myspace

I have never created a myspace account, simply because it takes way too much time to make it all fancy. It appears to be too time comsuming. Even though I can be the same way with facebook. But myspace seems to be a little different. While looking at different profiles I noticed some of these differences. A lot of the girls profiles had pictures of them trying to show off their bodies, trying to look sexually appealing. Girls profiles were very flashy, with lots of stuff going on. Most had music, one even had a song about sex. There were also a lot of slide shows of friends and parties. These profiles seem to represent who they are, or who they want people to see them as. I couldn't believe how just anyone could look at these. Although I did run across a few who were smart that set up protection to non friends from viewing their profile. As I was looking at these profiles, the only thing that came to mind, was what would these girls parents think if they knew what was on here. I think that these girls use this flashyness and sex appeal, to get noticed. But I think they are sending off the wrong message. By looking at the profiles I was able to learn a lot about them. What type of music they likes, movies, pretty much anything they put I on there, I could know. The boys on the other hand were quite the same. The boys were more plain, some had music. Most had the same basic picture, of them either trying to show of their muscles, or looking away trying to look tough. The music was typically rock some R&B, it really did depend on the person and their likings. There wasn't as much to find or do on the boys profiles. Most didn't have any additional pictures or little surveys you could take about how much of a slut you were. Just their basic information. It wasn't as easy to learn about the boys by just looking. They seemed to keep more in, or just didn't want to put in all the effort. Or even maybe seem "girly" with all the details.
