Social media has been the cause of many breakups in Kenya today.
Communicating with your lover has been made easier and efficient especially with its friendly tools that indicate when someone is online, typing, recording a voice note, offline and even online.
The Whatsapp platform, in particular, has been number one in causing painful endings in most relationships.
Some people argue that women are their own worst enemies when they decide to invite men into their lives by dishing out their numbers and social media handles.
So why do women end up hiding their ‘last seen’ especially on Whatsapp?
Here are some reasons.
1. Seeking attention.
Some ladies will hide their last seen to compare the rate of messages that will chip in when nobody knows she is online, this will help her determine the real friends who will always want to connect with her despite an indication that she is not online.
2. Not interested with your chats.
When you have bored your girlfriend, she will block her last seen so that you lose interest in texting her. Contrary to what many people believe, ladies also get tired of constantly nibbling on their phones chatting with a guy after guy. This is probably why they ‘switch off’ at times so they can take a break from all the drama.
3. Cheating made easier.
When your girlfriend has hidden her last seen, you will probably not configure when she was last on the app.
Even when you text her and she ignores your message, you will not mind thinking she was not online. This provides a good avenue for cheating.
4. To Spare Some Men
Some ladies are funny. They will hide their social media statuses so that the men they are disinterested in do not feel ignored.
5. To Avoid Stalkers
Some men don’t know when to quit, so when they see a lady is pretty active on whatsapp, they will make a point of pulling moves to bag her at the end of the day. Strangely, you can’t hide your ‘online’ status.
6. It’s Easier To Cheat That Way
In the game of love, there is usually no clear winner. Men use hotel rooms and numerous resources to run their affairs. For women, it’s as easy as hiding the last time you talked to any man. That is likely to buy some time as she regroups her strategies.
