I signed up a few weeks ago and now, all these people that I went to highschool with are contacting me that I was not even friends with. I don't understand. Do you get a fucking prize if you have the most friends? A couple of the girls did not even like me then b/c I was an asshole and now they are requesting to be friends.
Stupid website. I just don't get it.

    Not a prize....just the safe knowledge that your life is indeed worth living ;):p




    Seriously...I know people who measure their self esteem by the amount of 'friends' they have.

    Why did you sign up to begin with ?

    The whole myspace and facebook thing I've never had an interest in

    Maybe if I was 16 and trying to get laid

    You should've never joined!

    People are so annoying on there. They send me stupid shit all the time. I haven't checked my profile in over a month and when I do my computer will probably freeze because all the crap that will be there.

    I don't get it either. No desire. My band has a myspace page that I never even visit. Of course, I communicate mostly with smoke signals anyway.

    I'm not on it, but if I was, I sure wouldn't put it so people could find me according to my real name. My kids do it, and they are constantly complaining about people contacting them who they don't want to talk to. I'm like so don't have it! I have a myspace mainly so I can look at content of band myspace pages.

    How old are your kids if you dont mind me asking ?

    I was thinking what's a good age to allow kids to have a myspace or facebook account ?

    The best part about Facebook & being contacted by irritating people from high school is you can pick & choose who you want to be friends with. I love it. As a networking tool, it's the place to be.

    I'm on Facebook. can be a pain but can be pretty fun too. :)

    and thank God for the 'Block this application'-button!!!

    one girl I've NEVER talked to sent me a friend request one time.. :confused: her sis used to be friends with mine so I guess that was the reason.. needless to say I swiftly clicked 'Deny'. :D

    Me and my neighbor used to do that and then people would ask to see our pictures and we would send them a picture of some naked old man.

    Yeah I'm a total loser.

    I've got a facebook account, but I hardly ever check it anymore...maybe once every 3 months or so. I hate all the applications and all of the people I didn't like sending me friend requests. One guy that I even got into a fistfight with sent me a friend request, which made do this :confused: All the friends that I want to keep in touch with, I hang out with or call regularly if they live far away. The rest of my acquaintances I don't really care to keep up with, so I just don't see the point for me anymore....

    Not so long ago, it was received wisdom that anyone who surfed the internet was socially inept, a pervert and/or a sociopath who believed in shape-shifting lizards. Now, people on old-style BBSs spew out the received wisdom that anyone who uses a social networking site is socially inept, a pervert and/or a sociopath who believes in shape-shifting lizards. In five years time, everyone on facebook will be pointing and laughing at people trying out a new form of virtual interaction.

    I love Facebook and MySpace.

    Facebook is fun, with all of the pictures and people's comments, etc. Nobody has ever really known me, so I don't have the problem of people asking to be my friend. Although, I adore the folks on here who will add others as friend simply 'cause of the common interest in Pearl Jam.

    I love getting to know people from all over. It's like the new version of pen pals.

    That's pretty funny.

    I'm on facebook, like it much better than myspace. I love the pictures and updates. With the exception of scrabble, I don't bother with most of the applications.
