Bells Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 (New woman by the way, lol) There's this woman I had met through friends,we hang out at this same place all the time, and everytime she sees me she's flirty and huggy with me all the time, we had seen each other quite a few times at these gatherings. Well, I was home, and happened to see her profile through another friend of mines MySpace. I asked her if I could add her, and she responded that she likes to keep "New" people at a distance. I was like "huh"? (Her profile is private, so I can only see her one photo) How come some people are funny about who they add to their friends list on M.S.?
Star Gazer Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Because SOME people put personal information on their pages that they don't want any old Joe that they met for 2 minutes to see. Their employers, their schools, the identity of their friends, what they did last weekend, photos, etc.
PrincessPeach Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Because everyone is different. Personally I don't even like having or looking at online networking profiles of the guys I am interested in. It becomes habit forming to scour them for information, but there is never anything positive to gain from that. Any of the personailty/favorites they write about are things you know or would learn from being with them in person anyway, and then anything else you find, such as comments from other people only makes you paranoid that X person might like him or maybe he is inappropriately interacting with Y person. Yada yada if we go looking we find things to be insecure about.
prettybaby Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I was the same as her before. I didn't want random people seeing my page, it was personal. And even if I had seen them a few times in person, it was not enough to be in the trust zone. That being said, I no longer care because I deleted everything and can't be bothered to keep up crap like MySpace and Facebook lol So problem solved. If people want to keep in touch, they can do it in real life.
D-Jam Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 It's just a web site. Doesn't mean anything. I've seen people get all into a big mess because the person they got into a RL with hasn't changed his/her profile to "In A Relationship"...yet maybe this person logs in once every month. That or they get all furious because their SO didn't make them their top friend, or he/she won't have their main photo be a shot of the two of them as a couple. Or worse someone of the opposite sex leaves a flirty comment, and they insist he/she delete the comment and delete that person off their friend's list. Some people take this crap way too seriously.
BrooklynBridge Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Do you always find fault in someone you meet? Every thread you start has some sort of criticism of someone....just curious, not trying to be disparaging to you.
whichwayisup Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 and she responded that she likes to keep "New" people at a distance. She doesn't really "know" you so ofcourse she isn't going to add you as a friend on her MS or facebook. I take it you've taken this personally and are upset by her refusing the friendship request? Because if you push this on her, she WILL think you're a nut.
