Hello!
What has happened to the way we communicate? Before these 'social' networking atrocities I remember a less ego-centric and vain world. Don't get me wrong, I'm young. I understand these things completely and how they work. I have a Facebook account and use it frequently. I'm part of the problem. However, it seems the common person uses these networks not for communication but rather as sources for validation and ego inflation. It's all one big popularity contest. We all seem to 'like' each others photos out of loyalty and because we know the more likes the more value you seemingly have. I don't like it or agree with it but I play the game anyway because it works. But is this the future of dating? Such a superficial world.
I dont have snapchat but its really starting to annoy me. I can't go to clubs, pubs or dates without the woman whipping her phone out and snapchatting her coffee, a selfie or a picture of me and her to her friends. Does this not seem so messed up to you guys? I've lurked SoSuave for a year but never posted. I decided to post tonight because I want to know what you guys think, I've always liked the ideas being bounced around this forum and it seems there are some great minds here. Let me know what you all think, do you guys do the exact same thing?
