evil, your post was a little long can't re-read it, but did you say that the g/f's FB became temporarily private and that her b/f (your friend) could not see it? I hate to be judgmental but she sounds like a liar :(
There is a girl that I met online who was overweight from having babies, then she starved herself and she's really thin now. I have never seen anyone so self absorbed in my life. She constantly reports on guys driving down the road staring at her, people on the street checking her out, getting random flirty emails on FB, I hate to sound jealous and old, but it's too much about her looks. It must be that she was not noticed for so many years and now, it's like she is paranoid. She's acting like she hates it but I'm not sure.

Yeah, it seemed sketchy to me too. I was trying not to be judgemental for his sake as well, just hoping it wouldn't blow up into something big. I'm proud of him though...he's the vocal jealous type, and can be hard to deal with sometimes by acting irrationally. Except this time he's just a bit more focussed on why she'd act this way, and is just kind of quiet and hurt about it. He's being a bit more rational. But I dunno, from some of the crap he told me, there were hints of a wandering mind...if she hasn't cheated already, if I were to assume. I mean, come on, who's talking to a person they went on one date with more than ten years ago, and bringing up love, and constant thoughts, and being pulled back into your life for a second time, and it needs to be all or nothing? I didn't tell him to believe her or not believe her one way or the other...just seemed he wanted to talk to someone. Seemed like he had decent reason to worry also.

Oh no, I'm getting sucked into the drama!

And yes, she made her page private, so he couldn't see her wall for a couple of days, then he was added as her friend, and some of the stuff he saw before she added him, and before it was private was gone all of a sudden. Pretty, pretty shady.

I just put all 5's, and some of my old online accounts I lived on 1234 Fake Street.

Hi, neighbor. I'm at 123 Fake Street.

There is absolutely no reason to use facebook.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me as why you would want to make your life more public.

I quite like facebook, but I don't think I air my dirty laundry in public. Well I don't think I do. Maybe I do. I better go and check it out on facebook.

Well tonight I had a 1 hour 'chat' with my hubby who is currently in Tenerife. My sister lives the other end of the country. My brother lives in Germany. It's a good way to keep in touch.

Also it's handy to put your holiday snaps or whatever on, then people you know can see them without any hassle.

I think if you treat it lightly and use it for fun it's not a problem.

Edit; I do think it's wrong to lie though. No point in that.

nice granny panties

Skype for chats-HD video!
Photo bucket for pics and vids.

Without a public profile. I mean if you are looking to reconnect with past friends or are big into networking for business I get it-its just another tool, but I dont get the social aspect. Most, not all, of the people that contact me through FB are people I seek to avoid in the first place.

I agree with you there, but again, that's up to the people.

I suppose the reason I don't use it, is because the people I need to keep in touch with, I can on my phone still. Plus I got frustrated with how it's made people around me socially lazy. For example, my sister, wants me to get back on Facebook...we've seen each other maybe twice in the last three months...She lives about 20 minutes away from me.

Sadly, that's how she'd prefer to chat now. So if I don't make an effort to go over there, I don't see her. It's not just her, that's how quite a few people I know are. Before she got on Facebook? If it went a week without sitting down and chatting or doing something...the phone would begin to ring. Now I'm lucky if she'll even answer my call...she'll respond to a text though.

The one thing I have noticed with facebook.....
Especially with a lot of the people here on this board, who use facebook.....

They seem to use it as a world of make-believe...If that makes sense??

Everything is great...
Everything is peachy
Everything is going to be alright.....

And everyone strokes each other back and forth.....

Ya know what I mean???

Its just fucking weird...
But to each their own.....

Facebook: A great way to keep tabs on your friends. But here's one that beats all:

BTW, none for me, thanks!

I just use FB to keep in touch with people. some people abuse it by posting everything they do throughout their day. Like anyone gives a shit. The people that post the most are desparate for attention IMO.

Thats another thing I find weird...

Why do people post what they are having for dinner?? Who gives a fuck??
Do I need to know that someone went grocery shopping today???

Maybe its a generation thing? I dont know..But my daily routine bullshit... is just that.....My daily routine bullshit.....That EVERYONE does....

Why do some people have to take their daily routine bullshit, and post it to the entire world???

I dont get it...

i was reading thru some face book crap today and this guy who is always posting dribble was bitching about rabbits eating the veggies in his garden that his wife wanted planted.

sorry, nobody gives a fuck.














































oh wait, that was here. :P

norm

^^^ awesome!

merlin, if he brings it up again, you could tell your friend to follow his instinct. if her fb behavior was leaving a bad taste in his mouth, it's not good. you could ask him where does he see himself in the future with her, 7 yrs is a long time to date. when she was talking on FB about an old F buddy, is that the guy who was 1 or 2 dates 12 years ago?

I see bitching on my facebook news feed. I was seeing too many reports of how many kids their kid took a dump or too much info, so I did not drop the friends, I just don't see their stuff in the newsfeed. I think I hid them.

but what you said about your sister, i agree, fb has replaced adult socializing for my one friend. she's busy with work and her child's activities and has no time for me. i called and left a msg on her antiquated landline and i received a LONG paragraph on fb that night about how busy she is and would not be able to call me back, yet she posts on fb. we have known each other for 20 plus yrs. when she had her one night alone (instead of exercising for example which she badly needs) while her child was at dance class, she was on fb in a coffee shop.

ok time for me to go exercise!
