[QUOTE="Yeti:1315241"][QUOTE="not%20slag:1315216"]Here is what I think- and in before HYPOCRITE, i've been just as guilty of this in the past. Lately, I prefer face to face or telephone conversations for anything that requires discussion. Men shouldn't be text messaging much - conversations and the like have no place via the blank and emotionless realm of text. For confirming and/or making plans or following up on something, surely text is fine. I, personally, love to hear peoples voices. I like to hear the tone in ones voice, the emotion, real laughter. I don't understand why people are afraid to real talk. In a way, social media, text messaging etc. is turning us into less social creatures and less manly men. It disconnects us from actual human interaction. It feeds us the chemical rewards from the social "validation" (likes, messages, friend requests, pokes or whatever the fuck it is now) without the actual human interaction. You cannot form a strong bond with any human through a computer screen or a phone keyboard. Share a beer with me, talk to me over a fresh hunt, look me in the fucking eyes and talk to me. Don't send me facebook message if you want to talk about something. This also leads people to not having any idea how to talk to strangers anymore. A man cannot approach a woman he does not know without fear of rejection. Awkward silences are now worse than nuclear war. [/QUOTE] you basically answered your own question about why people are afraid of real talk. they are afraid because they are afraid of people finding out they aren't who they say they are. you can be anyone you want behind FB, and those guilty of it know exactly who they really are inside. they believe that if enough people "like" something then they are "likeable". how many times have you been in a situation where it was a group of people, most of which just sit on their phones and don't interact with anyone, but will then go and post on FB about how much fun they had? or a couple who feel the need to broadcast what they are doing at obnoxious volumes because they think everyone cares, simply because their FB posts get "likes"? the lack of social interaction means demons are not being faced. combine that with the demise of punching-someone-in-the-face-for-being-a-douche and you have a volatile mix of fragile egos and inflated senses of self-worth. granted RTTP is a form of social networking, but comparing a message forum about dicks and abortions to the exposé of ones entire life solely to feed the ego is not a valid argument. FB is making me hate social gatherings because it makes otherwise mundane and boring people feel like they are awesome for no reason. just because you were born does not mean you are anything.
