What's Your Impression of people who are facebookless?

<p>one of the hottest girls ive ever met never had a facebook account. ;)</p>

<p>The FBers vs Non-FBers war continues!</p>

<p>jkjk. 5 pages in one day. Who knew this question would incite so many emotions!</p>

<p>I like this commercial:

<p>honestly facebook is almost useless to me other then the events part of it. i dont bother posting things because i feel like 1 its not anyones bizz and 2 later on down the road im not even going to care about whatever it was i posted when i read it again. 3 nobody cares what i post anyways if i post something. i feel like the majority of kids that use facebook are so self absorbed that they only use it as some form of vanity, like to flatter themselves when they get on. or to flaunt themselves in some form. for example i posted a youtube video that not one person watched or even liked. this is probably because the news feed updates so much that your post gets buried before anyone can really check it out. facebook happens to fast so unless your 24/7 probing it to find the newest thing then your going to miss what 300 posts a day?</p>

<p>That you know for sure they don’t waste hours on a, for the most part, very time consuming and energy draining site. I’ve been facebook less for a while now and it’s been one of the better decisions I’ve made.</p>

<p>From my experience, if a person has “no” Facebook (rather than just having one but not really ever updating their status or using it much), they are usually:</p>

<ol>
<li>A person with few friends and who is not interested in having many friends. </li>
<li>A person who is proud not to have a Facebook and is still very socially active and open, but has difficulty keeping in touch with people who aren’t in their immediate physical vicinity (works ok in high schools and small colleges and such).</li>
<li>People with small groups of friends - they are still socially active within their circle, but not really the kind of people who are the ‘most social’ of people in terms of meeting new people and friendliness. </li>
</ol>

<p>It’s usually #1. I remember seeing a statistic that somewhere around 95% of college students use Facebook, and so that 5% minority is really really small and likely not to be the most socially active of college students. #2 is rare but still exists, although nowadays very very few. </p>

<p>To be honest, having a Facebook but only using it as a more efficient and streamlined version of ‘email + chat + information about events + staying in touch’ is the best option in my personal opinion.</p>

<p>Three options:</p>

<ol>
<li>They’re weird.</li>
<li>They need to loosen up, have a Facebook, along with some self-control, and should still be able to get there homework done or whatever they may worry about not having enough time for.</li>
<li>They’re trying too hard to be different.</li>
</ol>

<p>Just opinions though, they might not be correct, and probably aren’t.</p>

<p>

Not doing something = trying too hard?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Um, yes. </p>

<p>“Non conformists” takes effort and conscious decision.</p>

<p>I don’t see a place in the list for people with active social lives who just don’t happen to like the website. Or should everyone like a product because you do?</p>

<p>Just never been into social networking sites.</p>

<p>I deleted mine because I didn’t have the heart to update it and my parents don’t like it. But I plan on re-activating it once I go to college…? I deleted it because I started disliking people I otherwise would’ve liked because some of the really ridiculous things classmates would post and I thought it was just make me really bitter towards my school and the people in it.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’ve been in two relationships with girls who don’t have facebooks. Both were really cute by any standard.</p>

<p>As expected, ad hominems in the face of truth…/cyastupidthread.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thats to risky for even me bro!</p>

<p>Real classy playas use texting.</p>

<p>Like not having a facebook isn’t a bad thing. Personally though I use mine a lot to keep in contact with people that i’m not really say best friends with but who i’m willing to hang with whenever. I don’t have every single persons phone number and I don’t send people emails. Facebook’s just convenient.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>lol, weird. The go-to diagnosis for people who’re different from you in any way.</p>

<p>Lots of people seem to think that not being on FB is some sort of premeditated stunt/desperate cry for attention; in reality, FB is just a website, not a way of life, and living without it is quite easy–effortless even–so it is perfectly possible to forgo using it for no reason other than “I can’t be bothered”.</p>

<p>To answer the original question, I don’t have a general impression of people who are not on Facebook. They happen to lack a Facebook account, big deal. Facebook is not a character trait.</p>

<p>

Haha, ditto on number three.
In my school, two types:

  1. REAL Gangstas (really sell drugs, hustle hard): Don’t have facebook.
  2. REAL Weirdos (just really weird socially. Not nerds, geeks, just really weird people who don’t really wanna talk with anyone else.)
    Even if they do, they post romantic poetry on their notes. Also, they tend not to have a profile picture for at least a year.</p>

<p>I don’t really think one way or another of it, honestly. Occasionally it’s inconvenient, but that’s all. Some people in here need perspective.</p>
