An ex-girlfriend wasn't responding to my emails.
An American, about a 7.5, we dated for 6 months four years ago. I even trekked to the US to spend a summer with her. She was 17, I was 19. We ended OK. Why wasn't she responding? Confused, I checked her out on facebook. And there it was - 520 friends! A large proportion male. She was always social and flirty, but jesus.
I got her at the right time, like Agnostic says, she valued the attention more when her horizon was smaller.
Facebook has let her become a kind of queen bee - a pile of worker drones collect all the honey for her. Ridiculous.
Update - She responded. Oh well.

There was a discussion over at Roissy's a few weeks ago about how women seem to enjoy going back and forth over social messaging sites rather than via email. Not sure why this is the case, but it's true. Any prolonged exchange over email with a girl always stales out sooner or later, but they can go back and forth on Facebook and myspace until the cows come home.
Yeah that's true. We talked on AIM for a bit. AIM and ICQ are useful for meeting girls via social circle. My ex, for example, regularly talked to about 4 friends at a time on AIM, and I was introduced to them all.
women are passive "cheaters" through myspace, facebook etc. they secretly (sometimes openly) relish the scores of men adding them as friends, and reading about their inane updates and "personal" lives.....but a man who likes to go to a bar, and actually meet different women, talk to them in person, is somehow the rake?
generation of women that grew up on myspace, constantly inundated with male attention --> generation of women with acquired situational narcissism.
