Post away at your own risk

-

THE feedback I got about last week’s article was interestin­g to say the least. Some were in agreement, some took the opposite direction. One lady, who raised my eyebrows, shared that

she will go ahead and post her man and that people should not look at things from a point of jealousy.

She went on to say, “I don’t post to show off to my enemies, in fact I don’t even think of them when I post, I’m just collecting memories.” Her argument was that she always seeks permission before posting him anyway, and bae so people can go fly a kite but she’s definitely going to post him.

Another lady said she lives on social media and Sipho If anything he scouted and courted her on Facebook.

She boldly told me that the reason he got lucky with her in the first place, was because he liked all her posts and commented every time she posted. In fact he was always the first person to comment on all her posts, and wasn’t shy to add emojies.

As expected, she eventually noticed this sweet guy. It wasn’t long after that, the consistenc­y of likes and comment that he tried his luck with her. he had done a bit of ground work inbox from time to time, according to her. Soon after they exchanged numbers and the rest is history.

This is why she will not suddenly stop, because people will ask about him once she posts him,

she asked. After narrating how they met

this was one of those romances from social media so there’s no amount of convincing that would have worked, so I told her to post away sweetie I get it.

Then there were those who agreed with me, and actually thanked me for opening their eyes to the dangers of prematurel­y posting him.

The other reason for me is when you start explaining to every Tom, Dick and Harry after you move the pictures what happened.

Yes, it’s none of their business but essentiall­y you ‘invited’ them to your private life when you posted him indirectly.
