Women who have platonic male friends, how do you take pictures together without looking like a couple?

I wear a giant label around my neck saying ‘LESBIAN’ in big neon comic sans

As someone who values physical and emotional boundaries with friends of the opposite sex, I…

• Don’t lean in
• Leave space. If I can smell their breath, we’re too close😬
• Do goofy poses—I typically do 😁👍🏽 or 🤪 hahahaha

you just stand or sit beside them and smile? I never really thought about that because I take pics with them the same way I take with my girlfriends.

After growing up with him, I understood that absolutely no pictures don’t looks like a couple one from the eyes of those who don’t know us because no matter what pictures that we take, regardless of gender, it is the same type of pictures we can take with a partner so unless you know the person it’s pretty hard to differentiate (unless it is a kissing/personal/specific event that is indicator of a relationship etc picture ofc).

I really don’t care to be honest. If someone wants to think we are a couple they’ll do so anyway.

In pictures with my husband, my hand is usually on his chest, or stomach. In pictures with my friends, we might put our arms around each other. I guess that’s the difference, but I’ve never worried about anyone thinking we are a couple anyway.

Throw up gang signs

As a straight woman who has been bff with a straight man for 20+ years I had never in my life thought about this. I have pictures hugging him, being silly together, doing the peace sign, silly face, smile, no smile. No one has ever thought we are a couple

People need to stop thinking touching another human even slightly is proof of sexual intimacy or romantic interest.

Now, if you are worried about that, you can simply stand there about 2 feet apart.

We don’t really think about that when we take photos. My best friend is like a brother to me.

We just take the picture! I’m affectionate with my friends if all genders, if other people want to mistake us for a couple that’s their problem.
