The ‘FYIAH’ mentality
How to handle Instagram when you just became single
Nowadays we obviously have the middle finger emoji that you can always use when you're fed up with someone. Super handy of course, especially for people like me who prefer to text in emoji language. But let's say, you just broke up with your boyfriend/fling/love interest or you were rejected by a guy and you want to make it very clear to him what he's missing, then you use your Instagram (possibly with that middle finger emoji in your caption).
May I introduce you to the ‘F*ck You I Am Hot’ (FYIAH) photos? What that means is that when someone has really stepped on your heart, you don't sit at home feeling sorry for yourself with John Mayer albums on repeat, an overdose of chocolate, and ‘I don’t need a man’ scenes. Nope, you make sure to find an Insta-wifey (your bestie or something) who can take some nice photos of you, and then you post them on your Instagram account.
However, there are different visual scenarios for those photos. You have the classic beach/pool snapshot where you obviously look your best. I mean dressed scantily because hey, you’re not wearing long pants and a sweater when you’re there. And if you want to get a lot of likes on your photos, make sure there’s a flamingo in the background. Turns out it works like a charm.
Then you also have the group photo with your girlfriends during a night out. Here you obviously wear your hottest outfit and the guy sees that you’re still having a great time and not sitting at home feeling sad.
Instead of selfies, you arrange for casual photos of you to be taken while you’re doing something active. And then of course looking your absolute best. Running, walking, shopping, #iwokeuplikethis, and then all flawless. He gets confronted right away with what he let slip.
And just a little bit about the captions of everything you post. Keep it mysterious but not too much. In any case enough so that he will regret not having any idea what you’re talking about. Like using a #excitingthingsinthemaking hashtag that is work-related and then he thinks: what the hell is she working on? Don’t post those sentimental quotes about ‘heartbreak’ because believe me, there is no one who thinks that’s cool.
And finally: you know better than anyone (if all goes well) when the guy preferred to do his round of Insta, so you also know the best times to post something.
Bet you’ll have a nice guy hooked in no time? Instagram is the new Tinder #winning.
