Does Instagram with fewer followers (40 follower) indicates low status? I usually just follow close friends of mine and those whom I'm good with and really know in person, but I feel like especially women will see that as turn off, regardless of my reasons. I was thinking about building it up if it really affects the status and I guess it would also help to elaborate my social circle since I travel a lot and meet other People from other countries. What do you guys think, should I work on it or just leave it? (I'm not really active on Instagram since years, so I have no Idea how it is nowadays)

Thanks in advance
