I'm hoping to get some insight on this, mainly from girls/women somewhat close to my age (28M) or below, because that's the age of most Instagram users.
I'm a chill gamer guy, recently been going to the gym, and want to become more charismatic and confident around women, perhaps learn how to flirt because I'm socially stupid. I want to have that energy that will make me attractive and increase my chances of successfully asking out women who I'm interested in (I'm monogamous in relationships, just gotta find someone in the first place).
"Can I get your number" has pretty much become "Do you have Instagram?", apparently. I'm ready to adapt to that. Being at the verge between generations Y and Z, a Zillennial, I am frequently in contact with girls just few years younger who seemingly care a lot about social media. So I want to build up some sort of good image, something for a first impression. Currently, my Instagram has almost no posts, I only use it for memes and reels.
Therefore my question: If some guy charmingly asked you for your Instagram after a short convo, and you were interested enough to exchange it with him, what would you check out most? His pictures and posts? His followers? Whom he follows?
For example, I'm interested in doing cosplay, and I follow a few professional cosplayers, including women. Not the kind that posts any sexually explicit or suggestive material, but nevertheless objectively pretty women who do cosplay and are dressed as video game characters, sometimes showing skin depending on the cosplays they do. Is that already a turn-off?
Coming from a toxic relationship, following any girl at all was already a problem unless she was a relative. Now I would like to know and unfollow anything that would decrease or vaporize someone's attraction towards me instantly.
What do you care about when you check a guy's social media? Thank you!
