I totally agree with GC's main idea, on some articles, that being on social media is basically useless for most men.
On my part, though, I see basically two different - polar opposites - options in this regard:
1. Leave social media and go onfull minimalism (for example having only whatsapp / a messaging app - so that you can still get those few status updates and more direct, 1-on-1 interactions) - this would be I think the best option for 90% of men
2. Leverage social media for a career / become a sort of influencer, try to use them to get a bit "famous". This is a choice that is sometimes necessary for certain kinds of careers - artists, musicians, singers, actors and so on - and could be a way to actually leverage social media in one's favour.
All of the male influencers I've seen achieving even a moderate following + blue dot have always got a lot of female attention, where I live, and often end up dating pretty well.
While getting household-famous requires a lot of luck and effort, becoming a mini celebrity in a niche is somehow achievable with a regular daily effort and the right marketing tools. It becomes a side gig of sort.
I think these are the two main choices - anything in between (the classic uncool instagram profile, with a few followers and nothing very interesting, nor black nor white) must be avoid, for the reasons already explained on the website. Much better to be the mysterious (and less stressed, more productive and less addicted) guy without social media who needs the number, than a loser instagram "follower" like millions of others.
What are your thoughts about these 2 very different kind of routes?
