A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

A guy I just met keeps sending me screenshots of conversations with other women. I don’t understand why. We would be having a normal conversation and then a random screenshot. Is he trying to make me jealous or boost his ego? He also has over 600 unread messages whenever he sends me a screenshot. Does he seem like the player type?

aunt honesty agony auntIt sounds quite random in fairness, honestly I have no clue why he would do that, probably to see how you will react and maybe also to show you he is in demand. Either way it is really not a good sign. 600 unread messages? He must be addicted to social media and trying to be popular online. I think the safest advice to give you is to stop talking to him. He sounds like not only a player but someone who is addicted to talking to people online. If you are looking for a relationship then this is not your guy.

What an attention seeking and insecure little loser this guy is!!

Wanna be another sucker in his meaningless fan club?

Keep on talking to him.

He's relying on your adoration, you know.

He needs it - along with the adoration of other stupid women - to feed his pathetic ego. To make him feel good about himself. Why would you want a guy who is insecure and has no confidence in himself?

Drop him like a hot potatoe.

You are better than the rest. And you are better than him!!

Trust me, he is having similar conversations with other females and showing them every one of your messages too.

What a dick!!

The only way to stop his game is to cut him loose. The others are too stupid to do that.

People use social media as an ego-booster. They entertain themselves and grow self-esteem "by the numbers." He's not in it for romantic reasons, he's playing the numbers-game to grow a following and fan-club.

If he's sharing their messages, he's sharing yours.

You pegged him right for a player; but it's more than that. He's a social media numbers-hog. Nowadays people are addicted to "likes" and have to have a populous of followers to make them feel like a social media star.

What you say, others are scrutinizing and probably taking jabs and making wise-cracks. Like the song goes "I'm not here for your entertainment!"

Get outta there! Block, delete, and move on!

Honeypie agony auntWho knows...

But don't you consider the possibility that he is using YOUR conversation to send to other women too? Because why not?

Honestly? I cut him loose and block his number before you become fodder to other people's entertainment.

Who does that?
