Do you guys also know these facebook types?

Probably wants to make his high school "friends" think he is successful and happy.

My status updates look like this:

Day 1: " ''_ "
Day 434: "bleh"

I have a name for those kind of people: Attention-whores

Exactly, they're just showing off. The worst is the "I love you so much my beautiful baby" messages that couples send each other. It's even more pathetic when they live together. Stand up, walk over to your bf/gf and tell them in private!

I think it's showing off with a touch of insecurity. If a bf wants to tell me how he feels I'd rather he see or call me and let me know, not share our private relationship with others. Maybe it's just because I'm a private person but I don't want my relationship to be a public one. Same goes for couple photos- they're ours and so why should I upload for all to see?

And as for the name dropping... :rolleyes: It's so lame! Honestly, just get on with your life- why pause every so often just to tell everyone how 'cool' you are? Especially the messages that say "I am having the BEST night of my life!!!!". Really??? It's so fantastic that you snuck off into the loo just so you could grab your phone and broadcast that fact? :erm:

Trying to think up a term for it but I'm completely blank. How's about "f'ing annoying" for the mean time? :D
 
ya they piss me off hecticly hey !

"oh my baby i love you sooooo much"
"how did i found someone so perfect as my angel"
"how did i live before i knew you my baby girl"
etc etc

I have a few of these types on FB. And i must say they are generally the insecure types in the relationship, or the uglier one of the two. Sad thing is its mostly guys !!! haven't they heard of a man card !
But i love it if i give them uphill i always get chirped i don't know what love is and bla bla bla.. ya thats why me and my GF last 2.5 years and yours 3 months :P
Even better when you see " i love you soooo much babe" and they have been dating for like 3 weeks... those butterflies in your stomach aren't love douche bag.

the best though... my one mates status, "had such an awesome night with you baby, i love you so much, i know we are gonna be forever!"
2 days later ****** is not listed as single :) hahahahahaha so ya its insecurity

/rant over - glad im not the only one
 
@lush - you and me dude. i ticked every one in your list.
@porn$tar - "attention-whores" has a nice ring to it.

last but not least is the profile pic (slightly ot). have you ever noticed how guys will have a pic of themselves, but their gf will have a pic of them together in some happy embrace. why the need to show that they have a partner to the rest of the world? we know this already, that's why we're your fb friend. are they trying to mark their territory or prove their acceptability to the rest of the world?
odd.

here's a great post on the 12 most annoying personality types defined. lmao

ugh, "in relationship and it's complicated".

You're either in a relationship or you're not. WTF's complicated about it?

Then there's the mixit gibberish. Your parents spent a fortune sending you to school to learn English, the least you could do is ****ing apply it.

I've got a couple friends that are very active on facebook and are rashing me out. For example:

Day 1 status: "I love my wife she is the most amazing woman in the whole world. Each day we get closer and closer. What an adventure."
Day 2 status: "I've got the most amazing son I love him more and more each day"
Day 3 status: "Had such an encouraging meeting with (namedrop important person)"
Day 4 status: "We live in the most amazing country. There's nowhere on earth that's better"
Day 5 status: "Had coffee with (important person). Life changing experience"
Day 6 status: "(Banal quote from Khalil Gibran or some pop-psych author)"
Day 7 status: "(Songwords from some R&B love song about loving your partner till you die)"
Day 8 status: "Just closed a massive deal. Stoked."

Okay, I know the answer is selective culling. That's not the issue. Just wondering if you also want to tear the limbs off these people or if you think it's great that somebody can be so positive about every aspect of their life.

Anyway, I'm looking for a term to coin for this particular type of rash. Any ideas?

I get annoyed with married couples who see each other in the morning and leave those silly 'I love you baby' messages on facebook. People don't know the meaning of privacy any more.

It's definitely marking your territory hey... Like "Look I'm with him and I just want you all to know that he's mine! Just look how happy we are! See! Here's proof" :rolleyes:

One of my best mates does this... almost all her profile pics are of her wrapped around her bf, it's pathetic. As much as I like her, it is so annoying

Oh and the link is spot on... I think i have a friend for every category and then some. Guess I need to do some spring cleaning... By far the most annoying for me is the "The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore".
No, no I do not care that your car needed repairs. And you are obviously the biggest loser ever if you think I would care! :erm:

People with this relationship status are pretty much saying "I'm with her/him even though I'd rather not be involved anymore but I'm just appeasing said person. If you're single and interested, send me a pm... ;)"

Best of both worlds I guess. And I agree- you're either in or you're out, no inbetween about it

Geez, I have a problem with people who update their statuses 5/10/15 times a day!!:mad: I only update my status when I have something interesting to say. People don't care if I had a nice walk with the dogs or a great meal at Spur.

The worst is people who update their status while doing something else. <so and so> is watching the greatest movie on Earth. FFS man, if it's that great, why the hell are you Facebooking from your phone and not paying attention?!?!?!:eek::mad::mad:

A work collegue of mine updates his status on myspace 20 times a day. When someone sends him a spam message, he freaks out and thinks that he's actually liked.

Sad thing is he's almost 60 years old - I don't have the heart to tell him that no one actually cares.

The old fogies I can understand and forgive, it's the mixit brats and people my own age who've grown up with the Internet, that I have no patience for.
