😂😂I used it to reconnect with an old coworker I had a thing for. I had none of her info, and one day she just popped up in my “people you might know.” I was a bit hesitant at first, but I’m glad I did.

If it make you feel better it didn’t really lead anywhere other than being text buddies.

At the same time, I know a lot of professional women who have complained about sleazy guys using it to try to get dates instead of business.
[–]0001none 25 points26 points27 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well I think I speak for all men when I say I hate when women use Instagram to get business instead of dates
[–]etceterahyphen 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I never actually did PMed or harrass girls i found interesting, but just requesting connections to them. I have an uninteresting job, so finding successful women with interesting job titles feels exciting to me
[–]bytheninedivines 133 points134 points135 points 6 years ago (26 children) | Copy Link
I highly, highly doubt instagram is that high. I'd expect phone number to be around 60%, snapchat around 30%, instagram 9% and Facebook 1%.
Who the hell texts over instagram?
[–][deleted] 35 points36 points37 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yes and no. I definitely think snap and text are probably higher but I’ve legitimately hung out with guys who just found me on Instagram and slid in my DM’s. Preferably someone with mutual friends so you can get a sense of if they’re safe, but yeah. Don’t knock it til you try it haha
[–]Lost_Radiance 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Here in Orange County SoCal, in a variety of settings I often note folks exchange both Instagram & snap or start with and into the other. No surprise from me in this area.

Wtf is that a real question? I thought that was the way to go lol

Lots of noobs.
[–]QuantumShit00 40 points41 points42 points 6 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
Not always. If i talked to a girl for only 5 minutes she will likely flake when i start texting her. Instead i give her my instagram. I post cool stuff, riding motorcycle, training, going out, i always post stories with some girls. And she sees all of this and that way my instagram is gaming her. If she doesnt reply on my stories. Then i either reply to her story something situational or something cocky like “why didnt you like all of my pictures?” (Because sometimes i tell her like all of my pictures, in a funny not serious way, jokingly) depending on the girl obviously and depending on the vibe we had when we met.

I’m so glad I don’t fuck with social media. That’s jus too much time

Also requires things like motorcycles and a social life with girls.

Not that hard to do, just no one willing to get pussy.
They sure can complain they ain’t getting none though.
[–]QuantumShit00 3 points4 points5 points 6 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
Well, i wont argue with their logic. Even tho i would disagree that instagran closing is for noobs. I think high value men close with instagram, it litteraly games for them. If they dont see that it is okay, but it bothers that they have one way of thinking that worked once and now is the best way. They are like horses with blinkers, they only see ahead of them. We are all in this together, lets learn from eachother instead of arguing in every post on what is better do to. Stop, think about it, and write what you think. But consider the idea first. Then write what you think is better.
Preaching to work on yourself, become the man, do what you love, have passion. Advices to invite girls to somehing you are already doing but she can come along. It is litteraly just documenting yourself 10 minutes a day doing that kind of stuff. Cool shit in your already cool life you built for yourself. It is all about setup. It is not time consuming at all. Even better today everything is about social media. But its okay, gaming is much better in person, you learn a lot of skills. I do it more in person. But why not exploit these ones too. Mix them up. Closing with instagram is the new number close. Wish the best to all.
[–]erect_sean 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Based on my experience I get more consistent responses by number closing and then texting them through whatsapp (where you can also share stories) the main problem I’ve experienced with Insta is that it’s easy to get lost in the millions of stories girls watch from ppl she follows. Regardless the best way to make sure you get a response is a strong interaction
[–]QuantumShit00 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah you are correct about that. Too many options.
[+]hotshot117 -6 points-5 points-4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lots of cunts
[–]RaffNFreddy 9 points10 points11 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Instagram is just as good as phone number if not better, because you can see their stories and they can see yours.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Instagram is good, you can reply to stories and talk about posts. Lowers the chance of a boring “hey how are you doing” text conversation.
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Indians. My friend made his girlfriend through Instagram.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
IG thotties are a real thing, my guy. And considering u said “text over Instagram” (it’s a DM for direct message. Like “sliding in the DMs, etc) I’m gonna assume most IG thots fit a younger demographic than you do(like 18-25) But nevertheless, it’s a very real thing. Try it out sometime! U might like it. U might not. But u also might.
[–]bytheninedivines 8 points9 points10 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yea I know, I'm 19. I've found instagram girls usually just accept your follow request and never follow back.
After all, each girl I meet has simps constantly dming them and following them, they just assume you're another thirsty guy.
[–]salami_inferno 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
You're bagging girls over 30 if a phone number and texting is how they communicate.
[–]Demmitri 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Agree, hotties between 20-25 use instagram DM's almost exclusively.
[–]bytheninedivines 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I use snapchat almost exclusively

