I was just browsing Myspace and just out of curiousity I wanted to see how many women were on there between the ages of 27-36 near my area. I normally browse 21-30. So on the first page and the first attractive girl I see I click on. She's 28 and I notice right away on her page she has a blog titled, Old people and myspace--they DON’T go together!!!!
Now she makes a "reasonable" albeit extreme and condenscending example of the type of guy she's talking about. But I'm sure her attitude is really towards any guy over 25 or so:
Old people and myspace--they DON’T go together!!!!
Current mood: amused
Ok, ok...I know I am going to come off as a pretentious ***** by writing this, but hear me out before you start making snide comments...
Old people and myspace do not go together.
Let me clarify. Old MEN who only have pictures of pretty young girls (who they have no chance in hell of ever meeting in person) listed as their "friends" do not belong on myspace.
I cannot tell you how many times I get a friend request from some random. These creep-o's are getting smarter as they navigate myspace: if their page is private, the main screen that comes up before you can view their page usually says something like this: "Male, Cleveland" and has an undistinguishable picture of themselves on the front. Thinking that maybe I possibly know them--or maybe it is some long lost relative looking to make me the heir to their estate--I initially accept their request simply so I can view their page and see who they are.
9 times out of 10 when I click on their page it turns out to be some disgusting 40 something year old gross guy, who barely has a high school education, has tricked out his page with really cool (read: so not cool) pictures of his 1984 Camaro, and who just happens to be "friends" with the most beautiful girls you've ever seen!
Really??? Old man, are you REALLY friends with those girls?
And, ladies---why the hell are you accepting this grossness as your "friend"???? You know if a guy like him walked up to you in a bar you would not be caught dead talking to him! Why allow the creep-o to post "hump day" glitter-graphics on your page??? Or ridiculous pictures of teddy bears, or Have a Great weekend comments? Do you really want this guy--who probably still lives in his mom's basement--wishing you a good weekend, glitter graphics and all??? I don't think so.
One word: EWE.
