lol well that’s the problem right there. (but I know you’re kidding)

I did enjoy having a page and it was a good way for me to keep in touch with family since most of them are on the other side of the country or overseas but in the end it was the creeps that made it no longer worthwhile. It might be better now, but the privacy controls were shit and you have no control over the people who your friends and family add or how they treat your photos.

I have everything set as “friends only” and that you can’t search for me.

I really only have a facebook to keep in touch with some guys from TNation and damn, facebook is awesome for finding hook ups.

Once someone looking for you finds some of the people on your friends list they can just browse to you.

But they can’t see anything unless they are friends, I believe.

Yeah they can’t see anything aside from your profile picture (I wouldn’t be surprised if you can turn that off too I just don’t see the option). You can make it so only your friends can message you (or heck no one can message you), make your profile unsearchable on google and on FB itself. I’m really not sure what is so scary about being on Facebook.

And when your sister-in-laws sister friends you, how do you know that it’s actually her, when your sister-in-law has all her setting to public and her family pictures are everywhere?

Or a creepy person just added himself to EVERYONE on your friend’s list (and got accepted on a couple attempts even)

It gets to be too tiresome to protect your privacy when there are people determined to track you down. And people DO this.

I’m not saying anyone should shut it down either but there are many people who have really good reasons to stay off the network.

Wow you sound extremely paranoid. Are you really worried about impostors? Is that a realistic concern for you?

EDIT: I just clicked on your profile on T-Nation and it’s unlocked where there are half naked pics of you. I’m surprised you are sensitive to your privacy on FB but not here.

I never signed up for a personal facebook account. I use it for some of my work personas but that’s it.

My big issue is that I don’t want to blend my different groups of friends. I have some old friends I grew up with who have no idea what I do for a living. Then I have a few old friends who do know. My husband’s work friends and their wives (who we socialize with regularly) don’t know BUT my personal friends do know. Then I have my huge freaking family. Most of them don’t know but a small handful do know, although they’re the ones I trust enough not to say anything about it.

All it would take is one of my whorish stripper friends to post something like “OMG, did that drunk dude actually end up buying your pee?!” or “Shit, that guy was fucking hot, if I was you I’d of banged him in the CR!” and I’d be flooded with phone calls. No thanks, lol.

I can totally understand you wanting to keep your friends separate. Not everyone would be okay with your chosen career. Personally, I think (from reading your posts on here) that it would be nice to call you friend. Who cares what you do for a living? You’re a nice person, feet on the ground, a great mom, hard-working, pay your taxes, blah blah blah. Now, you could be totally different IRL and how you portray yourself on here could be totally false. But what would you get out of it? There’s no reason to be anybody but yourself on a bodybuilding website.

That’s why you will never see my face here :stuck_out_tongue:

It is a realistic concern. I have had a stalker, not one from the web but from real life. According to the cop I was dealing with, in recent experience, every episode of harassment and stalking she had dealt with recent involved facebook and her first recommendation to people with issues is to shut down the page.

Wow, thank you. I have to be other people for a good chunk of the day so this is where I go to be myself when I have some time to kill. It’s nice to know that I don’t come off like a complete bitch, I worry about that sometimes. ;p

Honestly, facebook is nothing more than a vehicle for me to abuse people on and a place to keep in contact with girls I have, or might one day, bang or bang again. I refer to it as “The Bullpen.”

If you really give any serious thought to any of it, or the shit that goes on on the internet, you need a fuckin life. [/quote]

Next time I’m just gonna PM you for advice. I always end up “fired up” and passionate to do something after reading what you write.[/quote]

I completely agree with this. I won’t add anyone from work. I feel bad telling them no and explaining to them why I won’t, but I always just say, “Listen, facebook is for my good friends and I to fuck around with. That’s it.”

I don’t accept adds from family for exactly the same reason. Last thing I need is one of my buddies talking about how they had to hide the bottle of Jameson in the dryer last night so I’d finally stop drinking or some shit, and then have family that don’t know me that well see it. No thanks.

I’m also a ghost on there though. Different name, hometown, email, you can’t search for me, etc.

Yep - the downside to being an attractive woman. It never ceases to amaze me what creepy fucks some guys can be.

I mean, seriously - what do you hope to accomplish with a stalker approach like that? You’re obviously not going to ever bag the object of your affection, and even worse, not only is she not interested in you romantically to start with, now you take a dive into the NEGATIVE when she obviously thinks you’re disgusting, creepy scum (which you are).

Sucks. As for me it’s just fine for keeping in touch with old friends and family. I promote my music a bit, and just use it as a general goof-off fun tool to socialize. But really I’m too busy with school to dick around, plus at my age it’s just for talking to family and friends. My profile is not public. I usually put some song lyrics or movie quotes as my status…lol.

I’m sure it’s an awesome hook-up tool if you’re single as Way pointed out.

This is really the best way to go about it IMO. If I had the sense when I first created my account I would have done it like that.
