I’m in Australia, not the US. I think it’s pretty common? If you’re not straight and a woman, you’ll probably come across it a lot *while dating. Sometimes women will pretend they’re the only one looking, but the telltale is often one picture of her with some dude at the end of her pics. They’ll also try to convince you to do it even if you’re not interested in men.
Edit: A lot of non-binary people also get it actually. I don’t think it really happens to men though.
It’s like a “sign that reveals something hidden”. It’s often said as “telltale signs”. For example, you might say “these are the telltale signs of alcoholism” if you went to someone’s house and there was a half empty bottle of whiskey on the counter at 9 in the morning.
Im on the eastern seaboard if the US. Its a pretty common term amoung millenials and younger. Plenty of folks older use it, its just not as likely a random personal would know.
Thanks. I had no idea. Is it a common way of saying in US? Where I live we don’t have anything similar

Thanks, but what is a telltale? Sorry I am very ignorant in these things
