Life has many twists in turns in it and once again I am single. So much has changed since I was single. With the invention of facebook, everyone knows what everyone else is doing these days. I have been surprised a few times when people have known where I've gone and with whom and I know I never told them. Facebook is also a place to find out who everyone is dating. Which can be good or bad. Instead of asking one's friend if someone is single or their interests you can now look at their facebook page and check out there status and interests. For those single folks, facebook is a dating profile. It's cool or scary about how much you can learn about a person without even meeting them or talking to them.
By the pictures you post on your facebook page can let people know your interests. Show off that you are or aren't family oriented and for girls possibly baby hungry. Also if you have kids or not. Whether or not you are a social person and who you spend all your time with. By the pictures you post, no matter what your dating status is you may be showing it off. Posting of certain pictures can also manipulate one's status and start rumors. You may go out with friends and take pictures together and post them to show off the good time you've had. And they can be interpreted as you have a new boyfriend or girlfriend. If one person in a friendship wanted to manipulate the masses they could post pictures of the two of you together to ward off other potential suiters. Others will see the pictures of the two of you together and think you are a couple even thought you really aren't. This will help the person who wants you to be a couple to keep others away, but will hurt you from being able to date.
As one gets more life experience one learns that not everyone tells the truth all the time. This carries over to the world of facebook. Some people fill their facebook pages of old pictures of themselves or pictures that aren't even them to increase their dating pool. Some may even lie about their age or interest to entice others to become their friends. For me I don't play these games. The pictures posted are really me. On the other had I deleted most of my interests because I was tired of getting all these updates on my newsfeed. I haven't figured out how to post one's interests with out been flooded by spam.
