In the movie ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’ , there was a scene where Drew Barrymore’s character got a message from someone in this social network site called ‘myspace’ and she showed it to her gay colleagues and they were like, “Oh no, no-no…don’t you know that ‘myspace’ is a new booty call?” I was like, what? Well, here is the thing, I have a myspace account for almost two years now. Just like my other social network account, I was using this site to posted my blog as I really wanted for more people to read my writes therefore I will get more feedback so I can review and revise my writes. So yeah, that was kind of embarrassment to me when I found out about this fact. I mean, now that am thinking back, maybe the film was right. Oh, I didn’t say this just because of the film, though. The film was just reconfirmed my suspicion these whole time. I mean, here is my story. I joined myspace because of a friend of mine suggested me to. And because of, as I said above, my wish of reaching more readers, so yeah, I then signed up for the site.
The first two weeks I registered, I’ve got four marriage’s proposal from all over the world. I was like, huh? I mean, which part of my profile showing that am looking for a man? None, Zip, Nada! I bet none of the person proposed to me saw my profile as it was set for private, so…what the heck? At that time I was confused, hence I deactivated my account as it was kind of creep me out. Come on, how often did you get someone you don’t even know proposing to you? How desperate can you be to do such thing? One of the guy who proposed was an US soldier who served his country in Iraq, as he described himself on his message. Over a sympathy to him, I replied his message as at first he was only saying that he wanted to be friends. Did he? Nope. After I replied his first message then he was like talking nonsense and mention about building ‘OUR’ future together, yup…exactly, he said our! Then he also came out with this crazy idea of leaving his job in the army to come to my country so we can start our business together. Seriously, this was his second message to me, and he was already referred to me and him as a ‘we’. I don’t know, should I laughed at him or pity him?
So yeah, I deactivated my account for a while back then because of this stupidity. But then I was thinking, why bother? I mean, for me, to have more people reading my writes was a blessed. Then why would this silly joke stop it? Over that consideration, I reactivated my account again. Surprise-surprise! Yeah, as you guessed…here comes the proposals all over again. But, after seeing the movie, I was just having a laugh about that. I mean, I never reply to any no more, instead, am having fun by reading them with my friends and joke around about them. Am sorry guys, but it does feel funny to read all of your proposals. Hah!
So, is myspace a new booty call? Maybe. Maybe for some people who has those hectic schedules hence have no time to socialize, they can use this site for searching a date or whatever. But for me, I prefer meeting someone in person and follow the organic process of falling in love naturally. Hey, am a freak, remember?
