Anyone else hate MySpace/Facebook?

[Vice]

I used to use it to practice on girls and even meet a few of them, but now I've realized that it's pathetic and lame.

You know, it's alot like dating websites; the most attractive girls don't need to be on a dating site to get male attention. They can get it in the real world quite easily, and reap the benefits just as quickly, as opposed to online chat, where she has no idea who's really behind the other monitor.

Part of this dislike for MySpace/Facebook stems from the fact that a "friend" of mine (Whom I've removed from my life) used to it make himself seem like a cool, fun guy, and started saying false things about me that caused a girl to leave me two days before my High School Senior Prom. They hung out that night, and he was too much of a ***** to escalate, and I found out later that they had an "awkward" first kiss about a week later, and that SHE was reassuring HIM that "first kisses are always awkward". I met this girl on myspace.

I personally only use my MySpace/Facebook so that my friends have a way of contacting me and seeing what I look like whenever I update my picture. My profile isn't decked out with crazy HTML, it just has a handful of photos that show my interests. There is no "about me", except "Hi, I'm vice". There is no "who i'd like to meet". I also have a playlist of my favorite songs. I maintain ONE picture, and (I'm starting to) never post bulletins.

Remember, if a girl is willing to meet you just because you can write up a few clever words and put off a cool vibe, what will stop her meet almost anyone else who does a similar thing?

MySpace/Facebook is for women, gays, and WEAK MEN.

What the hell did you expect trying to hook up with women over the internet?

Don't give up all together on MySpace/Facebook though. It's a great tool to keep in touch with people you ALREADY KNOW.

At my college, we aren't supposed to have cellphones turned on during classes, so we just message each other on myspace. I can't tell you how many times myspace has rescued my afternoon from the fierce boredom of Economics class. They have that nifty mobsters game that I like to play too.
