Do Straight Guys Poke Each Other On Facebook?
2009 July 29
Is it weird for straight people to send each other FB pokes?
Adults don’t poke in real life (finger), it’s annoying.
And only guys send me pokes on Facebook.
And I never poke anyone, don’t think of it, I just poke back when I’m poked, and there is a part of me that’s slightly irritated when I see I have been poked.
It brings back those childish mixed emotions of being annoyed when the kid behind me in class pulled my pigtails, but flattered cause he noticed.

I get pokes from guys, girls, and cats. The cat poke, I think, is like a warning or something. And I think, for me, poking isn’t related to being straight or not.
I like poking too, though I also realize that poking someone on Facebook does, usually, feel like poking someone in person. You can’t do it to everyone, or else you get stabbed on the bus. Or pinned down & slapped upon.
Poke wars can get annoying if they become unnatural and too mechanical, like poking someone back as a reply & then simply poking back and forth. “Remove” button, right next to a poke, has been my yummier option lately.
Awesome question!
This is really clever and it certainly conjures up a lot of mixed feelings. I too only poke back…..I love the angels. Everyone can have those….
