Your comment is basically my BF! I was telling him, so I just look like any rando in your phone? And the default contact icon is yellow? Gross I don’t even like yellow! Like how hard is it to add a contact photo for me??🤣 I couldn’t understand what the big trouble was back then and thought it meant he didn’t care. But now I see that some people really just don’t do contact photos lol😆
Some time ago it was common advice (at least over here) to never save contacts as “Mom”, “Dad” or “GF” lest your phone gets stolen and the robbers instantly know who to try scamming first.
This particular advice kinda died with everybody moving to smartphones and passcodes yet I never moved on. Everybody on my phone is just First Name. Last Name together if I need to disambiguate.
Meanwhile there’s my friends where my contact is a random string of emojis and a 8 year old inside joke neither of us remember the meaning of, making it almost impossible to send myself something from their device lol. And they say I’m cold because their contacts are just “First Name” on my device lol.
Had a few years where I took a photo of or with a friend or partner while they’re as wasted as possible (obviously with their consent) and used those, it always made me laugh whenever I got a call from the ones I had done it with as I didn’t see that photo otherwise and had often forgotten about it.
That is partly why I don’t date, and why I don’t like dealing with people much in general.
Everyone has so many of these stupid, made-up rules that they kinda just assume are universal because their social media algorithms make it seem that way.
Everyone does, its called unwritten social rules. Terrible for people of different cultural background or that are on “the spectrum” since many treat the rules as obvious, and only reason anyone would break them is to be rude
Contact photo? Why would you need a photo, it’s the name enough?
That said, a girlfriend was mad at me once, when she noticed she was listed in my phone by her first and last name, same as everybody else.
My wife was mad when she realized she was “[FirstName] Tinder”, still.
Now she’s “Wife #1”. Technically I think she likes that more?

He didn’t care about the contact photo/name, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care about you. We all show it in a different way.

Everyone does do they? You’ve got to get out more / at all.
