Thanks to Facebook’s ‘Status Update’ feature, some users feel the need to tell their Facebook Friends what they’re doing on a minute-by-minute basis.
While a small percentage of people enjoy reading the sometimes lame status updates or comments of their Facebook Friends, the majority quietly laugh at the person for being so dramatic about their daily life.
Read the following ‘Status Update’ tips to ensure you don’t end up looking like a Floozer (Facebook Loser) in the eyes of your friends.
10. Copy the Girls
Have you ever seen Status Updates from girls that go something like this, “No! He didn’t just say that to me!” or “Why is life so hard?! I need a hug…”
It is fine for girls to behave like that, but it is not fine for men to do it. That is, unless you want to others to think you’re a sissy, wussy or pussy.
Naturally, women are more feminine and men are more masculine. One part of a woman being feminine is expressing herself in reaction to her ever-changing emotional state. This is why women make such dramatic, emotional posts so often. It is natural and normal for women to behave like that.
However, this sort of behavior is not seen as normal for men who are looking to attract women for sex or relationships, or be respected by other men.
As such, if you ‘act like a girl’ in this way, women will not feel attraction for you because they are naturally designed to be attracted to men. Yes, except for the lesbians.
9. Be Encouraged By Other Floozers
Just because one or two other Floozers respond to almost every one of your updates, it doesn’t mean anyone else is interested. You may think that having someone else comment (no matter who it is) makes you look cool. It doesn’t. People know a Floozer comment when they see one.
8. Don’t Say it in Person
Airing your dirty laundry in public has never been cool. Likewise, it’s not cool to use a Status Update to send personal attacks or apologies to someone. Say it in person, send a personal message or forget about it. It’s tacky and immature to do it in front of everyone on your Facebook Friend list.
7. Post Everyday
It doesn’t matter how interesting your Updates are – if you post too often it just makes you seem like a lonely loser with nothing better to do.
Resist the urge and if you absolutely must do something on Facebook, make a comment on another person’s Facebook stuff (i.e. a photo, video, comment) – they’ll appreciate it and most-likely return the favor every once in a while when you make an interesting update to your profile.
6. Quote Like Crazy
A recent trend is for Facebookers to quote lines from their favorite movie or song. The occasional funny quote can be a great way to add some much needed humor to the Live Feed, but being serious about your quotations is just corny and lame. Keep the serious, deep and meaningful stuff amongst your close friends in person or in personal messages.
5. Tarnish Your Work Reputation
The occasional, “Ugh – work!” might seem funny to you and a couple of like-minded friends, but if you have work colleagues (or worse – your boss) on your list of Facebook Friends, don’t expect them to see the humor in it.
4. Don’t Think
Before you click ‘Share’ and reveal your Status Update to your list of Facebook Friends, think about whether you’d honestly be interested in reading what you’re about to post if one of your friends did the same.
Would you really want to know that they’ve just had a glass of milk in the last couple of minutes and are settling down to watch an episode of CSI New York? If not, chances are that most people feel the same way. It’s up to you if you want to post uninteresting Status Updates, but doing it regularly is a sure way to look like a lonely loser.
3. Post When You’re Feeling Highly-Emotional (or Drunk)
The most regrettable things are done on Facebook when we are highly-emotional. If you’re angry about a certain situation, or madly in love and want to tell everyone about it – wait 24 hours. While it’s fine for women to air their emotions on a daily basis, you need to show control as a man. You’re not a woman, so don’t act like one.
2. Look for Pity
We all know a person who constantly posts the worries and woes about their personal life. They’re hoping to get a, “There, there…poor you” pat on the back from their friends and family. Don’t do it. You’re a man, not a boy, not a girl. Men don’t whine and complain about their problems in life – they deal with them logically and with minimal emotion.
1. Type ‘Lol’ all the time
An occasional ‘Lol’ (Laugh out loud) is fine, but including an lol in all of your comments, Status Updates and messages is one of the fastest ways to look like a girl. The funniest men are those who don’t need to laugh at their own jokes or comments. They have the balls to say what they want and then let the silence or the pause after the joke to be the funniest part.
In conclusion: If you’re a guy who simply must make Status Updates – pay attention to these tips to avoid coming across as a Floozer and ruining your chances with women you’re hoping to impress.

This is great – I am sharing this one on Facebook. Nothing funnier or more desperate than a person who likes their own status!
Awesome!! Some people on my facebook list need to read this article. I don’t know why they post the things that they do, it really does make them look stupid!
Cool post Dan! I think an exception for the quotes are the inspirational ones. Otherwise it is just childish behaviour from people who are trying to get a little bit of attention on FB.
Sweet Post!! Shared it on FB…lol
Hehehe..nice..ll improve on saying “lol” a bit lesser. LOL
people wnat to be cool not looser but some people trying to be loser and they dont have to use fb for this!!!!!
Funny!
This could be applied to everyone. Not just guys. Being feminine is not complaining about every emotion we have or fleeting thought. That kind if stuff is reserved for immature people. Those are the losers. 😉 im a woman and even though i have a facebook i dont post my life story on there. I barely even status update. So not all women are pity seeking/attention whores on facebook. Id be embarassed of myself if I was like that.
Hi Kira
True. However, this site is for guys! Lol…stop spying on us.
Cheers
Dan
