Do guys in their early 20s really hook up through Instagram? My friend claims he pulls “7/10” girls but I’m skeptical.

Flower-Bender · 2025-08-10T01:48:48+00:00

all guys brag and overplay their sexual experiences, but what he's saying isn't unheard of

how good looking is he? is he confident, makes good money, socialble, etc? if so i could totally see it being a thing

Khower · 2025-08-10T01:46:42+00:00

Ive gotten laid from Instagram more than tinder/bumble combined.

I dont even use dating apps anymore but IG usually works well with sliding in on mutual friends and people I kinda know but dont fully know

SeinoMore · 2025-08-10T09:42:04+00:00

Use it like a personal profile. Portray your best image on Instagram, maybe just 20 pictures, occasionally updated, they should show that you are cool person to be with. You can look up which kind of pictures that people suggest you put on a dating profile.

Then, when you meet someone you exchange instagram with them. This allows you to check them out, and signal that you are interested in them by liking their stuff. You also have a backdoor chat to them. But beware, really hot girls have 100s of guys in their chat. They probably won’t see your messages.

Occasionally, post a story when you are at great place or having a good time. It’s like 5 second advert about how cool it is to be with you. Use this to seed conversations rather than approaching by chat. Why? Because if they like or comment they are giving you an obvious indicator of interest.

If you ever get a non-stop chat then they are totally hooked on you and you must take an immediate action.

Important_Tip_6181 · 2025-08-10T01:46:29+00:00

If he is handsome and has a nice profile then yes it's totally possible

Certain_Process_7657 · 2025-08-10T04:18:04+00:00

Don't believe anything unless you actually see him in person grabbing her ass or kissing her in front of you. Just showing a random hot chick on his phone doesn't mean shit.

But to answer your question, no I've never met someone IRL who has actually pulled a baddie via IG.

emck405 · 2025-08-10T04:32:40+00:00

People who say women talk more than men have never met a man when he's bragging a lie

Realistic-Bowler7563 · 2025-08-10T09:23:12+00:00

I can confirm its 1000% possible. You just need a good conversation starter because as most people have stated these girls get bombarded with messages. if you follow 20 girls/day at least one will follow back per day you do that for a week you will have at least 7 girls follow you back - if you already got a good opener (opener is key either have a smooth chat up line or comment something relevant on their story) 5/7 girls that followed you back will respond. If you have good game and know how to close then at least 2/3 will give you their number now you have 2/3 girls number just from instagram whatever direction you take it after that is all up to you. But you can 1000% get luck on instagram personally i set the tone from early from my opener so when i get their number its with intention or meeting up soon. And these numbers and percentages are based on if you have a bang basic instagram profile with at least just 1 picture. You dont need to look like Brad Pit. Its 20x easier and the percentages will be higher if you are good looking and have an optimised profile like you have lots of nice pictures travelling going fun places have a good social circle keep active etc then it is much much easier. BUT with a bang basic instagram profile average looking 1 picture you can get 2/3 numbers/week from VERY NICE GIRLS if you follow 20 girls/day.

Lastly - OPENER matters especially when you have got a bang basic instagram profile you gotta do more leg work but you don;t need to say to much just be smooth and don't sound like all the other 100s of guys.

ericisatwork · 2025-08-10T10:07:08+00:00

when i was single, i hooked up with 4 women that i'd never met simply from sliding into DM's. i'd see them on mutual friends stories or something like that and then shoot my shot. i probably DM'd 50 or so different women and slept with 4. not great odds, but not terrible either.

ircommie · 2025-08-10T04:40:47+00:00

He's lying on the hit rate. Either that or he can't count.

Candyman44 · 2025-08-10T05:18:25+00:00

Here’s the deal…. Who knows. If he can get there attention from a DM then odds r he’s fucking them. If not and he says he’s fucking them then he got them to meet him in person and he’s got rizz As you kids say.

FriendlyWrenChilling · 2025-08-10T07:01:46+00:00

Your friend likely uses cold approach and social circle to make an impression first, and then schedule the dates on Instagram. He explains it to you by saying he meets women through Instagram, because perhaps he has very strong texting abilities.

