overweight single moms who think they are gods gift to men.

after reading the 40 year divorcee thread, i now know where they get this attitude, from all the attention they get from desperate men.

a snippet from yesterdays feed:

skinny is OUT, healthy is in!! And someone how actually says "your ugly" is really just reflecting how they see themselves, so don't you pay no mind to that nonsense. Chin up momma, self love is key the rest will fall into place!!!

here it's mostly fueled by the over-abundance of males in the lower class mindset, who strongly value quantity over quality and artificially inflate the value of these women in the sexual market

I'm not on there much, but I see these pop up when I'm on FB. Most of the time it seems to be the ones that are politically/socially outspoken and just can't take people with opposing/critical viewpoints.

I had an actually really good friend who made one of those posts sort of like that after breaking up with a girl. Something about being taken advantage of sort of thing and the world walking all over him pity party.

I commented to the effect of saying that the world doesn't happen to you, you put yourself in the situations you find yourself, and you need to take control of your life. His mom (no pics) liked my comment, and he quickly deleted his post. I thought it was kind of funny.

Anyway, dude was pretty pissed at me about it. I was genuinely trying to give him constructive advice, but I guess he didn't take it to heart.

Oh well. Dear facebook...

My favorites are the women who take outdoorsy pics that don’t highlight their outdoor activity, but instead, their arse or their tits



It’s just so blatantly obvious that they just want attention

One of the reasons I deleted my facebook account was because I had multiple female friends/relatives making posts just like this almost daily

I love the strategic photos to brandish worldly goods.

Or, the attention-seeking female pic that all but guarantees the arse-kissing comments "oh! you are as beautiful as ever!.....so lovely!!!!......just gorgeous!!!!"

Or, the persistent check-ins where we are all sure to know you'll be starting your own FoodTV / Travel Channel show soon......sooooo cultured!!!

Or, the angry politico whos life purpose is to indoctrinate all of us into their way of thinking.......SCARY!

Or, the 1,000,000th picture of any of their insidious looking offspring.......NO! Not all babies are cute! FACT!

I hate that shite.

Not sure if it's worse, but something like this always makes me laugh:



Give me this meme and 2 or 3 others and I'll have your personal situation pegged down pretty well.

i was a very early adopter to social media

after it's flowed to the masses i realize that some things are just too much for most people

the extreme narcissism social media breeds is literally sad

what's even worse is how it's shifting behavior. that narcissism is expected now. i'll give a personal example. my dad is dying. cancer. came on quick and going to kill him quick. i haven't posted about it on FB. information has flowed and gotten back to me, and people i know are insulted that i haven't posted about it on FB yet

*ETA: a less dramatic example is the old "creepy" accusation that was popular in the mid-late 00s
