People can perceive things based on their own experience. It is really hard to predict what they want or mean sometimes.

Men often don't discuss verbally "feelings"... and are uncomfortable with that mode. But if you look at ACTIONS/behaviors often the answers are expressed that way.

In this case this guy is expressing something to you, regarding FB membership. This is his way of dealing with this issue. It is obviously not YOUR way, and so you don't understand it.

I think FB is highly overrated. It might be handy for businesses, and groups...and I do have some faves in that category. But I don't myself feel comfortable having alot people on our friends list and reading what coffee they are having this morning, or every detail of their lives. We have a few close friends and that is it. Once the list gets long it becomes a chore to read it all IMO. On the other hand some people LOVE FB... and they have high social needs and FB provides that connection.

I think we all have to accept that these differences exist, and not let them emotionally have negative impacts on our daily lives.
