Interesting Comment on Facebook

I used to do that when I was diving regularly. Makes getting a wet suit off much more comfortable.

I think the "are you going to shave your legs" comment is to "get one's goat" by suggesting that you are wearing a woman's skirt, therefore "are you also going to shave your legs like a woman?" This doesn't endear me to the person asking this "question" and I really don't like the intimation.
Although I know that swimmers and body-builders shave their whole bodies

I hate facebook with a passion but when intended like the above the good point of facebook is: it's absolutely positively easy to DELETE anyone from your 'friends' list, thereafter not to be bothered by them anymore.

(I work as a mobile phone mechanic and sometimes people may have as many as 2500 facebook 'friends' on their phone, of which they actually know perhaps 50 people. The rest is implied status but actually quite pathetic imho)

Yes, Facebook is a wonderful place to tell six hundred fake friends that you just ate a sandwich.

Oh I thought that was what Twitter's raison d'etre.

In my experience, the less some people have to actually tell, the more they use social media to vent the emptiness of their lives. A literal translation of something we say here is "every time he farts it ends up on twitter".

A fun thing about facebook is, a friend of us is (was) on my wifes facebook. She kept talking to my wife about the wedding, asking advice, telling her it would be fun to speak to us in person again.. Then, next thing my wife reads on facebook the girl is already married, it was fun, EVERYONE she likes was there.. Talk about giving someone the boot. Needless to say she was deleted from facebook and our phones..
