Woged2005: It can only give you a clue of her state of mind but not her true character. State of mind as in: You can deduce her value system from posts she shows interest in, whether she's materialistic by her likes & links she follows, her quality education through her command of English/written communication skills in her comments/posts, nature of her job through her colleagues who mention their work in their posts, family background by following friends in her list who are listed as her family members. Most of what you will know about her will be through friends in her list not directly from her. Many people post fake or air-brushed pics, and fill up post with bible quotations to form righteous but in real life they are full-time 'runs girls'. However, 'runs girls' will have other 'naughty girls' in their friend's list (birds of the same feather). So pay close attention to her friends' posts and pics.

No serious person marries on social media. You can only meet people there, then take it outside and date in person for at least 6 months - 1yr before even talking about marriage. Only a fool will fall in love with a shadow & propose to a computer program. Social media is only a computer program projecting a shadow of images and character!

Tallotti: Sometimes yes. . . . Sometimes no!
People with hidden agendas can be very deceptive.

Like those who come online to PHOCK or MARRY!!!!

tpia@:
yes.

but only if you know what to look for.

ifyalways: Hehehehe

Wait until you meet and interact with them offline . . .your inner and outer eyes go open and shine pass police own.

ileobatojo:

Exactly what I was going to say. Those with ulterior motives like hooking up are probably more likely to be fake.

If anyone has anything to hide, what better avenue to do so than an online relationship. If you end up with a good and compatible person, it's mostly luck as far as I'm concerned.

smurfy:

I'm surprised you're not in support of your female kind.

Chillisauce:
Is the topic only meant for the female kind

smurfy:

Er, not really. I truly don't know if ladies check men out that much on social media.

I do know however that men don't tend to make things up like their female counterparts.

Chillisauce:

You think so?
So who are those yahoo yahoo people on Facebook with female pictures.
Even on nairaland here.

Methinks yahoo boys are in it for the money. Others are in it for the fun of it - gf and stuff - but nothing really serious.

Chillisauce:

You think it's not serious? When they claim to own MMIA only to scam their so called potential brides off their money then disappear.

faakay: No.

You can never ever determine ones true character via social media especially facebook except you meet them in person.

Chillisauce: That's how they stole a girls picture in nairaland, sending Pm to supposed guys to add her.
They added thinking they were chatting up the, hot babe. Not knowing it's their fellow guy.

Girl found out and reported to admin.
Everyone should be careful Sha.

kulyie:


and how did you know all this

teeo:

How about the girls that act like boys, toast girls and even send recharge cards to the girls.
Nairaland is polluted I swear.

What if both of you are separated by great distance? Won't you then make use of what's available?
