What's the Powder Room?
- Powder Room Tales...by Amber Black
- These are the deep and meaningful conversations every girl has with her best gal pals...about the guy who just winked at her across the bar, or the last man who broke her heart. These are the conversations we all love being part of and sharing over brunch or a good bottle of pinot or in the powder room of your favourite Saturday night venue...our Powder Room is located at the top of a lofty stair in Kehoe's Bar, Dublin. These conversations are real...names have been changed to protect privacy and avoid shameful blushes (",) I hope you enjoy!!!

Is Facebook detrimental to new relationships?!
Go on, admit it, you've checked out his profile with a fine toothcomb! You've looked at every photo and scrutinised the ones where he's wrapped around some babe. You've even looked at the profiles of all his female friends and wondered what the connection is...ex, bestie, or colleague...I can see the blushes from here! I mean, who could resist the temptation? So, does Facebook increase our vulnerability? Does it reduce our trust in our men? Want to hear your thoughts!

Yes, yes, yes! Facebook is leathal for new relationships! I nearly finished with a new boyfriend because I got so paranoid after seeing pics of him with his ex on his facebook page. Put it this way, you'd never dream about talking bout his ex or your own ex more than in passsing when you're actually with the new guy because it kinda feels like the ex is in the room with you then. Isn't it the same sort of thing looking at the photo's on facebook? makes it feel like the ex is more current, when they really are in the past.
ReplyDeleteFrom personal experience? don't facebook snoop....its misleading.
!! I agree - facebook snooping is not for the faint hearted!! but then again what about facebook dating?! and what about all those old friends you get back in touch with and suddenly are more interesting than when you last knew them? cupid and green eyed monster use the same forum :)
ReplyDeleteI agree as well, DON'T DO IT!!! Some stones are best left unturned, preferably with the "man" in question flattened underneath them:) It can cause crazy paranoia in new relationships, it's the same problem you get from internet dating, you're forming an image of somebody from online photos and comments, and there's no way of knowing what's true. And bear in mind he can control everything that you see on that FB page...you'll only see what he wants you to see, and you could be seeing some info, and the other 5 girls could be seeing other info, and who knows what's true?? There's nothing worse than checking out an exes profile either... you run the risk of finding out some very painful things, like the fact that he already has another girlfriend before you've even finished reading his "it's not you, it's me" text...or you read random postings that he made during the course of your relationship that indicate that he was lying to you about, well, everything!! There's a weird lack of accountability online...he'd probably never have the neck to rub these things in your face in person, but he doesn't give a damn about rubbing it in your face online!! I say forget it girls, the past is just that, and why bother keeping tabs on someone who couldn't be bothered with you??
