    This but unironically. My wife’s profile picture is from around when we met, didn’t have kids yet, and she’s doing a silly face.

    Pretty sure vice versa my Pic is the donkey from Shrek…

      Yeah, I also started dating my wife before cellphone cameras were good. So my profile picture of her is like a 50x50 pixel blurry-ass photo.

      In hindsight, a blurry ass-photo would’ve been nice too.

    I know this is a stereotype, and doesn’t apply to all men or women, but I think it’s important. I think the woman thinks “if I’m important to you, you should represent me at my best”, which I could maybe see as a form of respect or something.

    But the dude is like “I don’t love you for your best, I love you at your silliest. This is a photo of you no one else has, and gives me the feeling of when we’re together. Anyone can use your LinkedIn headshot or some photo from Instagram of you posing over some drinks.”

    I’m not sure stereotypical women have noticed their guys while setting up an Instagram photo, but they’re not cherishing those moments 😛

      If I don’t like someone’s silly pictures and find them attractive in those, then I wouldn’t be dating them in the first place.

      I stopped trusting those “good angles” when someone only had them on their tinder profile. If they didn’t include at least one pic showing a less than ideal angle, I assumed they were one of those skilled enough with makeup and photography that they could use their own pictures to catfish. Filters, too. Though these days, AI would also be in the mix.

      My wife is hot as fuck, I have a hard time not attacking her every time I see her. Getting a hard-on every time I see her pic is already a problem, hence the silly pic of her as her contact.

    lol my partner has a photo of me wearing her bra as a hat as her contact photo for me. I believe this was fairly early in our relationship and she was out of town or something. It really amused her.

    As a dude who uses a photo of my wife about to bite into a big turkey leg as my phone background, they’re the best photos to use. Nothing’s more fake than a photo of someone posing and putting on a fake smile, and we’re one of the few who get to see some of the real ones, like this one. We cherish that.

    when you love someone you want to remember the random nothing moments the most. they’re the ones that belong to no one else but you and your partner. at least that’s my outlook

    Contact photo? Why would you need a photo, it’s the name enough?

    That said, a girlfriend was mad at me once, when she noticed she was listed in my phone by her first and last name, same as everybody else.

      Had a few years where I took a photo of or with a friend or partner while they’re as wasted as possible (obviously with their consent) and used those, it always made me laugh whenever I got a call from the ones I had done it with as I didn’t see that photo otherwise and had often forgotten about it.

      My wife was mad when she realized she was “[FirstName] Tinder”, still.

      Now she’s “Wife #1”. Technically I think she likes that more?

      Some time ago it was common advice (at least over here) to never save contacts as “Mom”, “Dad” or “GF” lest your phone gets stolen and the robbers instantly know who to try scamming first.
      This particular advice kinda died with everybody moving to smartphones and passcodes yet I never moved on. Everybody on my phone is just First Name. Last Name together if I need to disambiguate.
      Meanwhile there’s my friends where my contact is a random string of emojis and a 8 year old inside joke neither of us remember the meaning of, making it almost impossible to send myself something from their device lol. And they say I’m cold because their contacts are just “First Name” on my device lol.

      Your comment is basically my BF! I was telling him, so I just look like any rando in your phone? And the default contact icon is yellow? Gross I don’t even like yellow! Like how hard is it to add a contact photo for me??🤣 I couldn’t understand what the big trouble was back then and thought it meant he didn’t care. But now I see that some people really just don’t do contact photos lol😆

        He didn’t care about the contact photo/name, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about you. We all show it in a different way.

      That is partly why I don’t date, and why I don’t like dealing with people much in general.

      Everyone has so many of these stupid, made-up rules that they kinda just assume are universal because their social media algorithms make it seem that way.

    My phone background is a photo of my wife hiding behind the bed while scarfing down cookies so the kids don’t see her. Her contact photo is nearly as silly. She’s hot enough that I don’t need to get all turned on every time I see her text.

      Yeah… how can someone not realize this is literally the highest form of connection?

      “I’m so comfortable with you that you at your most real moments is so endearing to me that it is the way I choose to capture you because it gives me the nicest feelings.”
