FACEBOOK IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP: FRIEND OR FOE?Facebook is as addictive as sport, beer and boobs but when it comes to relationships, is it a face you can trust?The advent of social networking meant fizzled friendships were reignited; narcissism in the form of “pimped up” profiles overflowing with superfluous pictures, comments and drab statuses became routine and; cyber stalking was considered an excusable habit. Facebook, specifically, has hooked 9.2 million Australians which is a vast chunk of our population of 21 million, so it’s no surprise why it’s a familiar face in relationships.
But does it do you and your missus more harm than good?
Undoubtedly, Facebook brings more pressure in relationships in the forms of: should you tag your missus, update your relationship status or update your profile with a cheesy status? Oh, and what the hell to do if she does it to you?
Well, we’ve asked some ladies for their take on Facebook mistakes blokes should avoid.
1)
Do not flirt with other girls on Facebook. Considering flirty comments on another girl’s profile are as public and as crappy as a portaloo, it’s obvious you shouldn’t go there. Especially if she’s a friend of your missus.
2)
Change your relationship status to “single” when you’re not. If you want to leave this relationship quick-smart, then you’re one click away from singlesville right here. Best to match your relationship status with hers to avoid this.
3)
Pashing girls in pictures If the girl your kissing is blood-related, then it’s cool (well, not really but this is a different discussion all together) but if they’re randoms you met a club/bar/party and your lips and hands are equally busy with this busty babe AND you’ve been tagged... well, good luck to getting out of this one.
4)
Sending private flirty messages to other girls Many blokes think this is a foolproof way to get around mistake number 1 (flirty comments) but think again. You could easily get caught out when your girlfriend logs onto Facebook using your computer that automatically logs into your profile. Best to avoid sexy communication to other girls on Facebook at all costs.
5)
Making your girlfriend jealous with your status Updating your profile status with anything that suggests you’re close to scoring big with the office hottie or flaunting that some babe picked you up is not a good idea. If you’re like us, getting picked up is about as rare as ...well, getting picked up! But that is no concession to use it as a jealousy tactic against your missus.
6)
Saving raunchy pictures of your missus’s mates from Facebook for your er, amusement. Downloading sexy pictures of your girlfriend’s friends because you “like to have them around” may seem somewhat innocent at the time. But this situation can turn as ugly as Kyle Sandiland’s mug if she finds them on your computer. You’ll need a miracle to get you out of this one. We recommend saving pictures of celebrities instead – easier getting away with these raunchy pictures that you “like to have around”.
