When it comes to dating, is it a red flag if someone uses social media? Why or why not?

[HawkPerception]

Yes

No

[Lionman95]

No using social media is no red flag to me mainly because most people use social media and it has become a social standard to stay in touch with friends and family. The question is rather what do they post and who do they follow. As those are markers to me whether we match and share values.

[MicahRaine]

Not unless they’re chronically scrolling, posting thirst traps, or emotionally tied to how much “engagement” they’re getting.

[Summeroflove]

No. It is however a red flag how they use it. If they’re on there for validation. If their entire world revolves around being online and they never touch grass. Yeah… okay that’s weird.

If they are scrolling social media instead of spending time with you. Going through other peoples pages. Doing all that stuff. Yeah

[OlderAndWiser]

Occasional use is not a red flag. If she posts her order at every restaurant we visit. . . she needs to find someone else because it's not me!

[RavVid]

Yeah maybe. GaG is social media and so is Youtube, Whatsapp so the term is ubiquitous really.

What would concern me is if a girl follows influencers and I will sucker her in to telling me all about it.

Why I would is female envy and disposition to follow fashions. There is a likelihood of a carefully curated life will create avarice and we don't need them to have more avarice than what they are born with.

Very telling that every female fraudster spends a lot on designer bags and other luxury fripperies.

Honestly I hate the over and mis use of “red flags “ more than I ever could any social media but for the sake of the question.


I honestly could not care less about what a partners use of social media unless it’s to the detriment of , or has a negative impact on our relationship.


I. e the flag isn’t social media , it’s the use of it

[Crankor]

Nah but if they are always on their phone and posting every detail of their lives then yes that is a red flag

[Zionne]

Ofc not, social media wouldn't be a hindrance to your relationship if used properly.

[queenofcardio]

Doesn't bother me unless I'm given a reason

[whiskeyontherocks]

Over us maybe but just in general not at all

[Jennz6]

I’m not sure 🤔
