Guy I went on a date with had no social media footprint, no FB, no Twitter, no IG, no Snap, not even a Reddit.
My friend thinks that is a red flag. I'm curious what people think, do you agree?

@jace Most people I know are either a) not on social media or 2) on social media but stopped posting on it. They are all sane as far as I know, allegedly.

@jace how times have changed…
(I would say it’s a green flag!)

@jace depends on the reasons for no social media, but likely not a red flag

@jace I mean, its either a red flag or an indicator that he’s healthier and happier than any of us. Could go either way

joshfreedman,

@jace not a red flag at all IMO (maybe biased because i don’t use social media much). if anything, it’s probably a good conversation starter

@jace I dont think so. If he has no email then I would be worried.

@jace it could be a red flag for some.

@jace I know a lot of gay men without a social footprint OR if they have one it's super tiny. One of my good friends has an Instagram with a ghost picture just to check things out. But doesn't post a damn thing.

deltatux,

@jace been on dates with girls who had social media and those without. Not sure why it's considered a red flag if they don't use social media. Thinking that it's a requirement is probably a commentary of our modern society in that there's the expectation to advertise ourselves online constantly...

@deltatux @jace Not a red flag, but I appreciate what people post to Social Media because it helps give us a sense of what they're like. Just makes me feel like I know less going in.

Stuff they post to Social Media can be red flag, though.

deltatux,

@kevinlovestech @jace I get that and I appreciate those who do have it but for it to be a requirement and a lack of social media presence being a red flag is an interesting position.

esoltys,

@jace I voted Red Flag, because I was thinking this was a stranger, but if this was someone I knew or a friend of a friend then it wouldn't bother me. The nicest guy I know has no social presence because he's fully involved offline.

@jace Wow, either super sketch or galaxy brain for just not engaging in the whole thing. Alternate... Never figured out email verification process. :D

@jace Could be any colour, really.

splitletters,

@jace literally nothing is kinda weird, "I have an insta/fb/whatever but I never use it" is fine, but straight up 0 accounts? in the year of our lord 2023? Smells......off

nickspacek,

@jace Hmm, they didn't have any under their real name that you could find, or they actually declared that they don't have any? Like others have said, some folks just go under deep cover. :)

@nickspacek Haha, I mentioned Mastodon so our convo turned to social media and he said he had nothing. 🤷‍♂️

    @jace My kids are working as an English teacher and MSW. They are not on any social media as posters, but scroll Reddit. Their privacy and safety demand it.
