- As it should be. Ugly people are so unsightly.

- Also can confirm, before i deactivated IG my last real post was from like the 2nd week of february. Only post stories and memes for the sl00ts that slide in my dms from them.

Silencespeaks your boomer is showing

Speaking on behalf of the generation you're trying to get with, you don't need it. Girls have told me it's attractive I don't have many pics posted on IG. It's all a perception, I don't like people knowing everything about me. I'd rather not flex hard on the gram even though I could, it attracts the wrong kind of people. The only social media platform I like is snapchat. It's a more personable way of communication and easy to restrict who can see what you post.

Super helpful to have an intern that carries around your rolodex and carphone, makes reservations, and manages your twitters and stuff.

Best part is you can just pay them in Youtube upvotes.

If I had a business I would absolutely need one to help promote it but as of now there's no reason for me to have any. When not having social media starts affecting my ability to take care of my family or find work then I will unfortunately have to adopt it.
I have no need to keep up with the younger folks or connect with new people, no need to know the latest memes, look at the same girl taking the same ass pic and squatting 50lbs.
Most people my age (31) dont really seem to care about it and say they wish they could do the same but they tie their whole life into social media.

That's how I feel about it.

I have no real need for it.

Came to a point months ago where I had to either make a new one or just leave it alone.

I chose to get rid of social media.

At first was kind of hard like the shock of adapting to anything new, now I don't even think about it though.

If you're hot your dm's are flooded so hop on the snapchat wave that's what we all use. Way easier engagement and interaction.

Future? Shes already a cat lady, but she replaced the cat with the internet. Pretty sad. Also, lol at her taking over yet ANOTHER thread.

I never really took ig seriously but decided to start. Started a new account and only going to try and upload good quality photos. It will take some time to build some kind of network. There are a lot of fake accounts that follow and unfollow so this is a problem I always seem with the platform. But there are some legit accounts that will follow you and interact with your content.

Dont have an instagram, Tiktok or any of the new **** and i barely use FB as well, and honestly i do just fine. I like face to face interactions and connecting with people IRL.

I may be handicapping myself with that though not going to lie. Not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze at this point. If i do well with women as it is im sure with an instagram id be in every girls radar on my city.

Sometimes wonder what would my life be like if i was extroverted lol.

Pretty sure most Latinas are very sociable. At least in South America, they are. Back before all of this social media stuff, you'd find people have parties in like every corner.

Well i cant compare, but in my experience yeah everyone is nice and social here.

I have a feeling that after this corona bull****, people will be super friendly again like in the old days and will seek face to face interactions. Im guessing and hoping that a lot of people both men and women will stop slooting around and instead seek for quality connections.

One can dream

If you want to be ahead of the curve, TikTok is next. Srs
As a hobby-musician, I use pretty much every social media no fux given (ig, twitter, fb, etc). I don't really see what all the fuss is about, even if it is becoming a "required" aspect of our human culture. You don't even have to use your real name or actually post publicly on social media apps to use them (booking restaurants, contacting small businesses, etc)

IG is the best platform to post pictures and follow IRL friends, Twitter and Reddit is just fine for following news, and ******** is still great for following music and events. Even TikTok has some pretty awesome skateboarding and art content.

It seems like those who are completely anti-social-media are just clinging on to whatever is left of late-90's and early-2000's internet culture (forums like misc, "calling people on the phone"). Get with the program or be left behind lol. Everyone uses social media to some degree (snapchat, youtube, discord, etc) and it's going to become even more integrated in our society in the coming years.
