Facebook is basically attention-whore central. Women use social networking sites just to get validation from strangers. Men are not as validation-driven as females so social networking sites don't appeal to them for that reason. Men only care about gaining sexual access to women via these sites. Women care about getting compliments and attention (validation). So men really have no reason to be on facebook if they aren't getting laid because of it: http://www.scribd.com/doc/21733512/Principles-101

Wrong. Men are there for the same reasons as women. To develop friendships. My husband has a FB site and he's not using it to meet women, he's using it to stay in touch with friends and family.

I think that too much is made of this issue and if someone is getting hung-up on it - get ready for the other shoe to drop!

Dude, I totally agree, Mikael! If your guy or girl is worried about what Facebook is revealing, there are clearly some bigger problems. People are way too obsessed with displaying status, both on Facebook & offf-llne.

What i've learned is that when it comes to facebook everything you put up matters to whatever woman you are with. I learned that if im dating someone or getting serious with someone and they get on my case about what my facebook says then good bye. Its that simple. Why should I be yelled at for something so juvenile as not changing my status to in a relationship. If you are one of my mates that i talk to frequently then you know im in a relationship and if im in a relationship with you then you know im in a relationship, thats all that should matter but no. You have these women who are so infantile that a networking system defines your relationship. Its as if you are not in a relationship unless facebook or myspace says you are.

FAIL!!!!
