| | | The Vanity of Facebook The more I look through Facebook, the more I am convinced that some people are absolutely obsessed with themselves.
I'm talking about the people who post 40+ photos every 5 days of themselves and their self-indulged friends that think drinking and doing makeup in the bathroom for an hour together makes them "hot". Sometimes I'd just like to put them in their place and just say "No... actually you're quite overweight, and that makeup and shirt just make you look nasty."
But I guess they're happy, so who am I to pass judgement?
Even some gorgeous people love to have the world look at their 450+ photo albums... I think it's a little sick. | | Loveforum Breaktime | | |  | Loveforum also recommend - Green tea - Help in weight loss and decrease rate of getting cancer.

| | | Who cares? You can't look at anyones profile unless you add them as a friend. So if people post 40 pictures just so two people who see their dumb ass everyday can see them ...let them knock themself out.

| | | I recently removed my profile information and took off all those stupid programs. Facebook is retarded... but then again, I would revert back to the way of the samurai, if I could.

| | | I always had some idea of how photo-crazy some people were, but it suprises me when I find old friends who have completely changed that way. | |

| | | I think some people use facebook as a place to store their photos. It is really only vain (IMO) if all the photos are pictures of just themselves (no friends, families, etc.)... otherwise, who cares?

| | | I Found a person on Facebook, that had 1000+ friends, that is just dumb.
I maybe have 16 on mine, and i'm fine with it, because I talk to them frequently, i don't care too much for acquantances on my profile.
I prefer quality over quantity.
P.S. Plus people get to know your personal life a little too, so it's not worth it.
