I've grown to love MySpace.com for many reasons, for starters the exposure you get being an independent entreprenuer. I hated MySpace back in the days simply because all I saw was a bunch of Goth/Emo guys, gals and ghouls with overdone websites that take a year to load. Now, I don't remember who it was but somebody showed me the music, film and comedian portion of the community and I was quite impressed. Even though there's a large amount of great artist on MySpace, the asshole demographic is still high on MySpace. I just wanted to go through all the things that bother me or better yet piss me off about MySpace and share them with you guys.
1. "THANKS FOR THE ADD or Thanks for the request"
Accepting friend requests is something people really take seriously. If somebody accepts your friend request, they need to make it clear that YOU sent a friend request. People just love saying that their 3000 plus friends are all based on friend requests they've received. Who gives a shit? If I get a friend request, I just post a nice comment and that's about it. What's wrong with searching for new friends? I do it all the time. I remember talking to girl (which turned out to be a real bitch), and she would giggle about how she would make it clear that certain users sent her a friend request, according to her this made her look cool. She's a poser.
2. "Enormous THANKS FOR THE ADD Images"
Something I really hate is when people post these enormous "thanks for the add" images on your comment section, ruining the layout you worked hard on in the process. Can't people just write something nice or post a smaller image? Most of these images consist of Care Bears, images of themselves in black and white and high contrast.
3. "Friend Number Racers"
When I first opened an account on MySpace (back in '07), I was looking forward to meeting new people, searching and accepting new friends. I never accepted an agreement that said I would be participating in races where the user with the most friends wins. I've seen people with more than 10,000 friends and ask me if they speak with any of these people? It's just about having more friends on your profile, what's the point in that. Now I'll make this clear from the start, I try getting as much people on my Sound of Creation account for exposure purposes only. The more people you got on your friends list, the more people get to know your project. This isn't necessary if you got a personal profile though.
4. "Stupid Bulletin Messages"
There's this smoking hot girl on my friend's list and no I won't tell you what her name is. I noticed she spent most of her lifetime sending bulletins like the following:
1) If you were in front of me, what would you do?
2) Have I been your friend for a long time, if not…what would you like to do with me?
3) From 1 to 10, how much would rate me in hotness
4) Have you kissed me before??
5) Do you find me interesting and fun?
This young woman clearly loves herself and just wants our attention, which she's getting because she's smoking hot. If you look at her profile, she's got some very sexy pictures of herself, very provocative and most of them have fifty plus comments of men practically yanking their lizards while writing. Well I'm going to answer your little questionnaire now, my smoking hot friend:
1) I'd fuck you.
2) No, I'd fuck you.
3) 15
4) No
5) No I find you stupid.
5. "Photoshop Girls"
There's nothing wrong with a little Photoshop editing here and there but some girls really do movie magic on their fucking pictures. I've seen some of the hottest looking women ever on here but when you see any of these girls in person, their nothing close to the girl I saw on their profile. It's not just editing though, some women have the "angle technique" mastered. All you need to do is take pictures from your neck up and avoid taking pictures of your large body (nothing against large people). You can also take pictures of yourself looking towards the sky but make sure you crop out your arm, that's the only proof that you're a fatty. There's nothing wrong with being fat or skinny, I just think you shouldn't feel ashamed of your body. I've gone out with extremely skinny and chubby women and both tend to be nice or complete bitches.
6. "Overdone Profiles"
Have you ever been to a profile where they got images all over the fucking place, they got four YouTube videos playing at the same time while some stupid GIF runs from one side of the screen to another? I have. It's annoying. Can't these idiots understand that their profiles take a lifetime to load? Profiles with like three or four songs playing at the same time all over the place piss me off too, i mean what is with that?…so just give us the option to play the songs if somebody likes all that NOISE going on at once.
There's nothing wrong with being a media whore but things get seriously lame when you turn into a MySpace whore. That's another story. In a minute...
