It's still a 21st. It basically changes nothing in your life and when you're a particular age, you could quite conceivably be invited to 15-20 in a year. I can't remember anyone nominating their 21st birthday as the best day of their life, off the top of my head.

As I was saying, anyone can be your friend on Facebook. If you have an issue with your friends on Facebook, that's your problem. Just don't expect the same response from a group of people with different levels of friendship.

So your qualification for someone to be your friend on Facebook is 'anyone'? If they send you a request, they're in? Because that's my question.
 
Jesus, I think most people who saw the post would 'like' the post anyway without having to click on the like button. Sometimes you just see shit and keep scrolling.

Out of interest, did you delete every single Facebook friend who didn't like the post?

Facebook likes are probably the least valuable form of communication out there, probably a touch more valuable than Bigfooty likes.

The difference between liking something on Facebook and not liking something on Facebook is very small.

Aaaaaaaaand the self-worth of most BF users dropped 40%. 70% for those of us without FB.
 
I have my 50th birthday coming up later this month. My family is organising a function for me but they wanted me to invite who I want through Facebook. So I created an event and invited around 40 friends for whom it is geographically possible to attend. Only about 15 have replied that they will be there, about 5 have said maybe. A couple have said they can't make it. So about 18 have not replied to the invite at all.

That's fine if they're not coming. My family is only budgeting for about 30 people. There's already ten of my family. So I only wanted about half my friends to reply in the affirmative. But the people who haven't replied at all I don't get. Why do you want to be friends on Facebook if you can't even acknowledge an invitation. Fine if you can't make it. Just say so but to just ignore it I find kinda rude.

No I'm not complaining. I just found it surprising. Like I said, I think that's a pretty decent test of whether it's worth being friends on Facebook with someone, whether they can be bothered liking one of the 2-5 truly momentous occasions that most of us will have in our lives.

I wouldn't have thought that spending $160 per head equates to taking a second to click on a button. There isn't a budget on likes, as far as I'm aware.

In a roundabout way, I guess I'm saying that my friends is probably twice as big as it needs to be, minimum, and I was always of the opinion that the number of friends I had was on the conservative side.

This annoys me as well. As well as those that reply going, but don’t actually show up.

I’ve found it better to directly message someone the invite. Therefore they must reply.

Honestly, not complaining here, just sharing a story. My wedding was three weeks ago and when I posted the obligatory 'hey, we got married' message with three accompanying photos, it just cracked 100 likes (well under a quarter of my friends, even including the likes from friends of my wife whom I'm not friends with).

So my question is: why are you friends with me (or perhaps vice versa) if you can't be arsed liking a wedding post? OK a few aren't regulars on Facebook and may not have seen it, but I consider it to be a rule: you're obliged to like a friend's engagement/wedding/preggers/baby post, no questions asked. If you can't, delete them.

Uggh. You sound like the type of person who thinks because you invited someone to your wedding and paid for their dinner and a few drinks that they should be indebted to you for the rest of their life.

How old are you by the way?
 
Honestly? You are reading too much into it. They may not have seen the post, they may not really care, they may be overwhelmed with stuff in their own life.

Facebook is just entertainment, nothing else.

You think your wedding is so important? I personally don't, many people get married every weekend, you're not doing a revolutionary task that no one has ever achieved before. Most likely you'll be divorced in 3 years too, congratulations on that achievement in advance.

Thanks, mate, appreciate it. Maybe you'll find someone one day too.

Oh, I'll be OK. It was just an observation. Thanks for the concern.

You're incredibly defensive for people not agreeing with you. Surely you didn't expect people to be on your side of the fence?

I don't know. I guess I'm just pointing out that this is the Big Footy general discussion board, not 4 Corners. A place where we have ongoing chats about awkward flirting stories and hot chicks on TV commercials. A place where you'd probably find a 10 page thread about whether you should rinse your plates before putting them in the dishwasher, or how annoying it is when people at work get in the lift to go down one floor, when they should just take the stairs. A place where most threads could pass for episode ideas for a modern day Seinfeld.

If I was as cut up about it as people seem to think, I'd probably choose a different platform to express that.

I don't like wedding posts because 100 other people have liked it, they won't even notice if I do or don't

I'm a bit like this, will most likely 'like' something if it has under 30 likes but over 100 likes i usually don't bother.

And i've stopped giving out birthday greetings on peoples walls, Interesting scenario when some people give anyone a birthday greeting and yet you never get one from them.

Really makes you think what they have against you :cool:

You should of sent the invite as a group private message.

That way you can see who has seen the invite and who hasn't.
