Might not be the best place to ask this, but I'd like to get the opinions of the board because I think the posters here might be in more traditional relationships like myself.

So, yeah. Why so many pictures? You just lived it! You walked through the reality! You experienced it!

*"Wait, wait, wait. Lets stage a photo around something we're about to do or have already done!"*

Me? I just did that! I don't want to go backwards and fake out a rehash of what just transpired.

I get memorabilia and nostalging out. But with phone cameras, EVERYTHING gets a picture. It's not just a few of your wife, you and friends kayaking. There's 10 shots of a single squirrel, 20 of them doing dumb shit and acting goofy and 30 of them pointing at objects and signs with their mouths agape.

What is the fascination with women and taking pictures? I genuinely want to know.

I've often wondered this myself but it dawned on me relatively recently. When people or pets die, it's nice to have those memories documented. same for when people move to live somewhere else, or when a building is demolished, etc... it's my understanding, at least from the women in my life, that they kind of intuitively know that the day will eventually come that they'd really appreciate looking back on those moments. memories are kept much more alive and relevant if they are accompanied by a photo.

ofc, there's a lot of filler and unnecessary photos, won't argue there, but that's at least the reasoning behind it, and it doesn't bother me any more after realizing this.

That's it. One day Grandpa won't be there anymore and your mother's beautiful 100 year old home childhood home will be a brutalist block of flats. It's to revisit but more importantly to share, with friends and family but most of all with future generations. Seeing what life looked like long before you were born can teach a lot but also connect you to that time and your ancestors in a way that words alone cannot.

Alright. The genesis stems from wanting to preserve memories and moments in time. I understand that.

When and why does that inclination get exacerbated when woman are out doing activities? It's almost like a memory addiction.

*"Oh! I have to remember this. Oh! I have to remember that! Oh, now this!? This I definitely need to remember!"*

I don't understand. I guess being the creative type, my head is already filled with a lot of my own shit lol

I think that sort of behavior isn't a 'woman thing', it's a 'modern western narcissist' thing. I see it among too many males.

My understanding of the purpose is that they need the photos as props. To present to others as proof that they did something (because they and their friends all lie about everything), and to observe themselves as proof that they are whatever it is they claim to be (popular? prosperous? rebellious?).

Mostly it's just people trying to show off pics later in insta etc.

I think especially while out doing activities and stuff there is a bit of needing proof that we're doing a good job, especially as mothers taking our kids to the zoo or whatever but also being good at being a woman "look i can socialise! I am fashionable! I have friends! I appreciate art and give to charity!". It's probably way less then 40% remembering for most women a mostly for showing other people for a variety of reasons (good and bad).

Male and female minds are two parts of the divine mind.

Men tend to look forward. They tend to think of the future and make plans and contingency plans and such. Men want to think about what's coming, and don't worry so much about the past, unless of course the past has something to say about what is coming.

Women look and live in the past. That's just who they are and how they think. That's why men are so easy to forgive someone and forget but women simply can't do that.

It's important to be aware of this fact in your relationship with your wife. You are not trying to mold her into a "mini-man" but to allow her to express her feminine aspects safely and intelligently.

You might say something like, "I like taking photos but I think it's a bit much to stage them and I think the kids are losing the excitement of the moment." Women like it when you show that you understand them and have empathy for other people's feelings.

My wife is about into photos as I am. It's one of the best parts about her. We take photos for special occasions but rarely sit there snapping pics of bullshit.

my Mrs doesn't

I take more tbh but I fancy myself as a skilled snapper

most are of our dogs and I wish I had taken more of my eldest dog when he was a puppy

they grow so fast and before you know it, they are adults

we have them on the TV when it goes into screensaver mode

same with kids, happy photos of happy times make you happy

Its part of socialization

its a normie thing, normies (women esp) like to recapture experiences so they can do two things, remember, and socialize with other NPC's about said experience

it doesn't matter if its a luxury cruise a delicious cake they had in a cafe, its an experience, **an experience they wanna share**

It’s not just a women thing, but a societal poison, one of many, where attention and external materials are the currency. Although some aren’t spiritually inclined to trust their memory and experiences who don’t conform to the subhuman jew materialist brainwashing.

I'm a married woman and only take pictures with my husband and our 5 kids. Social media sucks.
