I know this is likely fake, but I have gotten that reaction from people. Folks really find it strange when you don't have social media. The times it really sucks is when they think you're lying and just don't want to add them.

    Yep and somehow, they want you to "prove" you don't have one.

    It's about safety for me. Going on a date with someone is such a gamble. If they have zero social media presence, that's outside of what's normal. Anything outside of normal social expectations is a safety red flag to me, because you immediately become less predictable to me. I don't want to be alone with someone I don't really know who is unpredictable. I'm just trying not to get murdered.

    Yeah I guess well socially adjusted people never turn out to be murderers, rapists or abusers of any kind /s

    I actually don't mind being a weirdo who doesn't get dates, but I don't understand why people keep falling for this hyper specific personality archetype that's got making girls swoon over them down to a science.

    100% I have interests that probably don't align with yours, but at least I'm not lying to you until you're on the hook then calling you a bitch about it 🤷

    No one has ever lied to me to get me on the hook and then called me anything about it. I don't know who the people are who fall for this, but it's not an issue in my circles.

    Most of my exes have been weirdos, and I am a bit of a weirdo. It's still a red flag to have absolutely no social media presence, and it means I can't send links to your pages with screen shots of you to my sister before our date in case I get murdered.
