Hey friends, Johnny here.
Today marks exactly one year since I started a little social media experiment.
I have one social media account with over 2,000 followers where I share my art, poetry, and other creative content.
I also have a much more private account with around 200 followers, made up almost entirely of people I know personally, where I share personal content.
Over the past year, I reached out to more than 100 women using both accounts.
The results were interesting.
From my public account with 2,000+ followers: around 80% replied. About 40% responded positively. Roughly 30% have continued to show genuine interest to this day.
From my private account with around 200 followers: about 50% replied. Around 20% responded positively. Only about 10% showed lasting, genuine interest.
What does this tell us?
At least in my experience, displaying some level of status, competence, or popularity changes how people perceive you.
We can't help that... It can be polarizing, some people become more attracted to you, while others simply aren't interested. It also seems to make some people feel slightly more intimidated when interacting with you.
I also noticed that many women approached the interaction differently. Instead of expecting me to chase them, they often positioned themselves more as followers or admirers from the beginning.
Like a fan following a celeb.
Modern life, but also in the past, is heavily influenced by social proof.
This is a thing that started centuries ago.
Many women, even genuinely kind and HQ women, want to see some evidence that you're respected, valued, or accomplishing something. Having a social media profile that's more developed than the average man's, especially one built around creative work like art and poetry, can create a sense of preselection.
This will make a person have options, or be perceived as He/She can have that.
Because of that, I've decided to close my second account. From now on, I'll post everything from my main profile, including my personal content like workouts, everyday photos, and BTS moments.
For the personal content, I'll use the "Close Friends" feature to keep more personal posts visible only to people I choose.
I wrote this post for those who believe social media doesn't matter.
Yes, social media will attract some people who aren't right for you.
But that is on you to filter them and keep as good "fans" of you..
But it also creates more opportunities to meet the right person, and to help to mantain that person interested in who you are, without using tactics since you're getting yet preselection, social proof, status halo.
In my opinion, a great woman still wants to see that you're a solid man with purpose, character, and ambition.
So, status and success aren't everything, but they often act as signals that people naturally respond to.
They put you on a "competent" "authoritative" role.
I think a well-built social media presence can help modern men communicate those qualities while they continue working on becoming stronger, for real, in those quality in their life.
Think about a Ferrari.
Part of its appeal comes from the status associated with the brand.
But that reputation exists because it's also an exceptional machine with incredible engineering.
Now think about a Fiat 500. It's practical, reliable, and perfectly suited for city driving, but it doesn't carry the same aura, even tho there is a solid engine inside.
As men, we should work on both the product and the marketing.
Become the kind of man worth noticing, and don't be afraid to present yourself well.
I just look at the example of someone like Mike Thruston.
He could not have a social media, and still get women.
And women can see he is preselected, havehalo, just without being popular.
But that populariy adds competence, status, aura, to him.
So any men should find his niche and publish at least 1 photo every year of what he accomplished in his life.
This is important.
What are your thoughts? Have you ever run any similar experiments?
