His Girlfriend Posted A Photo Of His Bad Haircut On Social Media, Then Said He Was Overreacting When He Demanded That She Delete It
This guy has been dating his girlfriend for about two years, and over the weekend, they decided to go out for a date consisting of dinner, bowling, and cocktails.
But, before they went out, he made an appointment to get his hair cut. And unfortunately, the barber really messed up by cutting his hair way too short.
“I’m already pretty self-conscious about my hairline anyway, and this made it look worse as my hairline was very obvious,” he recalled.
“Normally, I have my hair longer and style it in a way I like.”
Regardless of the bad haircut, though, he and his girlfriend didn’t cancel their date. Plus, his girlfriend wanted to take photos as a couple throughout the evening.
Now, he was actually fine with being photographed. The only thing he clearly asked his girlfriend not to do was post them on social media.
Well, the very next morning, his girlfriend still proceeded to post a few photos from their date night on Instagram. A few of them were fine, too, and just included shots of their food, cocktails, and bowling balls.
One of the photos, however, was a shot of him and his girlfriend together before they even left the house, and his bad haircut was on full display. So, he confronted his girlfriend and asked her to take the picture off her account.
Rather than understanding how he felt, his girlfriend just reassured him that the photo was “nice.” Then, she refused to delete it.

“I pointed out how she knew I didn’t want them online and chose to completely disregard how I felt anyway,” he explained.
He also asked his girlfriend to take the photo down again. Yet, she refused to budge, claiming that it was “her photo” and that it was still “nice.”
This pushed him to tell his girlfriend flat-out that he wanted the post deleted rather than asking. But his girlfriend just got upset, accused him of overreacting, and tried to say that it was “only a photo.”
So now, he’s not sure if getting upset and demanding that his girlfriend delete the picture of his bad haircut was justified or really an overreaction.
Would you want an unflattering photo of yourself on Instagram? Was it rude of his girlfriend to post his bad haircut after he clearly asked her not to? How would you have reacted?
