Is number of facebook friends an indication of coolness? - creasicle - 11-09-2012 12:31 PM I was just having a debate on a facebook group when some guy said "you only have 82 friends" or something like that. I really don't care what that kid says but I'm interested in the principal of more contacts indicates more coolness, do you buy into that? I actually used to have much more contacts but I deleted them because I never talked to any of them, have I somehow lost cool points by doing this? - Alex - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM Personally thats just a 13-16 thing Most people start growing out of that around 17 and just want their OWN friends as contacts - Laurane - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM Who cares how many friends you have on facebook. It's facebook, not real life. Isn't it the quality of your friends anyways? But I see what you mean, from a sociological view point, it does seem that people at times view more contacts as cooler or making the person more popular, but honestly, it's not that big of a deal. Cyber space is interesting, but I'm sure you're just as cool as someone who has 100000 friends. - izzygracececilia - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM Definitely not, especially if you deleted lots of people that you never talk to. I know some really odd people who have up to 1000 friends. People just add them cos they think "omg _____, he's so funny", in a mocking way. So no, most of the time. Well i hope so cos i only have 200 - ☮ - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM nahh at least you actually talk to all of your friends! i have like 450 and most of them are from high school and college but i don't actually talk to all of them. - NTD - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM Please! That's just so crazy. I have like 200 in my friend list but non of them're my friend. I think the way you update your status'll reflect how cool u are. - anonithing - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM No. Using number of friends on facebook as a measure of coolness is actually pretty sad. It's much better to have a few friends that you get on really well with than loads of friends, none of whom you really know or know you. - Rick - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM facebook is full of stalkers , liars and false friends i know the hard way if you want a friend be careful who you pick as contact dont give out information you dont need to give out facebook privacy is bad! if you want me as a contact or my help just email me at rbuxtonjr@yahoo.com and i promise you ill be a friend you can count on talk soon Rick! - MidnightSpecialist419 - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM No, I had facebook previously, and I only added my close friends, I found no use In adding lots of people I barely even talk too. - SpaldingJag - 11-09-2012 12:39 PM That's sort of a matter of opinion I guess. I'm like you. I don't really make someone a friend on Facebook unless I actually know them well enough to add them, however, some people just add and add friends because they do think it's cool to have hundreds of friends. Frankly, I don't care about the "coolness" factor. I think your way and my way are actually the "cool" way to go, so don't even sweat it, my friend. You're cool. |
