A first impression didn’t get the chance to play out in person after a Massachusetts influencer’s date was cancelled because of her social media posts. The man felt uncomfortable with what he saw, and she believed he judged her unfairly. In a video posted on Reddit, the influencer sat in her car and narrated the ordeal. “My date just cancelled on me tonight because he found my TikTok,” she said, describing how unfortunate it was that this was the first time social media had become a “detriment” to her.
She went on to explain that she only presents a personality online, emphasizing, “By no means is that who I am as a person.” The influencer added that she had been looking forward to the date and didn’t feel good about it being cancelled. She expressed how social media often tries to box her into being perfect.
“You’ve found my social media first before actually getting to know me,” she said, repeating that it “sucks,” as she described herself as a good person. “For anyone that finds my social media without knowing me, get to know me first, and then you can judge me,” she added, staying optimistic and trusting that what is meant for her won’t pass her by. However, the comment section was far less sympathetic. Users openly dissected her life as an influencer.
“So I looked up her TikTok, and I honestly don’t blame him for cancelling because I probably would have too. She specifically makes TikToks talking about her various dates, usually in a,” someone wrote. Another person stated firmly, “Wild choice to air out dirty laundry on TikTok like that, total red flag.” A third commenter added, “Thank you for taking one for the team (actually looking up her videos). As I listened to her in the video above, I just knew she was hiding something. She was suspiciously vague about her content and tried to dismiss it as nothing but ‘a persona’ and ‘entertainment’.”
Someone else pointed out how one-sided her video seemed, writing, “She never, not once, addressed why he canceled their date after seeing her TikTok videos. No sensible person would want to go on a date with someone who may or may not trash them in a video the next day.” Another user challenged her logic, adding:
“‘Don’t judge me based on my social media, you don’t know me,’ girl, you literally said everybody does it. If you don’t want people to have opinions on you based on your online presence, don’t have an online presence. Or have as neutral an online presence as possible.”
Someone else criticized, “Cancelled for my social media posting. So I go on social media, to post about my date being cancelled because of social posting. I feel we have created a generation of dimwit youngsters that have an entirely skewed sense of reality or how humans are supposed to function.” Another person attacked the behavior directly, comparing the influencer to Taylor Swift. “Wow. You dated Taylor Swift, broke up, and she wrote a song about you? How surprising. Why would anyone want to date someone who ALWAYS puts their date on blast publicly?” the comment read.
