How Women Really Feel About Their Facebook Friends
In the age of gossip girls and blogging, social media has provided society with a new level of annoyance. The survey 'How Women Really Feel About Their Facebook Friends' reiterates that by showing just how most females feel about their friends.
The numbers should not be too surprising to most, since most Facebook users have their own pet peeves about people who are constantly whining about their lives. The survey also asked the women to identify what archetypes their friends would fall under such as the 'Liker,' the 'Frenemy,' the 'Stalker,' the 'Drama Queen' and my personal favourite, the 'Airbrusher.'
These categories just prove that in regards to appearances, whether they are on Facebook or face to face, perception can truly be everything.
