I mean... (not verified) says:

What the hell is this article about? Why people still haven't joined "faceplant"? The cultural anthropologist (which, btw, is the coolest sounding job EVER) nailed it, when he talked about being "counter culture". NOT facebooking has become counter culture. This, I'm guessing, is what people are suppose to do in their teens/20's (being counter culture), but they give up on that (according to the cultural anthropologist) when they start freaking out about "breeding", conform, and trade in their counter culture for a spot on facebook with the rest of the kids. SO TRUE! I know a ton of people who would never have joined, but their friend were all getting married, and they freaked that they'd be single forever. A year in singleville, and they all facebooked to "get out there". These are people who swore they'd NEVER do it, but turned 29 and lost their coolness to go for breeding/nesting. p.s. I'm becoming a cultural anthropologist. How do I do that?
