I've been seeing this more often. Girls who are in relationships don't put it in their insta/Twitter bio or Facebook relationship status. They are definitely using their account frequently and the make an occasional post with their BF. What's up with this? I thought girls in relationships loved to "brag" about their relationship in their bio. If your in a relationship would you be ok with your SO other not stating their status in their bio?
What's up with girls who don't put "in relationship" on social media?

I deleted my facebook right around the time mark zuckerberg was being scrutinized.. It wasn't for that reason I couldn't care less what zuckerberg did with people's info I thought it was already known companies like facebook and google were doing that. The truth is my ex-gf was so butt ugly I didn't want people to know.. she would always pester me about it, then when zuckerberg had the lights shined on him I thought it was my perfect opportunity.

Probably because they are the more secure one in the relationship and /or they are looking to upgrade

I think it takes a lot of guts to put your relationship status on facebook, because the humiliation/shame of having to change your status that you are "single" again creates the stigma that you're on and off relationships and can't find anyone steady.
However in one case, I know this chick who was in a relationship in college up until senior year, and never indicated that she was in a relationship. Now we both graduated, and she works in an industry that requires one to be very social. She removed that hidden status (I was never friends with her on FB) but now it shows that she's "In a Relationship" with someone.
I believe this is to prevent coworkers and other acquaintances from hitting on her and making advances. Anyone with a facebook account can stalk her public profile and it'll show that she's in a relationship.
This prevents further creeping/stalking and I agree with that.
It doesn't matter if a guy is Single/In a Relationship. It's only for chicks. That's what I believe. I'm tipsy and sleepy, and I won't elaborate more on that. -

you are a dumbazz.. if they need to pretend they aren't in a relationship so they can look for someone else while leading someone else on because they are afraid of being alone then they aren't very secure, they are probably as insecure as they come, and probably a borderline personality psycho too.. -

You actually believe the things people post about themselves on social media? I've heard about people like you before, but I've never come so close to meeting one. Cool, in a kinda of "strolling through the exotic animals" exhibition kind of way. -
They are always open for offers and looking to upgrade (even if they are married).

So true. In the earlier days of Facebook I remember a girl changing her relationship status 6 times in 48 hours! Now that high schoolers don't use facebook, I wonder if that even happens anymore. -
Everytime I've added a girl on facebooks they have that there in a relationship.
-
It doubles as keeping their options open and a sh** test for the current boyfriend/ husband (Yes I have seen these cases for married men, including my cousin). If the man insists she changes it he will be called "insecure." Unironically you are not truly in a monogamous "relationship" if a girl won't admit this piece of information on a social media account she actively uses, lest what can such a relationship like this even mean, other than a short-term agreement that will end the moment a better man comes along.
-
I feel bad for your cousin man.

They crave the attention that comes with being perceived as available.

The social media relationship status thing is awkward in the early part of a relationship. Odds are one party will think that you are "in a relationship" before the other, and just deciding whether/when you are committed/exclusive is enough to worry about just between the two of you without bringing the general public into the mix.
Why even open the door for arguments like: "We've been on X dates together and your FB still says that you are single! You really don't consider me to be your GF/BF?", or "Whoa, we've only been on X dates together and you already think that we're 'in a relationship'? You might be a little too clingy for me."? Really better to just leave FB out of it and not force yourself to publicly make a binary statement about your relationship. Have the discussion WITH YOUR ACTUAL PARTNER when the time is right. -
They’re not obligated to announce their relationship status to the world. Expecting them to do so shows you have an unhealthy focus on a woman’s sexual currency. Women should be viewed as individuals- they are not merely targets for your sexual fantasies
-
This is not something that anyone should care about. Most people I know don't have any relationship info displayed.
-
I guess they are just keeping their options open.

I thought only old ladies used Facebook.
