Why bikinis? Instagram metrics

They aren’t the brightest.

Hmm.. I'm not saying whether other people should post their bikini photos or not but I can access my freshman year "new students" book from the 90's by googling it.
I'll be advising my DD to avoid that sort of thing unless she wants her future interviewers and co-workers to see the pic. Of course this may vary by industry.

They are not the pretty ones. They feel insecure about their attractiveness and sex it up as distraction. There are exceptions to every rule, but as a rule, you don’t need to advertise if you aren’t selling it hard.

Women are not commodities.

Agree. Ones who are posting bikini shots think they are though. It’s sad and pathetic. They are advertising hard. That’s what that is. They are marketing themselves as commodities.

Honestly, would you make the same comment about guys who would post shirtless beach pics in their introductions on college freshman FB/insta groups? Or waterpolo players and swimmer guys, who would likely include their speedo pics?

Drop this insane double standard and stop policing female bodies. Or move to Saudi Arabia or Utah

A lot of the posts in those "X university Class of 2026" Instagrams are fake.

I was looking at the one for my rising freshman's college (yes, I'm a helicopter parent, and no my kid didn't post his info on the page.)

I noticed a post that was particularly "thirsty" with several photos showing off the student's physique. Out of curiosity I checked out the page for a few other universities---and same exact photos/description!

Yes. They also look thirsty and like they are trying to sell themselves as commodities as well. Or want a lot of action.

And they drank the kool aid pushed by the media, entertainment industry, etc that women’s primary value is their looks/sexuality.

Parents have to work to counteract this pervasive message.

Agreed.

Yea of course. Guys submitting shirtless or Speedo pics for the college "look book" would be just as thirsty and pathetic.

Depending on school many girls are going to get their Mrs degree...obviously this isn't something people talk about on this board, but it's a real thing especially in the south. And, aren't we past shaming women for what they want to wear and what makes them confident?
