Would this be a dealbreaker for you? Also, would having too many followers or posting 75 stories per day be a dealbreaker?
Would them posting that in social media be a problem for me? No. I think it's kind of funny and there's something wrong with being sexy.

As far as the followers go, I'm not sure I've never been with somebody that into social media. If it doesn't take time away from us then sure go for it.

But no I think the videos you presented are fun.

Is this a serious question? "Dealbreaker" is not the word. "Complete and instant turnoff" is the relevant term here...
Or more succinctly: ew.

My millennial boyfriend is glued to his phone, aka social media. I do not understand how anyone could look at (dumb) videos and memes all day long. He cannot even bring dirty dishes into the kitchen without his phone on him. Luckily he is hardly posting anything himself and if, only motorcycle stuff.

If he would be posting all day stuff about himself (and me), I would be out the door. Complete dealbreaker to me.

I had a few dates with someone before who took pictures of me and us all the time, I did not think anything of it and then I saw myself all over his social media. Some pictures were not really flattering for me (in my opinion). He did not even ask me if I agree being visible to the world. I dumped him quite fast. I am lucky he took the pictures down.

LOL. Where would s/he have the time for you? Wouldn't you wonder where the camera was whenever you were with her/him?

I like the one at 1:00.

She's really cute. Looks good both demure but also classy and sexy.

Young enough to be my daughter, lol.

It's a turn off for me.
Especially, when they participate in those Tik Tok challenges. Way too feminine for my taste!

If he has free time, he should be working or finding something to fix around the house.
