here's another way in which facebook is scary. I only have... 167 friends. The last 3 guys I went on dates with, only knowing their first name, I was able to find out their last names almost instantly just by
typing their first name into the "search" bar at the top. Granted, 2 had moderately unique names... Oh hell I'm not even posting this on FB so, it found "Gil" and "Martin" instantly, first name that popped up,
based on some six-degrees-of-seperation within the gay community or somethin I'm assuming. Actually just re-checked and BOTH only have one mutual friend.
the other "Brandon" had 3 mutual friends so it has to be that. But still. I live in Cleveland, there are a LOT of people here, even when you narrow the sample size down to just gay guys
and I would be surprised if... BRB counting how many gay guys from Cleveland are in the 167 lol
Yeah. 23 gay guys (that I know of lol) in Cleveland, 6 out of state. Something really makes my gut think this is sorting based on more than just mutual friends
This guy I've been seeing over the last week, lets call him "Ryan" because that's his name... Someone said they thought they knew him, and I hadn't asked his last name yet but just looked at their friends list.
He has no pics of himself on facebook, but based on him having his friends list public I figured out it was him in like under a minute... which apparently freaks a guy out if you suddenly know his last name and
he doesn't know yours yet
I don't like that I get friend requests from people that I am positive I don't know and who don't add any kind of intro to the request. They need to give me some kind of backstory ffs.
They are creepers <there, that's the typical backstory. I get girls that are almost certainly not that girl in the picture(and barking up the wrong tree), and when the dude in toledo and I broke up an influx
of dudes in toledo. See also entry under "creepy"
I have a love hate r'ship with fb. I have less than 60 friends and have a dozen ignored friends requests sitting in there. I just don't like accessible it can make me to people I haven't spoken to in 20 years
I try to make my fb a private as possible and I don't put r'ship info on it. I regret giving fb other info, like when I graduated, etc.
So fb is forever showing me singles ads lol
