5 Reasons Social Media Can Be Like Lingerie

Let us count the ways:

1. It is revealing: Whatever you say or show in the social world is out there for all to see. You may feel partially covered (hidden) in Social Media, but just like wearing lingerie that is mostly illusion.

2. Its cut says something about you: Show too little or too much and the world will judge. In Social Media are you fully covered and yet very revealing? Or are you barely covered and still impossible to see through?

3. The way you use it speaks volumes: Do you only get into it (Social Media) once in a while? Does it sometimes make you feel uncomfortable? Perhaps more frequent use can overcome these issues.

4. You probably have a combination of pieces: Social Media offers multiple ways to have “fun” while getting into “trouble” Your challenge is to just “wear” what feels comfortable.

5. It can get you into real trouble: Use Social Media inappropriately and you will get in trouble.

And in a sense the best similarity is that in Social Media (as in lingerie) transparency is a very good thing.

  1. Great posting Mike! I really enjoyed the comparsion of Social Media and Lingerie. All of them were great points but I think #5 was the best one. If you use social media "inappropriately", it could really cause you some real issues down the road.

    Keep up the great work! DM

  2. Becoming environmentally friendly is not only just a development, it is often a smart determination that the two consumers along with businesses make use of. Ironically, a lot of the environmentally valuable solutions are economically valuable.
