you know, I could see closing my facebook at some point in the near future. Or at least, doing a massive cull on the friend list.
Is it a mostly female thing that guys from your school days try to flatter you/ask you out/encourage you to hook up? It's almost like a TV show or movie, the way they tell you they're dissatisfied with their home life, like somehow that will make you want to make it all better by screwing them. And they tell you this even after you mention that you are in a relationship. Nasty.
Now maybe it's just me, but as soon as you've told me you are married/in a relationship, told me about your kids and your career and then told me how unhappy/dissatisfied/misunderstood you are, all in the SAME message and hey, we haven't spoken in TWENTY or so years, and by the way you LOVE my photos? Eww...I have pegged you as a slimeball douchebag. go away.
hey I know lots, yeah LOTS of people use facebook as a way to flirt/try to cheat because it's not like your partner can get angry if you are on facebook right? We're ALL on facebook just reuniting and reminiscing about school days, not about how good our highschool sex was, right? Just innocent conversations, not trying to flatter/sweet talk/get our egos stroked by old flames right? It's not lavalife or POF or anything, so it's a great cover. But really, maybe people could just stop being douches and deal with their lives appropriately?
Maybe I'm in the minority, and the respect that I want to have for my own relationship and those of other people is completely misguided. I don't care.

20 dirty hippies blowing your mind:
c'mon, tracey ... lets see them balls, post this rant ON facebook!!
ugh, don't you think I get into enough facebook confrontations already?
OH and anyway, anyone it applies to is pretty much not on my FB list anymore. So if I post this, I'll have to listen to everyone hop in and justify THEIR facebook use...ugh, ack, BORING.
I have so many stupid "arguments" on Facebook, about the validity of wearing ribbons or coloured shirts to raise "awareness" for causes (stupid), about statuses for causes (useless), about this that and the other thing...Oh it goes on and on and on...
i dunno, do you? i've never seen that, but it's not like i aggressively follow you on there. i do read your blog every day, tho.
i'm sure it's hard for you womens on the FB. we men are quite lecherous. i've said it before and i'll say it again: my own gender tends to be nothing but selfish and weak.
i guess many people -- men and women too -- would, it seems, like to feel some approximation of the zeal and power and hope that they had at 19. they're now in the 40's and that tends to be when they stray -- the marriage has gone on long enough for love to turn to spite, the sexual energy has dissipated into a sorry fog cloud of online porn and leering at waitresses and hotel clerks, the kids -- once so cute and cuddly as toddlers -- have turned out to be just as big idiots as dear old ma and pa, and everything just looks so much better in the past. i do kinda get it. except the whole cheating thing. that i don't get, personally. although it doesn't surprise me -- in my experience 99.9% of the population completely lacks even basic understandings of respect and integrity, why would they know anything about honour or commitment? it doesn't help that they're by and large mostly boring morons as well.
but i still maintain: if you truly feel strongly about it and truly don't want the attention, surely posting your little rant will call the dogs off?
or could it be, could it very well BE, that maybe deep down you secretly LIKE the attention even as you are simultaneously repulsed by it's source ...
hmmmmmmm ...????
WWWWWEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL!!!
(said with a Flintstones voice)
yuck. If I liked it, I'd keep them on my list. AND, I'd respond to their messages. I'm rather skilled at continuing conversations without actually injecting any of the sleaziness myself if I were so inclined. But I'm not.
Also, I don't feel that strongly about it; I know my approach, if others want to be skeezy, that's truly their prerogative I guess (Bobby Brown would say so). FB is designed in such a way that ultimately, it's pretty easy to ignore people.
Posting my rant won't help; most people don't recognize their own worst traits when confronted with them OR they think of themselves as the one exception, right?
Human nature I guess. It's out of my system by ranting here, here, where I like to rant from time to time...
from time to time, yes.
so, now that we have got all this chit chat out of the way ... want to come over for sex?
HA! so hey...the party...i'm thinking for my birthday...with the retro games and the food and all that stuff...
when is your birthday again? and how old are you turning?
April 1. 43 my friend. A creaky, cracky 43.
don't forget cranky! :)
sounds great to me, tho i would say you should definitely put these plans in motion in advance -- guest list, etc -- make sure everyone gets the whole concept!
yah, people have a tendency to ignore themes don't they? I hate that.
Also, I might be too cranky to actually invite more than a few people anyway... :P
well, i know jamie and teresa would gladly come and they love theme parties and dress-up. and jan and are are always down.
anything has to be better than your birthday celebration from last year ...
Did I have one? I don't even remember. I guess that says something.
heh, my point exactly!
Oh man, there is NOTHING like stupid FB Drama. I really need to get my ass in gear and do a major FB Purge and get rid of some of the toxic people on my 'friends' list.
I get messages from random dudes a lot, but I don't have my relationship status up because frankly I hate that "Alyson is in a relationship with so-and-so" title. Not that I'm ashamed of my bf or figure he's temporary, but it bothers me that I need to make it "FaceBook Official" before people take it seriously.
I can't wait for FaceBook to get replaced with something else. Honestly.
i think you should update your status to "In a relationship with" and link to D's page. think of it as wearing a ring on your finger, even if you aren't married ... keeps the wolves at bay.
you know, honestly, men lament how hard it is being the man and having to make the first move all the time and vie for a woman's attention and all that but seriously, it must be terrible to be a woman and constantly have to deflect unwanted come-ons and never be able to flirt innocently or even have male friends who you can trust aren't just trying to get into your pants.
i'll take being the dart over being the dartboard any day.
Alyson: ugh, I also hate that facebook relationship stuff. My profile DOES say in a relationship and I always tell people who message me that I am with D in my first response to them. I don't think it matters....might even present a challenge to some? Plus, a lot of these people went to school with both of us. So they don't really care.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like every dude on my FB is trying to bang me (at least not that I know of), but since more than a couple have sent less than innocent messages over time, it was something I had to comment on.
every guy on your facebook list, with the exception of me and rick, are trying to bang you. accept it.
Ha!
It really DOES happen to all females I think! I had an old schoolmate ask me out even though he is married and everyone knows this fact! Disgusting behavior!
