Get off IM, FaceBook, MySpace, and stop using SMS.

A site like myspace is not going to be inherently bad. Its how you use it that could be bad. The thing i see AFC guys doing is posting in the public area of chick's myspace such as, "I had a really good time with you last night" posted publically. Something like that comes across as trying to brag to everyone else and also suggests that one's insecure because you insisted on telling her publically. The other thing that's AFC is guys commenting on chicks pictures telling them how pretty they are or begging for their attention in the public posting area.

I think if you have a nice clean site with a great picture, just some basic information about yourself, and strictly use the private messaging system to meet girls you'd otherwise never run into in real life, then you only stand to gain. I've used the private system and it almost feels like you're just once notch better because you don't feel like have to make it publically known that you're communicating with her.

What's better; going out on the town to meet chicks like you always would, or still doing that yet also using myspace on a rainy day too? Obviously, the latter case = more opportunities. A simple, clean page certainly wont hurt you or make you look juvenille. You're page (and music if applicable) is going to give off some kind of impression; just make sure that impression is manly, confident, and mature.

Use it right, and its another tool in your favor.

I agree with az. Myspace is gold if you use it right.

Facebook I never got into because like someone said it's college based and everyone kinda knows everyone else. Then again I've never really tried to do much with it.

IM I agree with. I only get on for a few minutes every now and then and if someone is online I'll fluff for a min and set up a get together. I never have prolonged convos there anymore.

SMS is great, but again you have to know how to use it. I prefer SMS to phone chat because it's much more to-the-point. Keep it short, schedule a get together, and that's it.

Basically what it comes down to is only talking as much as is necessary via these methods to meet up with a girl IRL.

Myspace I never really got into, it got pretty popular my senior year of high school but I never felt the need to make one. I do have a facebook, however. Every person I know, both friends from high school and all my college friends, has a profile, so it's a great way to stay in touch with everyone. I don't have any 'Personal Info,' and the only things on my profile are where I live, and the high school I went to, so I'm really not revealing that much about myself.

I've noticed pretty much the same thing with AIM, in that pretty much every person I know from high school and college uses it. I am signed online pretty much all the time, but I'm away for all but maybe like a half hour a day. That way, people who need to get in contact with me can leave me a message, but I don't just sit online at my computer and have long conversations with everybody.
