Dedicated Thread on Why Facebook and Social Networking Sites Suck Ass

[IronSoldierParticipant 55]

I do not use Facebook.  I abhor social networking sites.  I don’t need the drama, and I don’t like people knowing my business.

Imagine my pleasant surprise when I joined the wonderful MGTOW community and found that my fellow MGTOW also eschew Facebook and social networking.

In various threads, my fellow brilliant MGTOW posters have expressed, in passing mostly, why Facebook and Social Networking is anathema.  But I would like to discuss it in more detail, so I created this thread.

I’d like to know why the MGTOW philosophy eschews Facebook and other social networking.  Feel free to be repetitive if you’ve mentioned it in other threads.  Having this discussion here in one thread helps me get my own thoughts in order.

You’re  opening sentence pretty much explains it ,remember womin NEED drama & gossip to survive just like we need sexual release.

I was already on the Internet, before the masses flooded it. My earliest experiences predate even Google as a search engine and all that modern “social” stuff didn’t exist yet. There was other networking stuff, nobody knows about today, its point was to meet new people online, then get to know them in person.

That’s not the point of modern “social networking”, it’s main purpose is to x-ray existing relationship graphs and abuse them for advertisement. Thus the correct term is “advertisement network sites”: You go to the sites to receive targeted advertisements, let other people you trust tell you, what you have to buy. That’s everything about it.

The thing that kept me away from the facebooks  initially was my aversion against using real-life data online. Nowadays I see, this was a wise decision, as we can see the typical SJW witch hunts across the net. I see not being is a part of this hive as a viable ghosting strategy.

The only social website I have is facebook but I never use it. I would have deleted it years ago but it’s the only way I can keep in touch with old friends or family that live far away. I never post on it or read it. I really hate scrolling through it and seeing millions of pointless pictures. I recently deleted like 20 people because I never talk to them or plan to in the future.

[DakotaParticipant 341]

I don’t know if social media is officially a no-go zone for MGTOW but here’s my take.   I used to comment on news articles and YouTube videos and the like. It would seem to me that about 80%+ of all the comments I ever posted were censored, deleted or not posted at all.  My comments were never violent or hateful, which can be shown by my posts on this site. F~~~, I even had a review of my laptop rejected!  So what gives?

There’s a base opinion on the internet (and in society in general called mores). Opinions can deviate only a few degrees from base and then opinions are not welcome.  MGTOW is more than a few degrees off.  MGTOW is progressive, rational, Male-led, Male-centered, and Male-dominated.   A Man’s point of view, His language and His sexuality are NOT acceptable in this current social climate.   Social media is not anathema to MGTOW…MGTOW is a scourge to social media and the status quo.  But, it’s also a great place to find some sad, blue-pill-f~~~er and give them a shiny red pill.

BTW, if you’re on FB, do you really think that anyone gives a s~~~ what you bought or where you went on vacation or what time you took a p~~~?  The whole thing is 1984-Orwellian.

Great topic.

When I signed up here a few weeks ago, I told my story in the introductions section and included some words about Facebook. I have to use it for my job but years ago I had already figured out that mgtow ideology was something I could speak about only to a couple of friends and only in private situations. Sadly, the current mentality of the world at large is very much against men. Especially older white men. Everything changes when you walk away and just go your own way. Women really hate it because they are built to thrive on torturing men mentally which is why you see those articles all over the web about men losing it and getting violent. I’m not a violent type, so I’ve been walking away from them for years and it never fails to p~~~ them off. At some point they will all be having to get off their butts and go out and support themselves if they can’t get the governments of our countries to support their whiny asses.

Dakota just said in 2 paragraphs what I wanted to say in 8, so thanks for beating me to it. But I am compelled to add Facebook is a narcissists wet dream. A veritable playground for the modern female with such an overinflated view of herself. And it fuels it even further. This video is called “how to spot narcissists on Facebook” but apply to to every Facebook female you know and see if the shoe fits.

Like marriage, Facebook is for women and gays. This comes from reading beauty and fashion magazines where they have fantasies of being famous celebrities for sweet f~~~ all. Just because Kim Kardashian makes the front page every time she takes a s~~~, grown women update their status with the same hope. They behave just like a f~~~ing 14 year old Facebook chick and think when a boy/man clicks on her profile , she convinced herself she has a “stalker”. Posts a picture of herself in a bikini and then thinks you’re a “perv” because you “liked” it.

F~~~ that. Get the f~~~ off Facebook as quickly as possible and starve them of the attention they require to function.
Attention is a woman’s lifeblood. By not being on Facebook, you turn off the tap to the constant flow of attention she needs.

If you need 100 other reasons, the first is… it obliterates “mystique”. You have none. Nobody will WONDER about you. This is a very powerful move for you in your social circle, because women will imagine all kinds of horses~~~ about you by NOT being there. What’s he doing? Who’s he f~~~ing? Where does he live? What’s he up to? Why doesn’t he count likes? Why doesn’t he care about attention and approval I LIVE for? OMG is he OK? Is he alive?

