Question... do you find that now that you're over 50 people say you're MEANER?
Is it really MEANNESS that has taken us over or just lack of tolerance for nonsense...
I think as a younger women I felt OBLIGATED to understand and find a meaning to all the noise that went on in my life ... not so much anymore.
Sure I like FB... as much as the next person. I like the games and the interaction and even catching up with some acquaintances I haven't seen in a long time... and I SURE like the ability to store my photos ... my phone often runs out of space hehe...
I also like the ability to VENT and talk and write and do all that stuff in an environment where I am in control and it doesn't matter if anyone is listening or not because I can't SEE people being rude to me or bored with me or whatever... UNLESS they make a POINT of 'wanting' me to see all that by coming into my 'space' and letting me know how they felt about what I said or they thought I said or what I thought or what they believe I'm thinking by what they think I said .... OR if I ventured into a virtual menusa (sp) where we interacted and they let me know by their lack of online etiquette that I was not welcome in that particular ... thread.
People may sigh and say OMG why is she taking FB so seriously... well, that just isn't the point of this little rant... it just happened to be the direction of my digression hahah... the point I was bringing up was the reference to me being MEANER since I turned 50.
I just think my 'oh-I-care-if-you-like-me' button doesn't work as well as it used too....
If I didn't have an ONLINE outlet, I'm telling you right now... I wouldn't socialize at all ... comparatively speaking. I'm just not that fond of the whole ritual of 'interacting' socially... face to face (especially with new people) -- I don't even really enjoy talking on the phone as much as I did when I was younger. It's become very difficult for me as time passes... So it's not that I don't have a life off of FB or any other social media... it's just that in my offline life I don't really do stuff with other people. Texting has turned out to be a life saver for me... I don't do it all that well but it sure beats talking on the phone... sigh. I don't know why.
I think a lot has to do with the fact that I don't watch TV perse.
Additionally, I'm not losing my desire to be in a 'man / woman' relationship either so much as I've TOTALLY lost my desire to be in a sane / insane relationship with me being the sane party...
Lately I've only met men who either, have nothing in common, are bored with their current situation and want to 'give me a try', lie online so much that they have forgotten that in face to face encounters timelines should be chronological = there is just no way you could have done this for ex time, that for ex time all while saving the universe with your marvelous invention of light and fire... and only be 57 years old... it doesn't add up!
I just cant be bothered in my offline life. Now online sure... you're quite entertaining... kinda like candy crush... I play that same level for like MONTHS and yet... it's entertaining.
Well anyway, I'm just venting... in my corner of the virtual universe - feels good.
