>>84617594
Yeah, usually they're the ones with massive social anxiety who are kept from it by sheer phobia.

>>84617599
Where do I find these girIs

>>84617610
You don't because they're socially avoidant. It's a random encounter event like when a cat behind a gate actually responds to a psspsspsspss and comes over to let you pet it.

a girl in high school dated me as a prank. she had no social media back then, not sure about now.

I thought about it because I feel I could only date a girl who isn't absorbed by the constant allure of social media. It's such a poison on the mind and few people are able to disseminate what they see on the internet from real life. At least in my case, all (and I literally mean all) of the women I have met in recent years have some sort of "psychosis" related to social media. I guess you could compare it to TV addiction of years ago but the difference is you couldn't watch a TV anywhere, so you ultimately spent less of your time consuming media. Also television contributed to monoculture, whereas social media has broken apart people into their own little worlds. I stopped wanting a girlfriend this year because I cannot find an aforementioned girl like that. They either don't exist in the current year or are so rare that my chances of finding a decent woman are slim to none.

>>84617594
they pretty much dont exist since social media was specifically designed to adict female mind

>>84617643
>>84617594
also the girl in that picture is very cute

>>84617594
Does discord count? I only have discord and I'm not active in any servers nor do I have orbiters.

>>84617594
funny how moids complain about women using social media and then they continue to post on this board all day long

>>84617666
I am not complaining about women using it, they can do as they please. The problem is it has restricted people's ability to think critically and form their own opinions. I can't be with someone (man or woman) who cannot willingly break away from it. I'd argue against 4chan being social media in the typical sense because of its anonymity. It's more like reading the comments on a news site or any forum. Anybody can post any opinion and it won't come back to bite them in the ass unless they do something identifiable. I think any sane person who come here (not that you're all sane) know that this site doesn't represent the majority's opinions, but people are less likely to believe that with stuff like Instagram or Facebook.

>>84617666
Anonymously posting on a forum is a little different than social media you dumb hole

>>84617713
lol when have women ever thought critically.

>>84617739
I know this is going to sound retarded but I've met some older women who think critically, at least on par with the average man. Any woman below thirty-something and it's pretty rare, though I might have been acquainted with a few not sure

>>84617725
not really. you're all a hivemind on this website the exact same, you just consume pornography every minute that you are on here, it is a complete waste of time all the same as social media and you could actually be doing something with yourself in the time that you waste on here. i dont see how it's any different from just scrolling on social media brainlessly.

r9k is my only form of social media. it's nice

>>84617666
Relevant numbers for a dumb ass demonic whore. Let me explain.

Men on social media is ENTIRELY different than women on social media. This is my downtime, you're online 24/7 because you're a useless fucking cunt who's addicted to attention. Be quiet

>>84617787
In what parallel reality is an imageboard like 4chan 'social media'?

>>84617811
why did her statement make you react in defensive anger, anon?

>>84617713
you dont think this board restricts people's ability to form their own opinions lol? do you not see the men on here spouting the same regurgitated opinions verbatim all the time? i think from everything you've said, you honestly just have an issue with people in general, it's not a social media specific thing. conformity tends to emerge wherever people gather.

>>84617824
im a namefag

>>84617838
Being obsessed with your own ego still doesn't make 4chan 'social media'. Dumbass.

>>84617811
consuming social media doesnt equate to getting attention lol.

>>84617842
we're socializing, are we not?

>>84617824
people intentionally forget the meaning of terms. forums and BBS software pre-date social media, which also has a precise definition.

>>84617858
No we're not. This is just an echochamber for lonely retards to vent their daily frustration.
>>84617862
I fucking despise how the vast majority of people who were born yesterday use existing lingo as a buzzword and ALWAYS use it in the wrong context because they only have a vague understanding of said word and only care about fitting in online with the other mouth breathers.

>>84617862
functionally, what's the difference? especially for a board like r9k that doesn't have an established 'theme' like the hobby boards. it's largely the same hollering into the void and people chatting about random topics together

>>84617866
>This is just an echochamber for lonely retards to vent their daily frustration
how is that not a form of social media?

>>84617594
That is my dream girl because I dont us social media besides discord and 4chan

>>84617666
nice apples to oranges comparison. were you really too retarded to realize you're comparing 2 different things?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Posting anonymously on here isn't the same as 500 simps liking everything you do on your Facebook page.
On here you can't even post 1 thing without being called a nigger lmao. If you post nigger on Facebook you're banned.
Please gtfo with that bait comparison and then kill your dumb ass self, nigger wench.

>>84617769
We have actual conversations here

>>84617885
I'll look up your personal account profile page and dm you an explanation. Oh wait, this isn't social media at all. Who knew?

