Do I need social media to get good with women.

[UpperMaster]

Hey guys. Pretty much a yes or no.

Haven't been using instagram for months now. I go out the other day, and ask a girl for phone number, she gave me her instagram but it was of no use.

I downloaded instagram again. Hate it. Zaps away your attention like crazy. And I couldn't care less about other peoples lives. I loved the fact that people couldn't send me reels that I was obligated to watch. 

Also it's so fucking stupid how people spend their whole day curating their page. I hate the fact then when I posted stories I would care who saw it. This app is so stupid. 

But if its neccecary in this day and age for dating then Im not sure.

Is it worth keeping it? As in, is it needed for results?

@UpperMaster Just put up some blocker app, the way I use Instagram is that I have an app called "Stay Focused" on my android phone, and I have the following settings set to Instagram: only allow me to use 10 minutes at a time, 30 minutes in total daily. 

That will restrict you to not spend too much time like crazy. 

If you start messaging a girl on the app, you can deactivate those settings later, but if you want to avoid doom-scrolling and wasting time, and still want to have app to follow girls, you can do what I do.

@bazera I'll look into it. I am on Iphone.

Do you think that instagram has helped you actually get women? Or is it completely secondary and doesn't matter at all. 

Because if its secondary I much rather just not have it all.

Thanks for the reply bro

My instagram is pretty crappy. I just use it to keep in touch with some travel friends and see what they're up to or if we're nearby.

It probably does help to have a decent instagram page setup with some good photos, it's like advertising your life to a girl in a similar way to a Tinder/Hinge profile. Having said that, I've gotten by without one. I mostly add girls on WhatsApp which is ubiquitous in the UK and Europe.

@UpperMaster I haven't dated much through social media, and I don't have Insta page set up but I know friends who had dates after chatting up girls on Instagram. 

I think it's not a primary, but something to have just because why not. Also, depends on girl, my last girlfriend didn't use Instagram that much, other then scrolling for some cute memes. 

You just have to try and see. Try couple months with (restricted access to not waste time) and then without it and you'll know. 

If you incline towards not having one, I'm sure you'll still have success with girls, I don't see a reason why you won't. Of couse if all the other things are in place from your side like socialization, talking to girls, etc.

Short: no. 

Don't have social media and I have great results with women in real life. Mostly bars, but also every other kind of events, clubs, parties etc. , even in subway, train etc. 

I have a dating app and had quite a few dates through it, but recently nothing happened there it was all IRL. 

("great results" = not comparing it to anyone, not saying it's a huge number, I am simply content with how many women I get to know and get involved with)

If your social media presence is good and conveys the right qualities, yes.

Otherwise you’re better off not having one at all.

Thanks for the responses. I decided to not have it for now. 

I am sure there is a strategy to game girls using social media, Il just try optimizing everything else, as I really dislike using instagram etc. 

Your responses have helped. Appreciate it. I just wanted to make sure it was a "Must Have"
