Making Friends and Getting Feedback on Social Media

Holaaaaaaaaaaa! Well, I’m back to regular internet activities and it hasn’t taken long for things to get wild and crazy!

I will start by updating folks on my continuing experimentwith Facebook groups. I continue to join different “Let’s Be Friends” and “Add Me” groups and continue to have pretty much the same experience as I had before. I have added several new “friends” though, so that’s cool. There hasn’t been a lot of interaction with any of them, but a couple of them and I have exchanged “likes” on posts and even a couple of “pokes.” So, that’s progress, I guess.

There was one pretty funny situation in one of the groups. A lot of really hot chicks post in these groups because they want to build up thousands of “friends” and “followers” so they can then sell the account to some spammers. It’s always funny to watch lonely middle-aged men fall for this tactic. Well, one woman got tired of her man trying to get with the young babes in these groups and decided to post a warning …


She didn’t know why I found that funny. I told her I hope she could keep her man under control. She basically replied that it isn’t easy cause the women can’t resist him.

There was one other interaction with a lovely lady, or at least someone who set up an account claiming to be a very lovely lady and using someone’s pics. You can never really know, right? Anyway, she sent me a friend request and I accepted. We then had this exchange in chat …

Her: Thanks for accepting.
Me: You’re welcome! Thanks for adding me.
Her: No problem. What are you up to?
Me: Nothing much, just woke up.
Her: Oh really? Do you like to play in the mornings?
Me: Play?
Her: Yes, with me?
Me: Oh no, I gave up Facebook games. They’re a time suck.
Her: Well I was talking about sucking, but not Facebook games.
Me: Uh, okay. I think.
Her: Never mind!

And that’s when she defriended me.  

I had mixed results in another dark corner of the internet this week too. I posted a link to my review of the beautiful and vibrant cityof Omaha, Nebraska over on the r/Omaha board on Reddit. I was hoping that the good folks of Omaha would appreciate my glowing review of their wonderful city and see that I love it as much as they do. Hell, part of me hoped that they might even make me an honorary citizen.

For the most part, they did seem pretty supportive. They appreciated my description of the northern parts of the city and a couple even chuckled, possibly even guffawed, at my description of Omaha drivers. As of the writing of this post, I currently have 41 upvotes and only 14 downvotes. That’s a 75% approval rating and you really can’t ask for much more than that.

Unfortunately, a couple of folks weren’t as enthralled with me and my review as the rest and they chose to let me know about it. Here is a sampling of the negative comments…

- “What a hilariously stupid pile of shit”
- “Whodafuq is this tool and has he ever been to Omaha?”
- “I hardly think Warren Buffett is a cheap skate. Also, the writing of this kept flip-flopping between tedious and too cutesy.”
- “Nice piece on Omaha, but c'mon man...No mention of Marlin Perkins!!?” ß What an asshole, amirite?

Okay, so some of those comments hurt just a little. Maybe even a lot. But, just like with the Facebook groups I’m not gonna focus on the mean, hate-filled trolls of the world. I’m gonna focus on the positive people who enjoyed my post and find me pleasant and funny and probably want to be my friend.

You are really "getting out there"; way to go, but that guy who commented about Marlin Perkins? What the hell was that all about? What a douchebag. Cheers Jayman!!

Matt doesn't know who Marlin Perkins is?

I almost mentioned the whole Mutual of Omaha thing in my initial response. Now I'm glad I didn't!

Never completely understood what an insurance company had to do with tying up gazelles, but hey... Marlin Perkins!

Those dark corners of the internets frighten me, and I've seen a lot. A LOT!
I love how that woman with the philandering husband totally blames it on all the women who apparently throw themselves at him. Hoes- the lot of them.

I'm With Stupid said...

Matt-Man: That Marlin Perkins comment was totally uncalled for.

Katy: Mutual of Omaha was my favorite animal show when I was growing up. I was disappointed to find that they don't have a wild animal safari on their headquarters.

Angie: I normally like to hang out in those dark corners, but some times it gets to be too much even for me. And yes, lots of hos in those Facebook groups.

The part about you giving up Facebook games still stings.

Sigh.

Jamie: Sorry sweetie. I'll be back though!

directoryofangels.com Playing sports and having sex is very much likened. The only thing I have likened is that, over time, they will both last longer. You know the fatigue from that rawness in the early days. You get tired immediately because you haven’t played sports for a long time. Your breath runs out in a very short time. After a while, you start to get used to it. The same thing exists in sex. You cannot share very long-term relationships with your partner. Over time, you train yourself and your body on this subject. Apart from that, it has no direct relationship with sports. We notice this change when I do not meet men for one night in my bed. In particular, I see more clearly with men I have sex at least once a week. They also know that they have seen a rapid recovery. I’m not talking about bodily improvement alone. In addition, of course, his skills in sex are also developing. It’s really important to know how to use this 15 to 20-centimeter piece of meat. Men They see this in my call girl rate in Goa services. They also start learning. They discover how much they can change on a woman.