Eitherway who cares whether its real or not. This is the standard way to escalate after getting contacts. Focus on your own sets

Lopsided-Letter1353 · 2025-08-10T09:11:13+00:00

You guys see that dating CRM going around IG?

This guy Brody is using AI automation to cold pitch himself to like hundreds of thousands of girls all automated.

They get added to like a CRM where he does lead enrichment and everything like he’s running a business.

He went through the stats and it was like hundreds of thousands of messages sent he got curved on most of them, but in the end he ended up with like 400 matches or something crazy like that.

The funniest part of it though is the fact that the AI bots, during the lead enrichment, would get the girls confused with their relatives and then the bots would start rizzing up the relatives instead!

preettty funny

ThreeArmedYeti · 2025-08-10T10:05:25+00:00

Yes. I would say it's even better than Tinder. The friend recommendation function is amazing. Some women are just downloading Tinder and if they feel a bit down they just check how many likes they got and maybe respond to a few DMs but Insta is different. Same platform they talk to their friends in their 20's so they will definiately check the mails.

My advice would be to use cold approach as default. Respond to the girl's story might be a good starting point. And even if you can't write anything to it you can wait until she uploads a different one. However if the girl follows you back, likes your pics or stories you will have a better chance to try direct approach.

Educational-Cake7350 · 2025-08-10T14:31:51+00:00

I’m old. Back in my day, it was from MySpace to MyPlace. Message a chick, go back and forth and sometimes actually meet up in real life.

IG can be just like Tinder. I don’t see why not. As long as you can have interesting convo thru text, as well as be the same interesting person, in person, I say go for it.

Infamous_Anonyman · 2025-08-10T18:29:28+00:00

When i was early 20's (about 12 years ago), i had nice pictures, was buff and had women slide into my messenger on the regular.

I also sent a lot of messages to random women. Hooked up with them.

It definately can happen. Not like i'm some sort of god or anything extraordinary, but you sure as hell can seduce/conquer women through social media.

Unfortunately for me, i never got into instagram/snapchat/tiktok, cause i think it's a goldmine if you really like to post a lot of stuff about yourself consitantly.

Some women actually told me: "if you would post regular photo's you would get laid so much more"

I just don't care to post stuff on those channels.

Kyle281 · 2025-08-12T21:22:50+00:00

I honestly feel like Instagram is the best dating app I have. Being able to interact with other people's stories with low engagement, slowly build rapport over time and have fun banter is really powerful.

burncushlikewood · 2025-08-10T02:32:54+00:00

Dude honestly you're asking because you're jealous? Who cares if your friend is DMing randos on instagram and who cares how good looking they are. Focus on yourself, at 5'6 130lbs is very small, maybe he has game or money, either way it doesn't help yourself. I am not a supporter of OLD and apps for meeting women, call me old fashioned but I'll take my chances with a in person cold approach than trying to slide in on the DMs

per54 · 2025-08-10T05:05:29+00:00

I had a girl from Taiwan fly over to see me (I did buy her flight but she did the rest). And have dated others from it too. Find hashtags you like and can relate and comment to. That’s what’s worked for me

bagman_ · 2025-08-10T07:33:08+00:00

It worked pretty well in my early 20s, he could be telling the truth

DefiantDeparture7820 · 2025-08-10T10:14:54+00:00

Bro people lie all the time

Green_Cat_1217 · 2025-08-10T10:22:20+00:00

How to go into DMs please. And what if you’re a little influencer around the town. How can that affect you?

Professional_Kick149 · 2025-08-10T17:23:04+00:00

Lmaoo yes we do n it’s possible

Suavedaddy5000 · 2025-08-10T22:40:06+00:00

I did when I was in my early 20's but they slid into my Dms so idk how accurate my statement is to the masses 🤕😔

Alone_Camel · 2025-08-10T23:54:34+00:00

I knew a dude who ran through 100+ 9s & 10s baddies through using IG DM, but he was one of those famous twenty-something year old Jet set entrepreneur business Instagram guys. All with the same pick up line too. But he treated it like a game and he had a whole psychological system to do it

Content-Afternoon39 · 2025-08-11T14:47:04+00:00

I didnt try this till recently.

