Six Basic Snaps Guys Send, Featuring Justin Bieber

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

Snapchat can be the ultimate tool for flirting with ultimate tools.

For example, my boyfriend Justin Bieber snaps me all the time.

Just kidding. But the Internet is flooded with artificial Justin Bieber Snapchat screenshots that beautifully capture the most basic snaps guys send. Dick pics excluded, here they are:

1. Goodnight/Good morning/What’s good? Snaps

  • These basic snaps are almost always taken in bed.
  • They’re sent between the hours of 12A.M. to 10A.M.
  • They’re often shot from the perspective of how you might see him if you were lying down next to him.
  • Totally cute if you’re dating, painfully sweet if you’re dating long-distance, and creepy/gross/disturbing/block worthy if he has a girlfriend/you haven’t talked in months/it’s obvious that he mass sent it (and it’s always obvious when he mass sends it).

2. Snappa Snaps

  • Snappa Snaps are a trademark for any Isla Vista dweller.
  • (Justin Bieber not pictured), these snaps always include: tall glasses of beer, shirtless bros, wooden tables.
  • Yes, Snappa Snaps are also sent on weekdays.

3. Pre-workout Snaps

  • If he’s not shirtless in this picture, then he’s wearing a tank.
  • Often taken in the bathroom mirror.
  • But almost always taken in a mirror.

4. Post-Workout Snaps

  • We can’t forget about the Post-Workout Snap.
  • Typically, Post-Snaps are only sent if a Pre-Snap isn’t.
  • But it’s not a shocker that some basic guys send both.
  • Quite like his workout, shirtless pics are great midday boosts.

5. Bong Snaps

  • Selfied snaps of him taking snaps.
  • Or of his friends taking snaps.
  • Usually sent at around 4:20P.M.
  • And then again at 4:20A.M.
  • This guy probably doesn’t have a job.

6. Food Snaps

  • Often following the Bong Snap is the Food Snap.
  • Munchies galore, and saliva stimulating food porn.
  • Often with the caption, “dank burrito,” “dank french fries,” or in this case, “dank apple.”
