He went to Iraq and put pinup posters on his wall, but I sent him some pretty hot pictures of myself and he didnt put any of them up...kinda hurt my feelings. When I asked him if he would be mad if i put pictures up of other hot guys he said yes because Im not at war and he is...is this just an excuse? Should my feelings be hurt at all or am I just over analyzing?

Well, you don't need permission to have hurt feelings. But I think you're right. That excuse he gave you about being at war won't hold if you just tell him that it's just as hard for you to be away from him as it is for him to be away from you. He was wrong for putting up the posters in the first place, but he's just plain stupid for telling you that. He should have known that it would hurt your feelings. In his defense, maybe he didn't put up pictures of you because he doesn't want his comrades gawking at his woman. I think you should tell him that it bothers you and leave it at that. Don't push it though . . . it really isn't that major an issue. Good night!

You should be glad that he does not want to post sexy pictures of you on his wall in Iraq. He does not feel comfortable sharing those private photos with his "buddies" in his platoon.
A pinup poster of a woman nobody knows is far less personal, and they are posters because they are inteneded to be viewed and shared by all.
The two of you should be concentrating on the fact that we are at war with Iraq, he's in Iraq, and most likely scared out of his mind if he's even going to make it home to see you. Give the guy some slack. He's fighting a war. He doesn't need to battle another war with you.

Guys at war have very strange psychologies. War messes up people's brains for a while. Try to not blame him too much. He and you both know that those pinups are not real, but YOU are. Maybe he doesnt want other guys to see how hot you are. Just love him the best you can. He needs your support.

do you really want him to put the hot pics of you on the wall for everyone to see? I'm with you though, I get mad at pinups too. I guess that's a silly thing to let bother me but it does.

He's your boyfriend, not your husband. Give him some room. And about the pics of you... he probably didn't put them up bc he wants to you to himself. I assume you would rather have his buddies check out and play with the pictures on his walls than the pictures of you, so don't try to overanalyze him having pictures of women he will never score with. You two are just dating, so as long as both of you stay to looking at pics, and not touching real people, I think your relationship is okay.

Maybe those pinups are just for show to the other soldiers to prove his heterosexuality ;)
Innuendo aside, I think it's really sweet that he didn't put your picture up. You wouldn't want other guys gawking at your hotness right? Maybe he just wants to keep you to himself. (Aww moment here)
I don't know why he doesn't want you hanging up other hot guys though. Maybe it's the same reason why you don't want him hanging up pin-ups?
Just relax.
Just tell him it hurts your feelings and talk it out.

Maybe he didn't put your pictures up because he didn't want to share you with the other guys?
Don't ever let your feelings get hurt by pin up girls, they're the last girls you need to worry about being jealous of. They're really no more than scenery, and that doesn't compete with in-the-flesh women.

Over analyzing. Guys put posters up of hot girls. Doesnt mean they will ever get the girls.

What kind of pictures did you send him ? Did you send him measly 4x6's or did you send him real posters? There are plenty of online sites that will print out real poster sized pictures.

I think its fair that he don't want everyone seeing your hot pictures but not that he said no to you putting pictures up too.