Didnt exact start with IG. However I saw a girl on my Facebook's 'people you may know' list. I kept on seeing her constantly. She lives in a nearby country and I happen to have one mutual friend from 10+ years ago in said country. She was probably a solid 8-9/10 in my books.

One day I pulled the trigger and added her on FB and IG and she accepted. We conversed for abit and turns out she was a flight attendant and was coming to my city in two weeks.

Long story short. We met up. Didnt get laid but it could've been possible in the right sequence or scenario. She's coming back to my city in 3 weeks so I might see her again.

But yes, it can work if you've got a good profile with good pics, evidence of lifestyle and higher value. Bear in mind I only have 100+ followers and my DP is an ai portrait and I mostly have good gym selfies, other selfies, little bit of travel, social and a few AI sets to make my profile look a little nicer.

eleven8ster · 2025-08-11T14:59:54+00:00

I’m 40 and have done this. Just slide into their dms. I don’t try sleeping with women for the sake of it, but I have dated a few and gotten laid from this. I actually think it’s easier than dating sites. I also friend matches and don’t talk to them for a while. I let them check me out and eventually slide into their DMs. Idk. Seems better that way. They can vet you and feel more comfortable.

BigBroYoshi · 2025-08-13T11:09:54+00:00

Don't feel bad about it.

MOST guys always try and showcase and overestimate their success. Instagram would be legit but only if his profile is solid (which you say it isn't).

Know this - most guys aren't sleeping around and getting loads of results with chicks, it may seem like it but everyone's frauding. I felt in a deep depression before because I thought every guy I knew was scoring heaps, but once I saw the side once I got results, I realised what most guys say doesn't add up.

You have every right to be sceptical.

Btw Instagram is definitely a better option ONLY if your profile is solid.

But online dating apps beat it a hell of a lot because you'll only deal with girls who are interested for you (and not your clout/statusmax from Instagram)

EducationalArmy9152 · 2025-08-10T03:44:37+00:00

I’m doing Insta wrong I usually add girls I already banged and often I add girls I meet IRL then one of my boys adds them and asks do you know [my name] and tries to get a root. Do you guys post absolute thirst trap pictures? I’m curious because the theory of using Insta doesn’t stack up otherwise. Most girls use insta as a default if they don’t wanna give their number. I.e. they give one guy they really like their number and the other 3 that approach them in any given month will get their Insta and so they get a few new “followers.” Is the idea to ditch the dating apps and just target 7s and 8s?

Haunting_Acadia2193 · 2025-08-10T06:07:37+00:00

it really works is you have dope also.

Neat-Egg5659 · 2025-08-10T17:17:25+00:00

skip instagram dms cold approaching random people. try coffee shops/bookstores instead. face to face lets you read social cues and build actual connection. plus most girls get 50+ dms daily so you're just noise

Sulla314 · 2025-08-10T03:45:36+00:00

I’ve pulled from TikTok and Facebook. I’m not good at it but it’s doable.

bquietson · 2025-08-10T07:32:08+00:00

10 foot girls sounds interesting.

Magonbarca · 2025-08-10T11:57:11+00:00

I see much more scrawny short dudes than tall ones with girls where I am from

HumanContract · 2025-08-10T13:47:36+00:00

What age ranges do these things lol

Sporty_guyy · 2025-08-10T16:45:04+00:00

I am almost 30 and still doing it . What’s so unbelievable about it ? 😂

LabRare5783 · 2025-08-10T18:10:28+00:00

mix of both

speak_truth__ · 2025-08-11T01:45:41+00:00

I don’t do social media either but I have some mates that do it yeah not rhese corny lines just commenting on stories and pics to get the convos going Then invite her out somewhere

trdcr · 2025-08-11T08:08:47+00:00

How good his ig profile is?

black-box-qwerty · 2025-08-11T13:25:14+00:00

Get his checked for STD

seggsluvr · 2025-08-10T02:08:12+00:00

He might be lying about the 7/10 because a 7 is actually very attractive and there’s no such thing as a 10, but Instagram is more direct than dating apps. If he’s handsome himself or has a profile that shows status, he could easily sleep with multiple women by sending them a message

Hot_Lead_7335 · 2025-08-16T05:48:51+00:00

He's lying
