I shit you not having an IG w/ 10k or esp 20k+ instagram followers and killer photos is bigger social proof then owning a fucking ferrari to the 18-23 crowd and it costs almost nothing.
As a male in this age range, I can verify that this is probably the most valuable statement in this entire thread. Young women (and young people in general) literally view followers and online fame as more desirable than having money, no joke.
A guy with $0.00 in his bank account but 100K followers on IG will probably do way better than a guy with $1,000,000 in his bank account but no followers. Instagram owns an entire generation - your value is now determined by how many followers/likes you get.
It doesn't matter whether or not you think that's a good or bad thing. This is the way it is and it probably isn't going to be changing anytime soon.
However, if you are one of those dudes who posts blurry selfies that get 4 likes and is only able to attain 24 followers and comments under IG models' photos "send bobs and vegana", you're probably better off not getting IG. The only thing worse than not having an IG account is having an IG account that confirms your low social value (low followers, engagement, shitty pics, etc.)
