How is it parasocial to wonder why he's never seen with a woman unless he's dating them? Some of his friends post when then where with him. Like Seth. What is Seth? A MAN.
Because you donāt know him? Or his life?
Heās a stranger. You canāt say āhe is this wayā based on social media posts. You canāt say āhe has no women in his life he doesnāt want to fuckā simply because you donāt see them on social media.
You see what we are permitted to see. He allows glimpses into his life.
Does he not have a relationship with his family because he doesnāt post them? Or other people he follows on social media and comments but doesnāt post? Does he only have relationships via posts?
Itās illogical to assume we know who he spends his time with just because of Instagram posts, especially when he barely uses social media now if itās not to promote work. He posts and disappears.
We do not know him or his life. Not really. There arenāt glimpses into his life past a few.
Instagram =/= reality. You (general āyouā) canāt possibly know what heās doing with who outside of those pictures. If he didnāt post with Elena or other girlfriends (and she didnāt post him), would the idea that he has no women in his life be quite the same? Or would the narrative shift?
Maybe - just maybe - heās not seen with women to avoid speculation about their relationship. Thatās an option and possibility here!
He has men as friends, yes. They post him on occasion. But itās not THAT often.
Thatās why itās parasocial ā itās emotionally assuming something about a stranger based on personal vibes and feelings.
Maybe he has more men in his life than women. Maybe he doesnāt. Unless youāre in his circle, people donāt really know anything about him. Everything is assumptions.
And I guess someone could argue I donāt know if he has women as friends either, which is true! I donāt know! But I also canāt say he does NOT.
Social media gives ideas about who someone is, but at the end of the day we just donāt know.
(And my own being a fan of someone can be parasocial! Itās all about how you approach it!)
