微信日活用户早已突破十亿——记不住朋友的电话号码成了常态。
六七年来,更新社交网络的状态,被当作了个人形象的管理工具。有些人,朋友圈里岁月静好单身万岁,微博里却是另一番景象。
形象管理和社交焦虑的重压下,有人选择了出逃。
论坛征友——这种po出身高、年龄、照片、爱好、交友目的等等信息的原始活动——拥趸越来越多。
美国社交网站reddit上一个现场交友子话题有超过22万固定关注者。
这个写篇博文,然后等待网友私信自己的交友方式,有点类似于互联网时代的告示板征婚。
虽然绝大部分人不是为了征婚——找人说话解闷的最多,找人打游戏的也不少。
这种形式,贵在大家都很坦诚,我是什么人,我找什么人,清清楚楚,愿者来聊。
比方说,有这种话痨型,爱好说了半天,也不一定碰见同好。
28 [M4F] Hoping to connect with someone.
28岁【男找女】,望与有缘人一线牵
Hey there! My name is Justin, and I’m 28 from Texas. I figured I’d try posting again and see if I could connect with someone out there.
你好啊,我叫Justin,28岁,来自得克萨斯州。我觉得我还是发一遍吧,看看能不能找到有缘人。
I’m a big time sports fan. I grew up playing sports with my friends all afternoon into the night time. I played soccer, or football, depending on what part of the world you’re from, and it is my favorite out of the major sports, although American football is becoming a close second.
我超爱做运动。我就是跟朋友们踢球长大的,从中午踢到晚上,主要踢足球,至于叫soccer还是football得看你是哪儿来的。足球也是主要运动项目里我的最爱,不过最近来讲,美式橄榄球慢慢排到我的喜好榜上第二位了。
I love enjoying good movies that make you ponder about it well after you’ve finished it. I’ve definitely wikipedia’d every complex movie I’ve seen right after just to make sure I didn't miss anything lol.
我还喜欢看电影佳片,那种看完很久后也会思考的。每一部复杂的电影看完我都会去查百科,以免漏掉了什么东西。
I do game whenever I get the chance. I was all about Sony growing up and still show my PS4 love sometimes, but I’ve almost exclusively converted over to the PC master race. I built my own PC last year and I’m hooked! For as much as it cost, I better be!
只要有机会我也喜欢玩游戏。从小索尼大法好,现在有时候我还玩PS4,但绝大部分时候都还是个电脑党。去年我组了个主机,不能更爱!鉴于花了超级多钱,我的确该珍惜它!
Ok I’ve gotta save some for conversation so I’ll shut up now lol. I hope to hear from you! If not, I hope you have a good night!
好了,不说了,得为私聊省点话题哈哈哈。快来私信我吧!不想的话,那也祝你晚安。
也有这种有图为证的,说服力剧增。这样的自我介绍,读下去都有欲望些。
24 [F4M] Anywhere - HELLO. I am a normal human being (kind of)
24岁【女找男】,哪儿的都行 – 嗨!我就是个普通人(算是吧)
I have a job and try to travel the world a couple times a year. So ... kind of normal?
我有一份工作,但也想每年出国旅游几次。所以……我也算是普通人吧?
This me:
这是我:
I apologize for the dog filter in advance lol.
抱歉加了狗狗特效哈哈哈。
And hey, sometimes I go to ski and snowboard! I taught myself how to snowboard last year. I even went skiing when it was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. It was so cold that my phone would shut off. Look, my eyelashes froze:
以及,我有时候会去滑雪!去年我就自学了滑雪。有次华氏零下4度(零下20摄氏度)我还去滑雪了。那次真的冷到我手机都罢工了。你看,我睫毛都结冰了。
I have a camera and a few lenses that I use to take photos sometimes. I’m super proud of this one:
我有台相机,还有几个镜头,有时候会拿来拍照片。这张是我的得意之作:
I am looking to hear from National Geographic about my sponsorship to Alaska soon. (JK)
我还盼着《国家地理杂志》给我去阿拉斯加的路费赞助呢。(开玩笑)
I don’t have any pets currently, but if I did, it would be a Rhodesian ridgeback and a hedgehog. (I have had a dog and a hedgehog before!) I’m not a cat person but I still love pictures and gifs of them.
目前我没养宠物,但要是有机会,我想养罗德西亚脊背犬和刺猬。(以前我就养过狗和刺猬!)。我不想养猫,但是我还是很喜欢猫的图片和动图。
I’ve even taken care of a sugar glider before.
