Mid 30s man. Had a wild ride in my earlier years, ticked alot of boxes but that was then. 60+ count (like that matters, just tryna set my mental state).

My problem is this. I used to have status as a degenerate from 17, known for good sex, access to drug fuelled sessions, sharing, but it was all in person but it was before the online branding today. i knew plausible deniability naturally and it was just partying.

Ive never really liked the online space and havent invested even as they grew. I joined Facebook when it looked like myspace. I value my privacy above anything and wont concede.

However, this limits status today in this wierd marketplace. I can do cold approach without fear but dont live in a big city.

My question is, and i already think i know the answer, am i left behind my prioritising privacy over status as a man in 2021? Has anyone has the same conflict of not sharing anything, acting naturally incase its shared?
