What do you guys think about this?

Last night my boyfriend made a twitter account. He has always stated that myspace, facebook and twitter was a bunch of nonsense where these companies just want your information and blah blah. I called him a hypocrite because if he joined twitter why not make a facebook? Especially since twitter practically is facebook; it's the updating status. I have a facebook that I use regularly, but practically never update hence why I don't have a twitter. I feel twitter is for compulsive narcissists. He tried to argue with me saying it wasn't the same thing. What do you guys think? Should he make a facebook?

im thinking that, instead of you having a boyfriend that wastes time monkeying around with computers, you should find yourself a real man...one that can make you feel and treat you like the woman that you are instead of treating you like one of his immature "buddies" he argues with about video games and silly computer toys.

...i think its a really silly thing to fuss about...

Compulsive narcissist is a good description. It's sad how the narcissism is a socially accepted behavior now that NOBODY seems to be embarrassed by. It's like there's this unspoken understanding of everyone's insecurities and need to say "look at me" and feel accepted. Twiiter is like Facebook Express.

Why argue over something like that? It would be easier to just let it go. Peace is better than starting a big argument over such a small matter

WTF???

Oh, I get it! You make joke! You pretend to be shallow and ignorant!

Yes, yesss! This is truly the way to deny ignorance!

yeah i almost forgot about this But I think yesterday I heard on the radio news report that Facebook is letting third party developers or thrid parties get members information such as cell phone numbers and adresses. They also said the idea was scrapped a couple months ago do to mass crticism from users. But now Facebook is apparently saying we don;t care.

Sorry to not give an answer about your predictament. I would just bias you anyways since I don;t use those things. Wait is ATS the facebook for conspiracy people?

I say your bf is a complete ass and you should ditch him

I say there are more important things to be concerned about.

I think you should tell us his username so people on ATS can spam him.

I don't have a twitter, facebook or any other account like that. Aren't they for people who are insecure and need to feel part of a "fad" or self important because of the rubbish they post?.

I don't have a facebook, myspace or twitter. I just never caught on to the social networking thing. If you love him though I wouldn't let something like that get in between your relationship. As long as he's still coming to bed with you then let him have his twitter. Did I say that right?

Twtts and FB and whatnot: social drama, nothing more. The fact that this question is even being discussed (not only) in your relationship (but also) on a forum is but another example... Lame.

You know we have all this fresh doom going on, like war, earthquakes, volcanoes, markets crashing, UFO's, Sun CME's, Elenin, Nibiru,etc.....And you're worried about Facebook & Twitter accounts?!?!??!?

(on a side note...do you look more like Ethel Merman or your avatar?)

Well I say they are both crap.

I like Facebook for the pics, and the ability to see what's going on in my friends and family members' lives. I don't comment all that much, so Twitter would seem useless.

Honestly if you think it's stupid for me to ask this question, then you're even stupider for taking the time to answer the question. So what if crap is going down in the world? You're on here talking about stupid stuff. The same thing you're accusing me of. Hypocritical. That's what the problem was with my boyfriend's twitter account. It may be stupid to you, but it struck a cord with me because he said he would never do it, and he did. Anyways, nothing is wrong with our relationship. It wasn't a fight. More like a debate. He is amazing. Yeah it's something minor, but still given everything, I wanted to know other peoples opinions. And Savannah you said that very right.

Oh, and to the 2 guys who drive the biggest baddest cars to make up for their dick size... Ex_CT2, I'm not shallow or ignorant. How the term shallow even comes into play here, I have no idea. God forbid I post a question on a website. And Signals, I don't look like an obese talented singer nor a blonde feisty cartoon. But hey, while we're on this path, do you look like a huge circular traffic signal, or more like an obese child eating in your avatar? Considering it's only ugly immature males with small penises that always have to say something physical to a female, when they have nothing intelligent to say when they can't think, because all their blood supply flowed to that tiny dick, I'll take the latter.

i think that if we were dating, my favorite thing to do would be to get you to be mad at me, then you would "punish" me by giving me a very hard spanking on my bottom.

i would make you very mad by ignoring you while i played on twitter, and you would gradually become angrier and more frustrated to the point that your face would turn red and you would say this in a really stern voice: "I have told you for the last time to put that toy away! Now you are on a punishment. I have had enough!! Now, turn around, bend over, and you're gonna get a bare-bottom spanking until your bottom is bright pink!!!

then you would spank me.

that's why i would create a twitter and a facebook account.

Wow I see I have struck a cord, definitely not intentional, "Ethel Merman" kinda threw me off.

I know this is BTS & all, but we're on a conspiracy site. Facebook and Twitter are creations of Big Brother to spy on us, wouldn't you agree?

Oh, and to answer the question, definitely like the fat kid about to chomp on watermelon!

PS...How do I know you're female?

edit on 3-3-2011 by Signals because: classified

Normally as a female I'd take offense but this time I'm totally with you.
