Bitches be crazy, this is pretty universally understood, but social networking has taken this to a whole new level with the Relationship Status. While Myspace had the opportunity to list your status, it didn't set-up for the anxiety of waiting for someone to approve or deny your request. Of announcing to your friends and family that you were seeing this one person. Forget whether or not you two have spent a sizable amount of time together, have met each others family, or have tagged photos with you both making that horrible smoochy-face. Prepare for the moment of building pressure where you wait for someone to "Accept you're in a relationship with:"
That's where the anxiety and pressure begins in a relationship: Am I ready to accept I'm only seeing this one person? Am I ready to send him/her this request and have them shoot me down? Here's a fucking idea, WHO GIVES A SHIT. Someone is spending their free time on you. Someone is (possibly) spending their money on you. Someone makes you laugh. Someone is hopefully at least decent in bed to keep you coming back for more. Why are you putting all this pressure on yourself and this status imposed by the fucking geeks behind Facebook who probably couldn't get a woman to suck their dick if they didn't have so much money? Does a Facebook relationship status change the person you're dating? No, it changes the way you THINK they feel about you. It creates doubts, suspicion, fears, and finger pointing. And I like to keep fingers exactly where they belong; inside of me.
That's the problem with making so much of our lives on the internet. We're so obsessed with Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and being "plugged in" that we let it dictate our relationships and happiness. Who the FUCK cares if so-and-so unadded you from Facebook? You probably barely remember them from High School or that drunken hook up anyway. Yet because we're so "plugged-in" and obsessed with social networking we find ourselves feeling unworthy by someone simply fucking removing us from a generic list of assholes they're "friends" with online. Is your relationship any less valid because it isn't Facebook Official? If it is then you're an asshole who doesn't deserve whatever fuck wit is giving you a portion of their time. Actions make a relationship a relationship, not left-clicking the approve button on an imposed idea of what makes your feelings valid.
Why not take all the energy you're spending bitching and obsessing over Facebook and put that toward fucking? In my experience it has never mattered how batshit insane I am, if the sex is good the man is happy to openly label me as anything I damn well please. Less bitching on Facebook and more fucking, ladies.
