MySpace has a reputation for being a meat market for pedophiles and hot, horny teens and young adults….oh and a slow, crappy way to find and keep in touch with old friends.
I have bumped into two old friends on MySpace so I won’t pick on that too much.
The meat market reputation is one that MySpace constantly throws in our face. Every page has an image ad. It seems like 90% of those have some young woman either scantily dressed or dressed in clothes so tight you figure she must be naked and they just photoshopped something on her.
Then, we you try to browse to meet new people, the default settings are to search for women between 18 and 35 in the United States who have photos in their profile.
If MySpace really is all about meeting friends and not just about picking up chics, shouldn’t the default option at least be both men and women?

Yes, interesting thought here. I have never realized or given much thought to the fact that the default is set to women. This does tend to make MySpace look like a meat market. I tend to prefer Facebook myself, but like you, I find it a slow way to keep in touch with people.
I know exactly how you feel. Myspace is quite annoying. Great idea though. I used to have an account, but then thought why am i on here? I only spoke to one real friend on there and the other people were just random. They might not have been who they said they were abd this made me feel weary. i felt there was no point talking to strangers, especially i was never going to meet with any of them. It was a waste of my time.
