I am a Facebook addict. I thought I’d start with what amounts to a disclaimer…
Up to recently my list of friends was quite limited, but then I was only adding proper friends, people I meet from time to time and I like. I used to scorn people with massive lists of friends who they hadn’t even met.
Saying that, I haven’t just changed bands but my list is now growing at a reasonable pace and most of the growth is from people I have never met and probably never will.
The reason? well, there are a couple of them. First I joined a couple of groups for white guys that like Asians and since then I’ve been receiving 3-4 friend requests from Asian guys from all sorts of places, unfortunately generally not from the UK.
And the second reason is all these dating applications that have started to come up lately: Are You Interested?, Hot or Not, Meet New People, etc.
They mostly work by you seeing some pictures of people and clicking whether you like them or not, whether you would like to meet them or how you rate them depending on the application itself.
I have only met one person through Gaydar so far (I know… I am a rare individual), but I have met some more though Facebook. I met P through it, and in the last couple of weeks I met N, Z and today AC. I will tell you about them on another post, particularly Z, he deserves a whole post.
I wonder if other people are finding it similar or it’s just that I tend to spend time on Facebook and therefore I end up finding more people there? I wonder if Gaydar will make their own Facebook app…
Twitter updates
Yeah, I used to also treat people with contempt for having huge lists of friends but all that changed when I had to stay at home for a while. My friends, the real ones, were just not active enough to my liking. And I have met two guys. One was older American and very prim and proper. The other one was a younger guy who…well, how should I put it…was up for a good time.
what group in facebook are you referring here?
Sorry Paul, I won’t say the names, but there aren’t that many groups dedicated to admirers of gay asians…
