Let's say you meet someone IRL and they seem perfectly normal. They've captured your interest. After a couple of weeks, you discover they have social media, and find out they have an open profile and thousands of followers on Instagram. Most posts are normal pictures with friends and family, but then they also have the occasional post like this.

Would this be a dealbreaker for you? Also, would having too many followers or posting 75 stories per day be a dealbreaker?

The TikTok videos would be cause to pause. I just find them insufferable for the most part. Asking me to participate with them in that nonsense would be a HELL NO dealbreaker. Don’t ask me to be in that nonsense BS.

That's just a sign of narcissism.

Would this Instagram bio be a turnoff?

It's great if you are a police officer on the graveyard shift.

I've got no room for someone that seeks and needs constant attention in my life personally.

Why do you need a bio on Instagram?

I put great value on social media profiles. It can tell you a lot. Normal pictures are okay.

Not okay:

Only selfies (too much self love)
Tons of selfies of your face only (no one gives a crap how your face looks from all angles)
half nude (ahole)
too many parties (immature)
following porn girls mostly (creep)
following little girls (uhm...)
weird social media content (weirdo)
oversharing of your personal life (no one gives a crap what you eat)
too many posts (get a life)
living on social media (get real friends/drama queen)

I put this in the broad category of whatever floats your boat. In general I suspect the people who are real interested in collecting a huge number of followers online more than likely have some issues with narcissism, but I also acknowledge that when you are younger, there is a certain amount of testing out your boundaries too. Trying to be popular just for the sake of being more popular is just something that a lot of people try out from their mid teens into early twenties before they realize that maybe this isn't the type of attention that they want either.

Maybe not the same thing, but if I get the sense that this guy uses social media to be a bully or a troll or an edgelord, that's a big no. Some people will argue that behavior and tact don't matter online, but they do, really.
