I already gave up most social media a long time ago, the only ones I use now is G@G and YouTube, and I limit my time on them. So I would (except YouTube), but if she wants me to give it up she has to too.
I can understand that. But I also understand the perspective that virtually if not absolutely everyone who has social media, also have online connections with multiple people nearby, or that they know or once knew, that they would be most likely to date. The internet provides those connections to those peopple, that often enough you wouldn't normally have. It's almost no different than a dating app in some ways.
The key is to acknowledge the awful things you are personally capable of even if it's uncomfortable, try to understand where your partner is coming from, and never stop supporting deep communication with your partner.
It's only social media. Who cares. There are other ways to keep in contact with friends. The phone, or letters.

I have never done social media and never will. Its a killer if time, happiness and privacy. So nothing for me to give up. And I don't have a lot of respect for someone who spends a ton of time on social media.
@brkninpcs70 i treat this as a question and answer website much like quora and yahoo answers and body building forums. According to Wikipedia GAG is not social media but i do remember it used to be on the list of social media on there - presumably by mistake. Then it got removed from the list
I guess. I mean, if I had a relationship then I probably wouldn't be so bored and have so much time on my hands. So I could actually do real things instead of being on social media.
Probably not. I love insta, need to look at memes to make me laugh and look at positive motivational quotes to keep me going plus keep in contact with all my friends and family. I also love snapchat for its funny filters and need whatsapp to keep in touch with all my family members and friends far away
Yes and I did. I dind't like it, but it's better without it. Social media is terrible drug...

No? That's controlling regardless of the reason. I'll quit social media if I want to and that's it. Also that study is ridiculous. If you spend so much time on your phone that your relationship falls apart because you can't put it away for 1 second and communicate with your partner then you must have some kind of brain damage or something.
@On_cloud_wine I do in a way, I work for the white ethnostate. It will be a government. That's not why I keep my personal info off the net though. That's just common sense.
@On_cloud_wine Because anyone who puts their information on the internet puts themselves at risk. Granted in my case there is an army of communists that would like to shut people like me up. But it's prudent for anyone, there are hackers, ID thieves and other crooks that would love your personal information.
No, I wouldn't. My usage of social media usage isn't really something my partner should ever be worried about, and if they are, their personal issues is what we would have to work on instead.
Ok that's not always true. There is plenty married or committed people using social media to flirt or cheat with others,. There's also people communicating more on social media sites then then with their partners. Or discussing things with " strangers " that they should be discussing with their partner, which will eventually break that relationship
Yes, but I don't do those things, and if my partner ever suspects that I do, the issue to work on is their lack of trust and insecurities. And that's something they have to work on internally, me changing my behavior in order to conform to their personal issues is not a healthy way to solve that issue.

I would! Of course! A Girl would BE my Social Media! She'd be my intake of everything I'd need to know!
That's great ❣
That depends on how big her breasts are. I wouldn't give up my hobbies for a girl with small boobs.
Lol 😂that's funny

I wouldn't really need social media if I had a partner. So if need be, yes.
Iit's not always social media is the problem. Iit's how some people choose to use it and how often that can create a problem in my opinion
I can understand that. But I also understand the perspective that virtually if not absolutely everyone who has social media, also have online connections with multiple people nearby, or that they know or once knew, that they would be most likely to date.

The key is to acknowledge the awful things you are personally capable of even if it's uncomfortable, try to understand where your partner is coming from, and never stop supporting deep communication with your partner.
in my opinion.
Oh we're in total agreement. O didn't
Sorry accidentally hit submit. Was trying to say me and hubby weren't even on any social media when he was alive
Oh I see, and I'm sorry to hear about your husband
Thanks it's been a while now, but thanks

killer *of time...
Hear, hear. I'm with you. I never had social media either. Never will
I hate telling all of y'all this but this application you're using currently is a form of social media...
@brkninpcs70 Only in the loosest sense, and certainly not in the sense intended in this question.

You know what I'd think about it once I have a s/o.
As of right now I ain't giving up nothing. Especially since I'm already barely active on social media.
I guess. I mean, if I had a relationship then I probably wouldn't be so bored and have so much time on my hands. So I could actually do real things instead of being on social media.
This sounds to me like the most romantic thing of all
Awwww

Yeah sure. I quit FB in Highschool. This is the only other thing I use lol
I've never even had Facebook lol

Citation needed on that study. I'd do so if they gave me a good reason relevant to our own relationship.
My only social media use is for my business, and I don't even use that nearly enough.
No problem there, I'm not on social media. I have no profiles anywhere on line with my real name or any personal information.
Because you work for the government?
@On_cloud_wine I do in a way, I work for the white ethnostate. It will be a government. That's not why I keep my personal info off the net though. That's just common sense.
Because you’re a threat to some?

Sounds like you need to team up with a hacker
@On_cloud_wine Ya maybe.
I was willing to for my last girlfriend. Not again.
I don't use social media anyway except for facebook and even that I'm rarely on.
Sure, if she also gave it up. I could last longer than she could, so, about 3-4 hours should do it!
No, I wouldn't.
