How Social Media Can Make Dating Experiences Shallow And Unpleasant

How Social Media Can Make Dating Experiences Shallow And Unpleasant
SHARE

In the digital age of July 2024, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, with 5.17 billion users worldwide, representing 63.7% of the global population. The allure of platforms like Instagram has created a new standard for relationships, often promoting unrealistic expectations. Social media influencers, in particular, portray idealized versions of their relationships, which may not reflect reality. This phenomenon has led to a shallow and sometimes unpleasant dating experience for many individuals.

The Phenomenon of Ghosting

Ghosting, the act of abruptly cutting off communication without explanation, has become a common practice in modern dating culture. A 2023 survey revealed that a significant number of individuals have experienced being ghosted, with many perpetrators citing a desire to avoid confrontation. This trend has transcended into other aspects of life, with Gen Z individuals admitting to ghosting job interviews and even skipping their first day of work to evade conflict, mirroring the behavior seen in dating scenarios.

The Facade of Pick-Me Individuals

Individuals who portray themselves as “pick-me” types often seek validation and attention through social media. While initially appearing unique and desirable, these individuals may prioritize external validation over genuine connection. In relationships with pick-me individuals, every detail is often shared on social media, further blurring the line between authenticity and performance.

Navigating Jealousy in the Digital Age

Jealousy is a prevalent emotion in relationships, exacerbated by online interactions. The visibility of likes and comments on social media platforms can fuel feelings of insecurity and comparison. Individuals may find themselves questioning the motives behind their partner’s online interactions, leading to feelings of inadequacy and suspicion. The pursuit of validation through likes and comments further complicates the dynamics of modern relationships.

Furthermore, there exists a perceived standard for the number of likes a post should receive, adding pressure to conform to social media norms. On platforms like Instagram, the average acceptable like-to-follower ratio falls between 3-6%, creating an additional layer of scrutiny and comparison.

The Distraction of Social Media

Social media’s pervasive presence can detract from real-life dating experiences, with individuals becoming easily distracted by their devices. The fear of missing out (FOMO) on social media updates can create a sense of disconnect and disinterest during in-person interactions. The incessant need to stay connected virtually can overshadow the authenticity and depth of face-to-face communication.

Deconstructing Relationship “Goals”

Social media influencers often promote unrealistic relationship ideals, setting unattainable standards for couples. The phenomenon of couple “goals” has permeated online platforms, showcasing extravagant lifestyles and picture-perfect moments. However, these curated images may not reflect the complexities and challenges of real relationships, leading to disillusionment and comparison among followers.

One notable example is the relationship between Jay Alverraz and Alexis Ren, whose glamorous portrayal on social media eventually unraveled, revealing underlying issues of fame and materialism. Their story serves as a cautionary tale against idolizing superficial representations of love and partnership.
