[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 29 points 5 hours ago

her best pictures are the ones i take when shes not ready and looking silly. so cute!

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, it's called LOVE! I got my wife chewing on a hoodie string for her contact photo.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 34 points 6 hours ago

Don’t tell my wife her contact photo is Sabrina Carpenter

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 42 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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...

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 28 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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 πŸ˜›

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 26 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 101 points 11 hours ago (6 children)

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.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

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

Now she's "Wife #1". Technically I think she likes that more?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 37 minutes ago)

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 lolπŸ˜†

[–] four@lemmy.zip 28 points 9 hours ago

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.

[–] Nikki@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 10 hours ago

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."

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

My S.O.'s contact picture is from when she wore a bedpan as a hat for a joke.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 5 hours ago

My partners photo is just the one that came up with when I originally added her into my phone. I don't know where it got the photo from, I definitely didn't take it.

[–] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 17 points 10 hours ago

I explicitly try to have silly photos of all my friends as their contact photos

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (5 children)

Funny you mentioned 6 years, that's how long I was with a guy who never even added me as a contact into his phone. We lived together, slept together, were monogamous with each other, I helped him raise his daughter every other weekend during his custody time with her while he was at work. He still never added me as a contact into his phone.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I had a roommate who never made a single contact in her phone for anyone, she would just answer any call and figured out who was texting from past bits of the conversation and what they sent. And it wasn't a principled thing, she just didn't see the convenience in saving contact info. Blew my fucking mind

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

This comment made me feel old.

That is how everyone used to do it.

It's way more convenient now, I agree.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Did he still call you?

If so, I guess that just means you were important enough that he had your number memorized.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

On modern phones once a call or text conversion begins, it remains. No need to memorize or anything, it's just there and context of past conversations will suffice as the way to know who it is.

(Edit: "Modern phones" good lord I'm a dinosaur. Sorry for the patronizing start.)

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Y'all use photos? People are lucky if I actually remember to save them as a contact.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Mine are frequently quickly saved from a meetup or acquaintance and so I save them how I can remember them...

Contact name : "John from work lunch likes fishing"

Contact name : "Rosa (married to Shawn from the garden)"

Contact name : "Bar: Has a roofing company don't remember name - does free estimate. roof roofing roofs shingles"

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago
