Originally posted by Lira I've been thinking about creating an Instagram account, but should I bother doing it before I get really shredded and travel the world shirtless documenting my every meal? There has got to be more to it than this

It's mainly for selling protein powder in pyramid schemes these days

Beefcake 4000?

Instagram post:

Yall check out my free range Turkey I bought. I'm baking it now and it smells delish!

I just take pictures of the trees in my backyard

I'm trying to earn enough so my unborn daughter doesn;t have to sell Protein powder on Instagram.

Seriously, instagram is a visual platform, but that's not to say you don't get great engagement. Sure you can set up an account for your cat/dog/chinchilla and have a couple of thousand followers in a month, or you can just post pictures of latin chicks with surgical enhancments and have thousands of bots, but honestly, the platform is what you make it.

For businesses that actually sell physical items or IP, the engagement is far better than FB and unlike facebook, there's no throttle on who sees it - your entire base of followers see you posts and then the way it's algorithm works, people who are a connection away get to see it so the viral effect is incredible. It does somewhat learn to trending, so popular posts get more play etc, but you can build a really good base and nothing really presents like it.

As for bots, yes, it's rife but that's really only on the bot trends, so if you're pursuing certain hash tags it's going to be a cluster but a little thought gets you to the right people. unless you're one of those girls that's bio says "for commercial enquiries" and all their pics are of them in dubai or Ibiza. Apparently even some celebs supplement their income this way.

I was kinda wondering what TAs look like, so I appreciate it at least.

I'd prefer someone who's at least somewhat proud of how they look sometimes to someone who's merely insecure. I also quite enjoy other people's selfies at times. The people who post a new one every week with a sad look fishing for compliments suck but I do enjoy people who post the occasional one with a variety of clothes, expressions and hairstyles. With everything it's about balance but personally AFAIK I prefer people to be more vain than average.

I'd far prefer someone who has 6 different selfies on their profile with a variety of expressions that indirectly portray and express their personality than someone who is massively insecure so only takes pictures of themselves rarely.

Nearly missed that one.

Should I be offering congratulations?

It's a great opportunity to post pictures of you looking accidentally sexy. And of course a picture of the beach with your outstretched feet in the foreground.

Thanks.

My mom has a small kitchen, cooking for the holidays there is stressful and chaotic. I decided this year to cook it ahead of time so I can actually enjoy Thanksgiving.

look at IGK being all human

LOL, thanks but no. A kid on the way would probably send me over the edge. I have enough trouble looking after two kittens, let alone a baby.

Oooohhhhh, the coin has just dropped! You're Jon Snow because you know nothing but you gotta know! I had not linked the dots until now

I'm not a Game of Thrones fan, don't judge me!

The fact you are apparently 23 years old is difficult to fathom.

I'm also very confused by who these other 23-year-olds are that he is apparently hanging out with. (Although, as we saw from his Instagram, there clearly aren't too many of them.) They sound like fucking 12-year-olds. Sad look, fishing for compliments? Christ. Not to mention that they also look like 12-year-olds, again judging from the Instagram. Very, very fucking confusing.

I wonder where the line is that separates vanity from insecurity? They must exist on the same spectrum of narcissistic personality disorders..no?

It seems pretty obvious that people with a healthy ego don't require a lot of validation from others, so naturally it would follow that someone who constantly seeks validation does not have a healthy ego.


Anyone? Where Chimney at?

Originally posted by Psyshell I also find that random girls are way more likely to like your photos on Instagram than Facebook. So it's quite useful to know who might be keen. I do have an Instagram account and I'd be interested in seeing other people's if they want to share. https://www.instagram.com/liam_h_david/?hl=en

I don't get it. Are you a male transitioning to female, or the other way around?

I know an awkward face when I see one.

You were a little slow on the up take but better late than never. So how did my pic of the turkey lead to your epiphany?

Even though the turkey turned out great it was pre brined and some complained it was too salty. I tended to agree although not to the point where it was bad.

Some of your guests are dicks then. My free food on a holiday was a bit salty? Cry about it. Ask to be invited to THEIR thanksgiving next year, to put the pressure on. That turkey better be perfect
