No.. I would see it as him leaving me because I am on social media. He cannot be that into me if that is his choice..
No. I am a fashion designer by trade and I buy a lot of clothing for inspiration from sellers on Instagram and Facebook. I don’t talk with a lot of people on social media, and if even let my partner log into my FB/Insta if he’d like.
I would not. It sounds like this person wants to control you. To me it's a red flag.
Also DANGEROUS. Cutting a person off from others is a well documented tactic of abusers.
i would encourage any girl to delete her social media, it makes people stupid and dramatic. got rid of mine years ago
but i don't think i would require her to do so... but maybe if it became a problem
I don’t think social media makes people stupid. It reveals people who are already stupid. You get to choose how you use social media. You can pretty much curate all the content you see, with a few exceptions on ads and promotions.
no there's quite a body of research on the subject, it MAKES you stupid. it damages your ability to think critically, to hear alternate arguments, it creates echo chambers and rewards extremist thinking
i am a counter terrorism specialist and I'm well trained in watching people go down the rabbit hole to radicalization and it is made so much more common nowadays. I don't think democracy can survive social media
Interesting. Where can I find this research?
here is a non exhaustive list but enough to see if you're interested
Social media use is comparable to drugs and excessive use of it does damage your critical thinking skills and decision making abilities www.addictioncenter.com/.../
Social media makes us angrier and radicalizes us www.psychologytoday.com/.../why-social-media-makes-us-angrier-and-more-extreme
Time spent on social media directly correlates with increased violent tendencies in life www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4117279/
There is something called the media contagion effect that causes people to copy the crimes they see in media.
in the 1980s the media contagion effect was causing teenagers to commit suicide in record numbers because they wanted attention and saw all the other teen victims on TV and said "i want to be remembered like that" www.ensani.ir/.../...8%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%86.pdf It also plays a large part in mass shootings which is why we avoid saying the name or showing the face of the shooter nowadays.
as media is shared more regularly the media contagion effect becomes more of a problem. People emulate the violent things they see on social media to get the same attention.
No chance. I'm not a cuck willing to roll over like that. If she wants me, she accepts that I might have social media. I delete it when I want to.
Unless I was addicted to it (like I was on it literally all the time) and they were trying to help me out I wouldn't.
I barely use social media but I'd take that sort of demand as a red flag of possible controlling behavior.
yeah, I'm 17 and I tried to don't get attached to any kind of social media. so it will probably be easy to sacrifice it for a good relationship
Don't. This is a red flag. First sign of an abusive/controlling personality. It starts with social media. Then it goes to cutting out friends. Then family. Then comes the financial abuse. Then mental. Then emotional. And eventually physical abuse. Take it from a survivor.
I don't see why not. I don't get on them often enough to care. Long I can keep snapchat and facebook messenger to chat with friends.
Nope. I have a FB page to help connect to my diverse family and friends. Wouldn’t expect anyone to want me to delete it.
I would break it off with her. Not because I don't have social media and therefore nothing to comply with but because of ultimatums in the first place.
Nope. An ex had me do that despite knowing she was about to break up with me,
Wouldn't surprise me if your ex is a narcissist. She wants to hop to another cock without problems, but doesn't want you to move on with your life and find someone else through social media
@TruthBringer: You’re almost certainly right.
And she did monitor other social media to see if I had a new girlfriend. I found out from someone that she did this.
No and my partner wouldn't ask me to. I wouldn't date anyone who would try to control me like that
No, that's a major red flag for me of a controlling partner, and if they even suggested it I'd tell them straight away that I don't want to see them again, no matter how hot they were or how much I had been into them.
Nope. I don’t use social media a lot to begin with. If he’s telling me to delete it, I would just feel he’s too insecure to handle a relationship.
I would not. Since many of my shipmates are still in the Navy and overseas, Facebook is the only way I have to keep in touch with them.
Does one want to live in the real world or the fake online world.
I would delete it mam, but I won't be fully happy in the relationship then because I will always feel she didn't trusted me enough.
This here gag is the closest I come to a social media account so that would be pretty easy
No. I don't see the point in doing that and my social media are important to keep contact with friends all over the world.
To me that would be a warning to steer clear. They’re obviously not very flexible and compromising so I couldn’t see a positive relationship with them. Friends maybe if all else is good (that’s questionable), but yeah, count me out.
No, I wouldn't.
Because I know social media isn't a problem for me, that's a compromise that I don't need to make.
Other than Facebook, which I use to keep in touch with family and at times coworkers, I don't do much social media. However, that is a somewhat controlling tactic and a huge red flag for me.
Sure, as long as they delete theirs as well. Plus, I dont have social media stuff like Facebook or Instagram, or snapchat thing. Waste of time. Better things to do in this world
No. Someone who really like you won't ask you to change, especially on something that has no importance.
Also, that a big red flag, it's the first step to isolate you from the world, sign of a toxic relationship.
I don't use social media so there's nothing to delete.
Except for this app lol
Well I only socialize with a single person on here and they're really the only reason why I'm still on here.
No. I have friends that I can only contact through social media. Deleting my social media would mean cutting ties with many of my friends.
I don’t let people dictate what I can and can’t do.
Also to me, that’s a red flag.
Control.
social media makes people stupid and dramatic, it upvotes the most sensational news so you see the worst of the world without really knowing what's going on making you a very negative person. its also highly addictive.
life is better when you're off of it its not about control its about making you a more pleasant person, more informed and happier overall
Nope. People like that seen controlling and like they have trust issues.

