I'm conflicted on it.

On one hand - WGAS? It's just a picture. People are attractive. Its not a big deal.

On the other hand. This is how flirting starts these days. There can be implications. People slide in DM's like its nothing.

I dont know how I feel about it.

Naw, it doesn't bother me. I hardly ever get on fb anymore and that's about the only social media account I have. I honestly need to just delete it.

Maybe this is more of an issue for the younger generations...since they seem to be all about the "likes" and DM's etc. (no hate...just facts).

I like this male insight. I don't really have a firm opinion. However, most of my friends really care heavily. I also will notice when dating a guy if hes constantly following new women... that sometimes sends out a hoe flag to me. But im evaluating my perception of social media and how I let it affect me while dating, etc.

Most of my male friends say "No big deal". My female friends "Big deal"...

I kinda feel bad for this younger generation tbh. Real life should be about spending time with people's company u enjoy, doing things u enjoy doing. These kids get bent out of shape if their dopey picture of them taking a hike only garnered 3 likes. Meanwhile, they only went on that hike to take a stupid pic and post a "hey guys, look what I'm doing!" for validation

The sooner they learn nobody really gives a fuck, and the "just do u, boo" perspective, the better. click to expand

I couldn't have said it better myself...completely agree!

No thought should be put into liking a post or pic,

as the more you ponder about "whether or not

you should..." the more it will get awkward eventually.
