It was in 2008-2009, Facebook was getting big and it was basically the first social media that everyone was on. I remember adding a lot of people from my school because I wanted it to look like I had a lot of friends. It was like the Wild West back then, no one knew social media etitquette, people basically had a profile picture taken with a Sony Ericsson and wrote updates about what they'd had for lunch.
So I saw this as a way to get in contact with girls and I added girls and just wrote some lines about them looking like a famous actress or something. They were like "do I know u?" or barely responded. I probably got a reputation from that in school, writing to all these girls, but back then, you didn't really realize that Facebook and real life were one.
I'm sure Chads my age had a blast at the time, finally there was a way to map girls out. Us uglies really thought we could take advantage of it too, but we just ended up making fools of ourselves.
I don't really know how teenagers do it today, but everyone is so established on Instagram and Snapchat and "sliding into DMs" is such a common practice and expected from a pretty girl that I don't think it can have too big of an impact on your social life if you don't go crazy.
Back then it was "accept my friend request" and then trying to flirt. Now if you slide in DMs, you're just one of hundreds or thousands shooting your shot. You're a follower, not a wannabe friend. The landscape is different. "Rizzing" is seen as funny and ironic and can easily be explained that way. On Facebook, lonely people were floating around adding people trying to have connections.
People around my age, did you try to talk to random girls on Facebook around this time?
