Ummmm.... MySpace has reached a new low....
:yoiks: I just got a message from a guy who says he's 17 years old in his profile and asked if I like to party. :P Ummm....thanks, dude, but I'm getting ready to turn 44 next week. I'm not exactly into robbing the cradle, and....er...I'm also MARRIED. I even say that in my profile. I'm not gonna respond to this one.

Hmmm... maybe this is another "To Catch A Female Predator" thing... :yoiks: :rofl:

5. With me, it is... but it's not exactly the dominant genre at the moment...
:P Anything that's considered Retro now is right out.... :rofl:

8. This is why I do not have a "My Space" page
I find no purpose to it unless I'm thinking of turning into a child predator - which definately not something I would ever do

13. not quite true
granted, there are many many young people on it, and a lot of people apparently use it to 'hook up', but there are many people on it who are well out of their teen years and not trying to become predators. I use it to look up old friends (especially ones in other states that I have not seen in years), share things with friends, make new friends, and promote my music. My band has actually gotten quite a few folks we don't know turn up for shows that said they heard us on myspace and came to check it out, something that seldom/never happened back in the days of hanging fliers on kiosks.

We're not all predators despite what 20/20 or 60 minutes or whatever says.

14. Oh, there are LOTS more older MySpace users than younger ones now...
:hi: Almost all my MySpace Friends are DUers, and I believe most if not all all of them are legal adults.

23. Lots of artists and musicians and definitely not just for kids.
That's a misperception for people who aren't on MySpace.

I've re-connected with several old friends.

It's cool, but not for everyone.

15. I guess in a way it is.... but I don't find 17-year-olds attractive.
:shrug: Oh, well, I guess I should be flattered. :)

18. If I were single and he were 34, he'd be a legal adult.
:P :hi: I might respond to his message if that were really the case.

27. I did, I kept getting friend add requests
from people with no pic and then they'd be gone before I could even look at their page to see who they were, SPAM

myspace is plagued by spam.

I got a message the other day from what i thought was someone on my friends list and it was kind of strange, some goofy d00d singing and it said this is your cousin so and so.

I messaged them back and said ha ha very funny and they messaged me back that it was a virus. Now maybe they just said that so they could send me shit like that, but I think they were telling the truth because their profile has been hacked before

sometimes i log on to myspace and it will say that someone has been trying for 15 min to log on and it stopped letting them try.

I think they recommend you change your password too often.

:hi:

:hug:

39. Well, NWC, drop-dead gorgeous sexiness knows no age limitations.
If you've got it, a seven-year-old can tell.

I should know; I used to be seven. :P

36. I was messaged by a 17 year old girl.
So I spam-alerted. I figured it was a porn lure.
