Nowadays, the new word used on social media platforms for dating is "Gatsbying". There are people who make videos of themselves and keep on social media for attracting attention of people one likes. Do tell me what you feel about it? Share your experiences with me.

I haven't tried it. I had seen some people do it though. I think it is not a good way to find a date.

It's like a lingo used to refer to people who want to get attention thus they post their pics or videos

@Rashnag Maybe not so much, because still many people don't know it.

The term would be based upon F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby.

Ah I hadn't heard the term used that way. Wonder if it stems from the "Great Gatsby" it would seem to fit.

That word has suddenly become viral and I see a lot of them using it on social media. I prefer not to post any of my personal stuff on social media and so it is not for me.
