myspace

As I was looking through peoples myspace accounts, i realized that a persons personality could be portrayed through the types of things that they choose to put on their profiles. most of the girls that i saw had stuff like slide shows with all the pictures of their girlfriends and and boyfriends and the parties that they had gone to. there were also things with a lot of glitter and flashy icons and such. as i was looking at the profiles of older women i realized that there wasnt as much glitter and flashy things, there were however pictures but they werent in a slide show with the funny way of changing the picture, they were just on the page. the songs on the younger girls profiles were more provocative along with the pictures that they had on their of their own bodies and that of their friends. the older women had pictures of themselves in way less provacative ways. there were even pictures of their husbands or wives and children. their songs are more likely to be country or speak of things like love and family and not so much about promiscuity. The guys profiles were more plain and basic backrounds with pictures of hot girls that they had never meet or pictures of their favorite cars. their songs are mostly portraying masculinity in was that show that men are pimps or they look hot in their white T's. The pictures that they have of themselves are mostly them with their shirts off or just sitting in front of the camera with a "ya...im tough" look on their faces, i even saw a picture of a guy on his four wheeler with the dirt flying around him and the thing on two wheels. they dont have any or hardly any pictures on their profile and if they do its pictures of parties that they have gone to and gotten trashed at or of sports events that other people took of them. i think that myspace is a way for people to see what they are too afraid to show off the internet. this way if a girl is used to being the sports person and wears clothes like the long shirts and sporty shorts they can show their girly side by putting glitter on their pages. a person who is shy aroud crowds of people they dont know can show what they are really like around people that they are used to. its just another way for people to show how they are without feeling stupid.
