What has your experience been after a break up with pictures on FB? If you were dumped or if you dumped them did either of you delete all of the pictures? If not why?
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
Delete pictures after a breakup?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

If you delete the pics then it will help get her off your mind and forward with your life. Otherwise, it will look like you are pining over her and secretly hoping she'll come back into your life as you have all of these wasted memories lying around. Especially if she's hot and she's gone for life.

What if she does not delete the pictures of me she has?
Do most girls delete them after breakups?

I'm nearly a month past breakup and the Facebook photos remain, still tagged. I think it really depends on the type of person and breakup as to whether or not you'd want to even be remotely associated with them.
If it was clean (as far as breakup goes) and you don't mind people knowing of your past then I don't see the problem in leaving them, provided you have more to your Facebook profile than pictures of your ex.
If you're going NC and insist on keeping her as a Facebook friend then I'd advise turning off your chat to her (so that you do not appear online and her name doesn't appear online to you either) and unticking the "show on newsfeed" option on her profile. Seeing her name will not help you.

Delete everything that reminds you of her. Out of sight, out of mind. Time to move on. Fück what everybody else thinks.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
