I had a laugh about that, too.
shareEvery college student in the world seemed to be on it so she had to have an account too. She probably resented doing that because it was Mark's big invention. She also probably resented the fact that she could have been the girl with the rich boyfriend but he had insulted her too publicly.
share"Good luck with your new video game."
If the girl can say that, creating a fb account kind of makes her a loser.

Yeah I highly doubt that is what she said to him. Sorkin liberty taken there, unless somehow he talked with someone from that restaurant.. Even then take their word with a grain of salt.
And that was the first months of facebook anyway. She seems like an artsy kind of person not really into technology. I wonder if she was a feminist. All those friends at the table seemed like White Knights..
He's still the loser because he cant get her out of mind.
shareEven if she did say it...Facebook at the time was nothing...small potatoes. It barely existed in 1 small corner of the world.
shareWe can understand enough about her film character, and if that's who we're addressing here, she didn't care about statuses or money. In fact, she is insulted at the idea of Mark introducing her to fancy people she wouldn't normally get the chance to meet.
Now..if this character really exists...it's hard to imagine that she doesn't secretly hate herself for not ending up with the richest billionaire in the world.
Hi, I'm a majority of young gold digging women living in the US. Have we met??
Seriously, this is the persona of TONS of women. If a man is incredibly wealthy, he can be a million other terrible things, and women still want to be his wife. Security is everything

THIS.
I know so many women who has this as their main criteria to date a guy. A financially comfortable guy will generally have it easier with women. Even if he isn't a Brad Pitt looming guy. This is life.
Now, a billionaire... Not even a doupt, a girl will handle ALL his shit and stay with him.
Well, she thought he was making a video game, so...
Do I have to give it to you?
Maybe she is one of the few people in the movie who has a moral center ... can't say the same for the majority of the students featured in the movie, certainly not the frat boys ...
shareThat's the point of the whole movie. Mark couldn't have her in the real world so he created a network on the internet where he "could be with her".

Of course, there's always the possibility that she didn't realize that Mark was behind Facebook at all. I know it's unlikely but she went to a different college, didn't seem to be into computers and who knows, maybe forgot about him after a while?
It's not that likely but even well-educated people have blind spots in what they know about. Maybe tech was it for her.
Definitely possible at that point in the storyline. But later when she still had a facebook account when he was a multi-millionaire getting sued by Eduardo and the Winklevoss twins? No way she didn't have people ALL the time talking about "hey didn't you date Mark back in college?!" and reminding her for years after.
shareWell she was a made up character, so....
shareThis is what I was thinking too. She thought Mark was making a video game or something, plus everyone else she knew had a Facebook account, so she made her own, without knowing her ex-boyfriend was the CEO.
shareYup LOLZ indeed
But by that point, Facebook was such a phenomenon that even Erica would have joined.
Not doing so would be like not owning a smart phone today.
That’s why it was valuable enough for the Winklevosses to sue over, despite their case being borderline frivolous
I saw this as a big F you to Mark. She wanted to show that she didn't care, and it didn't matter to her if he's the CEO of Facebook. She used the platform without caring about who invented it. Her deliberate disregard for him is a more profound snub than merely abstaining from creating an account.