>>84617830
I specifically come to r9k to yell at suspected foids because I'm a broken man who sorta actually hates women, and it's fun to "anonymously" berate the low value women here. What else did you think.
>>84617848
I don't know a single woman that just consumes and doesn't add to the cesspit. The unchecked consumption is just as big of a problem too

>>84617894
silly moid. we're talking about consumption of social media, not specifically posting. theyre two different things.
>On here you can't even post 1 thing without being called a nigger lmao. If you post nigger on Facebook you're banned.
okay so the only difference is difference in opinions and censorship, which has nothing to do with my point. i do quite like how angry this makes you all

>>84617905
I also really want to hate fuck a r9k foid and I'm trying to manifest that.

>>84617905
>i do quite like how angry this makes you all
Sad to hear your life is so extremely vapid and empty that ragebaiting on anonymous incel boards is the highlight of your day.

>>84617899
about what? women, porn, how sad you are all the time, anime, games. you think social media doesnt?

>>84617902
i consume social media and i dont post.

>>84617905
Um no, you dont need to be told the difference 5,000 times in this thread, you already know the difference, dumb nigger wench. Stop trolling.

>>84617917
i didnt say it was the highlight of my day but it is very amusing that while complaining about women's hive mind on social media, you're all throwing a baby fit that i have a differing opinion to you

>>84617919
So you just brainrot on tiktok all day?

>hurrr durr u all gettin mad cuz im trollin
no thats not how it works. you're just a fucking retard.

>>84617925
no i dont use tiktok. i look at cat videos and recipes on instagram reels sometimes. at least with social media it's tailoured to what you make it, you can use it for anything. cant say the same for r9k

>>84617924
That's the beauty of it, you didn't even have to say it. From your tone alone it's quite obvious that your life is beyond miserable and you're using this childish game of come-uppance as a form of escapism for the aforementioned grim fact. Hopefully you can find something more meaningful in the near future.

>>84617940
I apologize for insulting you. Thank you for not using tiktok, and thank you for proving me wrong so far. The fact you still use Instagram unbased though

>>84617942
this is a very womanly response youre pulling on me anon, the psuedo analysis stuff

>>84617594
I don't. Live isolated so no socials anyway

>>84617901
so the difference is the lack of personal profiles and private messages? a lot of forums and even some of the old bbs systems had those functions, too, though. i don't think using them as examples of what isn't social media holds up well. to be clear, im not trying to, like, pick a stupid fight. i don't use social media, so i don't have much understanding of what makes something social media. i classify the board as such because it's a social space, and even anonymously, there are recognizable posters who are here every day talking and shitposting and sharing things about their lives and opinions. to me, it feels very much like a social space with other people ive gotten to know over the years

>>84617953
Oh, you have no argument at all? I accept your concession and wish you luck in your journey to find something that actually makes you happy instead of ..whatever this is.

This person doesn't know what the difference between being anonymous and not is, complete retarded troll.
You all post here all day, you're not fooling anyone. We literally recognize your posts.

>>84617965
an argument to what? your armchair psychologising non argument? no i dont have an argument for a non argument.

>>84617594
My wife. Shes autistic as fuck and plays dnd with nerds.

>>84618006
>psychologising
That's not how you say psycho-analysis, love. Anyway you don't have to keep doubling down and prove how shit your life is by coping through arguing with le moids all day every day. Now go to sleep since you've made your bed.

>>84618028
>To psychologize means to explain, interpret, or analyze behavior, events, or situations using psychological principles or theories

>>84618038
Who's the armchair pseud now eh? Lmao you absolute retard.

>>84618056
you sound underage and unmedicated. i hope that you grow out of this and move on soon

>>84618056
a google definition isnt pseudo anything

>>84617866
>This is just an echochamber for lonely retards to vent their daily frustration.
this is not what 4chan nor /r9k/ specifically is.
>oldfag larping
it's always the newfaggots doing this too, god you're annoying.
>>84617958
it is functionally social media at this point but because you used a gender specific marker in "moids" that seemed to separate you from that category, they are going to disagree with every single thing you say and do the
>dumb hole
>stupid fucking cunt
>idiot nigger wench
>blow your brains out like you blow 20 chad cocks every day you useless fucking slut
dance to bond with each other and mark you as an outsider from their in-group rather than actually respond to any point you make. because they have none. because this is how social media behaves. 4chan's historical animosity to facebook never prevented anyone from using both or multiple other social media platforms at the same time, and with the constant cross-pollination of short form video media specifically this is basically just a backup repository for reddit screenshots and audio-less tiktok webms for normies to say nigger. they haven't figured out yet that many platforms such as xitter, tumblr, and even some parts of reddit and facebook truly do not give a fuck if you call someone a nigger faggot retard kike whore who needs to drink a gallon of semen and then slit your idiot spic throat anymore. they simply do not have the volume of operators to be able to effectively moderate it nor care to unless it poses a direct liability to their platform, and gen z shifted hard away from the overly censorious behavior of their performative millennials predecessors who defined those web etiquette standards. and you can and do get banned for saying that shit on 4chan anyway. trolling outside of /b/ and excessive racism have always been against global rules, and endlessly spamming nigger was never the desired content of 4chan. it's just tolerated because moderation is otherwise so (nicely) lax.

