Benefits Of Not Having a Facebook ??

[om1xr]

Well I don't have a Facebook or Twitter or any other online social or dating sites and because i see a lot of people always taping in their smart phones and wasting their precious and little time they have in this beautiful world and because there is a lot of great things and experiences that people can do and just live and be present in that special moment but unfortunately they prefer to write a lot of craps and BS in Facebook status and post pictures and on and on and on...:rock:
So my question is simple and easy to answer but because i believe in the different opinions and thoughts and to have your own unique thoughts about anything is pretty awesome so Here is the question :

In your humble opinion what are the benefits and gifts of not having a Facebook account ?

I will start with 2 benefits i see in NOT HAVING A FACEBOOK :
1- I go out more and i enjoy talking and meeting with new interesting people .
2- I have a lot of free time that i could do whatever i want i just live and be in that precious moment that will never come again .

So guys Let's see your unique answers of this question !!

deleted my facebook two years ago

the benefits is your a mystery, while afc guys, and yes the majority on facebook are, are attention seekers just like the women on there,and even worst praising girls on their pics and post.

I told a girl the other night that I didn't have a facebook,she was like wow your weird

needless to say she got bang that night, guess im not too weird

I am planning on getting rid of my FB too. TOO much drama and BS. People are far too open about their lives on FB. Besides .. i got 2 kids and a gorgeous wife that needs my attention ... if anyone needs to message me i have text .. and a phone that works just fine. I will send pics once a year in christmas cards. Fvck sharing them with the world.

I personally do not know anyone my age (or within a few years) that does not have facebook. Reviewing all the "naturals" I know, they all have facebook (although most don't use it frequently). At the very least, it serves as social proof. Limiting what's on there can add to your mystery. Not having one at all seems a little extreme (like not having a telephone because it's more "mysterious").

Makes it harder for the government and et, al to digest your entire photographic personal life (which is downloaded into distant servers and owned by Facebook.com)

Break out of the Matrix man!!!

Another benefit is not getting pulled into the drama and crap some people post.

I didn't have it for a few years, but then opened one and I look at it a bit much, i'm pretty close to deleting it again.

Seeing as social media is a major part of my career, I can confidently tell you that Facebook isn't all it's cracked up to be.
>>HOWEVER<<.. please take note that it's probably better to have a Facebook with minimal info and usage than to not have one at all. Facebook is just one of those things that the vast majority of people use. Not having one will definitely be seen as weird. You'll immediately be seen as a guy who skirts the edges of what's mainstream.
Unless you're ready to defend your choices and come across as a guy who's sure of what he's doing in spite of everyone else, then be ready to just be seen as a strange, lonely loser.
I don't always use Facebook, but when I do I make sure to post amazing, eye-catching content. Stay social my friends.

Facebook is a loaded gun, so if you handle it poorly it can go off in your face. My opinion and recommendations are as follows:

1. It can be useful for women to find you.

2. Invites to parties / music events / etc. often are done through there. If you are on there, it makes it easier to get invited and/or know what's going on.

3. Post very little stuff on there, i.e., the occasional funny video or something. Once a week or even less is probably a good ratio. When people say "don't spoil the mystery" this is correct and posting too often can do that. I rarely post but recently met a hot babe and we exchanged FB info. I don't have 2-5 things a day on there, but I did throw up about 3 new things in the next two weeks and this helped her to get to see more about the kind of guy I am. That said, a few friends noticed that I'm recently more active and I decided that a little less transparency was perhaps called for, i.e., don't over do it.

4. Don't go around "liking" other folks posts. It makes you look like you are kissing up to people.

5. It increasingly substitutes for email these days, so it is not bad to keep around but do not rely on it for interaction, communication.

6. Finally, if you do post something only here and there, often a chick interested in you cannot help herself in "liking" what you put up, so it is an okay (but not perfect) way to pick up on IOIs when you are not in their physical vicinity. See #3 above.

So use it as a tool, use it carefully, and use it wrong and it will only mess with your game.

One of my teacher's who used to despise myspace and denounce all social media finally got one. It's great not to burn bridges imo. Improves my social proof when going out.

Some girl you've been out with twice will want to check your "relationship status."

The relationship status thing is a lose - lose for men. I hope I don't have to explain why.

I had one but I deactivated it. I don't go around telling all of my personal business IRL so I would not post all of my personal business on the internet. The people I want to talk to, I see on a regular basis. I don't need to go online to see what they have been up to. Every once in a while if I want to be nosy, I will log in, look up the person I am being nosy about and then deactivate it again. Lol. I only use twitter to follow my favorite celebrities.

