So,
For the most part of my life my social networking sites and my life barely interacted(used it to keep in touch with friends that were too far/ interact with online friends...) so I had some real life friends but barely any pictures of myself/pictures with them.


This past year however Ive been involved in several activities where its normal to have my picture taken.
Group of people that love taking pictures, foreigners want something to remember the people they meet and Ive been meeting plenty of them...


Got some people commenting about my family/whatever whenever there was a picture with them uploaded, which is expected I guess.



Every now and then however I have an awkward conversation about some girl on one of my pictures.
Male friends/acquaintances will approach me to ask about x/y/z girl and ask if she is still around the city et all.
I have a way of making them lose all interest but I keep wondering if this is normal conversation topic or not.


Nothing to bothered about it, I just wonder.

It's normal convo for eager single guys I guess if they find a girl in the photo attractive.
Be weary of people using you just to get to those girls.

If you won't see them again for a while just say you know the girls but really don't have any contact with them.

Is this happening a lot, spongy? Like, are these guys mostly talking about the girls in your photos rather than anything else?

Not really happening a lot. Its just weird so it s been around my mind for a while

Last guy it happened with had helped me out on a big project and we were very friendly so it wasnt out of nowhere.

Dont worry about it, the minute I bring up that they are heavily involved in the biggest protestant church in the city and I drop by from time to time to practise English with whoever is around(most protestants in Spain are foreigners) they lose their interest.

Not really into religion but they claim they are cool with that and we have been talking/hanging out around the city for over a year with little issues regarding the no religious thing

Guys talk about girls in pictures in a hot or not kind of way ALL the time.

Girls do the same thing too.

Very normal.
Guys are more comfortable asking another guy about stuff like that - but they will also ask girls too, the same thing.
I can't count the number of times I have seen my guy friends see photos of parties, spot a girl they like, and then "Oh, can you invite her to the next party? I want to meet her". It's a very normal thing here. Some of them even ask straight up for their number or to set them up. It is partially a kind of bonding thing too - to hunt girls together for most guys, so they expect another guy to be understanding when they do this sort of thing (and most of them expect women to be understanding, or at least tolerant of it).

Sometimes it gets to the point if they see a girl they like that they get me and make me translate for them. :lol:
