I hate myspace

note to self: replace picture 'cause the one that's on this site right now blows goats

you know, i'm NOT a fan of MySpace, mostly because it's just one big stupid meat market and an opportunity for skanks to show naked photos of themselves and for guys who are too much of a loser to meet regular girls to be flirtatious online.
And an excuse for BAD BAD UI....c'mon people, dark font on a dark background is NOT something people want to see. Nor do i want to read white text when you've got photos as your backdrop. And i really do hate cursors that are all sparkly and have crazy stuff that follow my mouse movements.

AND i think it's an excuse for people to be selfish...like, do you really think i give a f*ck about you to read all your interests and sh*t?! If you're my real friend, i know your interests and crap anyway. And if you're not, please...i know you're not reading my list of favorite movies and i'm definitely not reading yours.

However on that note, i do get the odd "hey baby get naked with me" messages, not that often since i've only got like 11 friends (and yes, i do know them all) so you'd have to be a perverted friend of someone i know or you'd have to actually search for me...

And i get those messages from both men and women, which i find hilarious since um yeah it's not like in "real" life a chick has ever hit on me. Whatever.

But...i did get this message today:
my name is John..and i saw you pics..and u are amazingly beautiful. And i would love to become or try to become a myspace friend. Well, i am a crazy, fun...never bored, spontaneous...very creative and athletic individual. I love rugby..as you will tell by my profile. Sorry..i am addicted, for some weird reason. I love music and love to dance and make people laugh. If you think you would like to give me a try (at friendship), al you have to do is just reply. And dont worry..i dont bite on the first email. But, watch out on your 2nd or 3rd one. I cant promise nothing.

Which of course is probably some cut/paste thing that this dude does to anyone who's in their 20s with boobs...but that being said, if i were a chick who didn't realize that guys do that kind of thing (if you're on match.com ladies, ALL your messages are copied/pasted unless they really do comment on everything in your posting...I would actually "accept" this guy as a friend. Very, very well written, not skanky, not "hey i'm looking for an easy lay"...

Which most guys don't realize...that IS the secret to getting laid. Pretend to be the charming nice guy who doesn't want sex and just wants your friendship, and watch how fast she undresses.

I practically feel like writing this guy and giving him kudos for a well-written introduction, and i sure hope he DOES get some play....

And on a final note: the other reason this guy is good is because he doesnt' have "118 friends in _'s network"....he has like 27, which is decent (becuase it means he's not hitting up every naked girl picture and asking to be added as their friend).

Conclusion: Out of a thousand guys on myspace...this guy GETS it.