Gosh, I could go on….

After I deleted EVERYTHING from Facebook 3.5 years ago, I felt so f~~~ing awesome. Even in a job interview when they say “are you online? Do you have Facebook?” it is so satisfying to smile and say: “I have no time for that childish time-wasting nonsense”. Then watch the expression on her face.

A handful of women reached out to me and asked “why are you not on facebook?”. Nothing else. No hi how are you? No what are you up to? Not I miss you or anything like that. Just “why are you not on facebook?”. What the f~~~ kind of question is “why are you NOT?”. Just the wording is f~~~ed up.

… to which I extended the same courtesy and replied: “Facebook is for women and gays”.

BOOM. Roasted.

Other excellent replies and reasons:

• “I’m wanted in 13 states for crimes against humanity”.
• “Gay”.
• “What a weird question.”
• “I am. But I’m in the VIP lounge. Zuckerberg invite only. Not open to the public.”

And my personal favorite:

“Remember when little girls had diaries, and they would freak out when a boy just touched the cover? We’ve come a long way”.

That should do it.

PS. I wish to stress the use of the word “gay” as VERY important. Anyone who perceives this statement as a negative, doesn’t like gays. Saying Facebook is for gays is like saying cat food is for cats. That’s not an anti-cat (or catsogynistic) statement at all. So if you get ANY negative vibe back make sure you correct it and point out there is nothing negative about saying “Facebook is for women and gays”. If she perceives it as a negative, that’s in her own head. You can laugh about it. Because you know something she doesn’t.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

To think Facebook was once considered the “classy” alternative to Myspace…

Initially Facebook was Zuckerberg’s trick to access pussy on campus. Now it’s a crowd control instrument.

I haven’t used it in years. Waste of time. Anyone that knows me can text or call.

Been on the internet since BBSs in the early 90’s, grew up with my dad building computers starting about 1990 or so.

KeyMaster: I couldn’t even hear a word the woman in the video was saying because of her hand gestures. Is it at all ironic that a psychologist would unconsciously use the “I am an expert” hand gesture over and over again while clasping her hands together in an attempt to not gesture with them at all?

My internet credentials: I’ve been online since 1993 (my earliest traceable footprints on Usenet) and was on local BBSs in Austin, TX before that, typing interactive chat messages faster than my 300 baud modem could send the characters. I had a website up and running on a NeXT that I administered a week after NCSA Telnet was released. I wasn’t there to build the roads, but I was among the first civilians to use them regularly… and baby I’ve seen it all.

Anyway, having said that, I won’t attempt to add further to the already excellent arguments against social media already put forth here but I will add that I used it in order to show off my lifestyle to young females I was working on bagging. That’s pretty much it. Once I accepted that fact, I didn’t feel the need to do it any more (post on Facebook or work on bagging females) and so I pretty much just walked away from it.

If you’ve got family or friends in distant places (the most common justification for why otherwise rational people still use social media), try hand writing them a letter and send them some printed photographs. I guarantee you will find out within two weeks which of them give a s~~~ about you and which ones don’t.

[IronSoldierParticipant 55]

Ha!!!  KeyMaster, you are truly a poet, brother.

I could read your s~~~ all day.

“Back in the day”…haha….I think it was the mid 90s and I bought a “state of the art” MHZ (900?) computer with blazing 14.4k dial-up modem.  I remember the thrill and novelty of signing up for AOL.  At that time AOL had “digital city” chat rooms for most major metropolitan areas.  Tons of guys and gals would get in these online chatrooms and talk mad s~~~.  Bear in mind that nobody could see each other (we didn’t have digital cameras or webcams and who had the time to put a hard copy photo on a scanner?).  Anyway, as a guy, I would spit mad game in the chat room.  Somewhere along the way someone came up with the genius idea of a regular “offline” meet and greet to meet everyone you chatted up online.  We would regularly meet at bars, put on a name tag with your chatroom user name, and mingle with the wimmenz we spoke to online.  OMFG!  It was the perfect pussy scam!  I got more f~~~ing pussy this way!  It woked beautifully because you could seduce the women with your words then meet them in person and it was all downhill from there (assuming no one involved with the equation was gut bucket ugly).  The point is nobody had the “luxury” of making an arbitrary and visceral judgment on you based on a stupid f~~~ing picture.  You gave them the sales pitch online then sealed the deal with a little booze and the “closer” in your trousers!

Ahhh…the good ‘ol days…

HISTORY...learn from it, memorize it, DON'T repeat it...

In 1997 I went “online” and registered a domain and my own email. I also owned one of only 9999 20th Anniversary Macs. With a 4X CD Rom, Bose sound system… it was SO f~~~ing desirable and cool, BATMAN (George Clooney as Bruce Wayne) owned it and you can see it in the movie. Seinfeld had one too.

