I've been googled and stalked on facebook a few times so nay for me. Too much private info on there to be seen before actually meeting. You must be a confident person with beauty that others appreciate then. I doubt that I will have a stalker. lol Yes to the first part.  Just a warning, saying that is like a death wish. Especially if you're a trusting fool.  Thanks~ now I am a trusting fool~ XD |

I say who cares, it's a good way to see who they are and you can block them at anytime. Facebook and mingle are no different in my opinion. Unless you are some really fake person on here and you are hiding your true identiy. Me thinks... Yes and no. FB does contain more intimate info that you may forget to manage and cause you some issues. For example, I personally deleted my ex- pix and comments. Somehow my friend put up some pix with comments on them prior to our break up and never erased (just like I don't clean up my friend's past life on my FB). That nearly ended my relationship once, and ladies don't lie about jealousy~ lol |

To me, i'd say it all depends on how you've managed your FB Account. If there is anything you think you don't want the world to see in the first place, DON'T put it up on Facebook, Linkedin or any other networking site! Though with proper management of your privacy settings, you can decide on who sees what! And if you're observant enough, you can decide who see what, using the dropdown button by the Post box. :-) To me, these are my online faces to the world, and so, if there is anything that i feel is private, it wouldn't be out there in the first place :-) But if you feel you have some really private stuff you aren't ready to share with ur new found friend, don't add them on FB until you get to know each other better! If they are for real, they'd be understanding with ur point of view. :-) If i intend getting serious with you, i'd take all d time in the world to win ur confidence to the point you wouldn't have anything to fear with sharing ur private stuff with me :-) This is also true....hmmm... |

I guard my privacy and my Facebook wall is very personal to me. I share it only with a small group and very rarely will add anyone on. If's it's a guy, I better know him well enough and definitely no one new that I may barely be dating, or considering dating, No Way!!!

Unless you are some really fake person on here and you are hiding your true identiy. I think there is a big difference because facebook is much more detailed, with much more references to people who know you , where you live, where you went to school,,etc,,, plus people probably speak more openly on their OWN Facebook page than in these social forums where most dont even participate in these threads and are in mixed company when they do,,, |

I think anyone who is willing to let you on their facebook is probably more of an honest person. I always think my life is pretty much an open book and people choose to either accept me or reject me. And if needed I block them, in the event they are psycho... |

That would be a negative for me... only close friends and family get access to my FB

Unless you are some really fake person on here and you are hiding your true identiy. I think Facebook and mingle are quite different. I use each for a different reason. I don't use Facebook to meet and get to know new people. It's reserved for people I already know. This site, for me, is a place to meet new people. I'm certainly not fake or hiding my identity, so I don't think that has anything to do with it. |

I guess I am typically more vague anyways, so I dont say things on facebook like, my cancer results came back whatever. Its nothing different than I would post here in the Well wishes, or anonymous or not anonymous thread. A status is a simple statement. Other than your work and school, i see no difference, but my facebook is listed private to everyone I dont use the friends of friends option or any of that. |

I just have no desire to add random people I don't know yet on Facebook. There's no need for me to do that. People don't need to know more personal info until I want to give it to them. I rarely add anyone from here on Facebook. Those I have added, I actually know in person, or have spent a lot of time getting to know them. I have not accepted friend requests from those who have never actually interacted with me outside of the forums. |

I have not accepted friend requests from those who have never actually interacted with me outside of the forums. I have only added two people from mingle. Both people I consider to be trustworthy friends. Anyways, I just kick them off if not. I think for me, I am more interested in adding them to check them out. I havent had to really make that choice before though but if I could I would so i can scan through all their pics and see if they have a decent personality. I would rather know before I meet up blindly with someone. Some people here are total fakers. (not you)just sayin |

I do get what you're saying. I'm just not willing to give someone access to personal info just do I can check out their page. We all have different ways of doing things, though.

Well if I am at a point where I am going to meet them anyways, they probably already know where I live because I wouldnt go out with a stranger I just met. Usually I talk with someone for at least 3-4 weeks before I am even willing to meet up with them somewhere, Plus they would be local anyways in order for us to meet so that stuff would already be known. What if you went on facebook and found out they were married or something though.

To me it's not just about what info they may be able to find out about me... all my friends and family share on my FB too.

All they find out is who I went to high school with. And maybe when my birthday is. I could care less.

While it is understandable to take some time to get to know the person well through regular chat, messages, email, sms etc, it'd still boil down to how you define ur Facebook page. If it is totally private, then the best way out could be to create another OPEN profile that contains only the BASICS about you! That way you get to know the person much more and if you're satisfied they're for REAL, you UPGRADE them to your PRIVATE FB Circle!

To me it's not just about what info they may be able to find out about me... all my friends and family share on my FB too. That's true. I hadn't thought about that, I guess that is how those mutual friends get started.mi never add people when it says we have 3 mutual friends. Often it's been people none of us know. That's a good point. I should be more considerate of my friends. |
