'I don’t get why he was liking photos of this basic girl. Does he think she’s prettier than me?'

TikTok wasn’t the only place social media users gushed about having an offline partner.For avid social media users , looking someone up on a platform is commonplace.

Recently, though, like the women on TikTok, I’ve started appreciating the idea of an offline boyfriend. There’s just something so attractive about a partner that doesn’t feel the need to post their entire life online and doesn’t care about pop culture all too much. Sometimes, it’s really refreshing that he’s like that. I like that our dates consist of us talking and discussing interesting topics — after I’ve taken copious food pics, though.While Instagram is lovely, I’m fairly certain it’s part of the reason I struggle with self-esteem issues on occasions.

As a former social media manager, my colleague knew the perils of spending way too much time online and the feelings of insecurity that often creep up. Now that influencers can purchase ads to boost the popularity of their accounts, Natalie has been served ads of the influencers her partner has liked and followed.
