So, long ago when myspace was the rage, I was a fairly popular dude with lots of friends and often used it to expand my real life social network, which included meeting women and getting dates. But I also experienced its capacity to cause relationship drama with the SO. Then I deleted my account and went cold on this type of social media for military security reasons since I was deployed for a couple of years. When I returned home, I got into a committed LTR and decided it was best to avoid facebook since I thought our relationship didn't need any fb drama or the temptations that comes with it.
Today, I ran across this youtube video and it made me curious how common it was for guys who don't have fb and what women think about dating those guys, any stereotypes?
Three of my buddies don't have facebooks. They are all in committed relationships though, but I don't think they'd have one either way. They just think they are dumb. They were cool guys in high school, they just called facebook stupid and never cared about it.
ok that video was hilarious
I would not care whatsoever if a girl didn't have a facebook. I don't know many guys who would care.. but maybe a girl or a girly-man might care?
I don't have one, don't want one, and never had one.
Mainly due to the way they retain all your personal information, secondarily due to the way they add nothing but drama. (Seen it many times, from friends to co workers.)
Definitely a plus. My husband didn't have one when we met, although he did have a MySpace acct which he rarely logged into. He only joined FB after we got engaged and I wanted to share my pics with some of his friends and family..lol. He hardly logs into it though, but that's fine by me..he has better things to do with his time than bother with FB!
If a guy didn't have fb though, I'd probably just wonder what else he had...lol It's terrible, I know.
Yep, that's the challenge I think, appearing like a loner, friendless, or something like that. That's what value fb has for most guys, it provides an instant confirmation to women that the guy has a social network and glimpse of the type of real friends he has.
I know it won't take me more than a couple of months to re-populate an account with lots of friends ("It's about time! Where u been?"), upload great travle/good times pics, and get back being a social media addict. But life is good without it, I'm not burning hours online, and I do value my privacy for both personal and career purposes.
