Do you use social media and if so, how much?

[Roober]

Fake a$$ people posting fake a$$ $hit about their fake a$$ lives looking for validation from their fake a$$ friends... go fvcking educate yourself!

I used to never use social media...

Used a lot in 2016 and got reminded of why I dislike it so much... For example, my exwifes sister posts crap about her great family and loves her kids, blah blah blah... If you knew this woman in real life, you would think she has an alter ego. Also, alot of the political rhetoric was really irritating to me... attacking people for voting for Trump? It is their FVCKING American right, don't be so dillusional! I didn't vote for Trump, but don't have qualms with people that do...

2017.. I check FB like once a month, but don't post anything. Mostly just to check in on close friends and family that I don't get to see often. All other social media is useless, completely fvcking useless. The one caveat is using it for business purposes...


I love it when I get "did you see this on XXX?" "No. I was out hiking, dancing, meeting new people, experiencing life..."

The voting's pretty tight. The consensus seems to be that checking your social media constantly is not a good thing!

Hey guys,

I wanted to throw in a tip in this thread. Many plates screen us on all social media sites to get an idea of what our personality is like, SMV, social proof, values, hobbies, political views, previous ex picture, or current plates commenting, etc. in vetting us with whatever visibility that is allowed publicly (or searchable content allowed when the friend request is accepted) .

At the same time, you can use social media to your advantage and vet them back.

For example, I have a new plate that texts me often flirting and suggests stuff for us to do. I'm staying busy and will only accept 1 date/week in the early phase.

Now, one of the early red flags for me was seeing how many followers she had on Instagram (around 2,000), I've got probably like 50 because I keep my profile locked down to just friends and people I've met in real life. She posts a selfie almost daily which triggers my narcissism radar (mind you no pics of her with friends, hobbies, scenery, events, interesting objects, almost 90% just a close ups of her).

Additionally, on the photo I read frequent daily comments from e-friends/iFriends/real life orbiters that barrage her with "OMG!! You're so hot I can't wait to see you when I come down to ___ city. Miss you!!! Luv ya babe" If she has low self-esteem than you can bet she'll receive or send DM and be out on dates with these guys or allow them to travel to her for the f close.

I recognize my frame isn't being completely abundant here -- and that's intentional. For me, screening social media helps me next the cra cras easier. Too much drama, not worth it.

Been left Social media three years ago and never looked back. Have everyone's number I need already. Never was on it much when I had it. Too busy doing other shyt and living life to worry about what other people are doing. If it was that important I'd hear from them or vice versa.

Are you doing this to interest women, or because you have a kick a$$ life anyway?

The former is a very poor choice, the latter is acceptable.

As time goes by, the more I find social media ridiculous. Facebook, in particular, is becoming a cesspit of pseudo-political bile. I see people on social media literally posting every aspect of their lives online.

Ask yourself this, does social media help me achieve anything? Right now, LinkedIn is the only network with any benefit for me. My business is solely B2B therefore it is a good vehicle for marketing.



This is one of the reasons I no longer go on social media. Psuedo-intellectual garbage from douchebags. I'm putting my old high school crowd in the rear view mirror!

who the **** cares why I am doing this boy? I get laid from it so **** it!!
