I'm 39 single not been married. Kind of new in my city. Just got out of a 2 year relationship with my last girlfriend a few months ago. I want to date a lot of women, and get in my one thousand approaches.

I am planning on traveling a lot over the next year though and meet a lot of travelers.

I had about 100 friends on facebook, but now I trimmed it down to like 38.

Is facebook a big deal these days when trying to date? I was wanting to just delete it as I am trying to change my life a lot and the facebook page is pretty depressing to me.

How important if at all is it to have a facebook account? Other good ways to network?

Thanks!

To each his own. Facebook isn't necessary but I use it to keep track of my friends. I do have a decent amount so that is why I keep it. I also tend to meet other people (friends of friends). Up to you really. Probably deactivate your account for awhile and then reactivate when you are ready to come back.

My Facebook is not at all linked to my PUA life. I use it the way it's supposed to be used, add and keep in touch with friends I may not see everyday, post some pics every now and then, see what others are up to and I use it a lot to organise events. Other than that, the only time I use it in my PUA life is to check out girls I may have gotten their number and name of and maybe already K-closed yet don't insist on seeing again in person.

However I never use it to open some girl I have seen around. Makes you look like a wuss, not daring to speak to her in real life, adding her on Facebook and then opening her through some private message.

Another things which might be silly yet I think a lot of people do is use it as a social validation. Looking at one's friends and photos may give them a very bright image of you. Having a lot of friends and being tagged in a lot of events and parties' pictures makes you look like a very social person which most outgoing women dig. Your pictures also reflect a lot of yourself when they don't know you in person that well. It's kind of an indirect business card.

If you're addicted to it, delete it. If you're just thinking of deleting it because its concept makes you depressed, you can.

From what I understand, it's the second for you, so I don't see a reason to delete it- just don't use it.

If you're afraid of the contact responsibility that social media puts on you (the fact that you're metaphorically already there and people understand this, so they expect you to contact them back if they leave something on your wall), then delete it (this shouldn't be that big of a deal and is mainly true in texting+emails).

If you're afraid that it might make you look bad somehow once a girl looks you up, make it private and as appealing as you morally can. If anyone asks, you don't go on it a lot.