以前我还照顾过一只澳洲飞袋鼠呢。
Anyways, here’s a few FAQs that people seem to ask a lot:
行吧,这儿还有一些很多人常问的问题:
Hey. What’s up?
嗨,你好啊。
NOT MUCH.
我不好。
What are your hobbies?
你爱好些啥?
Other than the few I mentioned above, I’m usually browsing reddit or watching stuff on Netflix. On weekends I tend to relax and read or go out to get food and to the movies.
除了我刚刚提到的这些,我还逛reddit,刷网飞看剧。周末的时候我就休息休息,看看书,或者出门吃饭看电影。
Do you game?
你玩游戏吗?
Short answer is no. I very rarely play some overwatch or other random steam games, but it’s probably about 1-2 hours a month. So yeah. No.
简而言之,不玩。极少数情况下会玩守望先锋或者其他的Steam上面的游戏,但一个月估计就1-2小时。所以嗯,基本不玩。
Please include a sfw pic in your response :)
回复我的话请附带照片(办公室打开看也没问题的那种)。
也有这种谈吐间隐约透露着嘻哈气息的女孩子,凡事必须real.
19 Anywhere - Looking for something real (:
19岁,哪儿的都行 – 不想弄虚作假的
As the title says, I guess I'm looking for something real. I don't mind what it is, or what it turns into, but I guess I want to meet someone who I feel like I can be myself with. Someone I can share my dumb jokes with, talk about my ideas with, share my art, tell my terrible jokes, etc. Someone I'm not afraid to be myself around. I've spent too long pretending to be what other people wanted me to be, and trying to fit myself in a mold that I don't belong in. I want to be myself, finally, and I want to meet people where I can truly do that.
如题。我就想认真搞点事儿。无所谓干嘛,也不在乎结果。我觉着,我就想找个人,然后在TA面前我可以做自己,可以讲无聊的笑话,分享我的见解,我的艺术,尬开玩笑…… 就这人面前我不用害怕做自己。我已经受够了伪装,变成别人想要的样子,把自己嵌到那个不属于我的模板里面。我就是想做会儿自己,终究我还是想找到这个人,那样我就真的可以这样做。
I'm currently a student, and I work full time as well! I'm an artist, and I love to paint! I use acrylics mainly, but I'll venture into oils every now and then. I play a LOT of video games! RPGs, MMO's, anything really! I'm not at all picky.
目前我还是学生,我也有全职工作!我是个艺术工作者,我喜欢画画!主要还是用丙烯酸颜料画,有时候也会试试油彩。我玩过超多游戏!角色扮演类的,大型多人在线类的,好多!我真的不挑。
I've got a bunch of tattoos (I have pictures on my profile, beware, they are NSFW), and I plan on getting more! Just trying to figure out where I want to place things.
我还有蛮多纹身的(我主页有照片,不过注意啊,不适合上班的时候打开看),我还想再纹点儿!就想知道哪些地方我还想纹点东西。
If you're interested in chatting, or getting to know one another, feel free to send me a message! I'd love to meet you and see what happens! And if you've got any questions, feel free to ask!
如果你喜欢聊天儿,或者了解彼此,尽管私信我吧!我很乐意面基哦,看看有无缘分啊!你有任何问题都可以问我!
有没有单刀直入的呢?不绕弯子,就想找个人侃大山,就问你来不来吧。
24 Anywhere - Lonely night, anyone want to voice chat?
24岁,哪儿的都行 – 孤独的夜晚,谁来语音聊聊呀?
It's just one of those nights. Feeling alone and could use someone to talk to. I'm a bit of a nerd, and my life is (more than) a bit of a mess, but I'm not looking to vent to anyone. Just to talk. Or listen.
又是一个孤单的夜。好孤单,想找人聊天。本人有点木讷,生活也一团糟。但我不会跟人倒苦水的,就是聊聊而已,或者我当个倾听者。
Would prefer to use Discord, but I don't mind using something else that works better for you.
最好用Discord来聊,不过我也不介意用你喜欢的其他软件。
深夜找陌生人聊天,是最放松的吧。
说不定还能成就一段关系呢,管他是朋友还是恋人,反正你是空巢青年。
换作是你,会怎样在网络世界描述自己呢?留言告诉我们吧。
这里是中国日报双语新闻夜听双语,我是双语君。
晚安,好梦。
