I found this article about how to date on Facebook. What do you think of it?:
http://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice_600/640_facebook-dating.htmlThis comment by the author is harsh and is extreme. S/He may have been exaggerating the reaction for entertainment value. Comments like this may lead male readers to believe all women think like this, and may lead female readers to believe reacting to a man in this way (very degrading) is okay:
"Not only did he come across as immature, idiotic and almost brain-dead, but he also successfully turned me off."
The whole mindset of the article, and likely the website, stresses differences instead of finding commonalities between men and women. This separation opens the door to objectification by one gender of another. It promotes a rift between people as opposed to bringing people closer together, which should be the goal when attempting to facilitate one gender's understanding of another for the purpose of relationships.
There were some points I agreed with. Keeping the wall appropriate to the audience and not lying on the profile are probably the best takeaways.
