Am I the only one...

[Avalanche]

...that doesn't have a Facebook? I'm pretty f*cking sure that everyone that I know has one. Everyone, except me. To tell ya the truth, I never had a Myspace, I don't Twitter, and I've never sent a text message, so I suck when it comes to staying in touch. On top of that, I hardly ever use my mobile, and I've gone months at a time without even logging into my e-mail account. Does it seem that I am a bit reclusive by nature, or am I just choosing to put up a giant-ass barricade to keep out those that I know.

Oh, I almost forgot: working and driving a car are two entirely foreign concepts to me. Seriously, I'm in my mid-20s, and I've never done either activity, although I've heard that this work thing sucks more than having a root canal w/o painkiller, while gaining a driver's license is something that will never happen, because of the massive amounts of red tape involved (remember, I live in Rhode Island, the one place in America where the simple becomes impossible).

I don't have a Myspace/Facebook page, I've never tweeted, never sent a txt msg and I don't have a cell phone. Beat that. (I do use Skype and email to communicate with friends/family, but very rarely.)

I'm pretty reclusive. Which is unfortunate, because it's only cool to be reclusive if you're a genius. But if you're in your mid-20's, you've never had a job and you're not homeless, you may well be a genius.

Work does indeed suck. My colleagues in the PhD program at UIUC are here because they want to become college professors. I'm here because I don't want to get a job.

you're not the only one as far as I'm concerned.
don't have or ever had a Facebook, myspace and don't have a clue on what that Twitter sh't is.
I do own a Hi5 account though which I visit like once every month to check if there are any naked (semi will do too) pics of my girlfriends and other bitches on my friend-list that I don't actually know.

I use my mobile exclusively for calls and sms, and that is all really need it for really. Not much else I could do with a Nokia 1600 though...

about that second part, I do work because I have too especially now that I'm living on my own.
Got my driver's license when I turned 18, drove my dad's car for a few months and then realized that overall driving sucks major donkey balls.

small world!

if you're in your mid-20's, you've never had a job and you're not homeless, you may well be a genius.

so true

I don't have a cell phone or myspace. But someone made me get facebook. When she says jump I say "how high?"

 

[Run DMB]

I got coerced (needless to say - by a female friend) into starting a Hi5 account. Haven't checked it in months.

I like it. It has its use that's for sure but to a certain point. I wouldn't feel comfortable saying everything and anything and posting anything really serious nor do I feel the need for it. (If people I know want to put up photos and stuff that's great though as I'm an extremely curious type of person).

One specific example I can think of is when you see two other friends conversing with each other via wallchat or whatever it is and everyone can see it. If I want to say something to someone (not even necessarily private) I'd much rather send a PM/mail/text.

PMing is very handy on Facebook too. Becomes a substitute to texting I find, especially if you want to organise something with more than a person. Very handy.

One of my best friends is an-anti Facebook though. Refuses to sign up to in any capacity.

I find it useful if you're trying to network for parties and keeping up with what random friends/aquaintances are doing.

 

[rony31]

My face is too gorgeous not to be on Facebook, so I had to get it.

 

[hot_player7]

You are not the only one....I only never involve in facebook,friendster,twitter and etc....Just this year i start playing FB and twitter.

 

[MaestroZidane]

I don't have a facebook, I have a myspace account but very rarely use it.. and only because there a two good girlfriends on there that constantly write me messages. Even then, I only log on there just two to three times a month. As far as twitter, I know what that is, but could care less about it.

I have a Job and Love what I do, so I won't complain there. I used to have a car, but after my brother totaled it, I have relied on public transportation, and honestly.. seeing my monthly expenses go from $500 to $60.. I love it

 

[King]

I don't have a cellphone, myspace or facebook. I don't know what is it but I hate all this social networking sites for some reason and I hate all those who get new cellphone every other month.

 

[Jaboldinho]

There are people who don't have a cell phone?

I've been using Facebook for some months now. I could live without it, but it's a good way to pass the time and keep up with your friends - also those who you rarely meet in real life anymore.

 

[Mus]

before reading the rest of the responses i would have said yes.. but now i am amazed

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah you guys are insane. Facebook is good for keeping up with what people are doing and if you meet a girl you can instantly go take a look at what she's all about. I have a car, although I'm on the spare tire, and can't afford a new one, so I don't really drive right now. Text message all the time. Don't have a job right now because I hate working and don't want one, but I've worked some hard days in my life in machine shops or landscaping. Plus the economy is horrendous right now for lawyers, so that's kinda kicking my ass.

 

[leungtl]

I have Facebook and so do all of my friends, just makes everything so much easier... Even my 21st was organised over it!

 

[Áļéאָ]

Everyone I know is using FB in order to find pics of hot chicks.
I believe this to be the 21st century alternative to going out and staring at chicks. It's like virtual staring.

 

[mrromaniac]

I use them to find pics with stupid-clothed chicks, ones with kitschy clothes and to post them on a specialized website to have a laugh.

Like everybody I know checks those sites daily... it caused mass hysteria in Romania, damn.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

You can't really do that for strangers because most people are going to have some privacy settings. As for looking at bikini pictures from some college friend's vacation to Miami? That doesn't hurt anyone.

 

[Mandieta6]

I didn't want to have a facebook, but one day someone invited me to make one, so I opened it and suddenly all the hot girls I ever knew from around the world popped up. People I hadn't heard from in years, so it's a nice tool. Gets kind of annoying, though. I also have the sucky spanish alternative: tuenti.

Barely use my phone for anything, much less texts.

Well done on not having a job yet getting consistent internet access, though.
