I'm "popular" in the strip club world

Sometimes on Facebook I'll see these people with like 5,000 Facebook friends, and I only have a little over 1,000 friends. I think to myself, I'm popular too, whenever I go to a strip club all the girls come over to talk to me. The girls make it seem we're good buddies! The only thing that's required out of me is money!
What if the strip club world was the real world? Then I would be really popular on Facebook lol.

It's becoming two different worlds. The life you have on social media, and your real life. It seems the more extravagant someone's social media life is, the more shitty their real life is.
One of my main reasons on still having a Facebook account is to see the daily train wrecks unfold before me, as a form of entertainment.
Live your real life, be dead in your social media one.
I don't even have a FB account.
I have 3 Props on Tuscl. Maybe that counts for something? ;) Haha.
I'm just talking about society. The society that makes the Kardashians revelant. The society that makes Justin Bieber relevant.

First, the strip club is a predator-prey model. Tempess666's quote is "dancers like customers the way my boas like the mice I feed them." I'm preaching to the choir since you already get that; it's your money that's popular it's not Larry who's popular. Second, social media popularity becomes a perversion for people when their sole purpose becomes competing for followers rather than staying connected with their followers. Third, at what point does social media become (IMO) too much: "when you break out of character for recognition and not for growth."
When you are talking about Kardashians and Beiber that is popularity from notoriety rather than fame. They are famous from being recognized (on TV or media) not through accomplishments. This is not an achievement to be recognized.
One reason we envy celebrities is because we are bombarded with media images of how the rich and famous spend their money, and they have a lot of influence because of a flashy lifestyle that includes Rolls-Royce cars, mansions and closets the size of most apartments"
If you start acquiring the accouterments of celebrities, you'll cause relationships in your life to shift. "The envy you feel for celebrities -- now others will have that envy for you, and that doesn't do much for authentic relationships."
I guess in a way Larry, your thesis *was* correct. You are popular (money envy) with dancers the way celebrities are popular (lifestyle envy) with society. :)
Social media is so linked to the whole millenial mindset. It's just tough to tell which causes the other.
So I made my fb a place for my true friends that I know off and on line
So my number is at 13 lol
