Why do people use dating apps and not instagram?

Idk my insta has like 5 pics and 50 followers. Made it for my ex when I was with her. I should probably build it up, but I hate seeing so many women with their asses out when I go on

How do you even find people from your area on Instagram? Do you just put your location in the search bar and hope to find somebody who has uploaded some pic with a tag of their area?

Because instagram isn’t for dating where the whole point of dating apps is to date…?

I actually consider instagram as a somewhat dating app.

Women are there for the attention, and when they really do find "the one" they start to delete all the attention seeking photos and start uploading photos being all respectful.

I also noticed that when they do break up, or are new single mothers, they amp up their attention grabbing pics. They post media of them wearing clothing that reveals so much skin. They go out to clubs more and broadcast it live showing off the goodies. It's like putting a huge "FOR SALE" sign. "EVERYTHING 50% OFF".

They will always make the excuse "girls night out", "it's just for me", "because I like it" - NO IT'S FOR YOU TO ATTRACT AND RACK UP THE MESSAGES AND PICK THE GUY YOU THINK WILL MOST LIKELY SECURE YOUR FUTURE.

Because my instagram sucks ass and has few followers, whereas it’s much easier to put together a dating app profile

Because you need to send a message request on Instagram. Chances are she will never see your messafe on ig. I tried it many times.

Have you actually tried using IG for dating?

The reason people use dating apps instead of IG is because when you talk to people you've matched with on a dating app, you know they're likely somewhat interested in you or else they wouldn't be talking to you

Whereas on IG, they could just be responding to you out of politeness (that's if they even respond at all)

This is like asking why people use Google Maps for directions instead of the places feature on Instagram lol

This needs to be discussed more.

Here’s my tips

ONLY follow attractive females that are PRIVATE If they accept and follow you back, it’s a start, if they just accept - unfollow

Also your profile should be private so they have to request you (this also makes them think, why is he following me? I don’t know him but his profile pic looks cute)

When you accept their follow request, make sure you have a active story that is atleast showing you in motion. They will watch your story after you accept them

Now you should keep posting cool stuff to your story and she should keep watching it

After a few days, make sure you have another story with you in a video, after she watches it, try a dm slide by commenting on her story

Other tricks

Look up local bars, coffee houses, local Starbucks stores, local food bloggers etc and follow the women who follow those, and also ones who LIKED recent photos

Also go through a women’s followers to look for ones there too.

Try to follow women who have less than 800 followers. They’re going to be more active / curious about you.

Don’t ever talk about how attractive they are when you slide, they know you find them attractive

Your stories don’t have to be COOL. Just don’t post dumb shit. Drinking alcohol, doing drugs, anything political, no reposts of quotes. Playing video games. You are to look SAFE, fun and normal. A gym vid, maybe what your eating for dinner, maybe what your watching on tv, something your doing around your house (even chores), your pet, a hobby, just your NORMAL shit. No “thirst” traps, no “intentionally” looking good subliminal videos. Use video - picture - boomerang - picture as your structure.

Don’t post a lot of the exact same shit If you don’t have anything to really post for the day, don’t post anything The algorithm prefers you not to post a lot in a short period of time. So maybe 3-4 spread out the whole day.

Also don’t post good stuff after 10, it’ll not really get pushed out overnight.

If you go on IG and watch 99% of guys stories, it’s a bunch of bullshit that ends up getting muted by women

If she is following 1200 people but keeps watching your story, your doing something right because she’s not watching 1999 stories. She maybe is watching 20 stories max

Also don’t FOLLOW a lot of women. After they accept your follow request, do your research, if they are married, have a bf, not as attractive as profile pic etc UNFOLLOW. You want your follow ratio to be as close to 5-1 as possible, makes you look more attractive to NEW women your trying to get to follow you

Dating apps match you with people who are already in your area…

IG does have more ways to approach the situation tho. But for the most part it’s a hassle if you don’t really know anybody in that city. On top of lowkey depending on a follow back

SpinPlates · 2024-11-30T07:47:33+00:00

I use both with a lot of success. You just have to have a decent following and post your hobbies and activities. It’s so fucking easy to exchange IGs with a girl and then just let her stalk your profile and watch your stories (if you do cool stuff)

You can also look up your city on IG. Then click the map for the stories and watch the stories for every bar, club, gym, park etc etc. Watch the stories that people have tagged in that location for hot girls and give them a follow, like a few pictures and see if they follow you back. Done this many times. Whenever they ask how you came across their profile you just say “Oh I was at the Golden Gate Bridge and I was looking on IG at other stories of the bridge and I saw your story you posted and i thought you were attractive, let’s get a drink”

Even easier if you or the girl is traveling
