... Myspace Options

[oohsteph]

So I know a lot of you must have myspaces. I don't have one. I've been questioning for a long time whether or not to actually get one. I want one, just because everyone else does... but that doesn't seem like a valid enough reason. There are definatly more cons than pros to getting one.

First off, I wouldn't have any friends. Second, I heard that it's really 'sketchy' how old men try to add young girls as friends. So I don't know.

Any words of wisdom??

I was reluctant to get one at first. It seemed to be such a popularity performance and most of the sites I'd seen were saturated in pretension. My sister ended up getting one eventually and I found that it was actually a really good, one-shot way of keeping in touch with people. That's what I use it primarily for.

I haven't really blogged much there because I did most of that at Xanga. However, since the circle of online friends I'd had when I created my Xanga and I have drifted apart (to say the very least), I don't blog much there either.

^Same here. Some of my friends kept nagging me to get a myspace but i was reluctant b/c i didn't want to just get one because it was the new trend (plus my parents watch all those new reports about the creepy old men and I knew they wouldn't like finding out that I had a myspace) but when i did make one, i really liked it. It's easy to keep in touch with people even if you don't see them that often, you can just drop them a comment once in a while. And as for those creepy old men, no one can comment you unless you accept them as a friend, so if you wanna be cautious, just don't accept friend requests from people you don't know.

Okay, myspace is not bad. It's the stupid young girls (no offense) that do stupid things like add old men and meet up with people from online and the stupid parents for not knowing any of this and letting their children get on myspace when there is an age limit.

For people within age limit, there should be enough common sense in them to avoid old men.

Personally, there has been no disgusting old men that have added me. Hardly any strangers added me because I don't add people I don't know. Not even one.

There are way more pros than cons for me. I get to talk to people I haven't seen for a long time and get to know some more people. Myspace is meant for good, it's just that so many people join, there are some stupid people that manage to ruin the real fun.
