 What's going on you guys welcome to the single guy channel. My name is Lloyd So we have a question today from this guy, and he writes hi Lloyd I'm 24 and I don't have any social media because it was negatively impacting me I know social media is a huge part of most girls is I assume he's saying lies lives Is this something that girls in their early 20s would not appreciate? So hence having a severe negative impact on my dating life Can I use I can use texting and messengers for communication? I think this could be a good video idea as well. Thanks. I've been learning from you a lot okay So basically this guy has decided that he doesn't want to use social media But he's worried that not having a social media will impact his dating life a lot negatively And you know, it's true that social media can be used as a tool to get girls That show guys how to do this all the time. I've used it in the past But I know guys you get you do pretty well using social media to get girls However, I don't think that you should download and use social media Just for the sole purpose of getting women this the long answer the short answer to this question is that it's more trouble than it's worth Okay If you're not actually putting time and effort into it, and you don't know what you're doing you're gonna spend hours on end just scrolling liking photos and You know that the way it feeds into your brain is it's good It's probably gonna cause you a lot more frustration and anger than is worth. Okay, so I have a social media I use it sometimes I take breaks from it depending on, you know, what's going on I think now is a pretty good time to take a break from it a little less anger and frustration But you know, if you are someone who is worried about that Can you get girls? Can you still be very successful with women without having a social media and the app answers apps a frickin lutely? Yes, you can totally have a really great rich dating life Even if you want to sleep with a bunch of women if you want to find a nice girlfriend for yourself. Yes, you know You don't need To have a large social media presence I mean for most of the time that I was going out and dating like I was just meeting women on the street or like at A bar or you know at a social event or through friends like all of those things are much more powerful Connectors than liking somebody's or DMing somebody on Instagram or maybe sending them a DM on snapchat or whatever it is So, you know, I've saved for the most part the guys who talk about that sort of stuff And it the thing about social media is it always seems like people are doing a lot better than they are People who seem like they're getting a lot more girls or they're getting a lot more dates They're being a lot more successful people might even brag about it a little bit more on it But again, I think if you have decided in your life that it's not Providing a positive benefit just getting girls through it is not a good enough reason to get it And you mentioned in your question, too I wanted to touch up on this you said it seems to be a big part of most girls's lives Yeah, it's a big part of a lot of them You know the data is out there it shows that women do use social media more than men But there's a lot of women out there that don't use social media that are kind of or maybe they have an account They rarely go on it. I know a lot of these women, you know And sometimes I would say they're probably a lot more mature than the women who are glued to their phones 24-7 and can't pick up their pay can't pick up their face to even have a conversation with somebody You're you're opening yourselves up to meeting those kinds of women more And I think you'd be a great fit for some of them, too Okay Now for someone who didn't really spend a whole lot of time using a social media to get women I think you can absolutely be successful from it. Now recently I've tried to Enhance those areas of my life, but that was mostly due to business reasons It wasn't due to the fact that I thought it would enhance my dating life a whole lot Yes, if a girl likes you she's gonna stalk your Instagram. Yes You know, there are like I've gotten girls through social media But I could have gotten those girls without it And I think you can get those things, too Again, just by talking with people in real life using texting using messengers The only thing that I would say that I would add to this is that even if you don't have a Big social media presence. I think it's still worthwhile to have like four to five good pictures of yourself Whether you want to add it to a dating app or if you know You're talking to a girl and she wants a couple a few good photos of you so she can show her friends I think it's worthwhile having those things, too But no, dude, if you've decided that you don't want to use social media, don't get it just to get girls I mean, I can teach you how to do that if you want to but I don't think that's a good enough reason And I think there's a lot of benefits to not having that especially so That's my answer for you, man Hopefully if you watch this you got a lot out of this too I know a lot of people have been asking me this question as well So I figured I'd give you guys an answer Anyway, if you made it today and consider subscribing I come out with hundreds of videos like this every single week If you're interested to get coached by me personally, there's a form down below in the description box below Click on the link to fill out the form and you can see what a good fit and get back to it Thanks a lot you guys
