People I May Know…on Facebook

I was wasting time on Facebook, and there was this list of ‘people I might know’. Hmmm?

So I began to scroll through it. It looked like either the poster from a strip club or women for rent lease or hire.

I really had to jump out of it, because up to now, I can not understand why any one would post these pictures of themselves on line.

These women look like well… they probably are what they look like. And they will be treated as what they look like.

After all the years of women wanting to be taken seriously, after all the struggles for equal rights, to not be treated as an object; these women whom I do not know, and don’t want to know, post these images on Facebook, for what purpose?

Are they Catfish?   You know, Catfish?  Those are people looking to scam others by pretending to be sexy chicks?   Okay.  That makes a little sense.

Some old and ugly 45 year old guy posts the image and will play cutesy with whomever is stupid enough to ‘friend’ his photo.   But are there men that stupid as to send money to a female they don’t see?  What?

Are people that stupid?

Are these the usual kind looking for an all expense paid vacation in someone else’s house? But I don’t know them.  I don’t want to know them.  And they don’t know me.

As you may note, I don’t post a photo here or anywhere.  I don’t talk about my personal appearance, not even gender.  Why?  Because it is irrelevant.

Facebook is a kind of joke for me.   I only joined to play Scrabble.   Friend of mine invited me, I opened an account and have been playing with all sorts of people besides my original opponent for the past few years.

I don’t post personal stuff, just network an item I wrote, or comment (rarely) on something someone I know wrote… and when I say someone I know, I mean I have been to their weddings, I have shared coffee with them, I know them.

If I don’t know you in real life, I don’t know you on Facebook.

So why do those in charge give me a list of ‘people I might know?’ made up of these trashy people?

Despite all the warnings about what happens when you are too open on Facebook, these people have no sense at all whatsoever.

They spill their guts, they make themselves targets, they offer themselves for sale.

This world is getting very creepy.
