Fun with online forum topic and comments


Its fun sometimes to read a hot topic on online forums like slashdot where comments are more funnt than subject matter itself. Here is one topic I stumbled upon Women More Likely To Unfriend Than Men by Hugh Pickens. It basically concludes that females are more likely to delete existing friend from social media like facebook and males are more likely to regret sharing any post. These two conclusion had their own observation by community and thus followed a long chain of comments. Each comment has its own implication. I just tried to go through it and list some of the important ones. None of the comments are mine. I have just copied them as it is.

Women are more likely to friend people they'll end up unfriending later.
corollary: ...women are less selective, and they add people without thinking about it, and then remove them later when it proves to be a bad idea.... 

Facebook is a technology now? That is kind of like calling Slashdot a "technology."
More like "Women less regretful than men, more likely to blame others."
corollary: Socially women are seen as victims if people misuse or ogle their pictures, where as men are seen as "fair game"

unfriending I see as akin to what I watched a group of girls do in high school. There was about a dozen of them but only 11 could be friends at a time, there was always one girl kicked out of the circle, when she came back they chose another one to be mad at and kicked her out of the circle.

women are more selective than men regarding who to include in their social circle. I could've predicted this from real-world interactions. Women tend to form close-knit cliques. Men will hang with anyone who will get shitfaced drunk with them and commiserate about their problems with women, work, money, etc.

Female's all over the animal kingdom use social exclusion instead of violence in order to punish other females. Exclusion is the primary competitive strategy for all sorts of female animals. Look it up on Wikipedia. Or google it. Its a widely known fact among researchers in the social science. That's how teenage girls bully each other.

Poor grammar and spelling is less objectionable than nasty language. Malice is worse than incompetence.

Women will unfriend someone for wearing the wrong shoes with a skirt, I think men have known this for years.
corollary: ...I've always wondered why so few men wear skirts. Now I know.

What about divorce? Sources say [divorce-la...source.com] that women are initiating divorce in 66% [yahoo.com] of cases.

women come into relationships hoping to change the partner more often (and I believe men come into relationship hoping that the women don't change over time), and both get screwed.

Hope you liked them. There are many more comments. I just caught few of them. You may get more. Just visit the page.
