The Boy Who Quit...Or Just Never Joined

Did you know that the vast majority (I tried to find the number exactly, but it was nowhere to be found) of Americans do not follow directions? Therefore, I was forced to put the directions up here (and in caps, brutal, I know):  PLEASE CLICK TO THE 6:24 MARK 


My friend Lindsay was watching Oprah and noticed that the girl who wanted to be set up wanted to find a man that doesn't have a Facebook page (if you followed the directions and started at the 6:24 mark, you would notice that, too).  Let's just put this out there right away, the girl in the video is a little bit nuts.  Her list of qualities in an ideal man is actually insane and I didn't even know people thought about those things! But what is it that she finds appealing about a man that isn't on Facebook?

Lindsay and I debated this for a little while and we came up with quite a few things.  First off, a man without a Facebook page is definitely a rarity, and I'd even go as far as saying that they are old-fashioned, which is a good thing.  They aren't trolling for girls on the internet, and they are not just taking the easy way out and talking to girls through Facebook, they actually have to pick up the phone and make a phone call (can you imagine??).  They aren't so vain that they have to post millions of pictures of themselves as advertisements.  Best of all, they don't have tons of pictures with their ex-girlfriends.  No having to question if she was pretty, or if she was fun, or if they loved each other etc.  Most importantly, any guy without a Facebook page exudes a sort of confidence from their nonconformist attitude.  I dig it.

My point is, finding a man without a Facebook page is like finding a $10 in your pocket.  It might seem like a really small thing, but you're still really excited when you find it!
