This is not for me personally because I am too old for this. However, I was curious should young guys 18-21 be asking for social media accounts rather than phone numbers?

It appears these could serve multifaceted purposes in communication with the girl and valuable info on her Katfax report as well as deciding on whether you want to waste time with her or not in general. It can also help you prove your social validation further.

Also I think women are more active on social media due to the nature of wanting attention than in texting.

Thoughts on this? I mean you could always get the number later if things go from acquaintance to FWB etc. But should the first priority be getting her social profile instead of phone number at first?
