The Facebook Thread -

Be honest, who's profile picture consists of them standing in a mirror with their mobile phone? like everybodies profile pictures seem to be these days.

Its actually rare for me to even have a photo of myself. This is me now.

Disgruntled Intern · #62 07-19-2011, 08:14 AM

No, what I mean is that the things I share with the people here aren't always shared with my facebook friends [90% of which are my 'real life' friends], so the idea of people from the forums who have read things about my life that my other friends don't know about, then getting on my facebook and possibly mentioning something I've blogged about on my wall or something, I don't know. I think my friends would be offended that I'm often sharing more with you guys than I am with them.

As far as blocking status updates, fuck that. I know a few of my family members have 'hidden' my posts, but that offends me not. it's quite understandable, really.

I don't care if my friends are offended, my "real life" friends aren't really suitable or mature enough for me to share things with them that I do here.

It's not a matter of maturity or suitability in my case. If I didn't find my friends mature or suitable enough to fit into my life, they wouldn't be in it. I think the reason I share things with you guys instead of them is because you're so separated from my actual life. Which I guess goes back to why I'm wary of adding any of you on facebook.

I get it. Mixing friend circles can have weird consequences.

Like that one time I introduced Cammy to OANST.

I keep my real life friends as friends simply because they are highly entertaining and we get on well and all that, but for serious moments and problems and things like that, OWF and various friends I have around the world who I sadly don't know in person are the ones I turn to who always help me.

That's a pretty sad state of affairs.

Sekto Springs · #68 07-19-2011, 10:08 AM

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a pretty innocuous fella on Facebook. I'm not going to chime into your personal affairs unless I know you well enough to do so, or they somehow involve me. And I'll probably only ever see your posts through the news feed.

Most of the people I've added from OWF rarely say anything relevant to me or something I'm involved with.

I do sometimes like to tag people in retarded photos of things that have nothing to do with them. If you'd like me to leave you out of that, just let me know.

CrissCross · #69 07-19-2011, 02:14 PM

i added a bunch of dicks who keep spamming my profile like "hey i saw you in town once lets meet up"...

why did i add them O.o ...

I would very much like to hear the story behind this.

Then you should join some of the dating sites im on, the things people say to me on there XD oh boy...

Wings of Fire · #73 07-19-2011, 02:44 PM

You are such a twink.

That's actually the first time somebody has ever said that to me.

Haha xD hey has a girl ever added you and started talked to you because i know you're like gay and stuff?

JennyGenesis · #77 07-19-2011, 04:01 PM

Let me think?

YES!

I may be gay, but is there some rule that states I can't have friends who are girls?

Of course girls have added me and spoken to me, because, you know, I accept the friend request in the first place because I know them and they will talk to me because we are friends......IDIOT!

T-nex · #78 07-19-2011, 04:39 PM

Because facebook is the gateway to my personal life. While I've shared some pretty personal stuff with you turds in my blogs, I've been incredibly selective. But even in being selective, the things I've shared are things that some of my facebook friends don't always know about. Having the two things merge is unsettling for me.

You shouldn't feel bad for feeling that way really :P
I put off adding anyone on owf to my fb when I decided to just make a separate profile for online buddies.

I really really hate the thought of mixing rl and online together. Mainly because I have an image to keep up irl, or rather the lack of. I don't really want the people I added to my rl profile to stalk me and see what I'm talking with online people about. On the internet I tend to be more brave and be more myself in ways that my real life acquaintances and friends would probably find weird.

Anyway, if you feel you'd like to add people from owf guiltlessly and worryless, you could always make a new profile

Too, boy. Do I ever know what you're talking about!

Oh, and combining with CrissCross' post, I once had a guy message me on a dating site to tell me that he'd seen me on the tram and did I live nearby? He was blocked rather quickly.

no i mean like on an online dating site and i have nothing against gay people if thats what youre impling

JennyGenesis · #81 07-22-2011, 01:38 AM

The sites I'm on are exclusively for gay guys only, so I don't have any lesbians messaging me. If I did though then of course I would talk to her, nothing wrong with making a new friend.

I know how you feel, I get people messaging me that they are in nearby hotels and want me to come over.

The best story I have though was then this 50+ guy wanted a one night stand with me.

I noticed in his profile picture that ehwas stood in front of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I said to him thats a nice Jeep and asked if he still had it. His response was "I still have the Jeep, we can go out for some fun in it sometime if you like?" I simply replied with "Nah, I just really like Jeeps thats all"

So he stopped bothering me for a while and then on christmas eve he said to me "Could you come over? I'd love to have you in my bed as a christmas present". He already lives a good few hours away, plus this message was sent at something like 10pm and it was snowing and Wales is never ever prepared for snow so the entire country comes to a halt when a snowflake falls, oh! and of course! he was way over my age limit!

Oh thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering why you didn't have sex with a random stranger.

JennyGenesis · #83 07-26-2011, 02:02 AM

I did once...

Big mistake...

MeechMunchie · #84 07-28-2011, 06:38 AM

Well, thank you for that conclusive account. I'm certainly not going to ask you for any clarification, as you clearly didn't intend for anyone to do that.

JennyGenesis · #85 07-28-2011, 07:43 AM

I was trying to be nice and warn people.

Thought in case people get the wrong idea, I was not in danger or anything so don't panic, it's just that the sex was awful.

Raep'd

I concur that one night flings are bad mojo, confirmed after a guy at work told me that after 14 children from an unknown amount of women, it was time to settle down.

Bullet Magnet · #87 07-28-2011, 10:46 AM

Nothing like knowing your limit. His was 14. I can respect that.

Sorta.

***Wil*** · #88 07-28-2011, 10:50 AM

I've had one night stands, and can confirm that they do not always result in 14 pregnancies.

Bullet Magnet · #89 07-28-2011, 10:52 AM

Uh, you may have been doing it wrong.

Manco · #90 07-28-2011, 11:08 AM

Or wonderfully, wonderfully right.
