I work for a radio station and work in night clubs in Toronto, Canada and we have seen a drastic decrease in numbers of people attending all clubs in our market. Some people wonder where have the people gone…my theory is that sites like Facebook are creating the new “meet people” places. Guys don’t need clubs to meet girls like they used to…think about it…cover charge, cost of drinks, hassles at the bar by bouncers/staff/other clientele, getting home safely after drinking…it’s way easier to meet girls with a click of the mouse…and those girls connecting on the net seem to be more approachable than the ones in bars…
The times are a changing!

The answer to this mistery are just MEN: Many boys hungry for girls open “femenine” accounts in Facebox, Hi5, Tagged, etc., stealing pics from flickr, webshots, etc in order to appear atractive girls loking for another girls just for confident friendship and so on. Some are easy to discover because of the studio-photographs, or excesive “thruthfullness”. “Not boys allowed” when not necessarily self-defined as “lesbians”. this “technique” is particularly popular in latinamerican countries.

It’s a good data catch here. But i guess FaceBook ain’t just that popular in countries like India. Atleast not yet.
Majority of Indians get a hang of it a little late than others. But once they know about it….BOOM, the traffic and contents for that site multiplies ten folds. Orkut is one example which became popular among everyone in India since last couple of years only.
India’s 3,xxx,xxx members shall in no time becopme 3xx,xxx,xxx.

I would suspect spammers and automated profile creation scripts may have an influence on the guy to girl ratio.

In the “Israel” FB network numbers went up from about 5k (1.1% of the Jewish population) to 200k in just 2 months. This aggressive market introduction is in part due to the herd mentality of a more tightly-knit society than the rest of the western world.

This would explain Turkey ranking high - and if I’m right it means India will have its own “hockey stick” usage spike in the near future. I don’t know what penetration the Internet has there, but I suspect it will happen when FB usage is at 1% of that - or even less. I’ve sat in numerous Internet cafes in India, and saw that many Indians have hundreds (!) of IM contacts. I got the impression these talkative people are in touch with most of them…

Im not sure about the results of that. Its not going to be very exact. What is obvious here is that there is a good many women on facebook and other social oriented sites. Didn’t need a study to confirm this fact. Its not a stereotype, its just what all the women I know do on the internet.

Somebody commented that women may be more likely to specify gender. I got nothing to back it up, but personally I often resent seeing a radio field for gender on every form I fill out. A lot of times it doesn’t seem relevant. Maybe for market research, but maybe not to display if you’re talking about a business purpose.

@77Lab (#28) - yep, you gotta love statistics done in a few spare minutes

I didn’t actually realise that you could choose to be non-gender specific on FB! I’ve re-run the numbers choosing specifically male or female. There’s an updated chart at the link below. As I mention in the accompanying post .. I wonder whether non-specific genders also give an indication to inactivity?

Here’s the update:
