This guy sounds like a nerd, as Paul Graham describes nerds: oblivious to the social strategies that normal people use to become popular. Nearly everything posted on Myspace is meaningless fluff. You'll notice that most conversations at bars are meaningless fluff. It's just a way to plug in socially. Most important is displaying how many friends you have, both at singles bars and on Myspace. The more friends you have, the more popular you are, and therefore the more people want to be friends with you. A T-shirt that came out a few years ago: "Tom is my only friend." This is a way of saying "loser" in the mindset of the socially savvy.
