<p>I know there are a lot of people that has done this before! But what are your stories and experiences LOL</p>
<p>Personally I think Facebook pimpin is quite possibly the weakest way for a guy to approach a girl... ever. Maybe it is an acceptable ice breaker, but I cannot stand when guys poke girls or send them messages, like, "ur sooo fine, what u doin' 2night?". Further, nothing makes me say, "oh god", more than a flirty wall post like, "I saw u 2day! we need 2 chill!" </p>
<p>Fellas, just say it in person. Please. </p>
<p>Rant aside, I do have a funny story involving facebook and hookups: </p>
<p>When I first moved in freshman year, the inevitable, "so what hot girls are you scoping out on facebook" convo came up. All of the guys on my floor and I unanimously agreed that one girl, who I will simply call, "LC", was a stunning broad, and certainly caught our attention. Now realize when I was a freshman, the only picture you could see was the one put up for someone's profile. There was no tagging at that time. Anyway, one night I'm out with this girl I met and she says, "Hey we are gonna go meet up with my friend, she's at McDonald's." As I walk in I catch sight of this one girl and am looking at her thinking, "How do I know this girl...she looks so familiar?" Then the girl I'm dating introduced me to her. I was shocked, it was "LC". What was wrong you ask? Well, LC was roughly 100 lbs heavier than she was in her profile picture. After I became friends with her, I found out that the picture that we had all seen was from the previous summer, before she had ate/drank herself to death. Needless to say, this particular girl has been a running joke with my friends and I for the past two years. In fact, one kid photoshopped another making out with her...and tagged her in the picture. Easily one of the funniest moments in the first few months of college.</p>
<p>If your so lame that you have to have to try to hook-up with someone on the internet, you got more problems than facebook is going to solve. Maybe I am just saying that because my charm and good looks can get me places, but really that is sad.</p>
<p>Dude above, your story was so lame. It is guys like you that give all men a bad name, because your wasting your time joking on someone for the inperfections. I am sure your not anywhere near quality either and your date was probably a pig too.</p>
<p>Sorry Streetsmart, didn't mean to post bulletin board material for your next Women's Alliance meeting. "It is guys like you who give all men a bad name"...Why's that? My friends and I talked about girls we saw on facebook who were good looking. One of the those girls, who we all agreed was extremely good looking, was...before she gained a ton of weight. In all seriousness, and if you read the post moron, I am friends with this girl who had a deceiving picture on facebook (see: "After I became friends with her.."). Moreover, who are you to say I give guys a bad name when you come off with this line: "my charm and good looks can get me laid..". Maybe you, my friend are the one who gives guys a bad name. Someone who schmoozes up a girl, gets her hopes up, rails her, then kicks her to the side. Sorry pal, I think you're the pig.</p>
<p>Hasn't worked for me yet.</p>
<p>Dilo, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was trying to say is that you shouldn't make fun of the chick for her weight problem, because I am sure your not a prize yourself, or at least a few of your friends are not the leanest they could be. Oh and by the way, I know I am a**hole, but I am not going to joke on a chick's weight gain for my own amusement. Sex is sex, I am just having a good time, but I never lie to any chicks to get them in bed. I tell them up front all my intentions and let them make the decision.</p>
<p>and thats why hes streetsmart nyc</p>
<p>Streetsmart, I hope to god you are as your name indicates, because judging by your grammar, sentence structure, and use of your/you're, you sure as hell aren't book smart.</p>
<p>And in other news levels of surprise at the college the girl who posed this questions attends are at an all time low.</p>
<p>I was expecting a thread on cybersex.</p>
<p>I'm still not sure if I am on one.</p>
<p>As ridiculous as it sounds (and no, I'm not kidding), I met my ex-gf because of this site--Collegeconfidential, not Facebook.</p>
<p>I'm also probably going out with this girl I met thru Facebook.</p>
<p>Save the 'you're so lame for meeting someone online crap'--I dont care what you think.</p>

<p>Before I start bashing you (just kidding :P), did you actually go out with this person, or was it all just online? </p>
<p>Meeting someone through CC is pretty odd though. At least 10x more odd than a social networking website that was actually meant for people meeting other people.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. We went out for 2 1/2-3 months.</p>

<p>"probably" ??</p>
<p>..sketchyy</p>
<p>Yeah. We've been talking for a while. She's going to school with me. I think she's going to break up with her boyfriend before we leave.</p>
<p>Facebook is good for keeping in touch casually with someone you've already met in person and are interested in. That's how I ended up with my current gf... when we met, I was with someone else, but once the ex and I broke up I used facebook to ascertain that the other girl was single, started flirting casually via text and AIM, and then used a facebook message to invite her to a concert--and now a few months later we're in love :) We still probably would've ended up together without facebook since we both had access to other contact info, but facebook definitely made it easier.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I don't really know anyone who had much luck with contacting someone for the first time via facebook.</p>

<p>Good luck :) Come to think of it, I do know some people who've gone on dates with people they met for the first time on facebook. One of my friends pursued someone very avidly that way last summer, and they ended up hanging out a lot in the fall... in the end, the pursued didn't think there was any chemistry with the pursuer, but I did end up good friends with my friend's prospective hookup, so I guess someone got something out of it!</p>
<p>I do think it's far less sketchy than most ways of meeting people on the internet, since people usually use their full names, and it's likely that if you go to the same school you'll at least have some acquaintances in common.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's definitely not the sketchiest way possible. It also helps in terms of getting to know them--likes, dislikes, music, movies, etc. It was much more awkward with my ex. so ummmm do you like _______. Yeah.</p>
<p>There's definitely a lot of information available on facebook... but sometimes that makes things harder! Really cuts down the available opening chit-chat gambits. Though I guess that could also just speed things up in terms of determining compatibility...</p>
