Without moving your body, here are 26 Instagram Tips to Catch a Guy's Eye

Unanimously, yeah. We are well aware of how annoying Instagram "likes" can be, and we also know how exhausting it can be to figure out how to attract a guy's attention on the platform.

There are just so many men and women attempting to do the same thing here! Everybody wants to DM each other, meet up with each other, or find someone to love.

Additionally, Instagram is incredibly popular, and some users even research ways to increase their likes, followers, engagement, etc. For an ordinary user, getting attention on it is really taxing.

You filter your photo to match your Instagram theme, post it at the exact time that your followers are online based on your analytics, tag accounts in the photo, geotag the photo, use relevant hashtags, etc., etc., etc. Do you know how many you might get? Oh, about 50 likes? It can be frustrating.

Imagine this scenario right now. Some girls decide to feel liberated while at the beach and take photos of themselves without tops on (slow your roll, and assume the photos were taken attractively from the side or the back).

Do you realize how many likes a picture like that may receive, though? 200? 5000? 100K? HELLO. Greetings from the internet. We hope you have a pleasant stay. Darn, you might need to practice yoga to relax after that!

How to get a guy’s attention on Instagram without relying on your body as a thirst trap

Anyways, we’re on a mission to help you get the attention of our fellow Instagrammers, specifically the guys. So, let’s get to it, shall we?

1. Take photos of your face

Studies show that photos with faces in them do exponentially better than photos that don’t have faces in them.

It makes sense if you think about it. Our generation relates to other people, so seeing a face WORKS. And guys? They definitely want to see your face, because, girl, you’re cute!

2. Add a vulgar caption.

Don't just open Pinterest and look for a meaningful remark to caption your Instagram picture with.

Being flirtatious and sassy on Instagram will help you attract a guy's attention. Get his attention—perhaps with a provocative song or something? Be imaginative.

3. Add a humorous caption.

This is the alternative choice for an Instagram caption that will unquestionably catch a guy's eye. Just have fun! On the other hand, a guy will appreciate a gal who has humor, so BE FUNNY. Guys enjoy to make girls giggle.

4. Follow him

Unless hundreds of new girls follow a guy every day on Instagram, almost every guy will visit your profile and go, “Oh, who’s this girl! I don’t know her. She just followed me.” It doesn’t matter if the guy knows the girl or not, he’ll still appreciate you following him.

And of course, he is going to notice you and spend at least a minute or more on your profile if you follow him! Chances are, he doesn’t get a ton of cute girls following him on Instagram, so you’re going to stand out.

5. Enjoy a number of his photographs

It's a risky move, but if you have the courage, go for it! When his notifications are flooded with likes from you, there is absolutely no way that he IS NOT going to notice you.

This demonstrates to him your self-assurance and audacity, two traits that many men like in a woman. Be brave, women.

6. a vintage photograph

More audacious than the previous attempt to get a guy's eye on Instagram. Go to the bottom of his feed and like a few pictures. This will make it appear in his stream and demonstrates how carefully you navigated to find this picture.

He might find it humorous, so proceed with caution with this one. He might simply think you are insane, too. Be cautious with this one, but if you manage to pull it off, CONGRATS, GIRL!

7. From time to time, comment on his pictures

Comment on a few of his recent posts without going bonkers. We promise that it is much less typical for random cute girls to remark on his images on Instagram than it is for cute girls to follow him there.

Don't just leave a meaningless comment; instead, leave something to which he will have to reply, even if that reply is only "thanks!"

Make sure your comment is eye-grabbing and demands a response if you want to know how to capture a guy's attention on Instagram.

8. Slide into his DM’s

Ha, classic. For real, ladies, it couldn’t hurt! We’re decades into the 2020s, you no longer have to wait for the guy to come to you! Be bold, and message him first.

Message him about a recent post, or just say hey. If you’re feeling really bold tell him that you think he’s cute, or cool, or whatever, man! This is a surefire way to get noticed because unless he is a celebrity, his DM’s probably aren’t full of messages from girls!

9. Don’t post too often

If you post four selfies a day, he’s not going to be interested. We’ll just be honest. Guys like a girl who isn’t living on and for social media. And if you are posting that many selfies, he is going to get tired of seeing them. If you don’t post as often, he will be excited when you DO post.

Additionally, posting less frequently gives the impression that you lead a busy life and simply couldn't be bothered to update Instagram. Post less frequently to get his attention. Always effective!

10. Include adorable Instagram stories

Instagram reels and stories have taken over the platform because they are more overtly promotional than the platform's earlier posts. Therefore, if he follows you back and you publish a reel or a story, there is a good possibility that he WILL see it.

Keep in mind that you must be on a guy's thoughts in order to catch his attention on Instagram. Stories can let you to casually stay on his mind, however too many posts can come out as a bit self-obsessed.

11. Take pictures of your pet

13. Change your profile pic/update your profile

Whenever you make changes to your profile or change your photo, it gives him something new to look at. If you don’t do much of this, then he might think your profile is stagnant or may not even notice it much.

14. Post uplifting material to your profile

You should avoid acting in such a way, even if you've had a rough day and feel like screaming on Instagram.

In fact, a lot of them could believe you're uninteresting and insecure. It almost seems like a girl is trying too hard or is desperate when she shares selfies with a lot of filters and is half-naked in several of them. That is absolutely not the impression you want to convey.

24. Don’t keep your page private

There is a lot to be said for privacy settings on social media. They keep out a lot of creepy people.

But, they might also keep out the people whose attention you want to get – like this guy on Instagram. So, if you want him to notice you, then you have to make sure he can actually see your profile.

25. Give him a shout out once in a while

This might feel awkward to some girls, but depending on the situation, it might help if you have the confidence to give this guy a shout-out.
