Some things I've learned:

* never look at the profile of someone you're interested in.

* never look at an ex's profile.

* I prefer my own profile page over the "Home" page.

If you absolutely have to look at the profile of someone you're interested in, get the information you need and get out. Don't look at any pictures whatever you do! The result will always be bad!

A helpful question to battle jealosy/envy when you do run across something unsavory:

"Why would these two people be talking on facebook? Why aren't they just talking on the phone or something? They must not really be that close, since they're talking on facebook after all..."

If you don't do all that, what do you do on facebook?
