MFP and Facebook

Only one irl friend here, but I don't think she goes on the forums. What happens in chit-chat stays in chit-chat...3

Nah, I deleted Facebook. I eventually recreated it but only added my three best friends...just to make sure I wouldn't lose their contact.
I personally think MFP works way better specifically because you have no idea who any of these people actually are!
On Facebook, people wanted to portray a picturesque facade...perfect life, etc...you could never really vent, because well...those are your coworkers and like your mom.
I did try to recruit some IRL people to MFP because I thought they would like it and it would help them lose weight, but they quit. In retrospect...I'm glad.
I'm happier to say in my feed whatever I want without knowing the people. It's funny, though, because after some months you do sort of really know them anyway even though you're never going to meet them.1 -

No, my FB is all friends and family...a lot of us are scattered all over the U.S. and abroad and we use FB to share pictures and whatnot of our goings on in life, kids, etc...My FB is way more personal.0

I miss MySpace.
I miss being able to greet people to my page with a loud rap song with explicit lyrics.
I had a cool background pic for MySpace and a Playlist widget. Links to charities I support, etc.0 -

My big gripe with Facebook is how hateful people's comments get, whether it's politics or news about a band or whatever, people talk so much crap. But you're right, you get to know people on here and it would be cool to check out their pics and stuff like that.1 -
