Am I socially 'out of the loop' since I don't have a myspace/facebook?

[TheTourist]

My friends tell me that it's a necessity to have a myspace and/or facebook, but I've never really felt the need to make an account. Am I socially dumb/retarded/out of the loop?

Out of the loop of computer nerds, yes.

I can't stand myspace. I don't think I've ever seen a myspace page without an absurdly awful page layout.

+1 I am yet to open either one of those sites. That would take away from my 2+2 and internet poker time.

I don't have either, a chick friend made a Facebook account for me last year but I never activated it. Looking back on that it was probably a stupid idea but I'm a retard so whatever...

anytime i've ever opened a link to a myspace page i have to deal with some idiots gay music, 17 neon colors flashing across the screen and all sorts of scrolling messages and retarded [censored], it's just too much...not to mention the pedophile factor on myspace.

i keep seeing people say this. maybe it's a reflection of the friends you keep or the types/ages of people you're searching for? lots of the random girls that message me have horribly obnoxious profiles but anyone i'm friends with in real life has a pretty tame profile.

how old are you? all my friends are doing that stuff, but I dont, and im not socially out of the loop. Im 24, I can see how an 18 year old would differ though.

I'm 18, freshmen in college...guess that makes me a loser.

being socially out of the loop doesn't make you a loser. Hell, a lot of times Ill TRY to be out of the loop if Im wanting to get away from going out etc all the time.
