Today, on facebook, I realized I had over 500 friends. I told my one friend and she changed her status to "How can Dan have over 500 facebook friends? Nobody even likes him" there were 42 likes, and twenty comments that said "agreed." FML

(0)you must be the person who just adds everyone that it says "could" know you. YDI for realizing your just a loser.
(0)YDI for having a Facebook. Facebook is for kiddies who make themselves feel better by adding fake friends.

(+2)THIS !
Usually the more friends one has on Facebook, the less they have in REAL life...

(0)True that.
Theres this one girl in my grade who likes to make up totally unbelivable lies and whines a lot about her "problems", and she has about 900 facebook friends. But that was last time I checked. It's probably over 1,000 by now.
(0)Not really...usually the people with the most friends are the most popular because they know the most people. 800+ is usually the popular kids then then the 600+ is more of the decently popular kids and 200-599 is normal. People with less usually don't care or are just nerds/geeks whatever you want to call them, but usually they don't make facebooks anyway so its just people that don't care.
It makes no sense to say people with a lot of facebook friends have less than you in real life because if people didn't know them why would they add a stranger? Facebook is for keeping in touch with a lot of people. If you just had just your 10 best friends added then your feed would be almost empty and it would be pointless to go on, whereas if you have a lot of people added although you may not be close to them they come in handy for homework or quick questions or if you just want to get to know them better.

(0)"If people didn't know them, why would they add a stranger?"
Clearly you've never been to YouTube, MySpace, deviantART, etc. People add strangers all the time for a multitude of reasons, like to make little deals where they add each other to make it seem like they have more friends.
Typically, the people with the most amount on these kinds of websites rarely talk to or actually know all those people. Maybe about twenty of them. All those people also rarely truly respond to anything they say... The number is basically just a show. For example, I watch about 200 people on dA, and about 100 watch me, but how many of them reply to journals or images I post? About ten. See, the numbers mean nothing.
(And by they don't actually know, I mean they added them just because they're a friend of a friend of a friend, someone they saw on a site they go to, an old classmate or old teacher they don't really talk to, a distant cousin, etc... people they technically know but don't /really/ know.)

(0)Actually that stopped being true a few months ago, when hundreds of games were added to facebook that required you to have friends who also played to fully advance. Many of these same games are hotsellers in stores - the only difference being you don't need friends to play when you buy them off the shelf.
(0)... Then you can just add more people who play so you both can advance. How does that suddenly disprove the "adding strangers" theory? In fact I think it'd make people more likely to, because of what I just said.
Unless you were talking to someone else, then excuse me.
#101 - On 10/02/2009 at 7:51pm by DameGreyWulf
(0)65-umm if they have less theyre either nerds/geeks, dont care or are new to facebook
#115 - On 07/26/2010 at 1:38pm by PurpleLlamas
(+1)Oh no, not Facebook!
If you let Facebook judge your life, you should let a shotgun decide your future.
#3 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:21am by DrConstantine
(0)Except with relationships. We all know that a real relationships isn't official until its on Facebook ;)