>>84618028
>>84618056
are you normally this stupid in your daily life or do you save it for the website that logs your ip and every post you make for mods to laugh at

>>84618136
the one saying moids is a different person. i do say moid/foid, but haven't in this thread. im also nearing 40 so i can't really speak on a lot of the new internet as i have no experience with it. i have no issues with younger people, though. i know some people here get very twisted over the youngshits

>>84618178
ah, my mistake following the convo, i was skimming past a fair portion of the back-and-forth. happens with anonymous people! either way it's often the same sentiment, they spot a supposed vulnerability based on presumed identity markers and latch onto it. typically the pattern is to lodge as many high velocity accusations as possible (nigger faggot tranny retard autist schizo jeet hole) and then try to ally with other anons and bond over mocking the other one. framing and all that.

So fckin funny nobody ever thinks ppl can change how they type lol? Like... this thread couldnt be just 1 super autismo if they wanted?? fckn amateurs i stg moids NEVER EVER learn. Failed normalfag retards have ruined my incel board with their simping for OnlyWhores and inability to adapt to the culture. God I can't wait for the day of the rope when all you beta bitch emo faggots finally learn what not even a crumb of pussy nor a drop of the azn titty milk of human kindness does to a sensitive kind-hearted young White man. Of course, maybe I want to try taking a few deep breaths here? I sure seem to have my panties in a bunch, love. Is it that time of the month already? It's okay, I accept my own concession of emotional instability. After all, that's what all women are aside from a few used up holes and rapidly drooping fat bags, right? lmfao wtf is this schizo shit take your fucking meds tranny freak also no girls on the internet seethe, cope, dilate, etc

it's boring, but it is fun to mix it all together sometimes.

>>84618028
>>84618056
this is my least favorite. they're so predictable and nothing breaks them out of their loops. anything you say they'll just respond back to like an actual bot, but the pathetic part is i think this is an actual person/s who just posts here often. i wish they would get a bit more creative and insulting, there is no friction here. you can tell they get annoyed when they don't get the attention they want because they start mass responding.

>>84618178
>nearing 40
have you been here for a while then? normally people who are above roughly 26 have a long history with the site if not the actual board.

>>84618275
yeah, once it hits baseless anger i typically disengage because it's clear they just want a target to aim at. i can't be too mad about it though because ive had my share of melties in the past too and understand that it can be temporarily cathartic to lash out at the strawman you've assigned someone as. you learn to let a lot roll off you over time
>>84618280
i have, yeah. some 20 odd years now. it's been an integral part of my life for over half my life. i think that's part of why i see it as a form social media

>>84617769
>If yOu HaTe sOciAl MedIA So mUcH HoW cOme yOu'Re UsINg iT kEk GotChA!

You could make that same observation about doing anything on the Internet in general. You aren't contributing anything meaningful to the discourse with this statement.
The difference is that anon-posting is detached from the real world self, which is used in every other social media format to gain attention. Attention is the currency of those markets, and it encourages shameless posturing and self-aggrandizement to create the illusion of value.
This type of behavior isn't possible when there is no "self" to utilize, which makes this forum tolerable in comparison to the disingenuous and promotional slop that comprises the majority of content in those other environments. They are not remotely comparable if you have the capacity for intelligent thought, though you've demonstrated quite effectively that you do not.

>>84618477
most social media is already faceless/psuedoanonymous, so the identity distinction doesnt hold and the existence of namefags shows identity still forms on 4chan anyway. this isn't adding anything new.

>though you've demonstrated quite effectively that you do not.
lmao

Yeah they exist, im one for example.
Deleted snap years ago, deleted tiktok years ago but download it here and there because it has alot of random info I need.
Deleted insta a year ago.
Don't use discord and deleted that too
But youre being very weird about it, most men, most PEOPLE, have social media.
Why are you making it a gender thing?
Discord is social media, most men have that.
Youre being weird OP.
Wait does pintrest count? If yes then indeed I use social media.

Does not compute

>>84618359
yeah, i'm not going to pretend i haven't engaged back and forth when i should have stopped long before. i don't tend to get actually emotional like they always project, but i do get annoyed and start seeing exactly how graphically insulting i can get before janny-senpai comes in to put me in a time-out or give me a spanking. really gotta learn when to roll it back and just find a new thread but
>the smug anime girl mocks me
this cannot stand!!!!!