As you guys get older, you'll realize that facebook can be more harmful to you in terms of a career prospect than helpful in terms of getting laid.

Benefit of facebook for me? - I hate the people in this world a little less because I don't know what kind of idiot shenanigans they are up to...

 

[Alvafe]

well I make a facebook not too long ago, and I never really had, reason for making one? getting in touch with older colleges, and college friends, it also push me to be more sociable, something I need to change on myself, it also helped me start a new project with some friends, we are doing a pod cast for fun and seeing how it will go.

but also I never really post anything there, like pics, I have 2, I share some funny comments and or for info that is all, nothing too personal, and I only add people I know and will talk sometime or jsut to keep in touch with older friends living in other citys.

 

[JohnnyStorm]

I needed to concentrate on me, after spending far too much time thinking about other people and worrying what they thought.
By not having it thrown in my face what other people are up to, I can get on with my life. There are also just too many stalkers, "friends" and work colleagues who seem cool, but unbeknownst to you are hoarding all the information that you post online to use it against you.

I was addicted to checking it and if I can't control that, then it's better that I don't have it at all as it frees me to do other things.

Facebook can really bite you in the ass. What on earth posseses people to expose their lives for all the world to see is beyond my comprehension.

If you hav e a lawsuit going, Facebook can destroy you as the other side pulls evidence from there. It can also figure against you in a job search. Many people have lost career opportunies because of the inane things they have posted. Need I tell you what the government can do with your facebook info?

We live in an age where our privacy is evaporating right before our eyes. Why make it easy for them? I had a FB account but I closed it. I have a lawsuit in the works and I could easily see how FB could work against me.

I may have to open an account again for business purposes, but I will use it extremely sparingly and wisely.

Now excuse me, gents, I need to Tweet what I had for breakfast this morning.

Very interesting stuffs !
but the real main reason for me to stay away of this is that i had discovered very early in my first teenage years and I just turned 22 (awesome age) Now that the most 2 effective currencies when dealing with people and specially girls is your ATTENTION and your MYSTERY and believe me there are a lot of people (75% of them are girls) that know me for more than 5 years or more and the only thing they know about me is my name and some of my traits that they had figure out by themselves that's it .....you must ask how's that , i will tell you ...i act like SPY and i don't pretend that or lie when they ask me about something personal i just know how to answer their questions in a very vague way that they would be happy with my answers but it really there is no answers there . i never tell a girl exactly where i live or who are my close friends (for your knowledge i have many close friends that know a lot about me ) or what i had been doing when i'm not with here .this drive them crazy and they fall in love with you in very short time ...but besides mystery ATTENTION is even much better if you handle it in a wise way you are going too far in every aspect of your life .
and one more thing Picking up women using Facebook it's all about Looks at first and during the whole dating phases and even I am a very good looking guy I hate the fact that a girl will talk to me because she attracted to my looks ....my look is a gift from God and don't made it i may improve my look by working out and dress well call me crazy but i am interested in HB 9 or 10 if they are dump i weed out they very early if they are not quality women i hate the fact that they only improve their looks and not their personalities and lives man and believe me there is no fvvcking Love or LTR between a guy and a girl if their intellectual levels are not the same or close to each others and one more thing there is no Real LOVE or a Meaningful LTR between a guy who is not the opposite in his sexuality of the girl (the guy must be very masculine and the girl very feminine or a guy is half masculine and half feminine and the guy too half testosterone and half estrogen or a guy is feminine and the girl masculine ) this is very true for guys who are looking for real quality women and real meaningful LTR but for ONS and FB or FWB you don't need all this .
I know i go a little far of the real subject but there is a real connection and we her talking about game/women/dating/relationship.....

Don't know how a Facebook account prevents you from doing the above things.

 

[om1xr]

Don't know how a Facebook account prevents you from doing the above things.

i only give you guys simple examples but for you to understand me I am not against having a Facebook or anything.
so from my examples what i had meant i don't waste any time online on my PC or Phone so i have more time to do things i like and enjoy life more and if you use Facebook little or much i want you to count the time you spend on Facebook and what you had get from that time you had spent ...Your time is like money If you INVEST it you will get more pleasure and joy if you just spend it you may get something but it won't last long.

Not having one at all seems a little extreme (like not having a telephone because it's more "mysterious").

so now not being on facebook is equivalent to not having a phone? wow, i must be getting really old.
