Bragging on Facebook

lufties · 14-08-2012 07:17PM #1

I must say, I've noticed facebook has become a site basically for bragging...in the beginning it didnt seem that way for some reason...maybe i'm just envious but i think stuff like bragging about 'buying a second skyscraper apartment with your beautiful thai wife' is just attention seeking...or letting everyone know that 'your other half has a big swimming pool in his/her gaff' is just cringe..

Are people gone mad or what. People who are quite normal in person turn out to be boasting, approval seeking eejits posting on fb.

Can anyone relate to what I'm talking about? or Maybe I'm the one who's mad Ted:D

Facebook has always been about showcasing a persons image and how they want to be perceived. It gives unrealistic portrayals of people

Thinly veiled I have rich mates thread.

Facebook is handy for stalking people. That's the only good reason I can come up with as to why anyone uses it.

I filtered out all the people that annoy me so all that comes up on my news feed is softcore porn from a page called Fap Nation.

facebook is mainly used for braging and attention seeking. People seem to want to document there livies on facebook. Have a few (female) friends that would take photos on a night out for the sole purpose of putting up on facebook. i mean cant you just go and enjoy a night out without have documented evidence of it plastered all over the internet

leggo · 14-08-2012 07:24PM

That's what everybody is like in general. Facebook just puts it in writing. People are, generally, cnuts.

A recent saying springs to mind..."if my real life was half as interesting as my Facebook life I'd be much happier"

Yes very confused, and I must say the wimmin seem to be the worst for it...one girl I know, in person is a very quiet, conservative type..but on FB she is this really cool, fun party girl...all accompanied with finger on lip poses :rolleyes:

Runs for cover:D

marshbaboon · 14-08-2012 08:14PM

I've had to make a new account to keep in touch with a half dozen people.

My god I hate the website. People babbling on about inane, banal crap all the while thinking they're amazing, beautiful butterflies.

I'm simply not going to accept any requests any more...

... unless they're female...

... and hot......................

....................... and like philosophy & science..........

Sorry, forgot where I was going with this.

I wish Facebook had a slap button.

14-08-2012 08:22PM

Yep. It's useful for weeding out the total c*nts who managed to escape the c*ntdar in real life.

This just came up on my newsfeed (from an ex-colleague):

My boss told just me that one of our biggest clients apparently fancies me! Me: "Well, can you blame him?" Boss: "No, you are gorgeous."

People actually talk like that about themselves?

hefferboi · 14-08-2012 08:25PM

I hate people.

Butterface · 14-08-2012 08:27PM

What's been bothering me lately is the amount of pictures of food (mainly seems to be cupcakes and pizzas) that are posted by the same people several times a day. Most of these people are in seriously bad health (overweight), so I'm not sure if they feel that sharing a picture to facebook is akin to sharing the food with others. It's not.

Are you in really good shape but have an ugly face?

Guilty. I posted this seafood chowder last Friday. I just wanted to make everyone jealous.

Memes I hate memes..

On the plus side, FB is great for songwriters, artists, photographers, writers, film-makers, etc; who want to share ideas/work with one another.

It's the baby pictures that drive me mad. I mean the baby must literally have only popped out before some of the Mums have the pics on Facebook. Then there are the ones of them lying in bed together with baby & partner Very sweet but they are the type of photos that should remain private IMO.

blacklilly · 14-08-2012 08:38PM

The posed pictures really annoy me, theres this girl I know....unfortunately, anyway she's really into fitness (Jodi marsh) style and constantly puts pictures of herself up in gym gear with captions like "ugh feel so fat" there's more fat on an apple

+1000, have a friend who just gave birth and less than 10minutes later the picture was up on FB. What are these people thinking? Why would I want to see a half naked pic of a girl who still has the "just gave birth" look?
