Yesterday I did an experiment with a topic : Are you attracted to opposite sex?
In October 2020, one day I saw about 927 people clicking my Ad.
I was so enthusiastic that I have arrived.
I can not even believe today, how did it happen?
And then I gladly accepted the friend requests; whoever was from that list. Were they from my page or they clicked my landing page and came to my list; I do not remember now.
I was just too exalted.
I was learning Facebook Ad back then. And that was one of my early Ads. I don't think I had a great copy, but yes , I was targeting "Managers" and "upcoming team leads".
Hardly I realized that simply going for 'Manager' category may define store managers as well. So when I discussed with them, I got so many of them - cloth store managers, shoe store managers, tea-shop managers; Travel agency managers, Milk depo Managers..
Nothing wrong with those categories, I thought.
But then .. a female getting in touch with them was a first time for them in life. You can understand how the behavior in such a case.
I blocked all of them eventually. It was so unmanageable.
But I learnt the lessons over time, and I am careful about choosing my friends after deciding that boys less than 27 will be like that.
Now I opened my mind when I saw a genuine problem in not able to contain admiration to a sensible level. And it happens to both the sexes.
So I did a Facebook live yesterday; I had announced it before so that people could participate, but those who needed to be on the live, disappeared.
They must be feeling embarassed. My question is; why is the embarrrassment if you feel it to be a correct approach? Why should it be so private?
Here are my points
?? Attraction, Admiration are okay to feel
领英推荐
??We are attracted to more wholesome personalities and achievers
??We need to have some of their energies
??Getting associated is not wrong
Here is what I find objectionable
??Overwhelm of the personalities so much that learning is forgotten
??Give away the power, by feeling helpless to control emotions
?? Setting an unrealistic expectation which may lead to desperetion
?? Facebook is a field of hidden personalities, so you can go ahead with mischief
Of course you will advise me not to waste energy on these, and move on.
I do so.
But I have a MEaningful Mission of a calmer cooler and greener planet; towards which if we can loving amend a disturbing thought, then, it contributes the calmness of the planet.
With that objective, I did that live which I uploaded to my youtube as well. which is here : https://youtu.be/ETsDjmWB1bQ
