Not having social media is extremely attractive to me. A girl I fancied instantly boosted my interest level when she told me she does not use social media. That's my opinion; read on if you want my personal reasoning.
Social media has so many purposes. Promotion of business, hobbies, comnection with family, etc. But when it comes to dating, finding a girl who abstains from social media is like finding a diamond.
My last long term relationship was with a girl who had a heavy social media presence. It made sense to me as she was a photographer. How smart! Great platform to promote your material.
We would have dinner, or lay in bed, or be out in general. I would be talking with her talking and she would keep looking down at the phone. "Uh-huh". Back to the phone. That is the real turn off. Not every user is like that, but a heavy presence just indicates possible self-absorption. I stayed in that LTR too long and it built resentment.
I am now dating the girl with no social media. No idea of her past experiences, past men, family, friends, interests, thoughts on issues. We see eachother once a week. We talk, learn, and connect strongly because I have no preconceived notion of her based off a perception of her past social media posts. Call us old-fashioned, I guess. I find great pleasure in knowing that nobody can find out stuff about her unless she invites them into her life by in-person interactions. That is how you build a foundation. This may just be because my taste in women. But I feel social media affects dating and relationships negatively more than positively.

Yea of course, it would be cool if you had Skype since thats the only thing i really use, but if you don't oh well.
i think guys probably would prefer that over the girls who are social media obsessed and updating the world with everything they do every 10 minutes honestly. good for you girl!
Of course I would. It's not a a big deal or a turn off. It shows that they spend their time doing other things and they actually have a life lol.
Social media use doesn't really play a big factor in determining whether a dude is date-able or not.

Of course I would, I'm not a big fan of it either. I would probably prefer a girl not have social media to not have the set of responsibilities that come along with it.
Its cool... you can always get to know each other better during a karaoke outing... hehe

Its actually kind of refreshing.If she doesn't have social media..
Well put it this way "that's wifey right there!"I find it annoying when a girl is always using social media so would find it a big plus.
No I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as she doesn't have a issue with me having one.
I don't have any social media either. I would prefer a guy who doesn't but ultimately I don't care.
I don't mind a girl using social media as long as she isn't on her phone like 24/7 and shit. But yes I would date a girl who doesn't use social media.
