I wass off social media around 1yr ago for 3month's i was traveling whole summer, was an amazing experience, if travel was free i could live without social media at all, but now sometimes i just look at pics ,places to visit etc, good thing this internet. 😄

If a guy said pick me or social media, I would say Bye because that is ridiculous and controlling, and only prefaces probably what the relationship will be like later. I would never want to be with a man like that.

I don't think of it as controlling. Lol.

easy ....yyyyyyyeeesss~lol

Why would u? Just asking.

I'm not a big social media fan...no facebook... no twitter...no instagram so what does that leave tumblr which I mostly lurk on and dxpnet lol which I just joined not to long ago.... would you?

I would. Don't see a reason not to. If it'll help my relationship.

I don't think social media could really hurt your relationship ....it just would be easy for me to give it up under any circumstances really cause I don't like it in the first place ...its like me giving up sardines for my relationship lol it wouldn't be a huge sacrifice for me ...do you like social media? would it be a sacrifice for you?

I do. What you do with social media should serve your own purposes.

Your privacy concerns etc.

But if you feel it's not controlling. I wouldn't worry what others say.

Some people have to give up social media for jobs etc.

I agree.. What u do with FB is ur own business. It was just a conversation starter. But I was strictly talking about Social media and relationships. Not jobs.

How do you figure? I view it as he would be trying to distance you from one of your main sources of social interaction... connecting with both friends and family.

My dad demands that his wife isn't on social media in order to control her.

It's all open for interpretation, but that's just how I feel.

Social media only causes issues in your relationships if you allow it to imo.

Agreed... I guess I don't look at it as controlling because if I still wanted to reach out to friends and family, I could do it via phone.

No ! relationship or not im my own person . As long as it doesn't take over your life and you spend quality time with your partner I can't see the issue .

Its usually jealous , possessive people who don't want their partners to engage in social media , nothings a bigger turn off then someone trying to control your life .

for a SERIOUS relationship?

Sure. Why not. Social media is nothing but a bunch of people acting like a Scorpio, aka NOSY.

We didn't land on social media, social media landed on us.

Scorpions are not nosey. Lol

Yes I would.

I'm not big into social media anyways.

I have already given it up because I like my privacy and it was creating unnecessary drama in my life.

Drama how

I go for drinks with my sister and she posts about it, then my best friend starts texting my "why wasn't I invited?"

My ex sees me going to a concert through mutual friends

One of my dad's many female friends sees a post about me traveling abroad and while we were doing some volunteer work together she asks me why I chose to go to Brazil?

In my head I thought
1st off it wasn't Brazil, it was Costa Rica.
2nd B**** we're not friends and I don't like you so mind your business

Depends on what it is. If it can be considered a dating site then maybe. Personal fb page - I would get rid of since I don't use it anyway. All of it completely? No. But I don't need to hide it either.

I'd hate to imagine being in a relationship where this was kind of the choice lol...
But if I had to, I'd give up social media in a heart beat, yesh.
Maybe I should ask @starwars tho

My current "situation" posed the question and asked if I would have an issue deleting my Social Media for the sake of a relationship and I have no problem with it. Maybe because I don't to much be on Social Media, I don't see a problem with it. I know that if I begin dating someone... All "dating sites" must be closed! But as far as FB, IG & those sites... I guess I'm okay with them. Long as it's not being used to flirt with anyone or anything of that sort.