@007kingifrit Social media is whatever you use it for. Some people use it to stay updated in current events. Some people just like memes. Some people promote their businesses or art. Some people just like staying updated on what their friends and family are doing. It can be very addictive and it can be harmful, but it can also be a source of entertainment and an environment to socialize especially now during this pandemic where we can’t meet up in person as often as we’d like. I’m not big on social media, I mostly just use it to look at memes, but if my boyfriend asked me to deactivate my accounts I’d say no and I’d be weirded out.
no its not what you use it for, it is designed to seep into your life in other places, its algorithms are manipulative and mislead you at every turn.
@007kingifrit Social media does have algorithms in place to make it more appealing and addictive, but I think it’s up to the individual to decide when to put the phone down or deactivate their accounts.
similar arguments were made over a 100 years ago when society was deciding if we should outlaw heroine or not, humans only have so much self control. they are only animals
@007kingifrit even if given the choice to do heroine I would not choose to do heroine
right because you were raised in an environment knowing it is like THE WORST. but if you had been born in 1880 and you saw ads like "try our new children's cough syrup, made with real heroine!" (i didn'tm ake that up) you wouldn't know it is that bad
it takes society a few generations to learn how bad new things are, in 2100 people will look at use of social media the same as those heroine uses
@007kingifrit People are already aware that social media can be harmful. Just like watching too much TV can be harmful. Eating too much sugar can be harmful. But I trust my partner to make responsible decisions for themselves. I wouldn’t date someone who would do heroine or someone who is obsessed with social media.
people can only be expected to make good decisions if they are informed, and if they don't know just how dangerous social media is they aren't informed. yea people have an idea that you "can" go overboard with it, but the fact that you still see it as in the same category as sugar and not heroine. Its very bad for you, and the world.
@007kingifrit we all know that social media should be used in moderation and that most of it is an illusion. Anyone who doesn’t know that by now is living under a rock. Most stuff on social media has been staged, posed, made up, filtered, and photoshopped to perfection. It’s good to inform people, but you have to let people make their own decisions. I can’t force people to not do heroine, the same way I can’t force people not to stare at their phone 24/7. I just choose to date people who make healthy choices
id call BS on that. every girl is active on social media and has a FB page at the least. you are using it right now without realising it...
I wouldn't. Even though I don't have FB any longer and never had Instagram, the idea of someone else dictating stuff like this to me reeks of "control freak."
No, I wouldn't. Unfortunetly, social media became quite intertwined into our daily life. However, I would expect her not to use it when it is "our" time to be together.
I never imagined this would be a serious question :D Social media can go to hell any day of the week.
Honestly No,
Why, because it was friends and family asking for me on Facebook, so I created a FB page & there were games online I wanted to play
No, I'm connected through Social Media too many charities I support if a girlfriend cannot cope with that, well there's more fish in the sea!
Today it will social media accounts, tomorrow something else.
Relations can't be build on conditions.
I don't have any except for youtube and gag.
Lol if she wants we can delete the app and then download again lol😆
I mean most social media is trash, I deleted facebook yearrrs ago, so I'd be pretty game for this so long as they did it too.
No thats just stupid and spurred by jealousy. I can't be with someone that would force that kind of change.
No, i don't use it that much, and i also doesn't post my whole life on there, don't want any followers either.
I also wouldn't ask my partner to delete.
Social media is a sinful place even at the best of times. I try to stay away from it as much as is possible and would gladly stay away permanently for a partner.
I use social media mostly to talk to my family abroad. I’m not deleting that for anyone
At the start I was thinking yes, because I don't really care about social media anyway, but after thinking more about it I came to another conclusion. This seems like a red flag, as in the partner may be a controlling person, so my answer is no.
My quick response would be no... sounds like the beginning of someone that's very controlling. However, I would want to know why that demand is so important.
Afterwards, I might share that I already did... for me.
Yes. And no. It depends is it a means of controlling u or a boundary they want because your not respecting your relationship on social media? Because that's the core issue. Sounds like there Is no trust between you.
Stop seeing the person. If the little I post bothers them, I don't want them.
I would cooperate, part of the reason I use social media is to talk to girls lol. Girls can’t read this and think I’m some “player”, with Covid restrictions people can’t do much. I would ask her if it’s okay to keep Twitter for the news.
Nah I would not do this for anyone except me.
I fucking hate social media, but I do not accept to be told what to do like a condition.
If she would tell me delete your Facebook or we break up i would dump her.
Nope. Partner or not, people can't tell you what to do. That's controlling.
No, I wouldn't. You're supposed to have your own life besides your wife. It's not healthy to be fully reliant on one person for your social activity.
Since my social media consists of GaG, wouldn't be a problem.
You’re supposed to change your life for someone you just started dating? No
Yes, i would. She would be more important to me than anyone else UNLESS it is something i use for business, then no.
It’s just social media, but I’d have to say no. It’s so dumb. Why would they want you to delete it anyway?

life is better when you're off of it
@007kingifrit yea but it not date someone because YOU don’t like it. That sounds controlling. No thank you. There are coffrer fish in the sea.
Other** lol
No I would change my name to maspolomas and go incognito
I wouldn't delete it. My girlfriend doesn't have social media so I don't use it overly much anymore
Lol no. She can live her life and i can live mine. Use it less I'd do, but I'll keep what i want.
Asking to delete a social media account of the partner is unfair within relationships.
Yes of course 😇I have removed Instagram and Facebook because my girlfriend don't like other girls flitting me 😜😜
