What's things you hate about social media the most?

Strangers don't talk to each other these days. Back in the 90s, when I arrived at a hostel in Europe, everybody would congregate in the main living room, drinking beers and saying hello to each other. Finding buddies to party with that night was easy. Nowadays, when you arrive to any public place, everybody is on their damn phone being anti-social. Saying hello is considered threatening.

People these days only socialize with conformists like themselves. Its sad and I would not want to be a young person in today's world. I'm glad I saw the best of people in my youth.

The fact that it has people detached. Social media litteraly dumbs us down. People don't know and don't care about what's going on in the world because my generation 27yo and younger only use social media. They don't read, they don't stimulate their minds in any way other than facebook. It has imprisoned the masses to keep them preoccupied and distracted. Its a pissing contest to see who lives a better more extravagant lifestyle.

I think habitual users of facebook don't even think about their own future or what they want in life. The only time they do that is comparing their lives to the lives of others on social media. Its sickening and disturbing how addicted people are to it

Also I HATE the cock suckers that like any picture a girl posts then commenting how beautiful she is, along with the other 30 suckers that did the same thing.....fellas, acknowledging a girl on facebook won't do anything to help you

The desperate need for validation.

trappedoutthebando · 2018-08-19T21:32:08+00:00

Social media has lead us to become a copycat culture and it trickles down to the lowest levels. People (specifically, women) are born under the assumption that if they aren't living these magical, photoshopped lives that their goddess Instagram model, who prostitutes herself on the side to afford a decent living, then something is wrong. I've dated women who use social media more than they breath - I even had one who outright told me (when I tried to get her to put the phone down so we can have one decent trip together) that she wanted to show everyone she was living a good lie.

The thing is, I get it why social media boasts these beautiful women who are genuinely "about" that life - it's happened all the time. Playboy magazine was a major thing back in the day that were page-to-page covered by genuinely beautiful women who genuinely lived that style (Pam Anderson is an example). Now a days, everything that doesn't have a penis (and some with penis) believes that because they know how to open up Photoshop and make a few posts that they are the next biggest shit.

Nowadays, it seems that social media has become a playing ground for self validation so insecurities can be momentarily hidden under the guise of Likes and Followers. I don't have problems taking a picture, I have my face plastered on more websites that I can count (rule9?), but when I see a page that claims "Passionate photographer" with every picture being some angle of their asses, or "Beauty is on the inside!" with a girl who knows she's ugly, hides her face and tries to use her best 38.2193813120 angle degree photo, or a girl who claims "I'm doing me, living my life to the fullest!" with pictures of her in the club looking like someone dropped powder on her face.

If you're a regular girl who was not born with the body or face of a supermodel and you see this on a regular and you see millions of people validate the same look (plump lips, ass that can't fit in a car, tits and flawless caramel skin and neon blue eyes) and these girls who don't have these (not realizing its, again, a combination of photoshop, severe angle manipulation, and acrobatics) feel ugly - and then the insecurities developed - and then in order to seek validation they go and fuck every Tom and Jerry that makes eye contact. It's made everyone so shortsighted - forget what your future goals are, that last picture had over 300 likes! - Who needs kids when you can color-match your next 3 posts? Wait, Kylie had a kid and she gained 3m followers? Maybe it can work for me! People seem to forget that a picture speaks 1 second, of 1 minute, of one hour, of 24 hours in a day, 8760 hours a year.

It's truly sad to see. It's come to a point where if I see a girl on social media I immediately assume they're sluts. It sucks that I make such generalizations but it literally engrained itself in my head and I'm actually glad it's how I think. It's funny, a friend asked me (hes mgtow) how he would get a girl that isn't so social media obsessed - I told him to go to central Africa and speak to the tribesman lol.

Banning Alex jones. Those cocksuckers got it coming to them.

Ya know I don't really hate it so much is that I just don't care about it. It's really all just fake ass shit anyway. People just propping their own lives up to make themselves seem better or more interesting to others.

I never really cared when I had it. Everyone I had on there I either saw or was in contact with on a daily basis.

I had to get rid of it though. Not so much because of the attention whoring and validation bullshit (which I don't like) but because my son's mom with her bullshit (always trying to make me look bad when I was out having a good time and she was at her place watching our son. Trying to guilt trip me and shit. I love my son to death and he knows that) and a crazy stalker ex gf who actually somehow and someway got my parents number and still calls there) I was like fuck this I'm out.

Everything is a giant competition for likes and attention. Even the most mundane of things gets turned into a race for the most likes these days. Social media has made it possible to be connected to everyone in the world in an instant, ironically, this ability has made us less social than ever before.

Darth_Toenail · 2018-08-19T20:34:38+00:00

I think most of the problems with "social media" stem from the first word. All the rest are caused by the second.

We've become a society of dopamine hits.. I'm even guilty of it.. coming here to get upvotes with random comments I'll never remember in 2 days anyways. I've cut out city-data forums completely though after yet another infraction from PJ Saturn. I'm gradually cutting out my time wasting internet usage.

The social part.

hrm0894 · 2018-08-19T22:57:34+00:00

I don't hate social media, tbh. It's allowed me to understand people and women a lot more. Plus with the boom of social media it has made it much easier to go MGTOW since I get social interaction from social media sites.

Dislike the amount of keyboard warriors. Go to any facebook comment section and its just a landfill of people talking shit

Dank_Meems · 2018-08-20T20:56:19+00:00

Women seeking attention from guys they would never talk to in real life just to fill their shitty attention meter.
