How Social Media Clout BACKFIRED in My Dating Life
193 segments
For those of you thinking that you need
to have a big Instagram account and to
have a lot of status online to date the
hottest girls, you'd actually be
mistaken. What I've learned is that
since I actually became successful and
had a big Instagram account, my dating
life was much more challenging because
you're judged immediately. And actually,
a lot of women get overwhelmed. And I'm
noticing there's a bit of a turn at the
moment where some women will actually
find if you don't have Instagram,
they're more attracted to you because
you're more mysterious and you're going
against the grain. Whereas if you do
have a big Instagram page and you're
posting like a bit of a clown,
then she's like, "Oh, you're just like
all the other dudes trying to show off,
trying to be the big man." It actually
works against you. So, it's been super
interesting. I found love before I found
success. And the love I found before
success was way more meaningful and deep
than the relationships that I found post
success. The relationships I found post
success weren't really as deep because
they realized I had money and freedom
and then they would see my Instagram
account or they'd see that I've got a
YouTube page and I'm putting myself out
there and actually the girls would get a
bit overwhelmed. They're like, "Oh, I
don't really want to be with someone
who's like traveling all over the world
and going to the coolest parties. That's
not really really what I'm looking for.
Most of these girls are actually looking
for like a good, honest guy who works
hard, who look after them, who stays
lowkey." So, there's a there's a shift
in and what an attractive man actually
looks like these days. And it isn't
necessarily high social status. Social
status definitely does attract a lot of
type of women, but I'm finding that it's
attracting the wrong type of women. It's
the women that also want to grow their
social media pages. Women that also want
to be flown around and taken to nice
places. They're the ones that attach to
you once they see that you've got a nice
Instagram page. Now, actually, I've
considered opening another Instagram
account and keeping it super low-key and
having like 9 10 professional nice
pictures of me with close friends, a few
hundred followers, and giving that to
the highquality women that I meet.
Because honestly, when I share my
Instagram with highquality women, right?
When I say highquality women, I'm
talking about girls who are not
attention-seeking, who don't have big
Instagram pages, they're beautiful, but
they're low-key, right? Those are the
high quality women I'm talking about,
especially meeting loads of them in
Bucharest, Romania, when they see my big
Instagram page, they would get
overwhelmed and they'd be like, "Oh,
this is a bit much." Like, ah, like,
where's this guy going to be tomorrow?
And this guy gets invited to the coolest
parties and this guy's like flying
around everywhere. And like, I don't
really want that. I just want like a
low-key dude. And this guy's also quite
overwhelming in the sense that he really
puts his opinions out there to the world
and he's he's masculine and he's
opinionated and he's disagreeable. They
don't really like that. They kind of
just want you to be this guy walking
around in a suit over here. I'm actually
in Riyad. I'm in the uh King Abdullah
Financial Center today. I came here for
a meeting. I've come here to raise
capital for my for my new investment
fund as I've spoken about on numerous
occasions. I'm in the Middle East for
the next 3 months raising a series A
round for my business which I'll talk
about in videos to come. I basically
built a quant algo trading platform.
It's like military grade pattern
intelligence that I can put on any
chart. I've just chosen to do it on
crypto because it's more volatile and
there's there's more to be taken from
the market. You're not up against the
big institutions. You're up against more
retail investors. So, it's easier to
take the win. So I've actually done
about 15% return in the last 30 days. So
that's my real focus in the next 3
months, this whole year actually. That's
my sole focus. So less partying like a
Dumbo in Miami and more professionalism,
more capital raising, more dressing
well, and more hanging out in these
sorts of spots. So, back to the matter
at hand. Most of these women are just
looking for a nice, well-dressed guy
who's got a decent job or a business,
who is pretty low-key, who's not putting
himself out there all the time, who's
not overly opinionated, who's not overly
disagreeable all the time because she
doesn't want to have to, you know, climb
a mountain every single time she's
having a conversation, right? I'm a
difficult guy to deal with and a
difficult guy to live with because I
like things very particular, right? I'm
very disagreeable. like, you know, I I
think I know everything and so it's hard
to tell me otherwise. And she's probably
going to be looking for a guy who's
occasionally going to say, "Okay, babe,
I'll let you have this one." Whether
I'll be like, "Nah, you're not having
this one." Like, this it's my world. I'm
the master of my own universe. I run
this You're just here for the
ride. That isn't necessarily always a
good thing, especially if you have a big
personality and a big personality
online, which I'm not saying I've got a
massive like online presence, right?
I've got like 70,000 followers on
Instagram and relatively small YouTube
channel, which is less than 10K subs,
but you know, I've got a great like I've
got a great community on my YouTube. I
don't think it's necessarily about
having millions of people on YouTube. I
think it's about having an engaged
community. And and so women still get
overwhelmed when they see my YouTube
page and my Instagram and they're like,
"Oh, you're so opinionated about this
stuff." So if you don't have a big IG
page, fear not. You're probably in the
percentage of guys who are probably
going to do better with good quality
women. I'm almost thinking about
creating a new Instagram page and giving
out to the highquality girls that I
meet. Now, to the girls that I meet in
Dubai and the girls that I meet in Miami
and they see my current Instagram, yes,
they're interested because they're like,
"Okay, this guy fits in a certain branch
of social status, I can keep hanging
around with him." But when you meet
highquality girls, whether it be, I
don't know, in Riad, in in Bucharest,
mainly in Eastern Europe these days,
those are the highest quality women I
have met are still in Eastern Europe.
When you meet those girls and they don't
have a big IG page, when they see your
IG page, they're like, "Uh, nah, this is
like too much, you I don't want to have
to deal with this So,
my having a certain level of social
status actually damaged my dating life.
I had better, more meaningful
relationships before I made any of this
money before I had a big big Instagram
page. They were more meaningful. They
were more real. And they weren't
attached to any sign of status. It was
attached to me, my ambition, my looks,
my charisma, my confidence. That's why
those women fell in love with me.
Now, if I meet a woman and she just so
happens to like me, I'm thinking, does
she like me for who I am or does she
like me for what I am?
And there lies the

The speaker challenges the notion that a high social status or a large Instagram following is necessary to date high-quality women, arguing that it can actually be a disadvantage. He reflects on how his relationships were more meaningful before his success and how many high-quality women are overwhelmed by flashy online personas. While currently in Riyadh raising capital for a new trading platform, he discusses his plan to maintain a more low-key presence to attract authentic partners who value his character over his wealth and status.
