Stop clicking “like” on my photos. Stop making me your “favorite.” I don’t want to be notified that you’re “interested in me.” Stop being so chicken shit and send me a message if you’re interested. I got no time for pussy guys with no confidence. —Closing my account

They’re only trying to make you feel good about yourself, so get over it.
MEANINGLESS FLUFF
“Stop being so chicken shit and send me a message if you’re interested.” Closing my account
You must remember that people who click “like” or even “dislike” on sites such as this lack the ability to articulate their “thoughts” to the extent, that is, that they have them. Look upon them both as little more than meaningless fluff. It is not so much that they are chicken shit but rather that sending you a message is beyond their capability. You have made a wise decision in closing your account.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Pussy? Are you referring to genitals or pus? Both are available at online dating sites.
I’ll stick to hetero dating because that is the OB’s concern. The problem with online dating is that it eliminates the natural process of connecting. Normally, when a male and female meet their eye contact (or lack of) will tell the guy whether she is at all interested and whether he should take a chance on asking her out. In online dating, without some kind of signal to take the place of eye contact, like a return “like”, it’s unlikely that a guy will put himself out there by sending a message. Guys have feelings to and we want to minimize our chance of rejection. So, OB, you need to give a little bit.
Yaaa…..so if they’re really interested they will message you. Most would, anyways. I do. I’m with Jesus in this one.
The Flyspeck doesn’t know what he’s talking about so get over it.
The harbinger of poutine is attempting to swing his superiority complex again…
*shock and awe*
They could just “Like” your pictures and nothing else.
Close your account then? I doubt you’ll be missed.

The “harbinger of poutine?” Willard, you’re trying too hard. You must dial back. By the way, what could a “harbinger of poutine” possibly mean? My guess is that it is intrinsically meaningless. You must think your material through before posting.
Where’s “The Duke, our Top Commenter? Where is that boy?
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Ya know, most of the agony that swirls from the ever-flushing vortex that is Facebook seems profoundly self-inflicted.
Staying away from Facebook and other forms of anti-social media might be a good first step in resolving the OB’s “problem.”
Failing that, why not just use Facebook and others like it as the simple communication tools they are meant to be, and stop making them the central activity of life?
Why are women such pussies then and can’t be bothered to initiate?
I thought we’re living in the age of equality. Or does that only apply when it’s convenient?!
