oh sh!t...i wish i never started a facebook

[h2o]

What I hate is that everyone practically knows everyone. I just met this girl today, and it looks like she is good friends with a girl I number closed a while back…not good. Well, wtf then, this will suck, because if everyone is networked, it won’t be long before I’ll be on every girl’s radar as the guy to watch out for because he’s gonna sarge you.

Wtf, facebook takes the excitement out of meeting people in reality. I started mine a few days ago, and I have like 7 or 8 “friends” on there. Someone made me make an account. I really wouldn’t have. I’m going to ask people to “facebook-me” either. I’ve only added two people myself, the others searched me up on their own.

I don’t see the point of this. You don’t need to organize your friends. You have a phone. And what’s worse, I see tons of guys and girls just putting their mobile numbers up on their profiles…why? Am I the only one that sees that as a privacy issue? Who would want people calling them constantly, or unwarranted. I don’t just give out my mobile number to everyone.

Anyway, I’d rather keep a low profile, and this isn’t helping so I’m tearing mine down.

this thread was nearly completely pointless...so on that note, i warn anyone who likes to sarge a lot on campus to not start a facebook. it is detrimental to your sarging. try to keep a low profile.

It's not detremental. Just don't be one of the ass clowns who has 100 friends and is only friends with 10 of them. I'm only 'facebook friends' with people who I hang out with in real life and are good friends of mine, thus I only have 11 'facebook' friends from my school.

 

[frivolousz21]

i know..I have 240 myspace friends..and it was useless.

yea thats about 200 girls over 7 monhts who wanted to meet me.

crazy shyt the internet is.

my gf has facebook and has 90 friends...she prolly talks to 15 of them tops.


she is in for a rude awakening when she graduates college this yr.

You’re Tripin.

You’re not going to be on every girl’s radar.

You’re being really paranoid over nothing.

So what the chick you number close knows another girl that you know.

Who cares?

Is the other girl your GF?

NO

So what’s the big deal?

If anything it may give you some social status points.

Maybe the girl you didn’t number close will be thinking (if she ever found out about the other girl) why didn’t you ask her number. She’s not better looking then I am? Hmm…

Unless you’re a rapist or some weirdo freak then this isn’t going to hurt you.

Get a grip.

And who cares what other people do and if they put their numbers out. Maybe they don’t care who calls. Maybe their not as paranoid as you and maybe they want to meet new people who are really interested in them and aren’t afraid to dial a number like that.
Who knows maybe that guy gets a lot of girls that way.

And Friv,

my gf has facebook and has 90 friends...she prolly talks to 15 of them tops.

she is in for a rude awakening when she graduates college this yr.

What does that mean?

I thought you weren’t going to be controlling?

Why the change getting a little nervous are we?

WTF THE ARE U TALKING ABOUT?
dude wtf is wrong with u



I honestly dont understand how you construe controlling and beign nervous from that statement.

your negative state of mind and text book responses are amazing.



her rude awakening is realizing or accepting she wont be able to maintain the same friendships she has now

 

[frivolousz21]

H2O- point about it is that is for social status in college.

the more friends you have the "cooler" you are.


which is a joke.


college is like a adolescent extention of hs..actually in some respects its more childish than hs.







and its pretty sad that you and some others.......are hoping my girl leaves me so I can join your world..where women are evil...I hope one day you let go the pain in ur heart

That’s what people say when you don't have a lot.

And about my other comment dude I was just messing with you.

When I quickly read that it just look like you were going to make her stop talking to all her college friends.

Jeezz you freaked out like my mother

and its pretty sad that you and some others.......are hoping my girl leaves me so I can join your world..where women are evil...I hope one day you let go the pain in ur heart

And no I do not wish that upon you. And FYI I have no pain in my heart.

Friv your just all…,

Hmmmm what’s the word Thumper used,......ah yes, Twitterpated.

 

[frivolousz21]

Hmmmm what’s the word Thumper used

thumper reminds me of the old game twisted metal

that's what i mean. i see some people on there that i know stay in their rooms all day long, yet they have 104 "friends"? how does that work. their "coolness" factor is obviously based on different things than what i perceive it as. Like I met this one dude once, and he barely even talked, yet I’m just browsing profiles last night, and he has 300 something friends? Yeah right.

still, i know a lot of people that spend a lot of time on there, sort of like myspace. you know what i hate most though? i hate those people who like to say they love meeting people on their myspace or facebook profiles, yet you've ran into them in real-life and they barely even talk to you. it's silly. actually, i don't honestly "hate" anyone, i just have less respect for those with lack of self-respect who lie to themselves.

