Facebook “Frenemy”?
‘Friends’ Or ‘Frenemy’?
According to a new survey by Eversave.com, there’s a fine line between friend and “frenemy” on Facebook. The survey reveals that while 79% of women use Facebook to keep their friends informed about what they’re up to, and 64% share interesting and/or funny links and videos, they have little tolerance for friends who use the site to brag or over-share. In fact, 85% have been annoyed by their online friends. Here’s some things you should stay away from to keep from making frenemies:
- Complaining all the time (63%)
- Sharing unsolicited political views (42%)
- Bragging about seemingly perfect lives (32%)
Despite the occasional annoyances, 91% of women appreciate Facebook for allowing them to see friends’ photos and videos, while 76% like it for helping them to search for long lost friends. But women may want to think twice before accepting a friend request. When asked if they were friends with any of these online personalities, nearly half or more said yes to the following:
- The documentarian who updates their status with every move (65%)
- The drama queen where everything’s a crisis (61%)
- The proud mama who thinks Junior’s every move is a headline (57%)
- The incessant liker; they “like” every post (46%)
- The poser, the one who projects an image of life so perfect it’s unbelievable (40%)
