While the perverts and desperate bastards of the past used to actually have to get off their duffs and be a little creative to stalk some busty broad, the creepers of today have the luxury of MySpace and Facebook. Nothing like a 40 year old man adding some pre-teen Asian chick just because one time she posted a video of her dancing to "kung fu fighting" in her bra. What started off as simple ways to keep track of old friend, it has quickly become a breeding ground for creeps.

Even so, with those outrageous cases of clear perversion and despritism, it is a great networking tool. While I can't say I go around adding every chick that half way wakes my winky, I can say that it's a good way to solidify friendships that probably would have been nothing more without it. I know I've met people on several occassions at parties or the bar and ended up adding them to Facebook the next day just to keep in touch with them. That's a true statement for me for both girls I'm interested in and people I'd like to be friends with.

So what do you think of these mediums? Breeding ground for stalkers, creeps, and weirdos... or is it a great way to keep in touch with friends and there are just a few people who have taken advantage of it?

PS - If you're reading this "Jewcon Cornelius", I did find Elyse on Facebook earlier. :wacky: Now if I can onlly find her cute friend too, I'll be in the money. haha
 
Yeah they are pretty useful for some people. I have them but I don't really use them a lot, other than to leave friends the odd comment on bebo. Although I did find my cousin in England who I hadn't seen since we were 6 through bebo, and a few of my relatives in England have added me on Facebook too.

As long as you're sensible enough to be able to recognise a weirdo when one adds you, then I think they're fine. I've had tonnes of 40 year old weirdos adding me on Myspace sending me messages like 'Let's get to know each other' and I immediately block them. Sure, it COULD be perfectly innocent and people just wanting to make friends, but I personally have no desire to make friends with middle aged men who could be paedophiles.
 
I continually get friend requests from people who live in different states and have no common friends. If their profiles are viewable I go look... and lo, they add everyone under the effing sun. I think the Friend-Count Fluffers are more annoying than the creepy old guys.

Speaking of, Busta is on my friends list, aztec, but I don't know what your last name is.
 
I haven't ever used Facebook before but I find that on another website 'Tagged' I used to get a lot of Muslim and Russian men messaging me every day saying things like 'You're so hot. Would you like to go on web cam?' I instantly blocked them all.

Myspace wasn't as bad but I did get a few randoms from around my area start to message me. After I had started talking with one particular guy he one day came into my work to meet me.

He was at least who he said he was and looked the same as he did online but after the reality set in I decided to never do it again. I realised that maybe next time it might be some old creep who may just come into work to watch me from behind the clothes racks.

*shudders*

Other than that I think it depends on who your friends are as to whether it helps keep in contact or not. Majority of my friends all went to uni and never used any of those sites and so therefore I never heard from them again. So it doesn't really help people keep in touch with friends if certain people aren't really into the internet.

I believe that the internet only becomes a breeding ground for creeps and the like if you allow them in. If you only speak with those whom you know and can trust and have actually met outside the website it should be a great way to keep in touch with loved ones and friends.

I get random adds on facebook sometimes... I just deny their friend requests. I use facebook strictly for RL friends since it has my full name on it. As for myspace... I add 'net friends as well as RL friends, but deny the randoms. I haven't gotten any "stalker" suggesting messages on either site, since my profile is private on both sites, and I rarely have pics of myself as defaults.

As long as you're wise, these sites aren't likely dangerous. Don't reveal personal info to people you don't know, don't talk/respond to random people, and that's that.
 
Wow.

I created a Facebook account.. But I haven't visited it since its creation till like yesterday, just to play a game called 'Pet Society'. Just quitted it though.

There were random adds too, from some people i totally do not recognize. Nonetheless, I don't really care about them. That considering I do not post any of my pictures online at all.
 
