i have myspace - i need more friends - pm me if you think i'm cool enough to be on your fake friend list

demograph68 · Jan 5, 2006, 01:24 PM

It would work to your advantage if you were a hot chick with bikini pics. People certainly don't look others up based on intelligence there, that's for sure.

Athens · Jan 5, 2006, 01:30 PM

just post your myspace

phantomdragonz · Jan 5, 2006, 01:42 PM

I had a myspace account last summer... I ended up canceling it because I had to many weird super lonely girls messaging me to "hang out" My space is WEIRD!

Betcha they were MySpace hired hands designed to pique your interest and keep you around. Happened on a dating site and no doubt there's a lot of it going around.

I had an account for 5 days. It just seemed like an UNOFFICIAL dating site for teens. Bored me to death.

Yeah, I need this about as bad as I would need leprosy. Maybe less than that.

I've heard myspace is a great way to hook up with women who want some action. Is this true?

myspace is ok, face-pic is good, faceparty is ok, there is another one but i cant think of it right now that is good.

iLikebeer · Jan 6, 2006, 03:20 AM

I like myspace, you just have to use it in a way that suits you. I know everyone on my friends list from real life except for 3 or 4 people. I usually deny friend requests and keep my friends list small. I just use it to keep in touch with friends, easily showing pics and stories of what's going on in our lives.

Also, I think the groups part is great. Obviously there aren't too many hockey fans where I live (over an hour from Phx, AZ, so I've found a nice group of Yotes fans to go to the games with. I get Japanese recipes from a sushi group, cooking tips from a Chefs group, golf tips from a golf group.... and don't have to visit a million different forums to find stuff.

It's a tool, just like anything else.

This is yet another one of the web phenomena that I really don't get... right up there with blogs and postcasts...

TheMosco · Jan 6, 2006, 03:23 PM

I have one. I don't really pay that much attention to anymore. its kinda scary though. I get sketchy messages for girls all the time.

sek929 · Jan 6, 2006, 03:54 PM

I started one to find girls in my area, then I found a girl in my area.

Now I have no need for it. However, I am getting laid on a very regular basis because of it so

to Myspace.

JoshuaZ · Jan 6, 2006, 04:40 PM

Gee, what next. A thread trolling for friends on thefacebook.com?

See what did I tell you, unofficial dating site for teens/20somethings.

volcano · Jan 6, 2006, 04:57 PM

Livejournal used to be the "cool" thing a few years back. Everyone who had one was viewed as "elite," because back then users could only be invited to sign up for a LJ account - you couldn't just create one on a whim. It didn't start the young internet whore revolution (YIWR? New acronym? Who knows.) like MySpace did, simply because you could only add 1 tiny, itsy-bisty photo to your profile. Soon the fad faded, and MySpace came into play. Now it's the "in" thing, besides Xanga journals. Granted, Xanga isn't nearly as popular as Myspace, but it's definitely the new Livejournal. Myspace sickens me though. It's a double-edged sword: it's a great way to keep in touch with people who live out of state/out of town, but I absolutely, whole-heartily hate the culture behind it.

People trying to find acceptance in this world through MySpace are truly pathetic.

I never joined myspace, but I did join facebook a year ago, which is similar to myspace.

People talk about how great facebook is for expanding our social network. Frankly though I found that it was a waste of time. There is a reason why I don't stay in touch with certain people I used to know, but thanks to Facebook now they are sending me little messages and expecting me to reply, as if I care. Some of these people I haven't seen since I was like 8 years old. Creepy.

Like SWG said, it's just an unofficial dating service for creeps.

cheery7upper · Jan 17, 2006, 10:02 PM

Now, if you were talking FACEBOOK that would be an entirely different story

well, ok.. after further reading someone HAS done facebook. I personally enjoy facebook because I could find people that I went to elementary school with or that had moved away after high school.

torsoboy · Jan 18, 2006, 12:26 AM

I had never been to MySpace before, but from this thread and went to the site and looked at it a bit.... I clicked the "browse" link at the top and went throught the first 10 pages of pictures/profiles. I think I counted 5 guys. That means of the first 400 profiles, 1% was male.... wow. Sounds like they got a niche with the girls. Young (highs school, middle school) girls.

torsoboy · Jan 18, 2006, 12:30 AM

I just read they sold MySpace for $580 million dollars. wow. someone is betting on those teenagers spending money somehow.

Miniryu · Jan 18, 2006, 02:54 AM

Its funny, MySpace is the trendy hip thing for people in their 20's and teens to do, so the older and/or "geeky" guys are putting it down. I have one and its great- I hate the telephone so its a great way for my friends who attend school far away or have moved away to keep tabs on what we are all doing (who got a new haircut, who has a new car, new girlfriend, tatoo, etc.). If you were ever curious what ever happened to that hot girl from high school but don't care to actually talk to her about it, just look her up on MySpace and find out. I've been virtually "reunited" with old classmates from elementary whom I don't care to actually speak with, but its nice to get a message and find out how they ended up. Last of all, it is THE BEST dating service because you don't feel geeky for having a profile since all your friends are on it, as well as everyone else in the country your age. Blind dates are never completely blind anymore, now you can screen her via her profile.

Facebook is similar, except it sucks because its only your friends at your own school that yyou can interact 100% with. And no customization.

I am in my 20's and I don't use it. but i am married. almost 100% of the users are girls it looks like, so i can see the use for it for non-married younger guys. though most of the people on it are in high school and middle school.
