I'm an active person looking for nothing more than simple ways of enjoying my life. I do not believe in following the routine procedure of waking up, work/study, eat and sleep. I try to live the life which is hidden somewhere between these words. Currently working hard on my new project Plugins WP which is a hub of WP Plugins! I try to use a part of my brain and write on my blog called "My Blog Is My Money" where I give tips on How To Make Money Blogging. And yes, don't forget to visit my Themes Wordpress - My hub of Wordpress Themes!

facebook

From http://www.searchenginejournal.com

According to these stats, every month about 481,650,000 females make the most possible use of Facebook. When I compare my Facebook profile to any lady’s profile, all I have on my face is a dropped jaw!

Using my two eyeballs, I observed that most of the women/girls who know Facebook more than their neighbors normally concentrate on 3 things -

1) Wall-to-Wall

Knowing that it looks ‘cool’, I still don’t understand why girls are crazy to chat via writing on each other’s wall! This is more stupid when both of the users are online and can see each other on the ‘Online Friends’ list! I personally find this trend to be stupid because I would not like my conversation to be seen by any third person! Sometimes, the wall-to-wall conversations often start minutes after one has dropped the other at her home!

2) Changing their Under Garments!

I’m sorry if I exaggerated this! But relax! I’m talking about the profile picture! Every new day, you see a different picture

on a girl’s profile! I mean, give me a break! I didn’t even officially like yesterday’s pic (if it deserved one)! I still wonder why girls change their profile pictures (edited with several image effects) regularly, just like their under garments? But it doesn’t really matter because at the end of the day, they’ve got enough official likes to prove that the picture was, in fact, good! (here, I’m Jealous)

3) Over-caring, in a ‘smiley’ way

Has there been a comment (one which shows appreciation) where a girl hasn’t replied with those meaningless smileys and expressions? I’m often rewarded with “Aww …Thank you so much <3 ..really glad you loved it! xoxo!” for a comment like “Thumbs up”. After seeing that, I normally have a (*-*) expression!

I, however, don’t mind this online attitude of girls because when they’re in front of me, I see the real ones and that’s what I like about them!

To all the ladies out there – Be yourself!

PS In most parts of the article, I referred to teen or young girls because married women aren’t really seen on Facebook because they’re busy improving their husbands!

    I hardly use FB for writing on my wall, the last time I wrote anything was about 6 months ago. I do use FB to see friends photos and to keep in touch using the messaging facility. I do know a lot of girls who use it like you say though.

      I suppose, one person’s observations aren’t the norm for all – that’s the reason for an infographic.
      Lots of people use Facebook for dating, another section use it for family and then there’s sharing of photos and posts.

      Main thing is that Facebook’s aim in all this is to increase the time that everyone spends ON Facebook. That’s how they make money – through Ads.

      For me, I use it for funny stuff and connecting with family and friends. And since my day job revolves around Facebook, I also use it for work related stuff.

      That said, there’s an awful lot of mindless rubbish on Facebook.

    Had a giggle on your observations, Raaj.

    We must mix in completely different circles, I think.

    The majority of females I see on Facebook are more interested in chatting/messaging family, finding out what friends are up to and ‘Liking’ pictures of Inspirational Quotes.

    Though, I must keep an eye on them changing clothes, from now on :)

    Hello Raaj

    Awesome article. There are many things a girl can do without doing all these stupidity. Now-a days facebook wall has become a new chatbox for the new genx kids. I have seen many girls posting messages like ” Awwww!! cho chweet” on the wall. Well you are right, when both of you are online, you can easily use your chatbox instead of posting them on wall and showing extra care.

    thanx

    I agree with you. Some girls wants to write in somebody’s wall and let the public see all their conversation. I think its the way of their gossiping and getting someone’s attention.

    Thank for your very nice post. I wish some of the girls will be enlightened.

      Good point Joseph. Actually, that is how I observed many girls using Facebook. They would want others to see their conversation. Maybe this is the counterpart of boys boasting on what they have? I don’t know.

      Regarding the everyday (sometimes twice or more a day) changing of default photos, that is sooo true. Again, many are just fond of themselves. However, I see this action with my guy friends too. They have changed their profile photos at least once a week while mine’s maintenance is once a year.

      And for the third point, smileys and emoticons. Well, this is understandable but to some extent only. Some do exaggerations and that’s when it becomes an eye sore.

      Raaj, you forgot another. Girls love to tag every person they know in a picture. They enjoy losing time over tagging faces. By the way, thank you for this blog. It made me excited for a counter part for this blog: top 3 things MEN do on facebook.

    Interesting, but not surprising. I think that women use Facebook more for their ego than actual connection as far as profile pictures and talking on other people’s walls. They want to ‘show off’ their looks, talents, insights – whatever…to old friends and new friends. It’s just a part of human nature really. (What picture looks the best and shows my best side?)

    But as far as being grateful and saying nice things to you – it’s just because it’s a different way of communication. Of course, they are not going to say – awww, that’s so sweet <3 in person. But online, in writing, it's a way to communicate how we feel without body language. I think it's a perfect example of being real – so…be grateful that they are grateful!

    I love when wall post communications have my name tagged in them so I get pulled into the middle of a public conversation. Sometimes I don’t even have to post my own status update after attending an even because several wall conversations will mention how the girl was there with me. lol

      That’s true! But what I’ve seen and observed is –
      A girl posts a status update saying “Had the greatest night of the week” (imagine :P ).

      After that, within minutes, she receives comments asking “What happened?” or “Where did you go?”.

      Then, she replies to each comment saying “I’ll inbox you”….!!

      God!! I mean, if she doesn’t want to share it with the public then why a status update regarding that? :D Girls I tell you man! :P

      Anyways, thanks for the comment! Cheers

    Girls don’t always use fb for all or any of the above reason.I have seen professional women selling brands through fb social networking and there are certain boutiques and salons run by girls,so every girl doesn’t sit for chatting or pics changing.There are the girls who are bringing an image of positive and healthy use of fb in the immature minds.

    I’m glad you qualified that by saying it’s mainly young girls. I never change my profile image and can’t see the point of changing it all the time. Ditto on wall to wall conversations or even using the messaging on facebook when you can easily email (and more privately as facebook stores all your messages to look for keywords)

    Well, I don’t know about that but it gave me a good chuckle!

    I see plenty of married women on facebook but you’re probably right that the ones that send status updates of their every move and mobile uploads of every meal they eat and every person they meet, the pigeons in the street, the flowers… do tend to be single females and not just teens. I have friends in their 30s 40s and 50s who change their photo most weeks.

    Shall we say, some women are just attention-seeker! I do agree that some women changed their profile picture, just to get affirmation from their friends. If many likes, women feel happy, if few likes or none at all, they feel bad and insecure (hehe)..So they change their profile pics always.

    So men please understand the women…
