Facebook Chain Statuses

Apparently there is a new facebook chain status floating around.  I didn’t even know it was a thing, until I fell for one.

A couple of days ago, I notice a good amount of my facebook friends posting weird things about themselves or their relationships.

One of the most popular one being … “I’ve just found out I’ve been cheated on for the past 5 months.”

Being the good facebook friend that I am, I started liking their statuses.  Because that’s what good facebook friends do right?

After “liking” 5-10 of those post, I get a message from one of my friends with the following content:

You should not have liked or commented!  Now you have to pick one of the 14 below and post to your status. This is the 2014 breast cancer awareness game. Don’t be a spoil sport, choose your poison, and change your status :
1) Damn diarrhea
2) Just used my boobs to get out of a speeding ticket
3) Anyone have a tampon, I’m out
4) How do you get rid of foot fungus
5) Why is nobody around when I’m horny?
6) No toilet paper goodbye socks!
7)Someone offered me a job as a prostitute but I’m hesitant.
8)I think I’m in love with someone what should I do?
9) I’ve decided 2 stop wearing underwear.
10) I still love my ex.
11) I really don’t know how 2 tell anyone and I’m sick of hiding it I’m gay.
12) Guess it was 2 good 2 b true I’m pregnant.
13) Just won $7000 on a scratchy.
14) I’ve just found out I’ve been cheated on for the past 5 months.

Post with no explanations. Sorry, I fell for it too ! LOL….. Looking forward to your post.

At this moment in time, I’m not too happy that I fell for a trap, but I decide to humor him and post the following status onto my facebook page:  “Just used my (man)boobs to get out of a speeding ticket.”

It got 17 likes.

After it happened I realized the following things …

Reddit: Hating on “Just Girly Things”

Apparently, there is this really popular blog called “Just Girly Things”.

It mainly focuses on all the cute, adorable, and precious things that girls enjoy in life such as …

#1.  Past Relationships

#2.  Being Silly

#3.  And Expanding Your Social Network

I don’t know about you but I find most of these things quite disgusting.  I’m sure it’s due to the fact that I’m a guy and I can’t really appreciate all the little things that girls are fond of.

Well apparently, I’m not the only one out there who finds these “Just Girly Things” repulsive.

There is a group of redditors (people who post on reddit) who also share in my distaste of “Just Girly Things”.

Here are some of their posts:

How To NOT Pickup A Girl

I went to the club this past weekend to celebrate a friend’s birthday party.  The club had Far East Movement deejaying that night, so it was really packed.

Everyone in my friend’s group got drinks, including a Long Island Tea for me.  It was my first Long Island and it reminded of a vietnamese drink called chanh muoi or “salty lemon drink”.

Well I got drunk off that one drink, danced my butt off for like 15-20 mins and then I crashed and burn.  By crash and burn, I mean I had no more stamina or energy to keep on dancing.  Maybe it’s my age.

Regardless, I stood in the back of the audience that was crowding the stage where Far East Movement was singing.   My goal was to stay away from my friend’s group because I knew two things would happen if I got close …

#1.  If I’m with them, I will get pulled into their dancing mob which I had no more energy to do.
#2.  I will get pressured into drinking more which will literally cause me to black out or puke.

So I’m leaning on the wall, slowly recovering when I notice a cute girl stand a couple of feet to my side.  She looked like she worked there because she was wearing all black and she looked sober.