Thing is though, I talk to plenty of people, i get invited to parties and to hang-out, it's not like i don't have friends and acquaintances. I just met 3 other new people yesterday. But I seriously don’t talk to everyone on a daily or even weekly basis, if I really facebook-ed everyone I met starting last year I’d have over a thousand “friends,” but who cares, I’m happy with my social life, what really is the point. Actually, when I see people who have hundreds of friends, I personally think less of them than the ones who have like 30-50 people they actually hang with. Acquaintances are not “friends.” I also have friends who are “really cool” but not in college. I think the whole point is to show off…

And I really am not one of the "really cool" people but I really don't want to be that well-known...I like being sort of a private person in some ways and not spilling my everything to everyone. I know some these so-called "really cool" people, and I'll talk to anyone, so it's not like I haven't met or seen or talked to them. I guess it's just preference.

I never said that. I hope you and your girl are happy dude, and I don't think women are evil either, not at all. And I honestly have no real opinion of your relationship because I’ve never been in anything long-term…I was just messing around. And some of the threads you’ve made are a bit over the top with you crying with your girlfriend. But that’s about it.

just regards with this facebook thing, women talk a lot, so it's only a matter of time before they search my name up and they're like..."oh yeah that guy's approached me too." you see, i thought approaching should be done in a way where it's not something you do to every girl, but it makes my sarging seem a lot more trivial this way. and it's not like i "have" to sarge, i just find it a really awesome thing to be able to improve your approach your skills and be able to hook-up with girls you see anywhere. most guys can't do that, so it's neat to be skilled at it, and perfect my style.

Or the positive outlook might be "hey you know that guy too? ya he talked to me as well, he's a really cool guy etc."

 

[h2o]

Yeah, just browsing the forum, and I see my concern is much like the guys who are all scared about Neil revealing secrets, the Game becoming well-known in the public, etc. The whole community being publicized, so-to-speak.

If you get why they are worried, you'll get what I mean. With things like facebook, GirlA would ask her friend how she met me on her facebook. GirlB would say that I approached her, and then GirlA may possibly say, "oh yeah, he approached me once..." or, "oh, I saw him approaching another girl once," or, "oh... (and this case, have her guard up if I approach her in the future...

What I'm saying is, not all my past approaches were great. Last time I started sarging a ton, was to get over my fears of approaching, and I made a fool of myself a lot. True, I don't care what other people think, but it's not so easy to change people's opinion when they already hold something on you.

I really enjoy just talking to girls now, and having fun in those interactions, but I'm growing constantly, and I used to be a lot more result-oriented a few months ago.

I don't know, looking at what you wrote green69...I think I'm thinking too much.

yea....I wasnt refering to you.

I understand where you guys are coming from.....

teh crying in front of her actually brought us alot closer.

makes her care for you a lot more...pending she already cares deeply for you.

and on why u are crying....I mean if u are crying because you feel guilty because say you cussed at your grandma in a heated moment or something...they will love that you feel compaasionate it about that.

but if ur crying because ur friends made fun of u then ur just a fycking pyssy.




and I wouldnt worry about the community being exposed.

I go out and see hardly any guys have game.

say 100-200K know of this stuff.

there are a billion single men in the wrold.

 

[worstepisode]

Yeah, the whole friend thing is ridiculous. I think in the beginning, a lot of people just add random people(people they have met once or people in there class that they don't even talk to) so that their profile doesn't seem so empty.

I don't see the point in it either, other than a system for procrastination. It doesn't have any other purpose than that. And then there's the poke. I poked this hot girl and after a few minutes, I started to think how bad of a move that was. Oh well.

 

[Oxide]

It is all about how YOU use it. I know it is very easy to get into the facebook craze and start browsing on it all day adding people you don't even know, but be SMART about it and you should do fine.


Here is what i did. Ok, in high school i wasnt "The popular" kid or anything, and all the real friends i've had are still in my phone, so i am not using facebook to add everyone i went to school with...

I signed up, and, mind you, didnt even tell anyone who knew me. (this is important later).

