For starts, he avoids wasting time on FB.
Never heard of him but he sort of sounds like a dbag from the descriptions here...
Agreed, I feel like half of it is definitely upbringing/connections. At the same time though I feel like I see him post stories doing cool shit at like 4pm on a random Tuesday all the time. Like, how do I get to do cool shit on a Tuesday afternoon.
I am tired of all the social pressure in gay community. Thinking about how cool someone else is and aiming to live a life as fantasizing as their Instagram is meaningless OP. You gotta live a life that is truly beneficial to you. Spend more time on thinking about your own life instead of wasting half your day posing gestures, taking pictures, and then uploading to Instagram in order to ask other people's verification that you are AWESOME! :)
Just checked his insta and it looks kind of lame and overcurated, BUT I know folks who actually live the lifestyle he seems to be trying to portray while they're in B-school. So maybe take two years and get it out of your system?
Not sure what you mean by a celebrity like lifestyle but if you're basing it off his Instagram it's pretty easy to get invited to events and travel if you're good looking and connected
Think about how much work he has to do to upload one picture OP. He has to find a person who is willing to take his picture, spend time taking several pictures and find the best looking one, and then use photo editing tool and make this pic unrealistically attractive, all for uploading and waiting for thumbs up. If you ask me OP, I would not call it "celebrity lifestyle" and "living adequately". At least celebrities don't take their own pictures lol.
Think about Anderson Cooper and Tim Cook. They are hardcore gay celebrities, and they ain't taking pictures of their abs and uploading to Facebook.
He generates content and then just posts shit later.
Yeah - he seems to be trying for a modeling career with that Instagram - maybe get paid to endorse stuff? Not feeling it.
Also, he seems basic with some of those captions.
Just to be clear, I in no way aspire to be like that. I'm just generally curious how he does it because it seems unreal haha.
And @EY1, I think that's my point. I'm just generally confused as to how he's a consultant and has the amount of time to dedicate to these photos. I actually don't follow any of them on social media (I think it's toxic) but I have friends that fawn over them.
Lol. Thanks guys.
Yes OP I agree. A lot of my friends are indulged in the Instagram mafia as well. I am just upset to see they spend a big chunk of time everyday envying others' lives. They should try to explore what their own lives have to offer. And as for the Sam guy, well let's hope he is not getting caught by his SM. Because the job we do is so spontaneity focused, it's easy to lose track of your work as much as to over commit on your engagement.
@EY1, same feelings here. I made this post after leaving the bar with a friend. He saw one of these guys, talked to him and then was crushed when he was an asshole. It's just sad to see people put so much of their own life into someone else's digital life
His Instagram is very underwhelming. I was expecting Adam Gallagher level content
Yeah OP. We tend forget that pictures are created to convey information, not information itself. It's like jam theory. When given three options of jam people know exactly which to buy. When given thousands of options, people are addicted to going from one to the next, hoping better jam will come alone. Getting hooked with Instagram is just like that: spending hours trying to fantasize the next hot lifestyle that we haven't lived in. I am sorry to hear about your friend. And frankly I have been there too. It takes lots of determination to get out of this mindset when surrounded with other friends who are admiring this lifestyle too.
@PwC2 if it is actually you (I highly doubt it is) I'm sorry. But when anyone actively tries to get themselves in the public eye they need to realize the public will comment (good and bad).
@A1, I don't think I can say the guys a dbag without talking to him. I think he was genuinely delt good cards in life and is taking advantage of them. A lot of my friends don't realize that though and envy people like him. I don't think they realize Instagram is just the highlight reel.
