    I do, mainly because I've fuck all else to do. It's good for finding out when 'mates' have had parties you didn't get an invite to, finding pictures of fit girls and just general perving.

    So, do you?

    Its no replacement for real life stalking. Much more of a thrill factor.

    What about a FCUKBOOK account?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    Thankfully, I don't even know what Facebook stalking is.

    Those sort of sites make my skin crawl.
    Input your information here so you we can figure out what kind of consumer you are....

    Added a girl I met briefly in Galway a few weeks back out of politeness.

    Next thing I know I have about 20 notifications reading 'so and so' has commented on a photo of you...

    She gone back through about 2 years of photos... and yes it is a tad creepy.

    she wants you inside her, no doubt about it~!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Not really - now and again I see someone commenting on the same thing as myself and think "Oh, they seem funny/interesting/sound/hot" and click on their profile... but it's usually restricted - possibly due to fears that their funniness/interestingness/soundness/hotness will attract stalkers.

    yah i facebook stalk!!

    only a few people though, but i suppose that makes it soo much worse!!:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Yes, everybody that has a Facebook account has done it at some stage.

    You would see a buddy has a hot friend you dont know and clcik away then you find yourself looking through their pics or freidns and so the cycle goes on and on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I don't facebook-stalk but I would definitely like to learn how.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,251 ✭✭✭massdebater


    yep it's the only reason i joined FB!

    handy for finding out if someone's available or not. when on a nite out and chatting to a girl, find out her full name, quick trip to the jacks, FB on the fone and their "relationship status" is usually displayed without having to add her as a friend.

    saves that awkward situation of having to find out if she's fair game or not


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,924 ✭✭✭✭RolandIRL


    No, because i have a life, and that life is BOARDS :D

    I always thought it was called grooming.

    I too often go to the jacks and browse Facebook.

    Creepy!

    Just use a line like "Ah if you were single, I'd ask for your phone number"....'awkward' situation averted.

    Ew.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 250 ✭✭Delicate_Dlite


    I can honestly say I've never fb stalked.

    However bumped into an ex a while a back at a mutual friend's bday, He admitted fb stalking me,...and he seemed more than a lil put out that I hadn't fb stalked him.

    Did I break some rule, are we now expected to fb stalk?

    Hows it ew?

    All he said was he checks her relationship status. He goes to the jacks cause it's a handy excuse to leave momentarily and she can't follow him in there while he checks her relationship status.

    Unless you were thinking something else, in which case you have a filthy mind :P.

    I hate facebook now, I do my best to avoid it whenever I can. Facebook has replaced the pub in small towns. Every Tom dick and Gertrude is on it gossiping and gawping at photos and it's not like you can say no to the friend request or the ***** will hold a ****ing grudge against you. Now people think I'm a prick because I don't reply to every stupid flippant remark they make about the most inane shyte.

    The only reason I signed up to facebook was to talk to people I'd met through couchsurfing and backpacking but now they hate me too because I'm ignoring them along with every other silage eater in this town. What fecking ejit thought it would be a good idea to give farmers access to the internet?! :mad:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    If stalking is looking at friends pics but not anyone in particular then yes.
    If no then no.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,072 ✭✭✭PeterIanStaker


    No, how would you like it if someone was doing it to you?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    I'm more or less with Dudess in so far as I'll see someone interesting in a reply and go to their profile.

    But when I get a new friend on FB I immediately stalk their photos, so I'm a stalker of sorts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 322 ✭✭Apolloyon


    No. Just think about it. If you took the word Facebook out of the thread title, how acceptable would it be?

    And if you think it's just fine, just think about all the people 'facebook stalking' you? Nice isn't it?

    Oh and no, none of them are 'hawt'. Sorry!;)

    I think I'll delete my Facebook account. Load of shíte

    No, I don't care about your fcukin turnips on your farm


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Meh, the only thing worse than being stalked on Facebook is not being stalked on Facebook...
    when I get a new friend on FB I immediately stalk their photos, so I'm a stalker of sorts.
    I wouldn't consider that stalking though - they're effectively saying to you by giving you access to their account and not restricting their photos "Here, take a look at my pics".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 201 ✭✭DJMG92


    who doesnt!!

    I don't.

    I'm well suprised at everyone saying they do, I just don't get time or else I'm not very interested in my fellow humans.

    Or else my FB 'friends' are not interesting to me or in me.........ur...:(


    Edit: Plus I thought people would be able to tell if your viewed their stuff...
