Am i the only one who feel like technology makes people ego boost? For instance, you have sites like Facebook, Myspace (at its time) and others that can share pictures, comment on them, and make a female feel like a super model/get extreme attention. I feel as if, it's so easy to meet someone now-a-days, that the anticipation is not as it was before. Now, i'm only 26, but even as a teen(18) i remember getting a girl number, writing it down and generally excited to call her from my house the next day. to me, i think a lot of technology is distracting people, in my opinion, and as far as ego, a lot of male/females post pictures up and other people comment. People have a heightened sense of ego because a women who is curvy can post pictures and have a 100 men running for them, same with the guys being muscular. I'm a reaching or do people agree with me? (was going to post more but i'd be typing forever)

I disagree. While it can be easy to meet people, I still have to make a connection with someone in order for it to mean something. I still get excited about a phone call and a date. So yes, the anticipation still builds up and is fun. I don't deal with guys who have a big ego either.

I mainly state this, because i know plenty of females (being i am a male) who was never on a site. Signed up, got addicted to it, and went from a humble non-internet person to very egotistic and "busy". I know this is anecdotal, but i'd love to hear others opinions and like yours too. |

You have a good point there. Some, not all, let image lead the way, for a relationship to work. Thankgod we're not ALL like that. lol. It does make it a lot easier to not listen to whatever the other is saying. I too miss the days when everything was harder to get to. It meant putting in actual effort to earn respect. It's all too easy for people to switch the "off" button, all because they're online. On the plus side, i was once on an online chat helpline, and i got thanked for saving someone's life. So i don't exactly detest the idea of technology. It has it's good and bad, equally.

I can't speak for other women, but I still need to actually get to know a bit about a person on here in order to see if I'm interested. I still get excited to meet new people and to go on dates. So, it's really just going to depend on the person you're talking to. |

(was going to post more but i'd be typing forever) Technology in some ways indeed distracts people. What with losing lots of time on it. As of boosting an ego because of the example you just cited, I don't think this has the same effect in most people. Though I'd say it is another medium to share posts (pictures, videos and the likes), it is not a general observation that one's ego gets boosted because of this. It is wise to say though that there are lots who are comfortable to share these posts and in turn gets noticed. I disagree. While it can be easy to meet people, I still have to make a connection with someone in order for it to mean something. I still get excited about a phone call and a date.

I would relate this to people becoming savvy, not actually having anything to do with one being egotist. Just my point of view, being once a non-internet person to a bit savvy now. |
