    Doc: bite your tongue man, or better yet have one of your women do it for you – lol. I can’t dump my social media accounts since they (1) don’t give away my true identity and (2) I need them for entering sweepstakes. Seriously. They are dummy accounts with false info but that’s never disqualified me. However, if I didn’t use them to enter sweeps you can be damn sure I’d never have created accounts on them.

    GoneGalt: It’s easy to rag on sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr because that’s where you find so many females of privilege s~~~ting on the men who made their lives so comfortable and easy and who gave them a global stage from which to speak.

    But it’s not the tools that are the problem, so much, but the values that are being projected through them. Sure, I believe that facebook facilitates and promotes narcissism and unhealthy social interactions and should be avoided because of it but I have nothing against the program, the company or the people who created it. I also think television programming creates a false worldview and saps your ability to lead an indigenous life but I don’t blame the folks at Samsung for that either.

    If you can use these tools and not be corrupted by them, then fine, but I’m sure Bilbo Baggins felt the same way about the One Ring as I felt about Hulu… a little bit here and there now and then isn’t going to do any harm. But Social Media and the TV have their own agenda and just like the One Ring’s power kept Bilbo young even though he didn’t actively use that power and corrupted him even without his knowledge, so will the presence and subtle lure of the tools through which modern gynocentric society projects it’s power corrupt us in time.

    That’s why I say stay away. I’m even turning off my Hulu and Netflix accounts… toying with the idea of doing away with TV and movies altogether because of the subtle influences they have. The more in tune with myself I become, the more I see these media and the tools through which their values are projected for what they are.

    @doc, I feel the same way, I used to hack satellite ATR’S, all channels; Free…. S~~~ I’m hacking IP via router, avoiding a static address…. You couldn’t get me to watch TV, unless it was a minute to minute debate on all the BRAIN WASH! The media has become a political 25hr. live feed consisting of a thousand channels all spewing the same liberal hive BULL S~~~! …. I can say one thing; I do want to watch the new sniper movie liberals are so upset about! I feel like I’m the +pole on a magnet, whatever they decide, I go the opposite.

    UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for your insight, it helped me take the next step in this decision. @ChaosOverAll I did that on purpose, glad to see it wasn’t missed. I originally was going to wait for a week before doing anything involving social media, even this website. However, I watched Gone Girl, and I was in awe. While I’m still very young, 18, and I have not gone through most of the hardships of most of the men on this site, I try to learn in order to adapt. My grandfather once told me, as a lesson when spearfishing, “keep your eyes open”. The lesson was that even though some of the fish we were looking forward to “fish” were bright in colors (Red Snapper and the like) a lot of fish go by unoticed, and are very hard to see. They blend in, having adapted to the color of the water. After watching this film, and hearing personal anecdotes from men on this site, I have decided to “disappear” from social media, and to “cover my tracks”. While I will check this website on a daily basis, I have concluded that even though I have not had the misfortune of a divorce, or a false allegation of rape, criminal charges due to lies spewed by harpies, I have to be aware of the danger. It’s easy to stop looking over your shoulder, and get comfortable, and the consequences could even be fatal. Thus I am “gone”, abstinent, minimal contact with people (it’s not just the women that’ll get ya), no longer on social media, little social life, focus on my studies and and my goals, as well. I’d rather pay $60 for a fleshlight, rather than f~~~ing the clueless, moronic chicks in my university. And now that it is implementing the “Yes Means Yes” mentality, even more so. Going to slip past unseen, and unscathed. Hope to hear more from experiences of “opting out” of social media. Good luck.

    I hear you loud and clear, nice guy. The pros and cons for opting or not opting our are by a landslide opting out. You have one life to live, a finite time here to make your mark. So, why would anyone with common-sense want to waste the majority of it with surface level banter on the internet. This website is a wonderful resource, perhaps one of the best on the internet, but it is still on the internet. I am not trying to hate on this website one bit here, just trying to say that you don’t have to be on this website to do your own thing. There is no cookie-cutter form of going your own way.

    I will have to also say most people choosing to do their own thing are by far in the minority. Not letting social pressures dictate your life for you is the greatest thing a person can do, in my opinion. Unless being a content wage slave is your thing.

    Yeah my facebook is fake too and filled with fake info. Facebook vows to weed out and terminate such accounts, but I have yet to have it happen to me. 🙂

    As much as Facebook might be bothersome, if you have friends, acquaintances, colleagues or groups you need to have access to it might be wise to:

    Turn off game/app services.
    Turn off your wall.
    Turn off tagging capabilities.

    Set your profile picture privacy setting to “Me only”, that way your profile picture will be shown but people can not click it and comment.

    Voila. You have a clean account with your name and photo, no wall, and the only way to communicate with you is through messages.

    Rennie: I used a common abbreviation of my middle name and my real last name but with all the other details off-center enough (and a cartoon avatar) so that no one that I know can possibly find me, but with regards to sweepstakes I can justify since it is a variation of my legal name. Note that I’d never used FB and Twitter before, but I did long ago experience the endless annoying soul-draining hell otherwise known as AOL Instant Messaging and I had to cut all ties with everyone in short order who had my id, so I knew ahead of time what FB and Twitter would be like.
