To be fair he is a very niche celebrity, not an actor or anything like that. He is an entrepreneur and very passionate about his craft, which is great. He just also happens to be physically attractive and I guess has been milking that so he posts videos and photos of himself on his Instagram often. It’s kind of part instructional to his craft and part selfie? I don’t know.
I have mixed feelings because as a woman I do this so who am I to judge that it would not be enjoyable to date a man who also does. But it also feels concerning to some degree because when I first met him he acted very entitled initially. I understand some people genuinely have to do it for work so I don’t know if I’m just being insecure or judgmental or if it legitimately could speak to his character as maybe not being someone who is interested in a deep bond and commitment.
Constantly sharing attractive photos of himself… it makes me as a woman feel slightly unsafe. I’m just curious overall what people think about dating these kinds of male celebrities/influencer types.

As long as he’s not a “dating coach” type spreading misogyny, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
You do the same thing? Then what’s the problem?
Did I date this same man?! I tried this out and it wasn’t for me. Doesn’t mean it can’t work for you!
The guy I dated had around 100k followers, fitness niche celebrity. What initially came across as confidence soon morphed into delusional arrogance over several weeks of getting to know each other.
He was *always on*. Always working. I get that in terms of him building his business, but it’s not workable for a normal relationship.
On a personal level, it was his way or the highway. I vividly remember one of our first “deep” conversations in person after FaceTiming long distance for a while…I flew to his city to see friends and spent some time with him…he goes “so tell me about yourself!”. It felt like an interview, yuck. No curiosity about who I was.
Nail on the coffin for me though was his instagram following. Followed hundreds and hundreds of attractive women that didn’t follow him back. Enough red flags for me to know it wasn’t going to be a match.
I don’t. It’s a part of his job, and I respect it, but based on your description, the ‘entitled’ part of him gave me away. I’d rather be with someone who’s down to earth ❤️
i mean it depends on his irl personality. you mentioning entitlement makes it seem as an immediate no though
I’ve dated celebrities, so I don’t have any issue with people being attracted to them or them having a large fan base
… But I don’t think I’d want to date an influencer unless their craft/skill was actually very impressive, something I’m into, and they can make or sustain a career completely based off the skill and not their looks/“influence”. It’s fine capitalising and using looks to your advantage… but if his abilities/skills can’t actually stand on their own,.. then no. It’s definitely a huge minus.
That would be a no, for me.
Me no, but just try it if you like him and see if it works for you.
You are calling instagrammers celebrities these days?? Damn.
No. And I will tell you why. I went on a date with a influencer who was social media famous. That’s what majority of his conversation was about, and he made it pretty clear that when an opportunity comes to film something that his followers would like or that he can give him views for he’s going to do it. I don’t wanna be with someone who is attached to their phone that often, it was a little gross for me.
Uncle Iroh says no
I would make sure he’s a great guy in person. If yea, then go for it. Make sure he isn’t letting all that attention go to his head though & isn’t cocky. Other than that, I feel like if that’s the only thing stopping you don’t let it!
No. I don’t want to date anyone who does ‘content’. I find it super off putting.
