Post Content
This is common now with social media - anytime someone goes somewhere they want to post updates to their "followers" about exactly where they are and what they are doing. For example, sad to say I know this couple who will go to a spa together and while at the spa they will each separately post updates all about their spa experience on their twitter pages. Or when they go to a restaurant - instead of sitting there enjoying each others' company they are each on their mobile devices posting photos of the food, etc. They really want everyone to think they have this great relationship and do lots of stuff together but while they are doing it they don't even speak to each other, they are more concerned about posing to their "followers" and presenting an image of a happy couple rather than interacting with each other and actually being a happy couple. I should be shamed to say that we look at their twitter pages for comedy, to make fun of how fake they are.

see , this is a perfect example of what i mean.

that is a relationship that is in a constant downward spiral because of this stupid technology.

a couple cant even go out to eat a meal without posting every detail on the internet.. its a sad sad world we live in.

Me and my fiance are the exact opposite of this.. we will go get chinese food turn off all the lights and eat by candle light.. and there is never any social garbage to fuck that up.

and we do this all the time(not just chinese btw) and weve been together 4 years.

i must admit she does hassle me to get her a smart phone... but i will never do that and always talk her out of it with my logic.. but every now and then she trys it on me.

i refuse to let my future wife become one of these people.
