They’re all willing to pose but only one of them is being self-deprecating in the picture, the others are getting to show off - which is fine, nothing wrong with that - but the only outlier here is the girl with the beer so we don’t really learn anything about anyone but her.
Speculating on motives is pointless, I could say it was the idea of the most recently married one of the three who’s being a removed to the girl in purple, and purple felt pressured into doing it because she always gets harassed for being “no fun” or something.
You are making a lot of negative assumptions about girls you do not know. To me, this looks like a funny spin on the “omg look I’m engaged photo” (which there’s nothing wrong with, by the way, even though you claim it’s for attention. What’s wrong with that? Sometimes things happen to people and you want to share. So what), where four friends happen to be engaged at once except one, so they’re taking a silly photo they all agree to be in.
Your thinking smacks of misogyny in that you’re assuming that all of these girls are being horrible to each other because of some stupid assumption society has about that being “just how groups of women are”. It’s not true, and it’s stupid.
I made no negative assertions, just pointing out that speculation is useless because you could make up any situation that results in this photo, and that the only thing we can realistically conclude is that the girl in purple is ok with this photo existing, and her friends are married.
