Not white and personal instagram doesn't suggest my height (almost all posts are archived, stories only), but there is validation on cool. Honestly, the intentionality of having few posts can be part of that. But I forget that I’ve done that and don't think about it.

I’ve also messaged “thirst traps” from one of my meme/popular accounts to great effect. They don’t show me at all and nothing links it to my personal one. People would be surprised what various women respond to, a popular account is very similar effect to shiny material things that suggest currency/external validation/attention.

I would say that when messages get read at all, things go well for me. Instagram DMs are basically broken for hot or in-demand people (I know from how my own meme accounts works) so if I just tried to send DMs to every profile I saw from a dating app, most would go unread and likely never seen. Some targeting works.

(outside of dating apps and social media, I do many other things to meet women different ways, I’m not really preoccupied with the aforementioned methods but they are also there and romance has happened the way I described)

I would say that I too spend more energy than I would prefer in reaching these intimate outcomes with new women.
