Is Your Instagram Wife Hotter Than Your Wife?
A few days ago I watched a short YouTube comedy clip called “I want to be married to my Instagram wife.” No link because it wasn’t very funny — just a lackluster and predictable comedian/performance — but that title! It makes me laugh every time I think about it.
Probably our — everybody’s — social media presentation is more attractive than we ourselves are in real life, because we work hard to present the best of our best selves on social media. That somebody might genuinely yearn to be married to their social media wife instead of their actual life-wife is a reminder and a warning. Presenting our best selves to our IRL loved ones might be an unexpectedly good idea! Perhaps even more rewarding than whatever we get from social media?

We invented sexy photo-shoots for our partners, soft focus, lingerie and soft lighting for a reason. Most people don’t look sexy in the harsh light of day. Plus, most ceiling lights are just too bright for post-coital relaxation.
Hell, even learning a few poses or two can really change what our bodies look like! Strut around the room a bit, remind them of how awesome you really are. Give them a glimpse into your soul, it’ll do wonders for your connection!
I can think of very few people whose self on social media with a secret algorithm was not *much* less likeable than their face-to-face self or Internet self.
