Social Media Snooping

Social media is a invention we have dealt with for approximately the last 20 years. It is debatable as to whether the world of relationships has adjusted to this new phenomena. Our non-digital reality has been affected but we have not made the needed adjustments. Social media has advantages and drawbacks. Let us start with the bad things first.

Disadvantages:

• People can be disingenuous.
• People can spy on you.
• It is difficult to detach from past loves who you still connect with online.

Advantages:

• You can get a lot of information(including spying) on a person.

As you can see above there are more disadvantages than advantages. The only advantage is itself a double edged sword but since social media is not going away for the foreseeable future it is better to use it than not.

When you meet a guy and exchange contact information. It is more important to connect to his social media than to his phone number. The social media account will give you an understanding of the following attributes/views:

• Political
• Dietary
• Relationship
• Humor
• Family
• Financial

By connecting with his social media you can quickly find out if you should run or keep studying. You should give yourself some time to observe, collect information and compile it to build a full character picture before addressing any undesirable attributes. If you address the attribute too quickly you may not have given yourself enough time to draw a full picture. Most importantly you should scan all his social media before having any sexual relations and ideally before you go on the first date. This will save a lot of time and can potentially protect your safety.

To identify the attributes that I think should cause you to run please see my other posts. It is also important to consider that many people have multiple social personalities. They have an account that is for the public and an account that is almost anonymous due to the unacceptable behavior they genuinely have. Therefore you have to use more senses and resources than social media. Thank you for reading.
