not having instagram = social suicide?

Legit even nerdy ****** post pics of themselves doing ****. I guess if you're not active on social media as a guy, you're either low value, ugly, or boring and i've noticed that its mostly true except for situations where the guy's a chad.

Right now its social suicide for younger guys who don't have tiktok.

nah in everyone's life there's natural filters that keep a lot of the riff raff at bay and if not having instagram means you're not friends with someone, then they're probably not meant to be your friend.

Don’t have it and never tried it, or ******** or any of those. But I’m 41 and don’t care. My friends use it so I miss some stuff but no fuks given.

Absolutely not. IRL the game never changed. Put the phone down, go experience people in their natural environments, and you'll understand.

The whole thing is LOL. You can legit buy pictures from photogs to post on there to make it look like you have a perfect insta-life.

most people over 25 don't give af about social media bro. Actually it's rare to see a guy with a decent follower count on anything.

with the girls ive been with..
when the instagram topic comes up..
we look at each others page for a few mins, maybe like a few pics and then we never speak of it again

if instagram is where you first meet (like dms) then your page quality or pictures might matter, but otherwise its pointless

As yet another one of the oldcells in the thread I never had any social media either and did fine. If it's true younger men have to lower themselves to that, I feel very sad for them.

I’m 20 and deleted my social media out of high school. If I had some type of business or public venture then I would have one. I’m not really interested in women that have social media, it changes people.

no, social media is looked down upon by most grown adults, other than running their business and **** on it, but just foaming at the mouth over women is for betas.

Lol nah. Women don’t care whether or not you have social media. If you do, they’ll inspect it; but they don’t care if you don’t have one. It’s all about the face anyways.
You know the game brotha. If you don’t have social media and are chad-like, they’ll think you very mysterious.

nah but a few years back I've had girls ask for my IG and look at me crazy when I told them I didn't have it anymore.

if I would've known followers/friends would be weighed so heavily I would have never deleted my accounts several times... I mainly used my stuff as thirst traps though. Not so much anymore

yea, bro.. social media is the perfect barometer of authenticity... lol. if you even think that for a second (can't tell by your post) you have it backwards

anyways, people will surmise what i've done/ accomplished/ know just by my presence... so idk, don't feel the need

You can tell a LOT about people by their social media and what kind of pics they choose to post and what kind of friends and family they have.
it literally all can be faked, so i disagree.. you can also glean a lot by interacting with people. how they socially function, the words they choose, their demeanor, etc.

sooooooooooooooooo... same thing. it can be faked in real life too, but not over a larger period of time. social media can be completely faked though

we're gonna disagree, i know that. but it's literally never been a hindrance at all

except for a few times where i didn't get a girls number or something and wish i had been active. but oh well

never where a girl was like "oh you don't have social media?!?!"

Yes srs. love insta crew. insta is the goat social media. just lol at any other social media. i dont even give out my number anymore. on hinge/tinder/bumble or meeting in person.

I make sure I have a decent follower-following ratio. I post stories every weekend when I go out. Literally, that's the only thing I post. is the food/drinks/restaurants. Nothing else. Females love it srs. its the goat feel when they comment on my stories (srs).

again, no it's not. this reads more like your hopes and wishes

as i said before, it can all be faked

the extent that it can go is pretty bad too. the other day i was out with my friend and we were standing in line and some guy wanted to take a pic with my friend. he said it was for tinder. turned around took a pic with him. so he goes and posts it up on his insta/ tinder whatever.. you think he has "normal" "social" pictures with friends but they aren't real. they've never even spoken to each other

i mean.. that's jut the tip

authenticity is way more easily evaluated in real life. but, again, i will give you it can be faked too. like some dude renting a lambo for a night out at a club. just less so

or maybe i just have a good barometer and can read people easily
