Is it just my experience or do men think FB is their own very meat market??

It's making me sick. I'm at the point where I don't even want to accept FR from men, because it seems they think it's an opportunity for them to hit on everyone they can. My other female friends have had this same experience.

I don't like it.

You mean like a dating application for people interested in sexual relations?

No, I mean FB: a social interaction for friends. The regular FB, not some app.

People will FR that you haven't seen in 20 years and then ask you, and everyone else probably, out.

I'm a guy, and I've never asked anyone out on FB.

Hmmm....it seems like all of my friends have had that problem. Also, a lot of people have cheated on their partners because of fb. My one male friend has had married females, who have already cheated on their husbands come onto him (he's married), and my friend cheated on her hubby "because of" FB. Another friend's relative is having an afair with someone from FB.

Thankfully, the people who have asked me out were single.

I don't like it. I think of getting rid of my account, but it's a good way to keep in touch with people.


You guys are lucdky you don't have this problem.

I've experienced this on Myspace. Complete rando losers who are usually like 40. Ewwww (not saying being 40 years old is gross but 40 year olds who troll Myspace for 20 year olds are).

Amowls,

At least the people who try to pick you up are strangers and not people from HS you haven't seen in forever.

But yeah, that would still be annoying!

I get a FR once in awhile from someone I don't know, but I will ask them if I know them before accepting.
But even at that, I get maybe one every couple of months at the most.

Myspace is WAY worse for those meat market types...

I only accept FR from people I know. Problem is, a lot of them are from HS, so you don't really even know them anymore, but you do....

If they're single, they're usually on the prowl, which is typical, I guess. It just is upsetting when someone FR's you and then immediately asks you out. It's like...so skeevy.

I was about to open a new thread about facebook when I saw this one. I have a BIG problem with facebook and I think I am going to close the account.

The fact that I can't filter the messages is really frustrating me. There are people who have NO sense in keeping my business private; and it drives me insane.

People like to make it public where they saw me, or that they are going to see me, and just now, this guy just advertised to all his people that he knows my mother's house, which is where I am for Christmas!! It's like they have to tell everyone everything just because we went to school together!!

Now I have had issues with people being creepy and I can't have strangers know where my mother's house is!!!!!!!!!

I am so mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've asked him 3 times to remove the message and he just ignored it!

Yeah I can understand that Unmoved. I don't think most people purpously post personal information like that.. I just don't think people...think first.

Yes, it is a matter of being negligent and just not thinking.

Unmoved, if he wrote on your wall, you can remove his posts.

I know amwols,

He wrote on his wall. Making the matter bizarre. His own update was exposing my business. How on Sunday he was coming to my mother's house to see me, specifying where it is etc. It wasn't an exact address he gave but close enough. This he kept on his wall even after I messaged him to take it off.

We share about 40 'friends'. So, it wasn't discreet enough for me to let it go.

Besides that, I can't always hope that someone doesn't post something I don't want known on my wall. Although I can remove it, it might be a day or three before it is removed, and by then it is too late and at least 100 people have seen it. That's my issue.

Facebook is lame. Come back home--to MySpace.
