I'm 27. I joined instagram about 6 months ago and so far have got only 70+ followers. I haven't made any posts. Actually I'm least interested in social media. (Deleted facebook about a decade ago and couldn't care less about it. Though I'm not against uploading a pic or two once I'm certain I'll get decent amount of likes.)
Only reason I'm staying is i love following the various sports pages, and a few other pages. I don't spend more than a few minutes every day, and I prefer to continue doing so.
But my question is, would girls who look my profile up hold the stark lack of social proof against me? Am i shooting myself in the foot by continuing this profile?
I have an admittedly short, almost non-existant social circle which I'll grow sooner or later.
Am I overthinking or do these things matter in this day and age?
Thanks.
Edit: Thank you very much for your answers. So the bottomline i could take away is to just stop thinking about it. Which isn't too difficult as i was doing exactly that till a couple of days ago when this question suddenly hit me. Thanks again.

Controversial opinion time: if you have no legitimate reason to be on instagram then your life is probably boring. You don't own a business? Have a career? If you do and have no reason to promote yourself on instagram you probably work in a really boring field that women aren't interested in. Because instagram is all about the things that women love: image, lifestyle, travel, fashion, food, friends, status, materialism. There's nothing wrong with working at a boring cubicle job in a bank or whatever, but rest assured that there are other guys with interesting lifestyles to show off on IG and they inherently have more SMV than you.

Well sure but TRP says that you're supposed to have interesting hobbies and a mission that you're passionate about. If you just play video games and are only interested in stemlord things then women aren't going to find that very attractive.
I never said anything about changing yourself into something you don't want. There was a time when I wasn't following my mission to my fullest potential and I wasn't active on social media. As I dedicated myself more to my passion and started having some success with it I naturally needed to use social media to promote myself and network with other people and ended up with a good social media presence just by following my interests. And it has definitely helped with women.
You don't have to be obsessive about it. I rarely post on instagram. I've been interested in photography for a very long time so when cool things are going on in my life it's a no brainer to take pictures and post them once in a while. When my life gets dull and there's nothing going on I have a lot less to post. Appealing IG posts flow directly from living an interesting eventful life. It shouldn't be hard work or some kind of phony front you're putting on.
