Nope. I was a member about 10 years ago. In a wave of nostalgia I looked up people I went to school with but wasn't inspired to talk to any of them. Then people from work started friending me and I realized that even if I wanted to, I would no longer be able to post anything of value on it anyway.
Not to mention I think they abuse people's personal information and people are leaving it in droves.
Nope, stay away from it
It's mostly bullshit on that Facebook
Someone close to me was arrested for something somewhat serious and the media used Facebook to burn them in the public square...she was really raked over the coals
Prospective employers will seek out your selfies in Mexico when you were getting super wasted on a beach at midnight...
Several of my real life pals can't even be in the same room at my house parties now because of their fights on that goddam Facebook
I found out that my own wife had posted photos of me at our house parties on facebook several years ago from one of our parties...I was so pissed off at her I made her terminate the account
Facebook is very bad...AVOID
Public records are bad...I never appeared in a school yearbook for a reason...think about it

I'm a Gangster of Love❤️
shareApparently some folks on here haven’t figured out you are the Don Juan of MC....”a captivating man known as a great lover or seducer of women”. 😙😗😘🥰😍🤪
shareAnd here I thought he was Casanova.
shareBlame it on the Casanova...
🎵
I was at a dance
When he caught my eye
Standin' all alone
Lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance
Swayin' to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go
Blame it on the bossa nova
With it's magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova
That he did so well
Oh it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
Now was it the moon
No no the bossa nova
Or the stars above
No no the bossa nova
Now was it the tune
Yea yea the bossa nova
The dance of love
🎵
I'm more like Chewbacca

Hmmm...I would have known that if not for those pesky kids
shareThis one I like, but of course it will be playing in my head all day!😳
shareI had to quit watching....started to cause vertigo!😳🥴 I’m happy I hadn’t heard of this group!
shareI just use 'The Force'
It comes easy don't 'ya know😙
If they smoke some weed...you won’t have to use “The Force”. You know what smoking weed does....Hot Damn!!
shareI cut the weed out about two years ago, if that lovely plant shows up at a party I'll find myself puffing it...I've smoked about 3 times in the last 18 months
Are you saying you like the weed?
I tried some back in the late ‘70’s or early ‘80’s, can’t recall....too many red Solo cups! But, I do remember how it affected me. Several of my cousins had come into town for our grandmother’s funeral. One night we were sitting around the kitchen table. I was already 3 sheets to the wind so when one of them brought out the stuff I was game! Party hardy! That was me back in the day. (Someday I will have to tell you about one Thanksgiving morning and trying to clean a 22 lb turkey.)
Anyhoo, I kept drawing on the stoggie, shoggie whatever they’re called and remarking it wasn’t affecting me. “I don’t see what’s so great about these things!” Cuz says “It takes awhile for first timers.” I don’t remember whether he was talking about weed or sex! A little more of the red Solo cup while still dragging on that thing. All of a sudden, Damn! Sam! It hit me and hit me hard!
I started laughing and squirming in my seat! It hit me in the nether region big time and I let it be known! We were around that table all night up to the wee hours of the morn. I had to let it wear off or I would have attacked my husband, who was home in bed! I didn’t want him to know what I had been doing. I lived 5 houses down from the one cuz. She got chewed out by her husband because we kept him all night with our rather loud partying. He had to work and couldn’t sleep. That was the last time we were together and some have left this earthly plain. 😞
I feel you on the loss of your Granny...your post reminds me that I MUST call my parents this weekend to touch base
I'm awful at keeping in touch with my folks:/
Weed does get us feeling all horny, right ?!?
Tell us this 22 pound Turkey story!
I have never been on facebook. I assure you, you have missed nothing.

As far as 'the hive' is concerned you seem like you can handle yourself froggyandtoadie
Part of The Hive...resistance is futile.
shareI'll share a funny story or two...
I work in a rather interesting field for my company. We deal with all types of emergencies and security issues. Anyway, one of the call centre staff was upset because a male customer she spoke to found her on Facebook and started asking her out! Ok.. so I look up her profile even though I am not a member, I see it is all public. She had 300 photos, she is young attractive and many of the photos would get a guy going.
She has the company logo on her page! Ummmmm... yeah, how did this customer find you again???
We had to explain that this customer hadn't done anything wrong. It is not against the law (yet) to ask someone out. Victim blaming or not, she needs to make her profile private and remove anything that identifies her as working for the company!
Also seen idiot staff talk about drug use, post all sorts of stupid crap, depression, other stuff like that which is personal or should be personal. They don't understand, once you post it online with your name attached to it. It can and will be used against you!
The world ain't no safe space that's for sure.
Just as an experiment in the early 2010s, my mom [briefly] made a Facebook page, and used an old photo of her younger self on her profile. Back in the 80s, she was a gorgeous redhead with pale skin and brown eyes (small wonder my dad fell for her, lol). Now here's the creepy part: you would not believe how many black and Asian guys kept wanting to friend her or talk to her! What is it about redheads that turns on black and Asian men?! I don't get that at all!
After a week of that crap, she deleted her page.
I remember reading ages ago how a woman and her husband went to China for work. They had a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes and the first time they went out onto the street in no time they were surrounded by a crowd of Chinese women gawping at the little girl. Looking at her and touching her hair. It's the novelty I guess.
Mind you a really beautiful redhead is about as good as it gets. Their skin tends to be so fine and smooth and some have that salmon pink colour which is just glorious.
i think the better question is "why are black and asian men trawling facebook for women?"
shareAs one Indian guy I work with put it "I like white women. Indian women don't do shit" shit of course being porno type stuff. He is with an overweight depressed white woman who won't work. He could get a better looking Indian woman. But of course, she wouldn't do "shit".
shareOmg eww! Blacks AND Asians?! I thought they only let whites on the interweb. I’m sure there is a white supremacy dating sight she could join but I’m not sure if they’re accepting of gingers.
shareNon white men really go nuts over pale skin in general and lighter coloured hair. You have to keep in mind that in their countries everyone has dark hair, dark skin and brown eyes. So it is exotic to them.
I think porn plays a huge part in it all as well. Most porn is with white women.
I have sat with female friends when they have used dating sites and the amount of crap messages they receive is amazing I agree.

Oh I never thought of that. I wonder if that might help to explain why so many single young African men are so keen on getting into Europe...?

I don't know any Africans to ask them but a Pakistani I work with said that coming to Australia is all about white women. I don't know if he is being a wise guy but he is married to a white woman.
shareI had a fake account years ago for a very short time, mainly because some websites required a FB account to use them. I soon decided the whole thing was ridiculous and deleted my account.
shareI don't listen when my phone games keep pushing me to use an FB account. It truly isn't worth it.
shareIt annoys me as well when so many sites push FB.
shareYep; I play SimCity Buildit and the game tells me that the only way to save my game progress so that it can be restored if I lose it in an update, is to link it to a Facebook account. I don't want a Facebook account. I live in mild panic about losing data of my city I've lovingly built!
Another game I play that uses just as much need to store your progress, doesn't demand such a link - they can restore your game play simply via linking to your e-mail account.
At this point, no. I deleted my account years ago, but still use Instagram to keep in touch with old friends and check out local businesses who advertise on there.
