Contact photo? Why would you need a photo, it's the name enough?
That said, a girlfriend was mad at me once, when she noticed she was listed in my phone by her first and last name, same as everybody else.

i like seeing ppls faces when I call/message them
Your comment is basically my BF! I was telling him, so I just look like any rando in your phone? And the default contact icon is yellow? Gross I don’t even like yellow! Like how hard is it to add a contact photo for me??🤣 I couldn’t understand what the big trouble was back then and thought it meant he didn’t care. But now I see that some people really just don’t do contact photos lol😆
He didn't care about the contact photo/name, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about you. We all show it in a different way.
Love
Yeah... how can someone not realize this is literally the highest form of connection?
"I'm so comfortable with you that you at your most real moments is so endearing to me that it is the way I choose to capture you because it gives me the nicest feelings."
As a dude who uses a photo of my wife about to bite into a big turkey leg as my phone background, they're the best photos to use. Nothing's more fake than a photo of someone posing and putting on a fake smile, and we're one of the few who get to see some of the real ones, like this one. We cherish that.
This but unironically. My wife's profile picture is from around when we met, didn't have kids yet, and she's doing a silly face.
Pretty sure vice versa my Pic is the donkey from Shrek...
I explicitly try to have silly photos of all my friends as their contact photos
I know this is a stereotype, and doesn't apply to all men or women, but I think it's important. I think the woman thinks "if I'm important to you, you should represent me at my best", which I could maybe see as a form of respect or something.
But the dude is like "I don't love you for your best, I love you at your silliest. This is a photo of you no one else has, and gives me the feeling of when we're together. Anyone can use your LinkedIn headshot or some photo from Instagram of you posing over some drinks."
I'm not sure stereotypical women have noticed their guys while setting up an Instagram photo, but they're not cherishing those moments 😛
My wife is hot as fuck, I have a hard time not attacking her every time I see her. Getting a hard-on every time I see her pic is already a problem, hence the silly pic of her as her contact.
Funny you mentioned 6 years, that's how long I was with a guy who never even added me as a contact into his phone. We lived together, slept together, were monogamous with each other, I helped him raise his daughter every other weekend during his custody time with her while he was at work. He still never added me as a contact into his phone.
Did he still call you?
If so, I guess that just means you were important enough that he had your number memorized.
On modern phones once a call or text conversion begins, it remains. No need to memorize or anything, it's just there and context of past conversations will suffice as the way to know who it is.
(Edit: "Modern phones" good lord I'm a dinosaur. Sorry for the patronizing start.)
What about other people he knew? Was it just you or was it pure laziness. I did not do this, but it's an absolute struggle for me to add anyone new these days to the point that ill normally send that first text with the persons name in it so if they call i ignore it then cross reference the number after with my txt to see if its someone i know. You will never know the lengths some people will go to just because of laziness lol. If anything he probably knew your number by heart.
Don’t tell my wife her contact photo is Sabrina Carpenter
Who did you steal this from and didn't give attribution for the sake of accessibility?
Call the meme police
The guy who posts at least one image of Sabrina Carpenter on reddit a day is who its stolen from I think
Do they take the picture, or do they credit the person who did?
They usually just make a meme, so no credit is given (its quite common a snapshot from something, or from her instagram)
My gfs contact photo is a cartoon bc she cute
Yall use real photos? I use picture of cat.
I use a pic of your wife's pussy too
Contact photo? Pffft
her best pictures are the ones i take when shes not ready and looking silly. so cute!
My S.O.'s contact picture is from when she wore a bedpan as a hat for a joke.
My phone background is a photo of my wife hiding behind the bed while scarfing down cookies so the kids don’t see her. Her contact photo is nearly as silly. She’s hot enough that I don’t need to get all turned on every time I see her text.
