It really depends. I think an empty Facebook page is way better than a page filled with idiotic friends making idiotic remarks over trivial matters. Any scenario in between those two extremes is fine too. I don't really judge a person by their Facebook, I can understand that some people live their life offline and in the real world or prefer to keep things private, others like to update people on every mandate detail of their life and if they are entertaining I won't hold it against them either.
I don't know/associate with a single guy that would think facebook is important. I'm sure they exist but this would be just about at the bottom of most guys lists.
Does it reflect badly on a woman if her facebook isn't being blown up all of the time? If it's obvious she's not a very popular person?
I think this is related to the fact that I'm well aware that I'm perceived as "lower status".
I think it would be unusual for her to not have any close friends but few friends altogether is a non-issue.
[besides, FB blowing up all the time is meaningless]
I'd actually prefer a woman who's not glued to her damn cell phone all the time texting and facebooking. That said, I'd hope she doesn't have tons of friends because she's a "just some really close friends rather than a bunch of acquaintances" person and not because she's an unlikeable person.
Back when I was in high school, I never cared about the amount of friendships I had off or on facebook until I got a boyfriend who was incredibly sociable and active on and off the site. He was very into his friendships and valued them, their ideas and opinions, a great deal. It made me feel insecure being compared, especially because I was always so eager to please.
Now, I don't have a facebook, I have very few if any friends and I sometimes ask myself the same question: "Does a guy want a girl who doesn't have friends?" Some don't care, some do.
But I get along very well with people. I just don't have that many friends.
I think it'd be weird if she didn't have many friends. I don't care about facebook.. but people who don't have friends typically have some screws loose in their heads.
Sure there are always exceptions, and if there was an exception I wouldn't be bothered.
if she stays away from others there is a reason, just like guys no different.
Actually it is different, women are wired to be social, guys, less so. If a guy does not have a million friends and does many things by himself that is not strange in the slightest, if a woman does it it is far more unusual.
The girl could have had a boyfriend she invested too much time into early on. It can be tough meeting people as an adult. Is it weird if she has like 2-3 friends or are we talking about a hard 0? I have 2-3 friends, but my old friends 1. Slept with my boyfriends and 2. Started smoking a lot of weed and kinda fit into a different group than me. I was self conscious and those people were judgemental and did a lot of drugs, but I was a scared person then which panned out ok, I guess. I don't do drugs. At the same time, I had a bf and invested a lot in him and lived with him, but he cheated a lot and I didnt have people at my place. That was that. So, I would have more friends if I were a more confident person maybe. Work in progress. The overinvested bf or gf thing may be a more common and forgivable factor than this forum acknowledges.