20 years? wow, i'm only at 17, maybe 18. so you were around for the 2006 and before era huh? the site used to be so different. not better, necessarily, but different. moot and the others used to discuss it with aching nostalgia when comparing what it was in 2009 on here to their earlier times, but they neglected to mention how filled with stupid drama all of that was from being young, dumb, and desperately wanting to be filled with cum.

it's so strange for anyone to insist it isn't social media when it was made as a place to hang out socially and post media with friends filtered off something awful. you can argue forums and earlier weren't social media in the sense of being visually-based and centered around monetizing real world identities which are openly tied to internet activities, but to insist they aren't social media in any sense is silly. competence based communities with pseudonymous cliquish hierachies and higher standards for interaction and active power-tripping moderation, sure. that's very different from modern social media, but it's still social media. it's just fundamentally organized and operated under different internal codes, and had more self-segregating groups in a semi-private atmosphere centered around interests. it wasn't a pure beauty or popularity contest, but the popular and beauty rose in their respective niches anyway. the biggest difference with 4chan and imageboard culture specifically is the anonymity, but that's always been an option (except for forced anon) not a requirement.

>>84619171
do you need everything spelt out for you? a good 80% of social media users either dont post or they have private accounts with very little following without real identity attached to it. you dont HAVE to post on social media

>>84618477
>You aren't contributing anything meaningful to the discourse with this statement.
are you a dredge from the kind of social media that operates on competitive victim hierarchies and analyses of problematic behavior or just trolling as insufferable
>the real world self, which is used in every other social media format to gain attention.
that is absolutely not true. it's not even mostly true. it's true for professional "influencers", "content creators", and "cultural analyists" but those can infect any website. you simply do not, barring the websites that actually require it like facebook and linkedin, have to give anyone your real name or face. sure they can and definitely do scrape your data on the backend to get it anyway, but you don't have to let the peer-level users know what it is. and attention is the currency of all social media markets. what else is this quest for (you)s? 4chan and other imageboards allow and encourage anonymous posting and discourage/punish advertising, that is one of their major distinctions. they are also notoriously hostile to monetization of chan culture precisely because of the collective contribution and theoretically ephemeral nature of interactions here. if someone else profits off of it, it's a violation of the spirit of the site. and if the originator sets it up precisely to do so, it comes off like a callous planned exploitation of the platform's userbase which is already notoriously hostile to outsiders, originally for the irritation of attention-seeking in camwhoring and later that of blogposting, contactfagging, and other manipulative self-serving behaviors to the detriment of the health and frankly the fun of the community. chan culture's differentiation from social media is existential and tied to its legacy from japan and the old(er) internet, which was far more technical, cynical, and more sink-or-swimt than the ilk that populate it now. thankfully hiroshimoot's acquisition has left this aspect mostly intact.

>>84619220
anon is forgetting that even on 4chan the majority of people on the site are lurkers. most people are reading, not responding. the ones that do have to already have a bit of an ego to even interject themselves into a conversation with a stranger, much less an argument, much less attempt to bait outrage or attention to farm that argument for quick cash at the expense of their reputation and/or soul. truly the main difference here is that on 4chan you're doing it for the love of the game and the hope someone else screencaps your totally epic post to pass around, if you don't do it yourself.

>>84617594
thats me but i like scrolling thru it sometimes i just dont like posting because it reminds me that i have few friends that will like my photo

>>84619220
That's a cute number you pulled out of your ass with absolutely no support for it whatsoever.

>>84619407
what's your deal with hyperfixating on this one anon? is their specific brand of responses giving you that attention you clearly crave but lambast everyone else on the internet for wanting?

>>84617666
Here, there is no usernames and no likes. Here, there is actual interaction happening, people having discussions and exchanging ideas. Not just farming meaningless internet points and attention. Here, there is meaningful exchange of information, not just ducklip pictures and likes. Here, we can discuss things in more than 140 characters, because we are not midwits who get bored by having to read a full sized paragraph. Here, we are not attacked or banned for wrongthink and thus subject to constant peer pressure and negative reinforcement. This is not social media. This is what social media should be, and was before normalfags found the internet.

>>84617594
I dont use social media anymore because I used to compare myself and get my texts leaked in high school and get bullied. Does that answer your question?

>>84617837
Of course it doesn't, because unlike on social media, people here are not banned for expressing their own opinions. If they adopt the opinions of the hivemind, that's their fault for being weak-willed and lacking their own. But this is the one place that doesn't restrict you from having your own opinions, because everywhere else having any opinion that isn't a majority red or blue opinion is treated as if you're making personal attacks on people.

Nope. Just like women who do not use an iPhone. Not like they dont want to, they are just unable to sell themselves off for one

They exist, robots just want to pretend they don't because it doesn't fit their worldview.
