NJ123 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Would you date someone that loves to post pictures & chat on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram & other things like it? Or would you not care at all about it?
DoesntGetIt Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 It would depend. I'm in my 30s so I don't know too many people that obsessed with social media, so it has never been an issue. If I was in my younger 20s, I feel I would just have to accept that as what people do now. 2
Lernaean_Hydra Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Depends on just how deep the social media obsession goes and what they do. There are lots of people who are avid users of different platforms who still know how to keep things in check. One of my best friends is twitter/instagram "famous"; he documents practically every second of his day and there's nothing he can't or won't post. It gets annoying as hell. Alternatively, before I got bored of it, for years I was 'twitter elite' and used to religiously tweet and had thousands of followers + used Favstar (a twitter aggregator that keeps track of how many of your tweets have been fav'd/RT'd) faithfully (what can I say, I liked knowing people thought I was funny ). However, I had my limits. I knew when to put it down and what not to post (no naked/sexy pics, extremely personal info, etc). Anyway, I guess my answer is maybe, but it totally depends on how "obsessed" they are and what they do while on there. But would I date someone who was so 'social media obsessed' they were basically compelled to discuss every aspect of their person lives/relationships, etc? Nope. 1
Hawaii51 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 In my 30's as well, and a good portion of my life is spent in one of the most remote places in the world. I couldn't waste much energy on someone giving to a phone how ever many hours a day. here and there, I get it, but everyone can see it spreading in the youth. And.. There's no such thing as ADD/ADHD- Sorry. 1
organizedchaos Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Would you date someone that loves to post pictures & chat on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram & other things like it? Or would you not care at all about it? Yes. I have and no big deal. I'm in my early 40s and use social media everyday. Ex used it all every day and so does current gf.
fitnessfan365 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Haha.. I read somewhere that you can tell how self involved someone is by how often they post on Facebook. Personally, I rarely use Facebook. I might make a comment here and there on posts in the newsfeed every few weeks. But I only post on my page when I have something worth saying. There are some people that post a million selfies a day and comment on pointless things like daily grooming habits, how much sleep they got, etc.. Also, I have never and will never use Tinder.

I post mainly photos. Otherwise mostly comment. And tinder doesn't really count in regards to this topic about dating someone who is obsessed with social media. But all things in moderation, of course. 1
acrosstheuniverse Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah no problem. I guess compared to some I may seem obsessed with social media... I don't tweet and don't even know my instagram login anymore, but I use facebook regularly (I check it multiple times per day on my phone and probably post once every day or two) to stay in touch with my friends, I won't have anyone on my list who I'm not actually friends with though, none of this random adding people for me!
Purepony Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah I couldn't handle that it would really bother me I would like to be with someone who has hobbies and goals not being a socia media famous l loser
d0nnivain Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I wouldn't date anybody who was obsessed with anything. By definition an obsession means that is all they do to the exclusion of all else. I don't care for shameless self promotion & am not a fan of having my picture taken or posted. I have unfriended on line & IRL people who can't respect that. Somebody who has an excessive social media habit isn't somebody I am going to be compatible with long term.
Hopeful30 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I wouldn't date anyone who had ANY obsession. That's not healthy lol (serious obsession, not hobbies or passions)
