It was really popular with my generation in my early twenties and used it almost religiously for at least a few years. I stopped using it over a year ago, and it really left a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t hold it against anyone for having one but I do believe these types of things are changing people, mostly woman, for the worse and drastically.

My opinion is a complete tool for woman. First and foremost the passive aggressive jealousy games are off the chain. I seen this from exs, girls I was dating and from all the other people on there. I had girls constantly stalking their friends and such and then I would get the conversation starter of: ” I want a baby”, “All my friends are getting married”, etc. When in reality she was comparing herself to her friends, all of whom had their fun and found some beta to exploit, AND also talking with god knows how many dudes. Then when confronted it’s: “You don’t trust me”, “I’m just talking, it’s not like I sleep with them”, etc.

I am sure you all have your own horror stories and such. So I wonder what others thoughts are on Facebook, or any social media for that matter.

ehhh… not to mention the endless thread of selfies from so many woman each day. Talk about cheap self-validation….

These are just a few issues I have with social media —>

#1. The illusion that all those friends you’ve added are actually your friends.

#2. The ability to spread stupidity that would other wise go unnoticed.

#3. The early exposure of youth to sex,violence, and bullying.

#4. The high amount of Narcissus you can find on any social media site.

#5. The propaganda, lies, and hate that is spread like wild fire by feminist/other hate groups.

These are just a few of the issues I have with social media, because I could go on for day’s. I personally have little experience with social media, because I only used it for a few months before discovering how much of a blue pill mess it was. Men could easily live without social media, but women…hell no they would go crazy without the attention. I almost wish I could shut all of it down for a year, and see how it impacts society women specifically !

There are boatloads of negative things such as selfies, annoying updates and all that but if you can ignore it facebook serves as a good source of information and a easy way to connect your friends together.

I used to have it fundamentally for girls.  Instead got a lot of red pills.  Was surprised by the “sweet” girls the most.

Got off years ago.  Zero regrets.  Missed it a lot less than I thought I would.

All I ever saw on there were:

  • “Sexy” selfies from “hot chicks” who I knew had massive self-esteem issues
  • “Inspirational” image macros from broke females who I knew were horribly unsuccessful
  • “Supportive” responses from manginas and white knights who were totally not getting laid
  • “Important” forwards from people who couldn’t tell an Onion article from the literal Second Coming of Christ
  • “Cute” or “shocking” videos that were more clearly staged than a Michael Bay film
  • The occasional moment of sad truth, loneliness and desperation that was underneath all of it

The only decent thing I’ve seen on social media in the last year is Fake Watch Busta… the guy who calls out “ballers” for wearing bulls~~~ fake timepieces. That was hilarious. Otherwise it’s all bulls~~~ and it’s bad for you.

  • + Highschool crush going after middle aged married men.
  • + Being hit on by female managers just realizing they are about to hit 30

Women can say whatever they want, do what they want, and they never worry about anything. I once made a facebook account, and it was the last facebook account I would ever make. It was f~~~ing hell on facebook. I only lasted a week before I deleted my god forsaken account. However, facebook is still useful for one thing. When you go on facebook, you see how women really are. It shows you the behavior of women that is censored by the media. The way females on facebook take 100’s of selfies, try to get attention in 1000’s of ways, gossip, bully, haze, black-mail, and promote hate movements (like feminism) really say something about them. I’d say facebook was a big red-pill for me.

I think TEXTING has completely ruined social interaction. I refuse to even have a cell phone these days, for one thing I don’t like the fact that anyone I know can annoy me at any point they want to during the day, I enjoy my privacy. I use to have a cell phone though and it wasn’t so bad before texting got big. I honestly feel insulted when people people think its ok to talk to me while simultaniously talking to 10 other people. How are you supposed to have any meaningful conversation with anyone when they are always doing some serious multi-tasking every time they communicate?? and the whole thing is way too impersonal for me, if I’m going to talk to someone I know I would much rather hear their voice and not have to wait a to get a response after everything I say. So I just have a house phone…if you want to talk to me you will be forced to call…if I’m not home obviously I cant take your call…and no I don’t have an answering machine for you to leave annoying messages on.

Let me say that louder…I F~~~ING HATE FACEBOOK WITH A PURPLE PASSION! F~~~ THAT USELESS HORSES~~~ OF A WEBSITE! As a matter of fact F~~~ social media right in its collective asshole! Goddamn, 99% of the population has a narcissist complex!

    Seriously, my ex’s life revolved around that goddamn website. It was a major contributing factor to the demise of our marriage. She would sit and bitch about me to all of her family and FB friends. Of course, they were getting only a very slanted one-sided version of things. They never heard about all the really f~~~ed up s~~~ she was doing to me to drive me to madness. Of course, the next logical step is they all coddle the victimizer because she’s crying on FB daily. Meanwhile I’m the poor f~~~ busting my ass trying to keep food on the table and keep the lights on while she spends her unemployed days playing on goddamn FB and taking naps all day! But I’m the bad guy!?!?!

    Yeah, I was a bad man because I:

    Paid the rent
    Paid the electric bill
    Paid the water bill
    Bought the groceries
    Cooked
    Cleaned
    Took care of the lawn
    WORKED
    Paid the car insurance
    Paid the medical bills
    Repaired the automobiles myself (and paid for parts)
    Took care of my son
    Put up with her bratty kid from previous relationship

    OH BUT I WAS A HORRIBLE ABUSIVE HUSBAND BECAUSE I WANTED THE OCCASIONAL SERVING OF PUSSY! OH THE HORROR!

    …anyway, I digress…f~~~ FB in the ass with a 10lb sledge hammer…and f~~~ all those vapid self-absorbed narcissistic c~~~s that use it as a sad substitute for a life in the real world!

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

Most people have been on it for 5-6 years at the most, so it’s still a young medium that is still evolving, with its users slowly adapting their usage to give them the maximum benefit. That’s what usually happens when a novel form of communication arises…postal mail centuries ago, telephones in the late 1800’s, email in the 1990’s, and now social networking. Over time, all the “bad” aspects (if they are indeed bad) will either go away, or we’ll be able to easily minimize them because we learn how to.

    Some kinds of communication just go away because people get bored with them, or they are made obsolete by newer technology. Remember CB radio? Ham radio? Chat rooms?

    Other kinds improve because we figure out ways to cut down on the stuff that bothers us. Remember when spam was considered a crisis that could make email unusable? Remember being harassed by one telemarketer phone call after another? Remember when you’d get the same annoying chain email from 20 different friends?

    Most of what bugs us about Facebook can be avoided if we’re smart about how we use it. For instance, here’s my basic protocol:

    1. If anyone posts excessively, or posts irritating stuff like political rants, I unfollow (not unfriend) them. If later I find myself curious about what they’re up to, I can always go and look at their timeline.

    2. Set privacy settings so that nonfriends can’t see my info.

    3. Be fairly judicious about who I friend and what info I post.

    4. Post very rarely. Comment on others’ posts when I feel like it, but never feel obliged to. Remember that commenting is like voting for more of the same.

    5. Don’t friend women I’m dating. If she sends me a friend request, ignore it. If she asks about it, say that I hardly ever sign on to facebook. If she persists, say that I don’t want to be facebook friends yet, because that takes away the mystery, or something. Maybe I would have relent if it ever got to the serious relationship stage, but I never let it get that far anyway. lol
