How do they do it?

10. Your Girlfriend Coaches You

It’s pretty normal for a guy to take pictures of his girlfriend, especially if she’s beautiful. In our society today, posting pictures is pretty much the thing to do. You don’t even have to live an exciting life as long as you can portray that you live one on social media. You may not even be aware that you are a “Boyfriend of Instagram” because taking pictures of your girl seems totally normal. But if you are in the middle of taking a posed shot and she asks, “do my boobs look okay,” then you are a “Boyfriend of Instagram.” We often wonder why guys would want to take these types of photos of their girl when they darn well know that 2,303 guys are going to be liking the picture by lunchtime. You’re in denial if you don’t think that’s true.

Just as you start to feel a cramp starting in your neck, it clicks to you that this may not be normal behavior. If at that moment you start questioning what on Earth you are doing with your life, then you might be a”Boyfriend of Instagram.” At least you can start accepting what has become of your life and try to move on.
