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 ๐Ÿ˜›

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.
