Facebook erodes self-esteem

Post by Moosader »

Okay, maybe not for those of you with 600 friends, lol.
I have this "compare" app on my facebook, and get this... I haven't won ONE vote for "best profile picture".

Image

HOW CAN I NOT HAVE BEST PROFILE PICTAUR?!?!?!?! I HAS A SNORLAX HAT!!
Before this, my picture was me with my HEADCRAB PLUSHIE on my head!
Before that, it was me with a roll of toilet paper on my head!
My profile pictures rock! D:

Oh, and apparently out of 10 votes total, 1 person has voted that they'd date me, and 9 have voted no.
I can understand being indifferent, but NO?! o_O Like absolutely not?!
I guess I do have a lot of Christian friends, and they'd probably date their own sex before they'd date an Atheist. <_>

I hate it when I'm comparing, and it asks "Who smells better?", and it gives me a choice of two online friends.
Heck I'm never close enough to anyone to smell them, aside from my sister and my ex.

Over all, I've won all of two votes for "most organized", because everyone knows I'm a good student. >.>;
Lost two votes for "prettier", some how WON one of two vote for "more fashionable" (stumps me), also won one of one vote of "better public speaker" (again, no idea. Must have been against a really shy kid). Nobody wants to take me shopping (don't blame them, I only shop for video games), lost both for "has a better body", lost 1/1 of "would rather sleep with".
...
Lost 1/1 of "more famous". Seriously? I should brag about my youtube subscribers more. XP
And I guess being well-known by teachers doesn't count at all.

I feel the same way about me with a fake mustache, although people do not enjoy this pic for some reason. I think it's awesome and it makes me look like my name is Giuseppe!

Also, did you make that snorlax hat? I'm assuming that you did. :lol:

Facebook doesn't interest me much, I've had one but it hasn't been updated, fully filled out, and I haven't visited it in a couple of months. Who needs popularity votes, you're a programmer! XDDD They should just be glad they can see you from all the mountain dew bottles strewn around the place!

You realize what's going to happen next, right Lusikka? Gyrovorbis is going to get everybody on the team to visit your profile and vote you best for everything. Don't be surprised if you social status on Facebook spikes unexpectedly within the next few days... err minutes. *runs off to Facebook to vote for Lusikka*

Btw, your hat is Awesome but you look rather depressed. Shouldn't you be a bit more happy to be wearing the greatest hat ever made?

Yeppin, I make awesome hats. I'm learning to, anyway.

It really seems like nobody checks my facebook, or else doesn't care about my games. x_x; Stupid NORMAL PEOPLE >:O
Btw, that expression is awesome Andy. I've seen your av on Tigsource but I didn't know it was possible to look that way. XD

I think you've made it pretty clear that you'd... hit me... XD Stop fantasizing about me in a Pikachu costume! D: :D

Next time we visit family in Alabama I'll try to get my parents to make a detour, but only for a friendly visit! ;D
There is a waiting period on getting into bed with me, which I atm is that you have to be my boyfriend for a month. >P
(Hey, I made my ex wait six, because it was my/our virginity we were talking about!)

I generally don't go for guys who find chicks to sleep with off myspace, either. ;P
I try my best to avoid the bad potatoes. Sometimes bad ones are disguised as good ones, though.
You're pretty obviously a bad potato. ;D

You have me all wrong. You're looking at it from the wrong perspective.

I'm not at all a bad potato. I'm a perfectly ripe grapefruit.

Lol. You still may be a bit "over-experienced" for me, though. ;P

Did you just use a double entendre? If you did that went over my head. :shock2:

Actually, I'm not so sure anymore. You were the one telling me about how it's done in the shower earlier, Rachel.

...Oh no, I've said too much. ;)

Falco, and Lussika, you guys are total flirts... I say just DO IT already :mrgreen:

By "do it," I mean code together of course! :lol:
I'm pretty sure it would be close if not better than sex!

I've only had one partner. By over-experienced I meant you're a man-whore. :D
