Should I use Instagram?

I'm 21 and deleting Instagram was one of the best things I've done this month.

You should only use instagram to sell a certain image of yourself for easy hook ups or build your brand. Every other time you spend on social media is useless.

The less social media in your life, the happier you’ll be

No. I am a college junior. It wastes too much time. Instagram only benefits women in the sense that it is used for their validation.

Be mysterious. Stay in the real world. Save time.

It really comes down to whether being on IM or any social media platform brings you value for the time you put into it. If you're making money or getting something of real world value out of it then keep it. If not, and your using it to gossip and watch other people lives then get rid of it.

22, deleted it when I was 19. Best decision ever

Eventually you get used to not having one.

Yes because if you don’t have any posts on your Instagram you’re considered weird and anti social.

Why don’t you go pick the most good looking kid/popular in your high school and see his Instagram.

Nice clean pictures on your Instagram are actually are a really easy way to grab the attention of women who are around you but never got the chance to interact with you.

**This is especially relevant in the age group 18-24 after that no one cares if you have Instagram or not

ig is where i get all my plates. works out.

Depends my dude. It depends on the type of girls you want to meet. Since I my type is shy nerdy girls, I know they aint gonna socialize much besides classes. So I pop my ig posts with friends and all the awesome shit I do, and some ig stories when im with chicks and this way shy girls see what u doin and know you are epic, then when you make a move she will know you are epic and be much more upfront

I use instagram, but my account is private and I only let close friends follow me. So K have about 10-20 followers. I post a few times a month. Usually only updates and funny shit that happens. It does not consume my time at all, but I am not really that into instagram tho.

Chick recently asked for my IG. I told her that I thought it was a clout chase and that I'd opted out. I was just being honest but she thought it was kinda cool. I asked for her number and she gave it without resistance. It's all about attitude. Also, unless you have 100k+ followers it's actually gonna hurt your chances--it kills all mystery. And it's a time sink

I deleted the app a while back and finally blocked the website on my computer, just keep my account because one day I could use it to market no other reason to go on there, and I'm the same age as you.

Deleting every social media outlets, is like lifting for your presence for being mysterious.

lifeisweirdasfuck · 2018-12-02T08:16:03+00:00

High School senior here. Don’t. Unless you are popular/rich/a model. Like everyone else said Instagram only benefits women. That’s their favorite drug: validation generator.

I never follow back women, neither like their photos. Let betas do that.

DefJ456 · 2018-12-02T14:01:52+00:00

Why the fuck would you feel awkward for not posting pictures on instagram?? Shits a waste of time.

Thizzlebot · 2018-12-02T20:43:17+00:00

Social media is for fags and women

SlappaDaBayssMon · 2018-12-02T23:56:46+00:00

I have insta, I maybe spend 5 mins a day on it, it gets boring pretty quickly, but I find it a much better way to keep up with my people than Facebook, which I didn't even bother to delete, I just don't use it.

I post maybe once a month, if I actually come across something cool worth posting.

It doesn't have to be a weird thing.

GucciGangBucks · 2018-12-02T01:13:18+00:00

I have an Instagram and I only follow Trump, Tekashi 69, and 50 cent. I enjoy it for that reason. When I tell people this they find it funny.

Doesn’t effect SMV at all. I’d say just get an Instagram if you WANT ONE. Not because you have some secret validation fulfilling purpose.
