my thoughts on myspace.com

[Dimebag_Darrell]

So, I gave myspace.com a try and for the past two weeks I've created and built a profile on myspace.com and I've come to the conclusion that as any other trend, this sh*t isn't my kind of shin dig. How the hell do you make a friend's list based on a few clicks of a mouse. F*ck that.

I got 40 people on my list of "friends' in a week. That sh*t just ain't right.

F*ck myspace, i'm getting a job.

I like myspace because I see who my friends' friends are, and you see who their friends are, and so on, and it's actually pretty cool to see how everybody knows each other. But yeah, the enjoyment I get from myspace is seeing all the hot babes and "Single" in their profile. =)

It's a different game online. I've been chatting for well over 5 years and on myspace for over one year. It's like shooting fish in a barrel once you know what you're doing.

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

what u mean? You can use myspace for meeting hoes?

 

[ER!C L!VE]

There's like 10 million girls on myspace - literally. They're not all good girls

 

[thederekeffect1]

In the three days that I've had a MySpace profile, I've already had 2 women send me "want to meet up?" notes. The only thing that I have in my profile is a few pictures and my title: "A skitzo on a mission".

I don't know. Not my thing.

 

[ER!C L!VE]

2 girls in 2 weeks sending you messages about meeting up?

lol - I get one of those about every 6 months - from fat old chicks.

You're doing something right!

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

hmm never really thought about myspace as a meet up thing well except for that one date i got tonight..

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

whoa bad ass

myspace deserves to die

 

[Deep Dish]

I have dual use out of my myspace profile (I am not referring to the one listed in my signature, which is my parody profile). I primarily use myspace for keeping in contact with friends/using the “events” function to organize events/hearing about events at businesses I frequent, and secondarily for meeting the ladies.

As per the former, instead of having to individually call up friends and play phone tag, not to mention having to say the same thing over and over, with myspace you say something once and then send out invitations. Plus, I get invited to events that I would otherwise never know about.

As per the latter, many guys focus their profile to be a dating profile but I rather focus my profile as a friend profile. It’s the proverbial focusing on myself. I also get “always on” social proof; not only do I have many hot ladies on my list but I get comments from them, which helps “raise my value” in the eyes of prospective ladies. In real life, social proof is moment-by-moment but on myspace it’s always on. The website is also a good way for me to find atheists which is difficult to do in real life in a timely and effecient fashion; I tried secular websites but they are so obscure as to be rendered useless.

But myspace is so reliant on social proof that it can be hard to get the ball rolling. For myself, I added about 150 porn stars to my friends list—which was quick and easy to do since they are all connected to each other and will add anyone—then I added real girls, then I deleted the vast majority of the porn stars.

how do you convince people to comment, I can never do that.

Comment on their pages. Most of the time they never comment back but a few do, and obviously the ones who do are more likely to do it again in the future. It seems to depend on what you look like, how popular is your profile, and what you say (e.g. saying "Thanks for the add" usually doesn't result in anything, but making a witty/creative remark might).

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

I find it funny when I get added on by some hot slut and I read her comment box or pictures and all the comments are like

"Hey, you should comment"

"Your sooo sexy"

"I wish I had her"


total AFC filth.

I should start posting comments that are purposefully AFCish so it comes off as sarcastic.

I'm sick of myspace

I'm sick of every profile there are girls that are making out, or claiming to be bisexual for attention.

And some girls are getting so arrogant that they actually make detailed instructions for messaging them.
1. I will not respond to hey baby you're hot!
2. If I don't think you're cute don't send a request
3. I'm only looking for girls right now, guys get lost....blah blah blah

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

YEAH!!

I sooo hate that sh*t

Like I've got one on my friend's list and she's got a section called random facts and she's basically stating how she hates everyone and then in the About me part she warns about messaging.

holy sh*t I swear you've gotta go through a physical, a drug screen and a background check and cut off your penis in order to comment or message

 

[Deep Dish]

True but in all fairness to the ladies, they are swamped by e-mails from thugs making insipid remarks.

So long as who you are is "tight", the other guys don’t matter. When I was on my clicking spree making friend requests without first e-mailing them, a practice which women understandably complain about, I found it amusing how many girls added me when in their profile they had said "I won't add you if you don't try to talk to me first."

MySpace was like shooting fish in a barrel. I cancelled my account after six weeks because I had -- and still have -- my hands full from it; 80 "friends," all girls within 20 miles. The thing is, only one of the girls I met on MySpace is particularly interesting, and she's not really attractive to me. Three were cute enough to warrant pursuing into bed (or car hood, in one case :woo: ) one gives world-class head so I kept her number around, and five of them flaked -- stood me up, never called, nothing.

I am of the impression that girls who date through MySpace have something seriously wrong with them -- the ones I've met -- even the cute ones -- aren't the type you'd go up to in a club; they just have a Bad Juju vibe -- either a fvcked-up backstory, or some sort of mild personality disorder that makes your hackles go up after talking to her for a few minutes.

One really hot little Latina chick turned out to actually be a man who was "into role playing" but wanted to stay on my Friends list.

But from a practical sense, I gathered four lays in six weeks, with no more investment than a drinks/coffee date with any of them. Efficient, but decidedly not fun. I'd rather work the real world.

bah, well i use it still to this day.

I've met some crazy *****es, some real skanky girls, and some really sweet girls that I'm still friends with to this day.

I've done three girls from myspace, all of which were pretty average girls, no models no tens here.

I've gone out with one girl that was truely a 9 or a 10. She was such a ***** I was glad to take her home.

Bottom line is myspace is sort of weird, think about yourself and your 'natural' circle of friends. Now think about meeting random people that live in your city, and trying to 'date' them. You end up in some pretty ****ed up situations with people that you don't 'belong' with. I've gotten that vibe a couple times. Thats the badpart about myspace.

But then I look back, and there is honestly two girls i met on myspace. The one is my current girlfriend. The other is a great friend of mine (we ****ed a few times, but now we're just friends). I think its worth a shot.

Don't make it your only game, but its a decent starter for a guy who works the 9-5 grind and just wants to setup some dates and meet some people.

I have over 100 contacts in my phone and I can get dates with pretty girls any night of the week, but its sorta weird. When you date that much, it gets kinda deja vu ish, you do the same thing new girl every night.

Sometimes two girls in the same night.

Its weird, it has its downfalls, but its good sometimes as well.