It's ok, although it can cause more trouble tjhan its worth,and my mate has a facebook stalkr whichmakes me laugh

I just use it to keep up with oldmates, I rarely add anyone I dont know that tries to add me, I wont everadd people that know people I know just to boost my friend list . If it ever got dodgy or someone started pecking my head, Id delete my account, I can live without it

I can see why thecreeps come out, lurking, behind thoer monitors :gasp:
 
Ya well i facebook stalk kelly all the time :wacky:
But seriously.. I have facebook, i've had a few people i don't know add me a couple of times. I did at one time have an application called Anti-Stalker which, when the person visited your profile, (say his name was steve) it would say "Steve is looking at your proflie" but really it was fake just to scare them away.. (owner didn't actually see who was on it..)
Now, i just made my security settings to only friends can view my profile. I did this after someone pranked called my cell phone asking me if i wanted there penis :gasp:
 
I usually get young Arabic/Turkish/Greek men adding me. I check their hotmail profile out beforehand, and I block immediately.

I think it all started because I wanted MSN friends on an FB group. I remember putting something very simply, nothing sexually orientated, and apparently it seems that I'm out for sex. >_>

EDIT: LMAO, they actually asked you that? :wacky:
 
I never usually get a certain race group or anything.. probably cause i'm a guy. I mean, when a girl adds me that i don't know that has a really hot picture i'll add her :monster: but no doubt its actually a 50 year old horny man that likes little boys..

Ya they actually asked me that there like "hey.. wanna suck on my penis?" i was like "who is this?" then they asked me again and i was like fuck off and hung up. Was very awkward. :wacky:
 
It was me :wacky: j/k :P

I've had my share of online stalkers, on the whole they aren't much of a threat. I rarely check myspace and stuff anyway
 
I've had way too many on mine. I love reading them, but I would never accept any of their requests to be my friends. I'm very picky who I become friends with, especially if you read my profile or my blogs, you get the idea that I won't even bother with you if I think that there is a chance you're going to hit on me, or get anything from me.

We at least have to have something in common if I don't know them in order to add them, or accept their add requests.
 
I hate stalkers and i hate the fact that facebook now has an honesty box. People are ignorant and that is just a way for them to right whatever they want without punishment. I do admit that when i see a chick im interested in or that looks cute or whatever i do check out the picture and to see if she is single but that's about it. I might drop a few lines and say something i see you go to Mizzou too or start up a convo but thats just a way to meet new people. Im not trying to fall in love just make new friends and facebook does help but there is a way to go about it so you dont come off as a creep and sadly most people dont know how.
 
I have Facebook and have noticed the mass amonts of pointless random add requests from people I don't know. Very rarely got stalkers though, probably because im a man, but I have had a couple over the years of being on it or Myspace. They don't last long once they realize I can match the pervyness plus then some however.


I did find Elyse on Facebook earlier. :wacky: Now if I can onlly find her cute friend too, I'll be in the money. haha
Fancy sharing the wealth abit Azzy? :wacky:
 
I actually don't get alot of random adds on facebook. Actually, I only remember two. And one of them (Sandra Brown, lol) actually added a bunch of my friends. It sort of became a running joke, actually. Weird.

Anyways, facebook does keep me in contact with people I barely see anymore. It's actually quite nice, because from time to time when I do see them again, we sort of already know what eachother's up to, due to FB statuses and all. Some of them I probably wouldn't even talk to as much if it weren't for facebook.

Even still... I probably don't contact close to 80% of my list. Most of those being people from my High School who added me, but I never really spoke to in the first place.
 
I get don't get that many random adds either, I get the odd one or two but that's because they're those weird people who have like 2000+ friends...I know and talk to pretty much everyone on my friend list in real life. :gmonster:
I once had that time my profile views shot up by 139 in a few hours so I supposed that could class as stalking. Although, I don't use facebook because it's shit.
 
I only ever add people that I know in real life. Other than that I'm not really interested. I only have my facebook account so that I can keep in touch with friends or find people that I haven't talked to for a while.

I have had a few adds from random guys, with no mutual friends or anything so I dont bother adding them to my friends list. I just wonder why they are adding me and how they even found my page. I think most of the time they just want a huge load of friends so that they can boast how popular they are, despite the fact they dont know half of the people.

But the internet is a very easy way for people to be stalked, harrassed or bullied. Some of the things I have heard happen over those social, network sites is just plain mean and scary.
