If you've done any amount of online dating, you've probably come across some variation of a girl asking for your other social media, especially Instagram. It can happen before or after you get her number, but I see it most often after getting the number when I'm already texting. It's a way for her to satisfy her natural female curiosity through her preferred outlet of socialization, the iPhone. Here's my response for this increasingly common request.

Girl: Do you have instagram?
Me: @kevinhart4real

Her response will be along the lines of "that's not you." I'll follow that up with a "confession" about how that's actually Kevin Hart's account. After that, she'll drop the subject, and you should feel free to continue on by arranging the date.

You can substitute whatever celebrity you like for Kevin Hart. My only suggestion is that it should be someone obviously famous, so that even a dumb chick can get the joke.

I feel as though living and doing my thing in CT has really insulated me from what goes on in the rest of America. I'm currently spinning two 20-year-olds and one 21-year-old. College students, some from affluent families. I hit college bars and pick up girls from the 19-31 range but I never seem to hear or see anything like this. I can't even remember the last time I was asked if I was on Facebook.

Is this (Instagram) something that is asked frequently?

[Tuthmosis]

That seems a little complicated for me. My response to the same question:

Girl: Do you have an Instagram?

Tuthmosis: No, I'm not an attention whore. Do you?

[Feo]

Am I missing something? Dumb question, but why not just show her your instagram

[el mechanico]

I would like the tl;dr version on what exactly Instagram is about.

In other news I think I understand twitter.

Pictures....lots of pictures....and hashtags.

[el mechanico]

Ok so why would they expect men to have this?

^are you looking for logic in womens' thinking?

Men shouldn't expect to have this, I had it before it was a "thing".

SMV.
"It's creepy if you don't"
So they can creep and do recon work about you.
See if you hangout with attractive girls aka competition.

Personally, I'm always doing fun shit and always posting things (no not food), places, people, hot girls, shows.

I've cultivated an IG that shows I'm sociable, outgoing, I do what I want and do fun stuff, I hangout with HB's.

Personally I haven't been giving out my IG online lately, I move it straight to text, snapchat, or the meetup.

[el mechanico]

So you just continuously post pictures and anyone can comment/see them?

I would think it's a hard thing to maintain for the long haul.

Hit the streets!

@MD douche, Where you at up there? PM if you like

Depends, it can be public, the hashtags can be useful, and people can follow you from those.

It could be private it where it's friends only.

IG isn't that hard to maintain, I post only once or twice a week at most.

It's a useful tool me, also being able to Direct Message girls and number close helps.

[el mechanico]

^ Hmm. If that works for you I would Imagine you'd be an animal live on the streets.

I get it though now and el will not be opening an instagram, twitter, snapchat etc.

Ever.

Unless I make a bunch of cash then I'll do anything.

Hate to say it tinder/okc + ig has crippled my street game. I need to throw myself out there even thought my time is limited, I do decent at bars or parties.

I don't have twitter, snapchats great for nudes, I hardly use FB.

IG is great for movements and can make money if you have a grassroots business or personal trainer. I've seen a few friends do it.

[Roardog]

I've never actually had a girl ask for my IG. One of my current plates keeps sending me friend requests on Facebook but I just keep ignoring them and she hasn't brought it up in person.
I had one girl find my IG because it's a similar username to my OKC username which I found a bit stalkerish.
However I don't care if girls look at my IG as I've got nothing to hide on there and like Kaotic I only use it to post photo's of me doing interesting stuff.

[Remington]

Her: Do you have instragram?
Me: I don't own a smartphone.

Subject dropped immediately

I like this response. I'm going to find a famous person who has an instagram name that is not "theirname69" or something like that.

I might just use Dan Bilzerian's instagram.

I use a version of this when girls ask "were you in a frat?!" Some of these college girls are still stuck in the college social scene and want to hear that I'm a frat guy....too bad I wasn't.

HB10: "Were you in a frat?"
redbeard: "yea omega psi phi"



edit:I'm as white as it gets

What do you do? Watch Star Trek movies all day like an incel?

[BlurredSevens]

Even better would be to live a lifestyle others envy, and that's worthy of interesting photos. Then you'd be happy to share your instagram account.

Love it or hate it, social media is a part of how young people interact now. Hating on it, attempting to dismiss it, or rebelling against it shows a girl that you're out of touch. You might get kudos from some fellow RVF members on your witty comebacks, but I've never seen a clever rebuke make a girl wet.

In other words, nobody cares that you're too cool for school. Especially not the girls you're trying to bang.

[Hardy Daytona]

I've gotten variations on this quite a bit.
Facebook, instagram, twitter etc.

Whenever I'm asked about it I say that I'm not online (it's true aside from my emails)
and follow up by saying that the only 3 people left in the world who aren't online are me, Elvis and JFK.

Laughter ensues about 8 times out of 10.

[General Stalin]

Easy response.

Bish: Do you have an instagram/twitter/facebook/snachat?
Me: no

Yes or no doesn't matter. Just follow up with a non sequitur.

"Did you know this place is haunted by a former male cheerleader...."

Distract. If she pushes, answer however you'd like.

If she really demands it, the right answer is sorta like the Heisenberg principle. Just as Schrodinger's cat is both alive and dead until you open the box, she is both creeped out by you and turned on until you respond.
