online prescence. I knew one that did, but he used a fake name, and only people that knew his fake name on facebook would know he was there, so it was cool. But, no pics or anything of him or his family.

I don't have many photo's of my husband not sure if I have any on facebook but my husband doesn't like photo's taken and he don't like facebook lol. It's my facebook, so I mainly have photo's of me, a few of my kids, and a lot of my weight loss.

Roadie2000

Does hubby have a FB page of his own? If not, I would just assume he doesn't want pics of himself online. Also depends on how long they've been married for and how many pics they have total.

If she has 100s of pics posted and they've been married since before facebook, than that would be weird. But maybe she just only post pics of other people that are on facebook, or she posted a lot of pictures before she got married. I wouldn't read into it too much.

tabbiekaye23

I have plenty of pics of my hubby on my fb. I dont have any of him on mfp because this journey is all about me and my weight loss.

I'm not married, but I find it odd. I have several friends who don't even have Facebook but their wives do... they're still in a few pics. I mean, if you spend a lot of time with someone you're going to have a few photos, right? I might find it less weird if the person just had very few (like ...under 10) pics in general, and none of them happened to include their spouse. But most people have pages and pages of photos on FB....

Of course, the one relationship from which I have no photo evidence was.. uh, illicit. I'm also a skeptic by nature. These things likely colour my opinion. I suppose for a few of your friends it may be completely innocent... but probably not a large number. :yawn:

It could also be that he is private person. My DH is that way and noone can see pix with him if they are not his friend. You can't even find him on FB as he is totally private!

My husband doesn't like to have his picture taken, and doesn't like FaceBook, so why would I post pictures of him on my FB? I do have two photos of us together up, but these are up because I like them as photos of me (vain maybe, but who posts pictures they hate). As to women who don't post pictures of their husbands not being "that into" their husbands, it's not like I look at my FB pictures all the time. I pretty much post them and leave them, if I wanted to look at a picture of my husband all the time, I'd put it on my desktop at work. I do post a lot of pictures of our cats on FB, but I have a lot of friends who love cats, and well, my husband isn't as cute as the cats are.

This is why pics of my Mrs. are few and far between. Unless you know the right url and then, boy howdy!

Faye_Anderson

It's my Facebook page, there are pics of me! There might be a couple of my hubby from holiday or something, never really thought about it, and it's not done on purpose, we are listed as married so does it matter? :drinker:

Some people don't put pics of their significant other because they don't want people in their business. I rarely put photos up, and its on purpose most of the time because of the sexual comments I will get from men on my friends list. IMO its not a big deal.

neverstray

Funny, I'm pretty public about my life, so I guess I don't get it. I respect it though. I post pics while on vacation, and tell everyone where I am all the time. I mean, they're my friends, so it's cool. My page is pretty locked down, so if you're not my friend, you can't see anything.

adrian_indy

I don't put pictures of my wife on the web because she disgusts me.

cinasana

Are you trying to find out if she is semi-available? lol

Meaganandcheese

Some women want to be defined as more than a wife or girlfriend. Some couples are not into getting tons of photos together. Some people *gasp* don't want their pictures all over facebook.

KANGOOJUMPS

FUNNY!, i am a pic hound too,, and i have noticed this too, i find it bizarre!

Interesting... I think I might have a picture of my husband on my page, and I will post a picture if there is a topic like "show me your family"... because lets be honest the fitness talk can start to take over your life (at least mine!!!). But honestly, for me this site is primary about fitness and my personal fitness goals. While my husband and kids are a part of my fitness journey... I am doing this for me. So I guess the answer is, for me this is not facebook. I am here to learn about food/exercise/nutrition.... I am hear to support others that have similar goals as me... unless I decide to participate in some "chit-chat" when I am board at work... I really don't want to talk about my family, where I live, my job, my kids. That's just me I guess!
