When Good Girls Go Bad on Myspace

Many people share the opinion that some girls/women know how to manipulate men to get what they want. They have begun using social networking sites to do just that. They seek out men that they believe are gullible enough to give them whatever they ask for, or that are dating or involved with a girl/woman they actually know in which they are seeking some sort of revenge against. Flirting is however more commonly used do to low self esteem and women seeking self-gratification.

Some women feel the need to use social networking sites for no other purpose than to flirt. They log on, hunt down their "prey" and begin their journey through the land of manipulation and deceit. Now granted not all women do this, most are on here to socialize and gather with friends, or to promote themselves or their businesses. But, for those few who are this type can cause a lot of problems, not only for themselves, but for others.

Women with low self-esteem often use myspace and another social networking sites seeking self-gratification. On these sites they feel less vulnerable, and more free to be themselves, and also say things, and act ways they wouldn't normally around other people in a face to face situation. By using the networks they don't have to interact with people they actually know, so it becomes less embarrassing and they feel that men are more apt to be turned on to them. Being able to get responses easier by flirting online gives the woman a better feeling about herself without being shy or nervous that she is going to say or do something that will embarrass her or run the man she is after off. This higher self-esteem level she is getting from flirting with these men online gives her self-gratification she needs to feel more wanted, needed, and not just another boring face in the crowd.

These women also use their flirting as a way to seek revenge on someone. They will log in and begin sending their "preys" boyfriends or even husbands messages and comments, most of the time just an innocent "hi", "how was your day?" or "have a good day". Then the messages will start coming more often and becoming more seductive or manipulating. This can cause major problems for her opponent's relationship. Most of the time this revenge is done by women who used to be friends but are having a break in their friendship , and because they are hurting emotionally they feel the need to make the other friend hurt also. They know that this will cause their "prey" to start asking questions and accusing their partner of possible infidelities, which could in turn cause a fight between the couple, or even in some cases an end to their happy relationship.

Social networking sites are supposed to be used for contacting old friends and meeting new ones, and not meant for ruining other people's lives, but for some that's what happens when they don't want to confront someone about a problem, they use other means, myspace messaging and comments being one way. When using these sites you should always maintain a healthy agreement with your significant other about sharing friends of the opposite sex on them. You should also have an understanding that if there are problems between you and one of your friends that your partner be aware of the situation and that he not let her get to you through him.

Myspace can be a fun place to meet up and make new friends and plan get-togethers with those friends you know, but always remember that meeting someone on the internet and then in real life is never a safe practice, and you should never use it to seek revenge on anyone for any reason.
