According to anecdotal research done by yours truly, using social networks to discuss the opposing gender, dating, relationships, flirting, sex, and everything in between is one of the top three uses of said social networks.  The other two uses are: complaining about social/political causes and looking up Alissa Jean.  The order of these top three depends on the average tap water temperature in the most recent glass of water the internet user drank.  [More research must be conducted before these results are declared conclusive.]

Exhibit A:  A recent discussion thread on Facebook.  Names and photos have been obscured to protect the innocent guilty

{in case you can’t read the full original status, it is:  “Hitting on a girl at the gym.  Creepy or normal?  Following a girl out of the gym and trying to talk to her. Creepier? Lol”
One could assume that this reflection took place after a missed opportunity at said gym.  However, I prefer to think that this gentlemen was posting to Facebook seeking serious advice WHILE AT THE GYM, in the potential “hitting on” situation itself.  Furthermore, I like to think that I gave him some *fabulous* advice and it worked out very well for him.  More research must be conducted before these results are declared conclusive.}

Always,  Alissa Jean
