Why do people display their ENTIRE relationship on social networks?
I mean, we get it. On Facebook, they give you the option to display your relationship status - single, in a relationship, in an open relationship, in a complicated relationship, blah blah blah. Some of you just can't resist trying to define, and publicize who you're sleeping with. Why? If you just leave it blank, does it take away from you being in a relationship in the first place? No.
Social sites are to relationships what rain is to a fresh perm - NO GOOD (this was for our female readers, but if you are a man with a perm then that's cool. There are too many activists out there so we'll leave u alone). To the men, social sites are like Katt Stacks...they will f*ck your life up. Your relationship is PERSONAL, so keep it PERSONAL.I mean, we get it.

This is not to say that you should hide your relationship. You should be proud of the person you're with, and what you share with them. However, there is a difference between discretion and secrets. You can acknowledge your significant other without overexposing them. Once you put your relationship into the atmosphere, it's open for scrutiny and criticism. Remember, not everyone is happy for you. Do you know how many people are on that FACEBOOK? Not to mention twitter, myspace, sconex, black planet, migente which are all better known as #reasonswhyrelationshipsdontlast! 70% of these people couldn't care any less about your romance. 20% are envious (in some way, shape, or form) of what you have with your partner, 8% are utterly disgusted with you and your beau, and only 2% are actually happy for you. SEND THAT MEAGER 2% A DAMN TEXT! We (the writers) are part of the 70% that wants that trash off our mini-feed and/or timeline.
Now we know that there are some readers who are asking, "where did they get their numbers from yada yada yada." Shut up, IT'S A BLOG! It's written from the point of view of two bachelors. We aren't citing sources. We are the source (but we digress).
You heard the quote, "Rome wasn't built in a day?" Then you must have heard this one...
What we're trying to say is this: do not expect to put your business out there without anybody having an opinion about it. Do not get angry when the entire world feels like they have the right to comment on your life. You gave it to them.
"IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME."

And to be honest, WE DO NOT CARE, well WE don't but some do!
The status box doesn't mean "input the status of your relationship here...if you miss him put it here...was the sex good? put it here"
We don't want to read:
1:15 pm I AM DONE WITH HIM AND ALL YOU MEN.
1:30 pm TOGETHER FOREVER... 143
every 34 hours...
By all means, enjoy your relationship; but, keep it personal. If for no other reason, do it because when shit gets real rough between you two, it's only you two that can get through it.
IF YOU KNEW BETTER, YOU WOULD DO BETTER. DON'T WEAR UGGZ IN SHOE WEATHER.