[–]woahman0421 26 points27 points28 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
fuck social media in general gimme your number
[–]Nutsonclark 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Many girls I know do not feel comfortable giving their number as it ties them to their identity, apps like Snapchat Make dating much safer for woman and because of that alone I have likely fuck 20 girls from Snapchat conversations
[–]woahman0421 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
true. although if someone wants your info bad enough they can rip it from wherever snapchat included, and fairly easily relatively. but most people dont know how to do that so practically, i guess it is safer

Where's reddit? You got wife material if she uses it
[–]Ice666White[S] 7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Then she probably won't be offended by everything.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Who’d want to meet someone from Reddit? Too much compromising information in your post history

Why so ashamed of your own interests and activity?
[–]PayneGreyWolf 8 points9 points10 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wow it’s sad how many dudes are asking for social media, making a middle man for yourself rather than just getting the number. Act like a fan you’ll get treated like one
[–]Alan-glenn 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
What does "closing" mean in this context?
[–]hendrixc7 7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Before parting ways with a girl one likes, you ask either of those above? So phone number looks like it’s best
[–]Pretzilla 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It comes from a sales term. E.g., closing the deal

It was from www.GameGlobal.net/groups
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sample size? F close or? Does instagram include the girls with "premium" benefits? Seems rather large if not but rule 1 and 2 of tinder so I dont know
Snapchat... ugh
[–]Ice666White[S] 8 points9 points10 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I know. It's for 14 year olds.
Last time I said that on Reddit, all the 14 year olds downvoted me.
[–]daygameinfields 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
WTF!!! Why is facebook so low!? Weird. 10 years ago all the youngsters used facebook for dating.
By the way, this data is from The Message Game (Book)
www.Facebook.com/groups/MessageGame has more information.
[–]AWezzo13 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
What do you mean by ‘closing’?
[–]rwh0016 -1 points0 points1 point 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Snapchat and texting are the main ways. Instagram isn’t really a good way to close
[–]Demmitri 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Top player guy I know has closed an unreal number of hotties via Instagram. I think you out of tune my friend.
[–]rwh0016 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Different strokes for different people I guess. I also only post sporadically on Instagram
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I like how tinder is not on the chart
[–]Ice666White[S] 2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
That's because you can't get someone's Tinder as a contact... You can get ALL OF THESE ABOVE from Tinder.
That's like saying you like how 'day game' is not on the chart.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Thanks. But rude downvote, I was just wrong.
[–]ale_dona 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Kinda sad that in person isn’t even an option
[–]Ice666White[S] 5 points6 points7 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
How are you gonna meet someone again then? Arrange a carrier pigeon to chirp a signal?
[–]ale_dona 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sorry you’re right, I didn’t see the logistics write
[–]_A_ioi_ 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think there's some confusion over your use of the word "closing". To me it has nothing to do with getting contact info. If anything, getting social media info just as likely a way of making someone go away.
Closing to me is making it to first base - which would be done in person.
[–]imotski88 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
close for instagram is really dumb hahah. there is only one option: phone number
[–]TerminatorReborn 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The way I think it's best: Always get the phone number if the girl is interested. If you notice she has lowish interest in you ask/give your instagram
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Instagram you will be lost with 100+ other message requests
True story. I have seen hundreds from a girl's Instagram account in just 3 weeks.

[–]vitamin-cheese -3 points-2 points-1 points 6 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
All this shit is ridiculous why can’t people just text wtf is the point of going through an extra middle man to do the same thing.
[–]Ice666White[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
You should read The Message Game, it looks like you might be doing some things wrong.
[–]vitamin-cheese 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Thanks I’ll read it . But I don’t see the point of asking someone for their Instagram when you could just get a phone number . Also for someone like me who doesn’t use it as social media, and I know a lot of people so I don’t want to post a bunch of pictures of myself and build some kind of online profile to show myself off just so I can get some girls. I don’t want to be seen as someone who posts that kind of stuff to the rest of people I know at the expense of getting some woman , and I also don’t care about the others persons Instagram account either . All I’m saying is I don’t see why anyone would even do this opposed to talking on the phone over text.
My Instagram is how I want it to be. It's not specifically to get girls, but getting girls is a BONUS.
That is called social media.
[–]vitamin-cheese 0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Mine is how I want it to be too, not posting anything , but then I don’t get the bonus
