Social Networking Sites That Suck!
People join social networking programs for many different reasons, ranging from looking for business contacts, specific topic information, to meeting new people and keeping in touch with existing friends. Did you happen to notice that I did not include sexual interludes, or pornography?
Dating sites were created for the purpose of people 'hooking up.' I know I've said this before, but it needs repeating: Couples go on dates, NOT networks. If one wants to have some sort of personal (sexual) encounter, social networking sites are not the place to be; at least they shouldn't be. I am a big-time social networker. I belong to a huge list of groups. I even coordinate a domestic violence support group on Women For A Change. I post blogs and photos, videos and things, but I do not violate the sites TERMS OF SERVICE. I have no desire to.
Now, I like to think of myself as an open minded individual; however, I must draw a line. When I create profiles on social networks I always state my age and that I am happily married. I let people know that I have two children and that I am looking for business contacts and FRIENDS. I have quit social networks because I have been offended to that point.
What do I find offensive? The fact that I get friend requests from people who obviously did not read my profile page. They looked at my photo and asked me to be their friend. Then they start sending me sexual gifts like orgasms, and french kisses, etc.. And I must not forget all of the internal email messages requesting my private email for the exchange of pictures. Yeah Right!
When I visit their profile to find out who they are, I see nude photos and sexual acts on the page.
(I've read the terms of service to the sites I am a member of. Not a single one permits the posting of nudity, or sexual content. )
Why on Earth would any of these people want to be my friend? Because of a photograph? In my humble opinion, that's pretty friggin' shallow.
Here is a list of so-called social networking sites that I have quit, or soon will be:
I'd rather be advertised to by marketing newbies, all day long, than to open and delete all of the trashy messages I get. It's like every creepazoid in the universe comes out to play. Find a dating site already! Leave us networkers alone!
I don't take the time to fill out my profile page for it to be ignored. Furthermore, I don't have the time to waste deleting all of this crap.
Am I alone in this?
Don't get me wrong... I enjoying sharing web pages with others, videos, music, jokes and the like. That is networking; sharing ideas, building relationships with people, establishing contacts.
My profiles say that I am married! I am not looking for cheap thrills, so don't send me any. If you can't take the time to read my profile, then don't take the time to invite me to be your friend.

Tagged is bad, MyYearbook is the worst in my opinion, Facebook not so bad, MySpace also awful.
I don't even bother with some sites because you won't find many genuine people. The nudes are not real people. They are fake accounts designed to attract people so they can lure them into receiving emails and maybe to join scams etc.
Stick to the real networks.
