Social websites are the plague of today’s generation….. People spend hours on the net missing out on bumping into their future ex girlfriends at the park
Getting right into it, social networking sites have greatly affected the currents society’s overview of love, relationships and heartbreak.
Facebook and Twitter are the main culprits where people instantly fall in love with profile pictures that have been airbrushed by Photoshop applications, but only after being taken in the precisely chosen lighting and from the best side of the face of course…..
Newbies in the social websites may not have the same expertise in dealing with the constant flirting and we’ll booty calls so to say. The following are some of the most absurd things I have noticed about social sites that makes people disillusioned about love, sex and heartbreak:
1. Commenting on my posts automatically makes me think you’re interested in me, except if we are blood related.
2. Long inbox threads or TL conversations count as “getting to know each other”
3. A hot profile means she/he is the one.
4. Asking to hook up means we have had enough time to know each other online and we can probably trust each other enough to call it a relationship and copulate!
5. If another person flirts with your online crush…..hehe… this means war!
I wonder how we can get over this sort fairly tail mentality
where Mr. Right now is meant to fall right into your laps from God knows where or….adds you as a friend. Laying claim to a person that you have never met before when most probably ten other people.
There are certain facts that people need to know: profile pictures can be edited, statuses can be quoted from poems, books or songs and the internet is not the place to be looking for love or any other kind of affection for that matter.
However I will give it to those people who have made realistic relationships from social sites. However these relationships where built on something far more beyond the keyboard, a screen and a good internet connection.
Am also concerned about the general safety of anyone who plans to meet with a stranger that they met off the net, criminals and sociopaths take advantage of the vulnerability of individuals to commit crimes and much worse than those heinous crimes is the risk of infections with STIs. *drops mic*
