Indeed, once you get past the initial hurdle of knowing the bare minimum about your date, falling for someone without social media is actually great: Imagine how wonderful it would be to date someone who’s blissfully ignorant of Instagram micro-influencers like Caroline Calloway or Jim Carrey’s weekly works of “art.”
Is it bad to not have a social media presence?
So, yes, you spend a lot of time updating your partner on online gossip (and have to send memes via text) but, ultimately, the positives outweigh the negatives.

Sarah Hendrica Bickerton, a Ph.D. student researching New Zealand political participation online, conducts so much of her life online, she can’t imagine falling in love with someone who didn’t post. “Social media is such a big part of who I am and how I interact with so many people,” she told HuffPost.
“I don’t need him to show me off because he shows me in so many other ways that are more meaningful than any half-assed Instagram post,” she said. “I don’t need him to have a social media account if he has no interest in it, besides making me ‘happy’ by telling his two followers how much he loves me.
