Lmao this shit again. IG is a seller's market. You're experiencing FOMO big time.

First of all, you need to be high value irl. Look at the larping clowns and try not to laugh. It's pathetic. How retarded you have to be to buy followers or follow 'influencers' just for a whiff of external validation.

Use it as a tool. Im DJ/producer. Top 500 RA. I only post flyers and promo, maybe some story here and there. The problem is that you want to put the cart before the horse.

IG fb or whatever won't get you pussy if you're larping. I know plenty of guys like that, try hards, it's easy to spot them. They are nobodies irl despite their followers.

Become the shit, or larp with fake rolex and taking pics next to rented cars in rented suit.

Read your third paragraph. You clearly cringe to yourself while browsing Instagram. Just by reading your post I can tell that you’ve never cold approached a girl. Grow some balls and stop wasting your time on this shit app.

Post once every 1-3 months, cool picture doing something special.

I haven't had social media for years. Quit 4 years ago, but I had over 1,000 followers on instagram at a certain point. It hasn't held me back from dating. In fact, it's probably opened more doors than closed them.

I'm 31. At this point, I'm borderline "old man" to a lot of younger women, so it's possible that they might find it weird or immature if I, a grown-ass man, had, say, a TikTok.

Not having social media is an interesting conversation starter. Funny enough, someone who has consciously chosen not to be on social media is an outlier in today's society. Women are usually curious as to why I have no social media. I make it clear that it wasn't for lack of popularity, but rather because I felt it was a net negative on my life (bad habit because it's a waste of time, gossip, FOMO, comparison anxiety, etc).

Girls use social media to find out a sneak peek of what they expect to enter into in terms of lifestyle with you. They also use it to validate whether a guy is a player or a solid dude, or a shut-in creep. Frankly, I don't want social media to play any meaningful part of my relationship, so I've set that precedent from the start. It's a great filter to keep stupid h03s out of my life.

I do have a LinkedIn. So if I meet a girl on a dating app and insist on using social media to validate that I'm a real person, I'll just send them my LinkedIn profile. It usually makes them laugh. I can specifically think of several girls who I ended up fucking after doing that.

TL;DR you don't need it. But it can help if you are trying to reach a specific demographic.

It's super useful. Beware of addiction and validation seeking like every other social media. You would be surprised how useful it is to upload photos of your face with music songs and shit on your story, it's easy for girls who already like you to ping and be active in the minds of the ones who don't like you YET. Don't look needy or overcompensating, just add to the fun and slightly imply your high value and social proof.

I don't have any social media, but is it understandable that people can ~~only~~ meet this way these COVID days - with social proof there.

Who knows how much of that'll remain in a year.

I use it as something that people will use to look me up. If you're an employee, it will be your employer. So just put a nice pic, you like the local sports team, and that you like to steal from your employer(JUST JOKING).

RPEdmonton · 2021-05-10T18:40:57+00:00

It’s hard. You want to look active.

An IG with a lot of followers is so good for social proof. I have about 7k on mine and link it on my dating Apps and almost every girl brings it up on our first date lol
