I always thought facebook was decidedly un-“T”.
That and if I got facebook, then it woudn’t be funny when I’m leaving a party and girls say “hey, I’ll message you on facebook, we should hang out. Tee hee.” and I just nod and smile.
I might be partial but dosn’t facebook just seem kind of weinery?
yeah, social networking is for pussy.

well played sir… well played.
Thread interruption.
TJN713, who is the girl in your avatar?
Well I deff. got a bunch of you guys as facebook friends, and it’s refreshing that we can find each other through another medium. I plan on traveling throught the US and possibly Europe, training with people across the nation would be cool. My 2 cents.
Again, it is a nice medium for keeping up with people you otherwise would be incapable of keeping up with. I don’t get all that mad at facebook, i get mad at how over-communicated we are, and how it seems like it can be a little poisonous to building actual strong relationships, and instead offers people a playground for immaturity.
Sadly, Stronghold, every girl that wants to hang out and add me to their facebook isn’t every girl that I actually want to hang out with. While it may seem un-T to get a facebook so a bunch of people I don’t want to talk to and am unattracted to can talk to me, well it’s just my twisted logic at work I guess. If i want to see a girl again I’ll give her my phone number, plan to meet her some where, or take her back to my dorm. It all goes back to my rationale behind facebook fostering meaningless relations.
Bear in mind my perspective is that of a college student surrounded by college students.
Facebook is lame as hell, but it’s a necessary tool to keep up with the social environment at college. At least around here.
That’s too bad, but now I realize what TC means by a silent majority on the forums, I mean god damn, there’s 800+ members in this group, and I only recognize a handful of posters on the group.
P.S. When Jen Heath has a facebook, facebook isn’t lame, it’s godly, to see someone as awesome as her on it.
I don’t recognize a single person in there.
Really there is no point for a T-Nation facebook group since you can add friends on this site, PM them, etc.
LOL @ most facebook groups.
I have a facebook (leave me alone stalkers) and its great for the college crowd (like myself), but for the youngins and old fogies who don’t understand this new fangled internet, its kinda the pits.
Honestly, facebook groups suck. People join them to say they are in a group. There’s not enough social interaction like on this site. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Thats why I’m here browsing and not on facebook.
I hope I’ve offended someone. If I didn’t, I’m not doing my job.
Why is it so useful for the college crowd?
When I ask people around me (a pretty neutral college crowd) they mostly say they have it to keep in touch with people and see what everyone is up to. I don’t really understand that, they are friends with everyone they go to college with, or see on a regular basis. I mostly just see people using it to look at other people’s pictures, and know everything about what everyone is doing. They also check it to see if there are any parties they can go to. I’m always a little bothered when people I’ve never met or am not really freinds with ask me if I know of any parties. I party with my friends, if I want to know what someone has been up to, i’ll ask them…in person. I generally don’t call my friends I just stop by. It dosn’t matter i could talk about what I believe in and why I don’t appreciate things like facebook for a long time.
Why do others like it? (specifically a college crowd)

b/c people are nosy and have to know absolutely everything about everyone they come in contact with.

I’ve recently joined facebook, but I share the same sentiments. This is the first time in history that people have been so connected, and I agree that there are downsides.
I recently got rid of instant messaging. I used that for hours a day for many years, but to no real benefit. I don’t have any good memories from it, and only really talk to people I talk to in real life anyway. Glad to have gotten rid of it.
Like you I don’t understand the appeal of facebook. I personally hate people knowing much about me. I don’t want acquaintances knowing my every move, seeing all my photos, tracking all my conversations… I’m finally appreciating email: asynchronous, private and practical.
As much as I don’t like the concept of facebook I can’t bring myself to delete my account. It seems that if I do I might miss out on something, but I am yet to see if that is true.
I joined the group hoping that there were others that train at the university gym. Any others in seattle?
Either way, most of the college crowd has facebook – even Eric Cressey has facebook! Maybe I just wanted one badass group to show up on my profile.
Don’t you guys think Cressey and Heath have facebook for business reasons?
I don’t have facebook…my wife signed me up…but she used my real name…I’m with everyone that said they don’t want others knowing what they’re up to.
Anyway…how do you use facebook vs. say texting or something else to get pussy? If everyone can see what you’re saying…how would you accomplish getting pussy unless she wanted it to be publicly known?
I’m not familiar with facebook that much, so if this is a dumbass question, feel free to let me know. All I can assume is there’s an IM feature to facebook that isn’t broadcast publicly…but then how would that work better than just IMing the girl?
Thanks.
Hey…I signed up…so any hot biotches make me your friend…I want to be popular.
Thanks.
Oh yeah, my name is Sen Say.
facebook is good for playing attack when bored at work
