Woman instantly wants to cancel date after discovering his Facebook activity
A woman wants to cancel a date with a man after seeing the kinds of photos he uploads online. She met him through a mutual friend while out at a bar recently and have been texting each other over WhatsApp ever since. They have a date planned for the weekend but beforehand, they decided to follow each other on Facebook.
She went on to say that he's incredibly active on the social media site, posting stories every day of himself walking his dog, getting a Starbucks coffee and his dinner. He also posts photos every time he goes out. The woman's issue isn't just that he posts photos but also the fact that in them, he always looks serious and brooding, "like a male model".
"He went and travelled to a nearby city abroad recently, twice, and on each occasion posted a photo of him stood in front of the plane," she posted to the Am I Being Unreasonable forum on Mumsnet. "Again, with his serious brooding intense face, looking away from the camera into the distance like he didn't know he was having his photo taken. You'd think it was a private jet and he was a male Instagram influencer by the way he was stood in front of it, but the planes had RyanAir plastered all over it.
"We'd planned the date before I'd seen all of this. Would this put you off a guy?" She added that he's not a young person who grew up around social media, sharing that he's in his mid-30s. Most commenters agreed with the woman, saying they'd be apprehensive about meeting up with him. "He sounds pretty deficient in the sense of humour department, which would put me off personally," one person wrote.
"I think if his behaviour is already feeling off to you, or not in line with your instincts about what's okay or 'normal' and what isn't, I would call the date off. If you feel like this now, how will you feel when he starts doing this in front of you - wanting to post selfies when out with you? It's already annoying and you've only just met. Go with your gut instinct," another shared. "Some people are just attention seekers. Social media actually tells you a lot about a person - especially their need to be constantly proving themselves to others. I prefer a man who is quietly confident," a third commented. A fourth added: "Oh gosh no. Run. Every time you go out he'll be asking you to take pics of him."

Other people thought that there was a chance she was judging him too harshly. "It's just a hobby, calling him a knob and attention seeker is a bit much. I'd still give him a chance. But only you know how you feel," a different person wrote. Another commented: "I'd definitely give him a chance, it doesn't sound that bad but I've had much worse. I once cancelled a date when social media trawling revealed he'd called the mother of his child a c**t."
