"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

South Park episode on Facebook that just aired yesterday: http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/267112

Oh boy, I wasn't sure to post this here or in the "list and define savages" thread

some background:
a random chick liked my friend's status, so i started a conversation:

http://imm.io/jou

immediately after this i added her. she accepted, and i commented on the blurb in her newsfeed about "Stephanie and David are now friends":

neil strauss has so goddamn much to answer for

I left out this winner of a quote(s):

additional info:
her statuses are about her falling for tools and dumb guys who treat her like shit, so she's probably not a real winner herself. but i also think she's desperate/dumb enough to fuck the guy (me) from this scenario.

...

how the fuck do you convince a girl you're not creepy anyway? it seems like anything else i would have said could have been taken as creepy.

Can somebody help me out here? Is 14,000 a lot of friends for a company/organisation to have on Facebook? Need some idea of the numbers different companies can attract.
ta

that's a lot ime, unless we're talking coke or something?

It's the PFA.

more people need to gawp at those messages/posts Cunga has kindly relayed to us

really depends on the size/scope/appeal of the company - thats a good number for a small business - 10k is a significant milestone as facebook offers some pro features at that point

lol coke has 5m+

well suuure, if you want to offer popularity as some sort of indicator of success.

me and TK red lemonade know better

The thing with Coke, though, is that most people are probably fans of the PRODUCT more so than the COMPANY -- though in some cases it's probably hard to separate the two.

<3 coke the company, their accounts rock

supply chain is like WHOA

was looking at their org chart lately, ws that silo look they rockin

UPDATESSSSSSSS

WELL, the date went alright i think. i had a great time, and i thought she did, too. but then when i said "we should do this again!" there was slight resignation in her voice with "oh, yea." i'm really fucking bad at reading social situations, so i'm not sure if i misread her having fun or if it was the way she said "oh, yea" that i missed.

i'd say there's a 30% chance of a second date. time will tell.

...

one time i had an impulse to go into the most embarrassing store i knew and buy the most embarrassing shirt i could find. hence the twilight shirt from hot topic.

and i wore a polar bear shirt instead. same vein, but less gay. i'm not convinced the clothes had much to do with it. we talked about religion, politics, and my complete sexual history. and most of those topics were her idea. she'd asking something, i'd say a little about a given topic, then wait for a response to make sure i hadn't gone too far. sure enough, she was playing right along with the conversation! i really don't know why she didn't want a second date; i'm trying really hard to think if it was something i did.

just a lil dude thinkin too much baout things

hang on, wha-

if she's the sort of chick who bought his BS, she ain't the sort of chick worth dating

unless you're this guy and in it for the stats :(

He came thisclose to wearing a Twilight shirt on the date. I am tempted to post the picture.

not heard it called that before

ok are you getting this all from a) 4chan or b) somethingawful

kinda confused by the concept of 'the stats' being a more likely explanation for a dude tryin to get laid than, y'know, gettin laid.

oh come on it's clearly a prestige thing

also next-level black-ops creepy and i hope she realises this ASAP

marc loi-y jagger rides again

Always good to abstractly defend a chick and call her "not worth dating" at the same time.

how has marc loi not made his way to ilx yet? ilx is the #1 result for his name.

Yes, I'm sure he would find us on that Google search and think 'what a welcoming community, why haven't I joined them?'

SOrry, I'm being an unfunny wise ass.

Oh what do I know, maybe she's having fun with him - she certainly seems self-aware enough to treat the whole thing as a joke, or a game. I was just lashing out at all of this because it's so fucking obvious and lame.

Well done to everybody involved, you're sure giving us all a lot to think about!

welll I didn't quite mean 'become a regular' xp

And it was a very personal 'not worth dating'. I like people to be fun, but I don't want someone who'll buy a very smarmy PUA move hook, line and sinker. Maybe this is naive of ME but this show of 'initiative' on the dude's part falls the wrong side of opportunism and the right side of plain manipulative. I don't like my women malleable.

Oh, just fucking ban me already, I've got a bad cold and I'm pissed off

Just to clarify, I found these highly amusing in a grotesque way until today's updates, where they actually had a date and he started talking about probabilities as if she was some sort of commodity. Then it became sad. The girl needs to fucking shut that wanker down.

If I were her I would totally have gone out with this guy. why because he is interesting. This is not PUA stuff iirc.

Of course whether or not I'm worth dating is an open question.

poll

about whether you'd have gone out with this guy, I mean

ok there's mitigation in the fact she spoke to the mutual friend first, ignore me i'm a mess

mitigation for her, i mean. and i feel bad for the 'not worth dating' line - that was hot-headed ranting and has no place on '"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"'. dude's still deeply suspect

cruising facebook for my future wife see u in 2018 when i find some1 who doesn't laff at me
