Ladies love attention even more than they love Cool J. For some attention-starved women the seemingly innocent Instagram selfie doesn’t just scream, “Hey, look what I’m doing!” or “Hey look what I’m wearing!” it also whispers “Please tell me I’m pretty. I could use the validation.” Note that we’re not saying that ALL women are guilty of this — just some of y’all. You know, the ones with the salacious boob-and-booty shots and hordes of thirsty followers. There’s nothing wrong with being attractive and on Instagram — in fact we’re very appreciative of your beauty — but some of y’all are going a little too hard for those “Like” hearts. Be a lady on Instagram and not a tramp. We’ll show you how.

Do smile

We love your smile. It makes you look friendly and inviting which is enticing. If you have a snaggle tooth or braces, a toothless Mona Lisa style grin will suffice.

Don’t do a “duck face”

You think it’s how you look when you kiss so it’s cute. Guys think you look like a waterfowl with a mouth full of Sour Patch Kids. Also LOLz at Relly’s comment.

Do post fitness pics

It’s hard work being hot. You’re in the gym getting it right and tight for a reason, so why not post tasteful pics of of your hot bod on your Instagram? Guys appreciate a woman who is invested in her health.

Don’t post skanky fitness pics

No disrespect, ma’am, but that photo of you in the gym doing a split on the treadmill like that’s what treadmills are for? Uh, yeah. No. You’re just asking for dudes to go into detail about how they’d put that flexibility to good use.

Do yoga poses

The tasteful alternative to the #gymflow pic that packs a even more powerful thirst-activating punch. It shows guys that you’re not only fit, but that you’re disciplined and flexible. Searching the #yoga is probably how Russell Simmons finds new young women to date on IG.

Don’t pretend the pic isn’t about your butt/boobs when we all know it is.

The “call attention to something in the photo other than my prominently featured butt and/or boobs” trick is the oldest one in the book. Rihanna can get away this (nice boots!), Kim Kardashian cannot.

Do leave something to the imagination

It’s true, guys are visual animals and they like flesh, but even more than that they like a little mystery. It gives them something to aspire to and fantasize about. That’s why giving us a peek at your goodies is often more effective than completely having your ass out on public display. A classy form-fitting dress? Yes. Some cleavage? Yes. Pasties on your nipples and nothing else?. Nah. Wanna model your new thong? Save it for a special someone on Snapchat.

Don’t repeat selfie poses

Everybody has a “good side,” we get that but please, ladies, switch it up sometimes.

With all that said and done, we hope you feel better armed for bringing the thirst on Instagram. If we missed any essential wisdom, let us know in the comments or on Facebook.
