So this is mostly geared towards the girls. How does facebook affect your impression on a certain guy? I ask this because the other day some girl said to me (I'm a guy by the way) you are always talking to girls you have only girls on your wall. it was in a negative tone. is it intimidating? how do u use it?

and how about pictures. facebook is becoming such a powerful impression maker and breaker i feel. how does it affect your impressions?

[P0TAT0]

I guess if a girl was into you, she'd see it as you get a lot of attention from other girls and find that unappealing.

When girls are interested in a guy, there is no doubt that they will fb creep you (haha, me and my friends use this term all the time) and you must admit, you probably do it to girls you're interested in too. You wanan find out who they like or if anyone likes them or if they're interested in you... etc.

[lo_xl0ucH]

very interesting. Unappealing is not good

[chopstick^^]

Most girls have more girl friends than guy friends to be honest.
Even if they get along with the guys, most likely they be chatting to either a close guy friend or a guy she personally like.

If a guy alway's chatting to girl's then i think he's a flirty guy, if its only girls. I have guy friends who have a balance in his wall, theres girl's and boys.

I agree with potato.

Facebook is a double-edged sword - however I find more positives

It's an easy way for new friends, classmates, co-workers etc to learn about you quick: interests/dislikes etc

The wall openly allows others to view conversations - which may lead to jealousy in your case

Also contributing to impressions are events that a friend may attend - since the friendlist is alerted
It reflects personalty and interests again

I would say the downside is when a teacher or boss views your profile.
The impression they originally had of you will be compromised.

Also FB opens up drama for those who openly speak negatively about others on walls
Hence 'cyber-bullying' and hate groups created

haha good ol' stalkbook.

I got a random message from someone I've never met before.
It was along the lines of, "I like your shirt! It's fits you well"
I was literally like

We messaged each other back and forth and actually met up for dinner a few times.
I never asked her how she came upon my page, because we don't have any mutual friends.
I was a bit hesitant, because I didn't know anything about her, but she was cute and the conversations were funny and interesting, so we met up. I found out that she's not some psycho stalker homicidal maniac like I imagined, but an outgoing and chill person.

Something must be in the air these days... I'm having so much incredible and complete random luck!

[dster]

ALOT. My friends and I always check it and I remember one time a friend of mine was deciding between getting back together with her ex or going for a new guy. but the new guy had a lot of pics up with other girls so she thought he was a player n went back to the ex but it turned out that the guy has never even dated before... but now its too late

[_dax_]

Guys can have friends who are girls too - it shouldn't be assumed they are his previous girlfriends

[hippiehop]

I can understand how if a girl is interested in you, she might notice... cuz I definitely do not notice those things for most people... but I did notice it for my ex-bf. He ONLY has girls write on his wall and FREQUENTLY too.

That situation is so weird. Even weirder is that you went ahead with everything not knowing where the hell she came from. lol.
I would have just ignored the messages.

Same here, though, it's my current boyfriend. And it's the two same girls always lmao

[EHNerJI]

lol, well it really depends on the content =/
but, it may make the guy seem like a flirt..
if he has a lot of girls talking to him lol. XD
umm pictures? XD i like it when a guy has good pictures,
but not to the level of seeming.. narcissistic? haha.
like.. 49849028 profile pics, constantly posting in 'kawaii' groups X:
the guy i like is so unphotogenic =___=;
when i saw his pics on his profile i was like O_____O;

LOLLLL. dang.

for me, facebook doesn't greatly affect my impression of a guy. if there are mostly girls writing on his wall, then i just think a lot of girls think he's a cool guy. it depends on the context of the comments though. like if they're flirty and stuff, then a lot of those girls probably want to be with him romantically...? idk. but you never really know how a person is until you see them in "real" life and see how they interact with others.

[miyavaki]

lol i actually met my bf on facebook. he added me and we just started talking and one day met up. i was quiet shock to find that he only lives 15 mins away from me and we have never seen/cross each other. we've both been living here quiet awhile lol

[한스 ㅋㅋ]

-Don't put romantic stuff
-Show pictures of you and your mates
-Pics of many girls is good.

those are the signs that girls see.

[colloquy]

When I see 500 pictures of them partying, holding red solo cups, etc... I get a bad impression, I must admit. Lol.

[Panda Kisses]

I honestly do base some impressions through facebook activity.

- If you're a guy or a girl, and you get a lot of wall posts from the opposite sex (and usually different people, not just the same ones over and over), I would think you're a a bit of a flirt.
- If you have a lot of solo profile pictures taken like those crappy MySpace angle photos, I would think you're somewhat of a loner.
- If you have a lot of those Compare People or other social applications and I can see you're active on them, I would think you're an attention seeker.
- If you keep changing your status to like, "Bob is sleepy! lol!" or "Sally is sick of PMSing..." or anything stupid like that, I would think you're just fishing for comments.
- If you have a lot of partying pictures/albums, I would think you fail at school. Especially if your pictures involve drugs or alcoholic beverages.

But that's just small impressions. I don't base my whole perspective of a person on silly Facebook stuff ^^.

not true.
A guy talking to many girls can give the impression that hes poplar, and social which may make him look dominant.
Which can and may be very appealing to us girls.

[_ATELIER]

scrolling through pictures of someone partially wasted is def. the deal breaker for me, i dun need to see that lol.
facebook friends don't really effect me, others might think differently like your friend;
per se... you have alotta girl friends, it could only mean two things, you're either a player or you're gay =P
though i could really careless what friends that person might have.

[Rolos]

if your wall only had comments from girls, then I guess it could give off the wrong impression. like someone might think 'o if he's flirting with me he's probably like this to all the other girls too'

photos.... if you have loads (like with friends and out and about) you could give the impression you're social and like having a good time. but personally I don't care much about what photos mean. you can make your photos private (like I do), or so only some people can see them. So overall you're not actually giving the real you.

it's just a site to catch up with people or whatever. there is still your REAL life to think about.
