to think lovey dovey facebook postings look silly

[RitaLynn]

Ok, so I've got a facebook friend who is forever posting status updates (I love my fiance, I've the best fiance in the world, etc) and it's a bit sickly but fair enough.

What gets my goat is postings on their wall (I love you, I love you too).

I think it's daft. Tell each other, but facebook is a weird place to post it. It makes them look insecure

AIBU?

Yack, hate it! Facebook love messages by anyone over the age of 16 is just plain wrong and embarrassing. Grow the eff up.

I also hate ones who post every detail about the meal they've just cooked from scratch.. One day I'm going to say do you think I really care whether your having 'snips or roasties and whilst we're at it you can shove your herby dumplings up your ass.

Yanbu.

WTH does "peng" mean?

I hate this too.

There seems to be deluge of 30 odd year old women clamouring to post
'i luv u bbe' which I think means - I love you baby, like some illiterate 12 year old, on my feed. I usually hide them.

Even worse I find is families who I know are up to their tits with involvement with social services, police, posting - 'my lil man is my world' 'luv u Thomas jay' etc.

peng=sexy. hth

Oh god, this drives me mad too.

I have one friend who is always putting status updates about how much she loves her husband.

Yet I know that she's been shagging an ex work colleague of mine for the 3 last years (she's only been married for 5 years).

I too have had to hide my 13 & 14 year old cousins for the same reasons as people above.

And anyone who abbreviates 'little' to 'lil' on FB should be shot.

Valentines day was insane. I almost hid everyone. All "Happy Valentines, I love you" when they were sitting next to each other!

and dont get me started on the girl who gave hourly updates as to where her and her boyfriend were in London (with him liking each one) when they'd only been burgled a month previous.

and writing "thanks for the lovely meal babe" - say it in the same fecking room, not on their wall!

(can you tell I've been single for 2 years?!!)

I like it actually... My BIL wrote the other day to his girlfriend..

"I love you lots like jelly tots."

It made me smile!

Plus if you have a smartphone (iPhone etc) it's free to go on fb so much cheaper than texting and just sweet to think of your bf or gf during the day and write to them..

Hang on... DH never does it to me!!! Haha...

Some of these have really made me laugh

"Grow the eff up.

I also hate ones who post every detail about the meal they've just cooked from scratch.. One day I'm going to say do you think I really care whether your having 'snips or roasties and whilst we're at it you can shove your herby dumplings up your ass." PMSL!!!

and

"i luv u bbe' which I think means - I love you baby, like some illiterate 12 year old" PMSL also.

You're all just jealous! Lol

(I threw the lol in just to stir it up!)

;)

"My brother and his GF do this but to be fair, he is in the Army and away all week."

I still don't get why it has to be in the public domain. There are other, more private ways of keeping in touch - text, email, Skype etc. Why use Facebook?

You are so not being unreasonable I absolutely HATE this. Declarations of love/affection should be between two people, why the hell do people need the rest of the world to know? I have a friend who does this all the time and I have to physically force my hand away from writing something rude on her FB page. It is definitely a sign of insecurity.

Oh yeah and my BIL's dog Tyreese has his own FB page. I regularly get messages from him....

I have a facebook friend who posts lovey dovey stuff to her DH calling him Mugwump. I bet he just loves that being out there

God no, YANBU. It's sickmaking.

"I've got the best boyfriend in the world! Mwah! Love you my baby! xxxxxxxxxxxx"

"No, I've got the best girlfriend in the world! Love you more sweetheart, with all my heart! Mwah Mwah! XXXXXXXXXXXXX"

Just pathetic.

Why is it pathetic?

Because you could do it in private. It's like full on snogging in the middle of a restaurant, or something.

It's not like snogging in a restaurant...

If you don't like it, you can hide peoples statuses or remove them as friends. It's quite sweet to write that you love someone, it's a nice surprise to find it there, a bit like leaving a card somewhere you know they'll find it and it will make them happy for a second.

Hardly 'pathetic' though really...

I'm going to do it to to my DH in a minute, so when I'm out with our DD tomorrow, and he's at his desk, at some point he will log on and get a nice message from me.

I don't see peoples problem to be honest, aside from being single and finding it a bit of a dig.

It is pathetic, anythingwithagiraffeonit, because such proclamations are so clearly for the benefit of everyone else reading, rather than the couple themselves. It's far too attention seeking and try-hard for my liking.

Oh, the odd "I love you" can, as you say, be a nice surprise.

But when someone's ENTIRE wall consists of "I love you baybee..no I love you morrrreeeeee... no I love YOU more...", and a NORMAL wall post becomes the exception, then it's just stupid.

I disagree...

My BIL for instance is hardly ever on fb, and is really not the kind who has heaps of friends on there, he writes it for his girlfriend and her alone.

And even if it is for the benefit of others, where's the harm really?can't you just be happy for them?

I agree though, when everything they write is about it, it's a but much!

X posts.

i've got 300 friends on FB and NONE of them have ever done this!
