The people you are looking at are the ones on YOUR list...perhaps you need to rethink those people that you consider friends?
And simply because you have some friends that "expose everything" on FB, it does not follow that everyone else does the same. Your experience might be a "virtual reality", but it certainly is not mine.
I understand that, but consider the following: when you accept a coworker or any friend as your friend, they also bring some of their friends along. And who is to say that when one of your friends or family member is communicating with you at Facebook, some of their friends aren't next to them? For example, communicating with you while in a party or any social event, etc. Not only that, but the stuff at Facebook, Twitter, and so forth is not as private as you think it is. Even if you close your Facebook account, the account stays there, although not open to for all to view. The "right people" can always look at what you post online, regardless if it's you page at Facebook or not, just like at your e-mail mail. Nothing you post online is really private. It may be "private" compared to this forum, but just like in this forum the right person can develop, different kinds of profiles on anyone of us.
During the summer around 12-14 university students work for meat work, and they tell me or show me what's is going on in Facebook.

I don't know what you mean. Are you saying you accept your coworkers friends as friends?
if your not posting anything bad, why care who reads it? You can always set your FB so only certain people can see certain things.
I'm with those who say it's a plus if the guy I'm dating doesn't have a Facebook account. I have no interest in Facebook.

I don't think you understand the site at all, from what you have said. You are going by what college kids say? Right. And you think that describes the rest of us and how we use it??
I find it so funny how people who don't have Facebook are so anti-facebook without even trying it. And when they did try it and found it to be so completely awful, I have to wonder what their friends are like...my friends make me laugh at their jokes and witty comments, invite me to go out to parties, and share pictures of their families. Many of them I wouldn't be able to talk to because they aren't all local.
Don't you think that's more fun to do such things face to face, or invite someone on simple phone call?

I said before that I have a Facebook page. Some of the students are Facebook friends too, but regardless Facebook is not private as you think it is, and it will never be face-to-face human interaction, but a different reality. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/1...d-bad-and-ugly

Why can't you do both? It's not all or nothing. Can't you like watching t.v. and still find time to read a book?
You could be talking to someone face to face now, but your on here typing to strangers. At least the people he or she's talking to on FB they actually know.
I don't facebook or twitter. I'm comfortable enough with my own skin that I don't need to broadcast every interesting or not interesting thing I do.
