id say don't do it, it adds a sense of "mystery". or if you do, literally pay for followers (theyre cheap), make your account private, follow maybe like 100 of the suggested ones and post useless stuff. if you have a high post count and high follower count but a low following count girls see that as you being a high value man (fuck if i know why) so it might help you then

but unless you follow that route i'd say no, the only reason i have one is for car and watch pages and occasionally posting a pic with my boys
I don't like drawing attention to myself. I'd prob post the occasional pic with the boys and a vacation/car show shot here and there.

At the end of the day IG is just a tool. Most people misuse this tool and become completely absorbed with it. You don't have to be like one of them. It's easier said than done, but that's the truth.

I feel similarly. It's one thing to post occasionally, but when it turns into constant self promotion its a big turn off.

Oh. But what if that self-promotion means free car parts? Is that an exception?

IG launched when I was in college but I never made the switch to it, reason being because I hate what IG "represents." Attention seeking, shallow/vapid behavior, needless self promotion, etc. but I've reached a point where I feel like its hurting me more by not having it!
dont do it, shit is stupid. i dont have an IG and i never will.

i love when i match with a girl on tinder or bumble and when the conversation progresses and they ask for my instagram and they get all weirded out when i tell them i dont have one. it makes it easy to weed out the shitty people who prioritize creating an image over sharing real experiences.
General rule of thumb, always good to see a girls Instagram because that's the image they try to portray of themselves. If they're trying to be "trendy", every other picture is with their arms wrapped around another guy, and they have a huge following/ post ass/bikini pics can usually tell if they're a whore or a housewife

My question: Had you stopped to look around to men in person around you? If you met one and have any background because not checkable via social network...would you refuse a meet/date?

This was a serious question. You as a person who shared youtube and IGs met a person who dont care about both and done neither of it. Would this affect your interest?

She's into you man. It's very obvious. Where you messed up here is asking her if she needed something when she texted you. The reasoning behind her response of "Sorry, goodnight" is that her feelings were hurt in the crass response of asking if she needed something. A simple "yes" would have yielded a much different reply from her.

Women don't go grocery shopping with someone who is just a friend. I have several female friends that I am close with. I have never gone grocery shopping with any of them. If a woman takes the time to put on make up and perfume to be around you, this is a clear indication that their appearance to you matters. If she insisted that you come see her after said party because she made food, this means that she made the food for you as an means of getting you to be there.

My man, you need to be proactive here. Stroke her ego. Let her know how you feel. Try a simple text message of "Just thinking of you" randomly; you'd be amazed at how simple gestures work to your benefit. I can't help but feel that you are letting something, most only fantasize about, slip through your fingers due to not knowing how to handle the situation.

I can honestly picture her in my mind talking about you to her friends having the discussion of what else can she do to get you to notice her. I get messages from women complaining about the men that they are interested in not paying attention or acting as if they are not interested quite a bit. She's going out of her way here, pay attention and act accordingly....that is if this is what you want.

If this is something that you truly want to explore with her and make the genuine effort with but need help with how to handle it, by all means ask for advice. I'll be happy to point you in the right direction. Post here or feel free to PM me.

I'm pretty sure I'm much older, and in a mono relationship of 20+ years, but even *I* know the correct answer to this one: "No, I can't sleep, thinking of you"

I just had a flashback to when I was a naive high school kid and this girl I had just started dating told me “I want you”... huh? Was my clueless reply. What do you mean? “I want you to make love to me”? Huh? This wasn’t the language my buddies and I had ever used or heard of, our sexual experience being limited to looking at little f*** books. Anyway, this phone call story reminded me of that.
