Tips on How to NOT Make People Want to Punch You Through the Computer Screen:


  •  Please read carefully. This is in regards to uploading pictures on facebook. When doing so, for the love of social networking, please avoid those Photoshopped colourful headings on your pictures. To those that have no idea what I’m talking about… Example would be putting things like “sexii”, “hot mami”, and “Angel girl” in hot pink glowing letters all over the photo. Facebook is not lava life or any other dating chat line so please avoid soliciting yourself.
  •   Another one mostly directed towards girls. I’m sure a lot of you know exactly what I’m talking about when I refer to “duck faces”. Puckering and sticking out your lips in photos does not make you look attractive. It’s as simple as that people. Ducks are definitely cute… but you are not a duck. Sorry to break it to you. If you engage in this activity, you’re definitely being that girl
  •   Taking mirror pictures of yourself in your bathing suit. Or Guys taking pictures of themselves flexing with their shirts off. You’re being “that” girl/guy that’s doing far too much on full blast.
  •   Putting deep and/or sexual lyrics in your facebook status. If you’re engaging in such activities; let’s be real here, you’re more than likely doing too much. If you enjoy posting lyrics in your status, I suggest you sign up for twitter. Even then, please make sure to hashtag things such as #Imlame #Doingtoomuch #beingTHATperson before or after the lyrics. Here are some examples of what not to do:
    •   “grab somebody sexy tell em’ hey… give me everything tonight!”… I’m simply confused, are you mugging someone? I didn’t realize facebook/twitter was a night club.
    •  You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless.” classic Taylor swift lyrics in the status. Yes I understand, you’re all so fearless.
  •   When you post things such as “Yo whats everyone sayin’ tonight?”, “bored, someone wanna chill?” or “wuts good 2nite?” (and I'm being generous with the spelling there) you’re setting yourself up for misery. No one will respond to you and you’re going to end up looking like a huge lou (loser). If you’re bored, pick up your phone and text/call a friend.

  1. dear these days,

    i'm talking to this guy who takes pictures of himself in the mirror without a shirt on (he does have a rockin' bod though). should I stop speaking to him?

    sincerely,
    confused

    1. That's a tough one. On one hand, it may be the first warning sign that he will be a D-bag, but he may simply not be aware that mirror-pictures are no-no's. Give him the benefit of the doubt for now, and if he gives more signs of being self-absorbed and inflated ego than go ahead cut him loose. Just remember--modesty is a valued trait.

      --Good luck with Mr. Mirror-Pic and I have that he is just niave to social networking norms!
