Dexter Morgan Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I know what most of ya are gonna say, but here it is. When getting to know a potential committed partner, if I find out they have one of the following, I probably will let the courtship wither on the vine and not give much attention to pursuing said person. Are ya ready? Here it goes....I don't want someone with.............. . . . . . . . . . a facebook or myspace account
anne1707 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 OMG - I agree with Dexter! I sometimes think "is it just me who doesn't get it"
GorillaTheater Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I'm married, but if I were to ever find myself single that would definitely be a big negative, maybe even a deal killer. Seems pretty juvenile, and from what I've seen on these boards just one more source of drama and stupidity.
Author Dexter Morgan Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 LOL, its almost as if there are "worse" things I could overlook. But its like I feel the need to, in the middle of a dinner date conversation, just flat out ask, "do you have a facebook or myspace account"? If she says yes. I'd have to go, "Oh....*loosen collar*, damn, I'm sorry, I don't think this is going to work. Here, dinner is on me, here is some money for cab fair, and it was nice talking to you":cool:
fral945 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I agree, but then you pretty much eliminate about 95% of the general population under 30 as datable. It's about as likely as trying to find women that don't text. I think there are as many female texting addicts as there are male porn addicts.
Author Dexter Morgan Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 I agree, but then you pretty much eliminate about 95% of the general population under 30 as datable. Thats fine seeing as how I'm 40 and don't want someone that young. and if I were under 30 myself, then I'll hold out for that 5%. And if it were to never happen....so be it.
wuggle Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I'm 40+ and work in IT , I hate Facebook ! It is amazing at work , there does seem to be this dividing line. IMO about 32. If you're younger you have a facebook account if over you just think WTF. Think you will find plenty people over 32
voldigicam Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Biggest time waster and weirdness I've seen. My SO is sucked into it, but she'll get over it! She's 44. Just sucks her away, as if having a closed head injury and depression isn't enough. So I'm a facebook widower. And I don't like it. I tried it for about an hour and just plain didn't get it. I don't care what those other people are doing or what they think about what I'm doing. I know young people who aren't into as well. Ones with lives, nursing school, college courses. I can see the repulsion.
clv0116 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Well *I* have an account on both, but I never did anything with it. MySpace looks like someone went out binge drinking paint and then vomited all over the Internet. Facebook looked OK bit I don't see the point of it. I used to keep a private journal on livejournal but why bother? I have a digital journal I maintain now.

Maybe its age because if I had such a criteria there'd be no one to date.
Javelin Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 At 25 myself and by popular demand, I have both Myspace and Facebook, which I really ever use. However, in my own defense, I had signed up for them when they were exclusive, many years ago. For example, Facebook was originally for college students, particularly my generation (2000-2 high school graduates) to communicate, before it was opened up to the public. I'm not sure if MySpace had the same exclusiveness, but in it's beta form, I believe it was closed off.. Almost like GMail's previous, 'invite only' system. LOL, its almost as if there are "worse" things I could overlook. But its like I feel the need to, in the middle of a dinner date conversation, just flat out ask, "do you have a facebook or myspace account"? If she says yes.

Honestly, I don't think you'd have the balls to do that Dexter.
Author Dexter Morgan Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 As funny as the scenario would be, if the question were to ever come up... Honestly, I don't think you'd have the balls to do that Dexter. LOL, no, I probably wouldn't be that direct about it. But I wouldn't consider a date after that seriously at all. I'd find a nice way to phase out the dating process with said person.
Geishawhelk Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Here's the good news! I DO NOT HAVE A MYSPACE or FACEBOOK ACCOUNT! The bad news is: I'm short, flat-chested, can't wear heels, and I'm spoken for. (Hey, one out of five ain't bad.......! )

The bad news is: I'm short, flat-chested, can't wear heels, and I'm spoken for. (Hey, one out of five ain't bad.......! ) Hey, the "I'm spoken for" part is the only part that makes you undateable for someone like me. The rest is just fine. The other parts are not "bad news".