Chicks I knew called me a geek and laughed at me, joked and prodded. Girlfriends told me I spent too much time on the computer, and I “need to get a life”. In 1999, the girlfriend of a great friend (now his wife) was in the room when I told someone that I bought AAPL (Apple Inc. at $10-16 a share – no I no longer own any)… and the same bitch doubled over laughing when I told her I registered some domains including – myself DOT COM. She made a HUGE deal out of it in front of other people.

… like “LOL!! Keymaster is now key master-dot-com!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!”.

In 2004, that same c~~~ asked me to help her husband on his website.
Guess what my f~~~ing answer was. A great big middle finger straight up her ass.

That year (and as a result of “not having a life”) I got a GREAT job offer that took me away from it all, and moved me far away to begin a new life. They heard the company would buy me a car and put me up in a big city condo where i would live rent free and fly business class. And they all wanted to come visit and now suddenly the geek was f~~~ing cool as hell.

In 2009 I ran into the same bitch on facebook. “OMG How are you?”?? Yeah I’m fine, f~~~youverymuch. Whaddya want. The same bitch(es) who thought it was lame and so pathetic to be online to create a website, have a personal email address, work on my computer and not have a life….. were now all over facebook not having a life of their own. How hard I LOLaughed when I saw it all came full circle. Deleted every single one of them. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete. Delete……. and then, the final move was to leave myself there with no picture. Years later, they still see my name come up all the time in their random list of “do you know so-and-so?” but no face is attached, and they get reminded that they have no place in my life.

12 years after Gmail, the c~~~ still has a f~~~ing hotmail address. So who’s more pathetic now??

I don’t know how I knew in 1999 that I would have the last laugh. I just did. There are a thousand ways and reasons to remove yourself from Facebook. One of the best reasons is to turn off the tap of constant flow of attention women need. By not being there, you suffocate them. You starve them of attention. You give them not even the slightest peek in your life, they get nothing from you, and you drive them f~~~ing crazy with no effort.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I became disenchanted (disgusted) with face book without ever surfing any of its url’s, not ever.
As a fly on the wall some years ago, I over heard the glee murmurs of women giggling and gossiping about their F~~~FACE pages and all the s~~~ they endlessly stir.
Face-book is a giant witches cauldron endlessly boiling over and filled with dead men’s bones.
My only contact with social media is with you-tube, MGTOW, and Google +.
The Google+ was only because I needed a new browser to continue limping along on XP, I found fire-fox to be my favorite patch browser.
Gossip to me is like listening to 10,000 chalk board scratches amplified 10,000 times with distortion and being hit with a 9.0 earthquake all at the same time! I tell people right to their face “I don’t want to hear it, not one word of it” Gossip turns me on as much as eating a big pile of dog s~~~!
So to sum things up: surfing Face-book is like eating a big pile of dog s~~~!
I say, “you don’t have to go past the smell to avoid allot of s~~~”.
P.S. If you’re concerned about spyware, malware, browser hijackers,and identity theft; I use spy-hunter and a net-screen, works good.

That anniversary Mac was a sweet one. I didn’t get one of those but I did have the black MacTV and a NeNT ‘040 cube with a NeXTDimension display board… I was pretty much the same kind of dweeb that you were back around 1993… had my own website, registered domain names by simply executing the right command (way before you had to pay to get them) and was even the first of all the people I knew to get a cellular phone back when everyone was still using answering machines.

And of course everyone thought I was a complete moron. And like you, it wasn’t long before they were asking me to build websites for them and their stupid ideas.

Now that I’ve had my own web based business for 15 years, people are starting to realize that I knew something way back in the day that they missed… and like you, I say f~~~ them.

[Anonymous 42]

Was your cell phone the size of a military walkie-talkie? Did it have a 10LB external battery with handle? Service was only in major metro areas and sounded like you were listening through a long tunnel, a sort of distortion like the matrix after Neo swallowed the red pill. That was around 1990, Can you remember building a web with ftp? I was one of the first burnouts before they coined it computer-burnout. Till this day I still can’t look at a cathode ray tube of any kind!

[Anonymous 42]

Wow, I just had a revelation, BLUE was my favorite color before my life melted down 20+ years ago. My brain saw blue-screen at night during my female torture days. After destroying my bat-cave and throwing everything out the window, I slowly recovered as my brain resembled unit 3 at Fukushima, a Mox-fuel meltdown. But anyway, After my brain went through systems restore, my favorite color became RED all on its own. This was long before the matrix and red and blue pills. Since then I found a 1950 MG-TD, I’m restoring it and painting it candy apple, blood RED, I ordered a blood red leather interior through Moss Motors. I’m A OK A-1-A now, Totally rewired my mind, and cleaned up all the Cuncesium 137 and Strokthemen 90.

[Anonymous 23]

Forgot about this thread – I’ll just stick the link to the thread I made a few days ago, because according to women, there is a religious reason why we are all brainless blabbering idiots.
