Is It A Red Flag To Have ZERO Social Media Presence?

She met a guy at a party and hit it off, but nobody who was there knows who he was! And he has ZERO social media. Is this #ShadyOrNot?

Apart from this Google account I have 0 social media. Social media is poison for the mind.

[@extrememakeoverfan]

I think it means they’re living their life in the real world 👍

[@DMSProduktions]

EXACTLY!

[@forrealtho4062]

Or they are hiding something 👀 very rare but it happens

[@forrealtho4062]

I know ppl are going to ask, was talking to a guy whom I respected didn’t have one, turns out he was banned by the court because he was a “ex” child predator

[@DMSProduktions]

@@forrealtho4062 Possible, but like you said, unlikely.

[@DMSProduktions]

@@forrealtho4062 OUCH!

[@trippy6183]

I don’t have social media & I would love to date someone with no social media.

[@taridean]

Same here.

[@samiyi4896]

*Date Me lool*

[@DMSProduktions]

I don't! (But I don't do white girls & I am not in the US!)

[@AtabileBreakfast]

i don't have any social media too, word my nigga

[@Wonderland1865]

If someone really thinks that having no social media in general is a red flag, their just being PETTY!

[@G20T]

They’ll think it’s a red flag because they won’t figure you out just looking at followers and pictures🤣

[@EMail-mt1kr]

Exactly, its pathetic. ​@@G20T

[@DMSProduktions]

AND LAZY!

[@tiasaenger4610]

I dumped social media because it was a huge time suck and felt like I was in an audience for crazy people. People are arguing about stupid stuff and sound like they are off their rocker. Why would I subscribe to that?

[@forrealtho4062]

I have perfectly tailored my algorithms and still I get stupid crap on my phone sometimes its hard to escape

[@empressbeaded]

Have a social media presence so people, websites, weirdos etc. can scour the internet, gather your info, find you, the family, the job etc. Consequences don't cross people minds regarding putting their personal info on display

[@rampageclover9788]

The fact that this is even a serious question....

[@DMSProduktions]

Oh you'd be surprised! SOME people don't know HOW to function WITHOUT it, & CAN'T understand how others CAN!

[@forrealtho4062]

Its is I think it needs to be talked about, I almost dated a guy that told me he did not have one and it turns out it was because he was banned for being a child predator and even did jail time for it.

[@dochamp2]

I have zero social media, better things to do with my time.

[@Dusty-h6m]

Like watching stupid crap on youtube and leaving egotistical comments?

[@deputydipshit_]

isn’t youtube social media?

[@RAJAT6555]

Cheers buddy.

[@BeanerMoney]

@117 yes, gonna cry?

[@yearginclarke]

@@deputydipshit_ Not really the same type of thing at all if you're just a viewer, and not someone who makes videos and interacts with their audience.

[@melissaknott4440]

My husband has no social media at all, he’s perfectly normal

[@gregharn1]

No, it's a huge green flag.

[@trippy6183]

💯

[@forrealtho4062]

Sometime it is, I have known many abusers to have no social media and specifically target their victims who have none as well because it makes it easier to control them. They have also either been exposed or afraid of being exposed online for the proof some people have on them or they have a very empty one and extremely private one because they use it to stalk, harass and cheat, To me it is only if I find they have one after they said they did not.

[@Sammy_Francis]

This is true. I’ve been involved with 2 very abusive people - they had criminal histories and were chronic cheaters with a lot to hide. They avoided being exposed by avoiding social media.

[@forrealtho4062]

@@Sammy_Francis Yes, this abuser I knew made it seem like it was his choice he did not have one, but it was not, he was court ordered to absolve them in order to be considered “reformed” because he was using them to communicate with minors.

[@betaylor5031]

Have a stalker. Do not want to put myself, friends, family, associates in harms way. Limit social media because of this terrifying ongoing situation.

[@hardno123]

a stalker you say

[@camronwilliams]

A lot of social media is newly invented. I used to like it but I'm done with it

[@maenad1231]

I’m a participant in my own life not a viewer in it. My husband always has loved that I’ve never had a social media presence 🥰

[@DMSProduktions]

You're a KEEPER then!

[@RoseNZieg]

i minimize my online footprint. if that triggers someone from getting to know me in person, that's on them. they have to realize that they can talk to people who know me if they want to verify who i am.

[@Priinsu]

I decided to delete my Facebook two months ago. I'm trying to look for a good house share because I'm going to be living in San Diego for nine months for school/work. But, they keep asking for a social media page.😑 It's so super frustrating because it could mean the difference between saving an extra $1800/month. So, lame man.

[@DMSProduktions]

WHY do they do that? to VET you by any chance?

[@DieselTechie-uo9we]

Just do a criminal record search on them & inquiry the friend how they know them. It seems weird that the guy was social at the party with the host had no idea who they were talking about.

[@Whatever8197V]

Good on him...drifter 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but keep on your guard ...

[@Sammy_Francis]

Sometimes it’s a bad thing because they have something to hide (like multiple partners and secret lives or a criminal history) …

[@DMSProduktions]

GOOD, common sense conversation! WELL done!

[@jeremiahlarkins618]

Absolutely, leave me alone. I thought I made it clear when I had no social media.

[@michaeljeanbaptiste2587]

Sketchy. No one knows him. He wanted to meet her but she made the first move? Scary.

[@Dani.J.]

I only have fb and I only keep it because I have a few friends / fam that I only talk to on fb messenger. I wouldn't find this a red/green flag either way tbh. Although my fb has one decade old picture on it, I never post and I HATE selfies/being tagged in pics ..The prospect of being with someone who I could confidently know wasn't posting random pics of us online would be kind of nice. My ex was the same way (no social media, just discord to talk to friends) ..Turns out that was his only redeeming quality.

[@n.c.4829]

Not having social media is fine. But no one knowing who he is and him hanging out in the corner is a little creepy. It'a giving me Sebastian Stan vibes from that one movie where he was a cannibal.

[@imprisonedone8054]

? My friends have social media all they have is a picture on instagram nothing else? People can just lie about their personality, this genz is dumb asf like u.

[@DMSProduktions]

Oh build a bridge! I've been in that situation numerous times when I was younger!

[@mhill88ify]

I'm getting "judgmental asshole vibes" from your comment...

[@idahamidah2211]

Yes, there is small red flag here. You should be careful with that guy. If he's good at conversation yet being alone at a party, that sounds kinda weird.

[@Starchild42]

My mom doesn't have any social media

[@pooh4025]

If this guy is a Virgo then this would not be odd .

[@52frj]

I deleted everything several years ago,I have nothing, nada. Toxic platforms with toxic people in them I don't feel a need to see what you ate for lunch today. The people I know have my email and phone number for texting.

[@kevinfernandes1882]

No social media here haven’t been on since 2015 high school twitter an Facebook all accounts terminated since 2018
