Women make up the majority of users on most social media sites, according to Information is Beautiful.
Here are some popular social networks with a majority of users being female:
Flickr and FriendFeed are 55 percent female.
Twitter and Facebook are both 57 percent female.
Ning is 59 percent female.
Myspace, Classmates.com, Buzznet, and Tagged are all 64 percent female.
Bebo is 68 percent.
YouTube, LinkedIn, Del.icio.us and deviantART have an equal ratio of males to female. Digg is the only major social network that is heavily skewed towards males, with 64 percent of users being male.
Come on, guys. Let’s step up our game and become a target-rich environment for advertisers who want us to buy their stuff. Otherwise, there will just be more of those commercials where the husband is a bumbling idiot and his wife shakes her head in disbelief. And chicks believe anything they see on TV, so your marriage will crumble based on Madison Avenue’s portrayal that she’d be better off turning lesbian. All because you spent your entire time online searching for bikini pictures of Jessica Biel…
Since you’re on this website reading this, I’m guessing you’re one of the 40 percent of guys who are using social media sites like these. Take heart: We may be in the minority on the web but that just means more chicks to flirt with (if you’re single, wink wink).
A study from researchers at Harvard Business School found that men have 15 percent more followers than women on Twitter. Men also have more reciprocated relationships, in which two users follow each other.
