Facebook Drama is for Girls: Stop begging for attention
People use social media like they should use a private journal. Airing things out on the line that should never be expressed publicly. Men shouldn’t do this. Facebook Drama is for girls.
It’s okay to share about your life on facebook. That’s kind of the point – but watch your motivation. I see people all the time posting a list of reasons to feel sorry for them – or a list of all of the good things they do so that others can like them.
Sometimes – those motives are pretty obvious. Sometimes – you simply need to ask yourself a question or two before you post. Am I posting this for attention? Am I posting this so that someone will say something nice to me? Am I posting this because I want people to see how awesome I am?
It’s as simple as thinking before you hit submit.

Facebook Drama is for Girls: Stop arguing about stupid stuff
People use social media like they should use a private journal. Airing things out on the line that should never be expressed publicly. Men shouldn’t do this. Facebook Drama is for girls.
It’s easy to want to be right. Especially when someone is wrong on the internet.
There is nothing wrong with a good discussion – but sometimes it’s easy to get sucked in to arguments and “flame wars” about things that REALLY don’t matter. Does it REALLY matter that Joe Schmoe voted for Obama and still like him? Does it REALLY matter that someone wants $100 for a used cell phone that you think is only worth $50?
Stop arguing. It doesn’t build you up, them up – and it just wastes your time.

John F. Kennedy – #ManCrushMonday
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. ~ John F. Kennedy
Facebook Drama is for Girls: Stop complaining about your relationships
People use social media like they should use a private journal. Airing things out on the line that should never be expressed publicly. Men shouldn’t do this. Facebook Drama is for girls.
Whether it be your romantic relationships, friendships, or family relationships – griping about these online are not going to make the problems that you have better. It might make you feel better to vent – but it doesn’t make the situation better.
I have heard men gripe about their children on facebook – and I have to ask – what happens in ten years when that kid gets a facebook account, and looks back through his dad’s old posts? Ouch!
What about the damage that can be done by airing things that should be in private to the rest of the world?
Man up. Deal with your relationship issues privately and with the person that needs to hear it. Do you NEED to talk to someone else about the situation? If you do – do that privately and in real life as well.
