8 Times Girlfriends And Boyfriends Shared The Same Images On Instagram, But Created Absolutely Different Captions
Coming up with cool Instagram captions is probably the hardest part of an upload. If you’re also having trouble with it, here’s an idea (sorry forever-alone people, it only works if you’re in a relationship). Lately, Instagrammers have been using captions to hilariously highlight gender differences within a couple, and everything started because of a single football game.
Isabella Koval has posted a photo to Instagram, captioning it “Always a blast [with] my bff.” Her boyfriend Justin uploaded the same photo to his account, but wrote something different: “sitting here trying to explain football to this uncultured swine.” Isabella then posted a side-by-side comparison of their posts to her Twitter and all hell broke loose.
“My boyfriend rarely posts on any social media and I’m always telling him he should post more,” Isabella told BuzzFeed. “So Saturday we went to the game, and I know nothing about football, and he was trying to explain the game to me, but I was too into my food.” Some people thought Justin’s caption was insulting. The lady, however, assured it was a joke. “People are telling me to dump him, [but] everyone that knows us thinks those comments are hilarious.”
Koval’s tweet went viral, reaching nearly 200K likes and over 42K retweets. Soon, other couples started doing the same and a unique “My post vs my boyfriend’s post” meme was born. Scroll down for the funny images and let us know if you think the whole thing is innocent or hurtful.

Meet Isabella Koval and her boyfriend Justin, the couple responsible for the fresh “My post vs my boyfriend’s post” internet trend
Everything took off after this tweet
Where Isabella highlighted the difference between her and her bf’s captions for the same photo
Relating to the whole situation, other couples quickly followed
Some people thought this is only another example of men being jerks
But others viewed it as an innocent joke
Which side do you support?
Studies show, the couples who flex the hardest on social media, and who make the most declarative statements of love and affection are actually the weakest couples, lacking trust and security in their relationships. the couples with a very small social media presence tend to be the most happy. I would say there's a little bit of truth behind both captions. But if as a couple you need social media to validate your relationship.... odds are, it ain't gonna last.
Knew a girl like this and frankly, I don't care for the must post all on social media, unless I want to share my art and silly dogs. Interactions are more intimate than social media validations.
For some reason they have to show how "perfect" their life and relationship is, even when it isn't. I know couples where the girl usually posts all the "omg I love him so much", yet if you see them in real life, they're rarely that sweet&sappy to each other, usually they're fighting etc.
oh for sure! I know plenty of couples that ring true for the findings of the study. I know one couple where both of them have cheated, and the girl was actually talking to someone else, when their anniversary came up, and she still wrote "I love you more than anything, you make me happy" some people will fake their entire lives and relationships.
I was the worst with social media when younger, I posted how shitty my relationship was. >.> But It was also honest and I've learned to appreciate honesty than fake reality.
Agree 100%. Furthermore, this article "my post vs his/her post" would be funny if it were discovered by accident, or genuine. Now that it's a "thing" it just becomes forced, predictable, and unfunny.
Sounds right. Me and high school sweetheart have been together 12 years and we quit social media
I agree. I so so many couples happy on social media, and so miserable in real life. I tend to keep my relationship stuck in reality, not virtual one, and seems it's working.
I feel you are correct. My hubby and I have been together 20+ years, are qui happy and barely do the social media thing.
I totally agree. If you love someone show it and it is real then. Pretending is a joke.

Please reference this For me to read because I find this quite inaccurate with my family and friends
Maybe I'm old, but I honestly don't understand a lot of this lingo.
Don’t worry, I’m young and I don’t either,
Same :(
my head hurts too reading the caption.
“My boyfriend rarely posts on any social media and I’m always telling him he should post more,”....wait, what? Why?
"post about me or are you ashamed of being seen w/me?" it happens
Sadly, it does.
