    I like Facebook a lot more, but MFP and Facebook are for two different things. This site being for fitness and health, Facebook being just for fun, even though you can make fan pages and stuff for fitness and food. I don't get why this topic is such a huge deal. don't like Facebook? Great, don't make an account.

    HOWEVER.

    I find myself wanting to "Like" things all the time. The same goes for real life situations, I just want to "Like" things rather than comment on them.

    2) Gov't uses FB to surveillance your life.
    3) If you said something wrong or bad then your reputation will be destroyed instantly.
    4) FB endsored Obama and Gay marriage.

    I hate when things get ensored. Almost as much as intolerant people.

    I have both and use both, but I don't want to see your fitness goals and updates and every time you go to the gym on facebook...that's not what I use it for.

    Facebook is for stalking people I know in real life without violating my restraining order. MFP is for finding new people to stalk in case I have to move...again.

    I am sick of hearing about someone checking in at an ice cream palor or what they dont like about in life...FB is full of that. I like MFP way better as most here are very genuine about their health and fitness and it is refreshing!

    A lot of people seem to complain about annoying posts etc on Facebook. See, for me, I only have people on there that I want to have on there. I don't have people that annoy me, and I have deleted friends off of the site that bother me with their posts. I like them both, but I usually come to MFP more. I also find that I post more on MFP.

    I go on my facebook about once a month! And all I EVER see is mundane lame talk about doing to a movie or headed to dinner or political stuff...maybe I have the wrong friends on facebook...but it seems kinda blah! I do like seeing people pictures updated though....

    As for MFP....I'm on here EveryDay (and MISS it if I can't get on here) and Love reading the things people post about there True accomplishments or their frustrations or their needs for support or advice or recipes.....just a happy or sad moment to share and the SUPPORT that goes out to everyone in comments is what keeps my day much happier!!!

    MFP WAY RULES OVER FACEBOOK!!!! The only thing for me that facebook is a plus for is keeping connected with family that I don't get to see...but I've made much more valuable friends on MFP than I ever could on Facebook!

    i deleted my FB. replaced it with MFP. at least now i'm obsessed with fitness goals rather than who was out partying with who.

    THIS!!! FB free for 3 years now. Zero regrets

    It wasnt intended to be a comparison, i was just asking what people spend more time on. Making small talk. That is all.

    Absolutely more active here, and fb is my group of haters, and eyerollers. I just use it to keep up with family since im also not interested in talking to my bro on the phone. Except for every other week.

    I'm fed up with people "Likeing" *kitten* on fb. I scroll down the screen just to a bunch of dumb crap people "Liked" (need a "Like" blocker. I respect religion and beliefs but prayers and religous pics,comments,quotes get carried away. Time to fix preferences ;)

    Rock on FP people!

    MFP >>>>>>>> Facebook

    would much rather see updates of fitness related stuff all day than baby pictures
    I resisted FB until last year when I joined to take advantage of some discounts and online deals. Have a real account that I rarely use (keep track of family), and will create a separate 'stealth' account just for online deals. Hell, I use LinkedIn way more the FB. I only use Twitter mainly as a news aggregator.

    MFP is funnier and more positive, FB is full of moan, moan, moan status's, MFP's are usually upbeat. I prefer getting friend requests instead of all the stupid game requests on FB.

    I don't like FB for many reasons. 1) FB uses your info to sell to the company that markets stuff to you. 2) Gov't uses FB to surveillance your life. 3) If you said something wrong or bad then your reputation will be destroyed instantly. 4) FB endsored Obama and Gay marriage.

    Where were you in the lesbian cheating thread?

    Nope you must have wrong person.

    Great. Since you decided to throw your political and social views out there, and thus violate the forum guidelines, a perfectly harmless thread is going to get locked.


    Fabulous. Thanks for that.

    Nope. It is absolutely fact. FB shouldn't sponsored Obama or Gay marriage because those topics are political topics (you can see where they donated their business' money to on public). MFP seems is working together with FB. I don't know maybe I will have to quit MFP, if it decides to sponsor anti-gun, gay, and Obama. I have to take the stand for the America's true liberty.
