How Women Really Feel About Their Facebook Friends [SURVEY]: “

When it comes to Facebook, we have friends, and we have ‘friends.’ A recent survey found that for many women on Facebook, their true feelings about many of their Facebook friends might be less than friendly.

Daily deals site Eversave talked to 400 women about their Facebook relationships. The company originally conducted the survey as market research on the social network’s influence on the daily deals ecosystem, but Eversave was surprised to uncover the love/hate relationship between women and their online friends.

For example, the majority of female respondents said they had at least one friend who was a ‘drama queen’ on Facebook. A majority also said they had at least one obnoxiously ‘proud mother’ as a Facebook friend.

Most women — 83% of respondents in this survey — are annoyed at one time or another by the posts from their Facebook connections. For these respondents, the most off-putting post was some kind of whine; a full 63% said complaining from Facebook friends was their number one pet peeve, with political chatter and bragging coming in a distant second and third.

The respondents also said at least one of their Facebook friends tended to:

• Share too many mundane updates too often (65%)
• ‘Like’ too many posts (46%)
• Inappropriately or too frequently use Facebook to promote causes (40%)
• Project false information or images of a perfect life (40%)

These kinds of Facebook archetypes have become part of the cultural lexicon. We recently covered an amusing music video about Facebook ‘types.’ But it’s fascinating to see these characteristics quantified by the women who get teed off by them.

Troubling Statistic of the Day: “

Troubling Statistic of the Day: 20% of all divorce cases in the US cite evidence found on Facebook as grounds for the dissolution of marriage. According to a recent survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, four out of five lawyers saw an increase over the past five years in the number of divorce cases which cited evidence found on social networking sites, with Facebook being the primary source by a significantly wide margin over MySpace and Twitter.

From The Guardian:

Those statistics included not just evidence of infidelity but other legal battles, such as child custody cases in which parents deny using illicit drugs but boast of smoking marijuana on their Facebook pages.

Photographs harvested from social networking sites – including those posted by friends or colleagues on their own pages – are a particularly rich source of damning evidence, according to divorce lawyers.

‘If you publicly post any contradictions to previously made statements and promises,’ says AAML president Marlene Eskind Moses, ‘an estranged spouse will certainly be one of the first people to notice and make use of that evidence.’

PROTIP: Don’t publicly post contradictions to previosly made statements and promises.
