My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

    I have a few. And I’m not even that old (mid thirties)

    • People who talk on phone calls using airpods or similar look ridiculous in public, like they’re utter lunatics talking to themselves or their imaginary friend.

    • people who view life through their mobile phones are unfortunate and sad. Like…why pay money to go see a gig if you’re going to view it through your phone screen? I went to a wedding last week and I was one of the very few who was actually watching the procession with my own eyes rather through a camera app.

    • Not being on social media should be an accepted norm, not a fucking exception. This is an issue when dating, unbelievably.

      I went to a wedding last week and I was one of the very few who was actually watching the procession with my own eyes rather through a camera app.

      Exactly why that during our wedding we made a PSA to not take pictures or videos, and we have a dedicated professional taking care of that and we’ll give access to those photos after.

      The not being on social media one sucks when dating for sure.

      “How do I know you aren’t a weirdo, creep, stalker etc?”

      “You don’t and me having social media wouldn’t change that either.”

      Sure I could play ball and make myself a presence but honestly I’m happy enough being single that I’ll gladly dodge any lady who isn’t on board with my lack of social media.

      Just a shame that in a numbers game that a relatively high proportion choose such a non issue to be a sticking point.

        I think the numbers may work in your favor the other way. The coolest / funnest / most interesting people I know have minimal or no social media presence. There are fewer of them, sure, but a much higher percentage of them are cool people vs the mindless drones who see everything in life as a photo op which they can post on their curated online persona’s webpages.