I searched for "Arizona State University" - THE HOTTEST girls i could find in 5 minutes.. not very hard, and did i mention i want to live down south? So i requested about 15 people.. i didnt even know any of these girls and never messaged them. I simply added them so i have THE EYE CANDY for all the suckers who evaluate a person based on the type of girls he knows. 9 of these girls added me, so now i had 9 friends in ASU, and i didnt even know their names.

I then joined "My group" - the sandman party house. This is my place, and one of the venues we use to get more people to our parties.


Next thing i know, my friend's GF requests me, my roommate does, people from my class start doing it... I laugh and add all of them.

Then it hits me - dude i have like 20 friends.. and i see these people with 140 or 230 or 450! (i am serious!) .. So i kind of look around for people i know well and add them, but i dont go out of my way and add random people.


Then i found out the REAL reason to use facebook, at least for me. Click on "My Parties" and every party that is being thrown in near future is listed. I was PRAYING someone would invent this my freshman year. This is the most convenient thing i have ever seen.

One day i get on facebook and receive a message -"Hey, you should stop by tonight" - from Tanya, a girl i've met for about 4 minutes at the dorms once. So if you want to fish and try to get with some girls that you've met but dont really have a connection with, you can try facebook. In my case Tanya was full of ****, so nothing happend.



So that is the good, now the ugly.

I started getting a lot of requests from people that... well let's say i havent kept in touch with lately... say like FOUR YEARS. ****ing people in my classes in HIGH SCHOOL would try to request me. People who go to school across the country, who do not talk to me, and who i didnt even really hang out with. WHY?! What the fvck?! I mean girls i've REJECTED in high school would try to add me. Insanity.


So, to sum this rant up - facebook is great for party searching, and for trying to hook up with girls you've casually met. But the whole friends thing/poking/flirting/status making/whatever else it is useless.


Almost forgot - a kid in my class, looks over on my facebook profile, sees the girls from ASU and gasps - "Dude, i want to be your friend!"
Ridiculous? Yes.

 

[undesputable]

yea keeping a low profile is the way to go personally. I dont have myspace or facebook....wel actually i do have a myspace but it was just to get an account, and be able to get in touch with a couple of girls i havent talked to in a looong time. I have NOTHING on my page tho, not even where i live, how old i am or anything.

i find it pretty stupid that people have friends on their myspace that they see everyday at school, and they still leave comments to each other.what is really the point of that?

 

[C00L]

people jsut like to wh0re themselves out online. i think gaybook and gayspace are garbage. yes i had profiles on both then realized it was so lame and i deleted them both.

fvck that ****.

 

[Centaurion]

Sites like facebook and myspace can be a double edged sword, depending on how you use them.

Unfortunatly I'm not a member of facebook, since I'm not from the States, but over here hi5.com seems quite popular. What it does is that it automatically sends out friend request to all of the peeps in your msn list. Considering that I have ****loads of people from my old HS on it, it automatically gave me a pretty wide network to start with. The nice thing about is that you are connected to people that are your friends-friends, so basically I now have 500+ people in my 'network'.

It's pretty cool though, cause a girl friend of chick that went in my class in HS, emailed since she was in Sydney. I've never spoken to this chick before, but we met, had a a blast and hooked up.

 

[worstepisode]

I'm starting to realize the benefits of facebook. If your brand new at this whole DJ thing, go sign up for facebook and poke random girls that you find attractive. Initially, I had a hard time doing this because I didn't want to get rejected and feel stupid. But, that's the point. It can sumpliment your DJ training. You can sarge in real life and on line. So for all you guys, poke some attractive girls and get used to rejection.

 

[The Forms]

As a general rule, the more friends you have on facebook or myspace, the less friends you probably have in real life.

I see those people who have 278 friends, and I think, "you don't know any of those people, do you?"

A kid I haven't seen since the 7th grade (we're 23 now) invited me to be his friend on facebook. what the hell is that? I haven't seen you since 1995!?!? And even then I thought you were a douche!

The internet is a wacky place.

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

I started a myspace and I like it for the sole purpose of saying what the hell I want and putting whatever I want on it and people naturally wanna be my friend. Well at first my page was sh*tty and I went out and searched for like these model girls who had their own contracts and posted sh*t on their site talking about how great they are and if they don't think you're great they won't approve you or whatever. THOSE PEOPLE NEED A LIFE