I LOVE CHOCOLATE BARSSSSSSSSSSS

(0)You told her you had 500 facebook friends? Lame. "Hey, guess what? I have 500 facebook friends! Yay!"
Don't just add anyone and everyone...
#5 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:22am by lifeislife
(0)Ahh but were they mutual friends or just your friend's friends? Either way I guess it sucks that people don't like you but hey! You can't please everyone!
(0)Wow, what a bitch. Facebook friends = not the same as real life friends.
#7 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:24am by mikeyforge
(+1)pretty sure most people were just agreeing for shits and giggles. That's definitely not a fml moment.
#8 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:27am by Banannikka
(+1)Obviously, this one "friend" of yours is not a friend at all. I'd remove her from my facebook friends list, and from my life.
#9 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:28am by computerpete
(0)facebook is lame!..makes people dumb!.. especially for this case where you make your friends a statistics... just sayinnn... i have one too but i will never think along these lines..you cant use facebook to show who you are fully..to do that you need a real interaction with the person!.period.
#11 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:31am by opendaz
(0)Looks like you're down to 437.
(Apologies, fmljw, I posted and then read your comment. Didn't mean to copy.)
(0)yea it's not the same as real friends. most of the time people that get added don't know who's the adder is so they just accept anyway. just search a random name and add them 9/10 times people will accept.
(0)thats why i only add my FRIENDS. Not friends of friends. or friends of friends of friends. Or MUTUAL friends. or people that vagualy recall me being in their maths class at high school.
it so true tho. Fbook can be a life-fucker if u let it.,
#21 - On 10/01/2009 at 11:13am by youaresofucked
(-1)Nobody likes you because all you do is sit on facebook everyday and without it you don't have an identity. Your just another faceless moron in a sea of sheeple.
Get a life then people might actually like you... Though it's not hopeful.
YDI byatch!!!!!
(0)That was weak. You know nothing about him, why talk like you know every detail of his life... Hating on random people on FML is lamer than Facebook. So you lose! :P
(0)You're probably one of those stupid people who adds people you don't even know just to be able to say that you have five hundred friends. I just don't get people like that. I'm happy only having 50 or so friends, because I know and, for the most part, like each and every one of them.
#25 - On 10/01/2009 at 11:30am by doubleAbattery
If we could all speak of ourselves in the third person without the risk of looking foolish, we wouldn't need websites like facebook.
#27 - On 10/01/2009 at 11:44am by cadre
(0)Awww.... well that's only 62 people MAX. Out of 500 that's not bad at all.
#29 - On 10/01/2009 at 11:51am by Kankanmaim
(0)well .. u should post .. well atleast I have more friends then you
#31 - On 10/01/2009 at 12:01pm by xyourstruly3
(0)I'm gonna go out on a limb and say online harassment does matter and it does hurt, even if people didn't intend to hurt anyone. We should think about how our online play hurts others. And gone are the days when it could be assumed that all online activity can be written off as play; that line is long since blurred, and we can't let cyber anonymity give us free license to act as if there aren't human beings on the other end.
#33 - On 10/01/2009 at 12:04pm by BeeSkwaird
So what do you suggest? Internet police to protect from Internet "bullies"? Let the imposition of needless restrictions begin!
#61 - On 10/01/2009 at 4:31pm by cadre
(0)Maybe Bee expects people to not be assholes for the sake of being assholes...?
I'm not gonna say it is realistic to expect that, but being a jerk still isn't right.
#62 - On 10/01/2009 at 4:42pm by Intoxicunt
(0)Well BeeSkwaird, Dan could always report cyber bullying. There's no need to go so extreme.
#94 - On 10/02/2009 at 2:33am by heartlessagony
(0)Ouch that blows :/
I totally agree with BeeSkwaird .
#36 - On 10/01/2009 at 12:11pm by feed_the_ducks
(0)Why would you tell your friend to do that? You don't have to brag about Internet friends
#38 - On 10/01/2009 at 12:20pm by USMC_Marine
(0)that reminds me of the 30 Rock when Ken says "Mr. Jordan, we're best friends right?" "We're not best friends, we just happen to know each other"
(0)That would suck if it was true.
If nobody likes you how can you tell your "friend"
#40 - On 10/01/2009 at 12:33pm by Sportsfan86
(0)lmfao i think you need to take a good hard look @ yourself
#41 - On 10/01/2009 at 12:52pm by Satans_Taint
(0)How can you add that many people? I have like, 70, and most of them I don't speak to on a regular basis. At least I know each and every one of them well.
(+1)And there's no chance at all that they could be joking? :/
#47 - On 10/01/2009 at 2:24pm by clockworklolita
(0)lol she was just kidding!
i say shit like that to my friends all the time and they say it to me XD "no one loves you" "you have no friends"
just be like
"thanks" and keep moving XD
#53 - On 10/01/2009 at 3:52pm by black_barbie10
(0)What a hater your "friend" was. I'll be your facebook friend look up my username minus 9. There are only 2 of us!
(0)YDI for having 500 Facebook "friends." And for taking Facebook so seriously.
#64 - On 10/01/2009 at 5:06pm by deaditegirl
(+1)I don't know why there are all these people that are saying that people with 500 Facebook friends must just have that many because they're desperate and add people that they don't know... some people (like myself) went to a big high school, participated in a lot of extracirriculars, had siblings, and then went to college That makes it quite easy to make 500 friends.
True, I have some friends that I don't actually know and am too nice to reject their friend requests in case it's my fault for not remembering them, but that probably amounts to less than 40 or so of them. But, when you, for instance, spend 4 years in a 300-member marching band, you meet and become friends with a lot of people.
And to the original FML poster, if they actually didn't like you, they wouldn't be doing that, unless you know the most confrontational and blunt people on the planet.
(0)This is horrible. If that many people agree/like it then obviously they know WHO DAN IS, hey when people know who you are talking about by only giving a first name then you should be happy. I'm sure if someone put that about me on Facebook people would comment "Derek who?" or "You mean Derek Jones??".

You probably make mentally retarded kids feel amazing about themselves...
#75 - On 10/01/2009 at 7:20pm by Gut
(0)Obviously you have some problem that makes you a jerk. Or all of your friends have a deficiency that makes them as dumb as retarded turtles
#79 - On 10/01/2009 at 8:47pm by chaychaychay
(0)I had 400 and I'm well-liked but I'm not actually friends with the majority of them. Huh.
#81 - On 10/01/2009 at 8:57pm by triplethreat13
(0)it's so appropriate that it says "share on facebook" below
#84 - On 10/01/2009 at 10:07pm by skeleton_607
(0)I have 750 "friends" on facebook, yet 500 of them were only added for a couple of apps that I use.....
(0)YDI for being dumb enough to post anything to anyone on facebook and expect something bad not to happen.
(+1)They just want to be added to your Mafia Wars mafia..
#91 - On 10/01/2009 at 11:52pm by guyfromcanada
(0)500 "facebook friends"
umm do you even talk to half of them?
if not, dont call them your "friend"
(0)I laughed.
I have to agree with most people here. "Facebook friends" is not the same as "friends".
Well it's either that or a lot of people are just kidding. Don't take it personally.
#93 - On 10/02/2009 at 2:28am by heartlessagony
(0)I would say it is personal. How can he not take it personal? xD
#105 - On 10/03/2009 at 6:46am by lovinmylife
(0)Well, its reached the point now where whenever I hear the word 'facebook' it causes an involuntary angry twitch
(0)This is why I don't facebook, people act like complete douches on it :S
#106 - On 10/03/2009 at 4:16pm by SecsNoises
(0)#107, you're dyslexic. It was 42, not 24. Just saying.
Dan, sounds like you're a bit of an asshole! Might want to do a little thinking there...
(0)Come on, no one's serious. Hopefully, people are smart and sensitive enough to realize that you'll be able to read that, so unless they aren't, they can't mean it. If you are that much of a jackass, then so be it, but judging by the way people responded, they're joking. BTW, 500 facebook friends indicates a possible psychopathic need to be popular, so maybe you are a jackass. Well, I don't know you, so I can't judge I guess.
