This is purely my opinion, and I am not sure if this is something anyone would agree with - that, the more extroverted you are, the more likely you are to interact with people face-to-face and not be a part of any of the social media websites like twitter, facebook, snapchat, pinterest, etc. On the other hand, introverts tend to be more "afraid of" socially interacting with people in real life, and therefore, prefer to communicate with them using those social media sites.
I communicate with people the old way - of course I do have a cell/mobile phone, but it's actually not a smartphone. I don't even like texting.
I am also very skeptical of online meetups/dating.
I only use the email for online communication.
My opinion is based on the experiences of myself and friends, colleagues/acquaintances.
What are your thoughts? And what countries would be a good fit for outgoing people like myself, who prefer to actually talk to people face-to-face and NOT use the social media?

Extroverts need and thrive in social interaction and online communication provides a chance to interact with far more people for more extended periods of time, because they don't even need to be present to be able to talk, so I think they're actually much more likely to use them.
These platforms also give the possibility to show off, which is a practice an extrovert is much more likelier to indulge in.
Also keep in mind that if you were correct, you wouldn't find 99% of humanity with their eyes glued to their phone.
There are lots of extroverts who are totally obsessed with their phones, and lots of introverts don't even have a phone. They have zero correlation.

Well definitely not our countries lol. East Asians are the worst when it comes to smart phone obsession.

So assuming you moved to a country which was a good fit, would you drop your current friends because you could no longer interact face to face, or would you keep in touch via social media?
introvert, don't like any kind of communication...
I am an introvert and I love meaningful communication. It's the small talk and chit-chat that is grating to me.
In fact, I am often mistaken for an extrovert and described as a sociable, "people" person. To me, quality, not quantity matters.
