Males In A Relationship: Why Do You Guys Follow/Like Instagram Models When You’re In A Relationship?
Reddit user u/chanelesposito asks: "Males in a relationship: why do you guys follow/ like Instagram models when you’re in a relationship?" Replies included: "If I'm only following online, and not in real life, what's the problem?" I am happily married but I still follow celebrities and models (female and male) on IG and my partner does the same. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look at beautiful people and you can think someone is beautiful, but not in a sexual way. Folks don’t understand that there’s about 100 steps in between thinking someone is beautiful and wanting to sleep or have a relationship with him or her. If I’m so insecure that I get upset when my partner follows pretty models, then there is something wrong with the relationship." .."Absolutely spot on. Like I don’t care who she follows. as long as we are loyal to each other." "I stopped it as soon as I got into my relationship coz I felt like looking at other women and getting off to that whilst being in a relationship felt like cheating and my girlfriend thinks like that too. So it depends on each person" "Most decent guys wouldn't do this." "Hi - new perspective. I'm not an "Instagram model" but I am a minor fitness influencer. So I've got a larger than most following. "The number of messages I get from men in relationships is astounding. For me personally, it's good to have followers and people that engage/follow my content or buy my work out plans. However, if you've got a man for instance, and he doesn't work out, and I'm not his PT - why is he liking/following/messaging? "I think it's reasonable if your man is into fitness as he might be looking for tips, workout routines etc. But if he's not going to the gym - he's obviously following fitness models/influencer's for other reasons. "My DM requests could quite literally ruin relationships. So watch your men, you've a right to be wary of it."

Lyndsey Gough shared video on her Twitter account where she repeatedly asks apparently drunk fans not to touch her or her equipment. Then, in a post featuring video of the incident, she said, “After the first guy touched me I started rolling... this isn't even all of it. So uncomfortable. Can we please respect people's space.” Social media was split over the topic with some agreeing with Gough, saying that the fans needed to respect others. Others said that she needed to pursue a new career. One commenter wrote, 'Touching is out of the question. Period. However, setting up in the middle of "Their Space" & demanding everyone obey your arbitrary rules is ridiculous." 'You cannot just camp in the middle of people & say "follow my rules" even if your media. No one agreed to this.'

(SAD STORY)... 9/11 Ticket Agent Struggles With Guilt, Trauma Over Two Decades
A ticket agent in Portland, Maine still struggles with guilt after he handed two of the 9/11 terrorists their tickets. Michael Tuohey was the ticket agent at the Portland International Jetport who handed two of the terrorists their boarding passes for an early morning flight to Boston. From there, the pair boarded and hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 and flew the plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. He says he can’t watch the 9/11 coverage because it brings back feelings of guilt even though it’s well behind him and he know it’s not his fault. He said, “They were terrorists. Everything just drained out of me. I started shaking. It was awful. It was such an awful, awful feeling to come over you.” He was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress and dissociative orders. It took him about five years and four psychologists before he felt like himself again.
