Living in the Midwest, this is also super common on women's dating profiles. I'd estimate probably more than 1 out of every 10 has a fish
Yeah I've seen that on Facebook. I don't get it.
When do you have pics taken of you? Especially as a man it can be that you have a very limited selection of pics. Selfies are another matter.
With friends and stuff.
Look at this guy, with his friends!
I'm joking, but of my friends I'm the only one who brings a camera to stuff and takes pictures, and everybody groans when I do it. If I weren't there there'd be no pictures, and there are no pictures of me because I'm behind the camera!
Most guys just don't take pictures of each other.
And a lot of guys don't honestly have that many friends. Compoud those two and you won't have much pics of you taken.
My wife’s circle of friends is much larger than my own, so this wouldn’t surprise me.
I saw a study from Finland that said that most men only have a few friends, a lot don't have any. I guess I'm typical in the sense that I have a few friends and we don't see that often. So not many photos of me taken by friends.
Of course there's cultural aspect here, we Finns are what we are and also maybe other languages or cultures use the word more casually etc. But from what I've seen and read online, I don't think having zero to only few friends is a Finnish peculiarity but rather pretty common at least in the West or maybe just Northern Europe and similar-ish cultures.
