I just hopped on Facebook to see what was going on. I see my dad has “friended” a new woman. Now, my dad doesn’t have many “friends” on FB - nearly all are family. So this is news. Out of curiosity I clicked her profile.
…
She’s a smoking hot blonde, personal trainer and massage therapist, a couple years younger than me. Most of her public pics are her posing or flexing in spandex.
:smack:
So I called him immediately, did some small chat about the re-fi I’m doing, then flat out asked him: “So who’s that hot young blonde you just friended on FB?” He was genuinely confused. He recognized her name, and was all “I just got a friend request from her and clicked it! She’s a client of mine (he’s a CPA), I figured I better not decline it or it’d seem rude!”
At this point I chuckled. He’s absolutely not the philandering type, and a woman like this would have no interest in my (great, but doofy) dad.
wicked grin
“Does mom know? She’ll be pissed. :D” He sputtered a bit, then just muttered “Oh jeez, just talk to your mother.” My mother was equally amused and annoyed.
“Oh, for God’s sake, he’s nearly 60. He has no business being on Facebook at all.”
I don’t even have two dozen Facebook friends, but they are all true friends that I have had good times with and want to keep in touch. When I see people with a couple hundred friends, I assume that they have different standards than I do, acquaintances, clients, distant relatives, friends of friends, etc. Nothing wrong with it, I just don’t know that many people I want to keep such close tabs on.
Well, my dad recognized and acknowledged her name, says she’s a client. and her FB profile puts her in my dad’s city. Her profile looks real. I’d say she’s real, just a hilariously incongruous FB “friend” to my older middle-aged dad.
Some of us old farts actually understand how social media works. :dubious:
None of my kids would dare to try and police my Facebook account. They know that I’m much more capable of crawling into the nooks and crannies of their internet activities than they are of mine.
Hmf! My immediate reaction would have been “Where do you get off policing my Facebook account, and how dare you try to tell me with whom I should and should not communicate?”
How nice to know that Big Mother is there to scold him for being a naughty boy too. :rolleyes:
I don’t get the big deal. Is she trying to scam him or something? Otherwise, it looks like he just friended a casual acquaintance on fb, something everyone with a facebook account does all the time.
I think the OP’s assumption was that his dad had friended a porn account, only to learn she’s actually real and knows his dad (and isn’t porn). Dunno why it was a big deal after that point, though.
Nothing wrong with friending a client though!
