I quit social media, but the problem is that in the modern dating world a lot of people care whether you have an Instagram and that sort of thing. I truly hate

  Would that be an improvement, though? Do you really want a relationship with someone who cares if you have an active Instagram account? Feels like a great filter (heh) to weed out the chaff. (If you're just casually dating around / looking for hookups, then sure, do what you think you need to do.)

  If they care, they aren’t worth it - why date a sheep?

  Some other comments are along these lines but I’ll offer an anecdote. In college I was wearing a Halo biking shirt in the computer lab. A female friend remarked, “no one is going to date you if you wear that shirt.” Another friend nearby heard and quipped back, “or only the right girls will date him wearing that shirt.” You should view your preferences more as a filter. While you should be open to new experiences which may change those presences, if something makes you truly unhappy, you are better finding a partner who won’t force that in your life.

  It reminds me when I was young thinking I couldn't get a date because I didn't have six pack abs. Then when I got in really good shape I thought it was because I didn't make enough money. When I started making money I thought it was because I wasn't tall enough. There is no way having social media or not is mattering that much. It is just in your head.
