So, I was just sitting, listening to She & Him and I remembered about those days when I had a myspace, which wasn't too long ago, but it seems like a lot of time ago because I have lost touch with high school buddies and also with...some boys, and when I remembered those boys I couldn't help to blush and feel stupid. Really? Myspace flirting? At the time, it seemed like a "not so normal thing but hey everyone does it" sort of thing, but now that I look back and think about it, I can't help to say that there isn't something more stupid and childish than that.
I'm aware that the lives we live are mainly composed of gadgets with screens and keyboards in it, and technology forms about more than half of ours, which even studies show it does, and therefore meeting people online has become a more normal thing to do ever since that movie "you got mail" or whatever it was called came out in the early 2000s, but I can't also help to think that the idea of asking someone for their number, or hitting on them IN PERSON seems more appealing and daredevil than posting comments about how "KEWTT" or "KEWL" their outfit is, leaving them tweensy cute comments and hoping that someday you will be part of their "top friends" and that you never get off of it.
I think gay guys do this more than average straight gals or gents, maybe it's our hormones and they way we react to...well men. And this really ruins the future dating scene for you in the future, because it forms this network of guys you've talked to--hence why they call it social networking. So soon, you realize that they new guy you've been talking to, has or talks to the guy you used to talk to and now the ex-guy knows and this drama web just starts building, and I rather live a social live where I don't know who has talked to who and who has hooked up with what. Obviously, the myspace scene is not merely just for this, but I'm just talking about the whole myspace flirting and how it takes the fun out of meeting new people and what not.
