Better luck with unplugged women

[ThisNThat]

I have noticed the last few women I dated, that I was able to successfully achieve getting a date online or even in real life. They all pretty much are "unplugged" in a sense. Possibly leading "luddite" lifestyles.

The last woman I dated was rarely on Facebook, would post something like an article she saw online once every couple of weeks and that's it. She said she purposely stays away from being online as much as possible...which is a good thing.

Another woman I dated , doesn't even have an internet connection at her house and of course, no Facebook. She does stay out of group photos though for fear of showing up on someone ELSE'S FB profile.

Another girlfriend I dated for a while, no internet connection at home, and only checked her FB at work and she was rarely even on it. The only time a picture of her would appear online would not be by her own upload, but by other friends tagging her.

I listed those examples, but it appears the best shots I had with getting dates with women were those who had nary an online presence.

One woman I know just uses a texting phone and thinks smart phones are frivolous and hasn't touched online dating. She's done most of her dating via organic means, by being fixed up, through social functions and social circles. She's even been approached at the gas pump. She was not lacking for dates in real life.

Do you see a pattern here? I think the lack of being "plugged in" actually made them less shallow in a sense. Yes?

Of course it makes them less shallow. It would be hard for any girl not to get a big head with the attention they get on Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, online dating etc.

They still have some narcissistic tendencies in them just not as much as the plugged in types.

I have noticed women that don't use social media much tend to be better...

Definitely agree with this, social media is something most can't resist. The ones who do show greater self discipline and less of a need for external validation. These are healthier individuals.

I see where your going with this but...

Two girls I dated within the last year who turned out to be funicorns. That's a fake unicorn a funicorn. Both are limited on social media to an extent. I think social media on the latter end of the spectrum is a red flag. But lil to no social media I think is a red flag too.

Another thing I've noticed, if you ask them what type of guy they are into or what they are looking for....they would say, "I don't really have a type" (That's bonus points with me as it won't take much to make this woman happy) or they list basic things that most human beings like like "good sense of humor, nice guy, treats me with respect,etc"

Typical garden variety answers means she's not overlypicky like her online dating counter parts.

My ex didn't even have a fb and was never on her phone period when we were spending time together,I will say that trait carried over from her abusive ex not letting her have those things but she was the highest quality woman I've been with as of yet, until she turned into a **** at the end. I hope to find another unplugged girl though that's like finding a unicorn these days....sooo much less drama.

My last date had a flip phone. Very nice and down to earth person.

Mine doesn't even know where the plug is. No social media, only smartphone. Her peers are all on social media but she has no interest. She virtually never watches TV, only an occasional news channel if at all. Virtually zero movies, too.

You've all heard me talk about her in other threads. I think the lack of social media and media in general is very telling.

I truly consider the media to be the most destructive force the world has ever seen. One could argue various weapons, but infection by the media is a disease that spreads worldwide and causes ever-proliferating and mutating mental and emotional disease that goes largely undetected. For most, the affected mind can't discern that which has subconsciously invaded and mutated it.

You do have a flare for the dramatic. lol

I mean to add...that the women that I met off-line or that were "unplugged' were more attractive than the ones I had contacted online. Sometimes I would experiment by messaging a chubby woman, would get views, but no responses....kind of tells ya something when heavy women reject you online, but the hot ones love ya in person. lol

Yes, a moderate use is best. The complete Luddite will tend to be a bit sour and cynical. I met such a girl in a bar the other night. An intelligent girl, and very critical of the world in general, but just seemed very wary [and weary] of everything, and a little depressed.
