Women Prefer Facebook Over Bathroom Basics
A survey conducted by the Oxygen TV network presents some interesting facts regarding Facebook, Twitter, and women aged 18-34.
According to a survey conducted by the cable TV network Oxygen, 36-percent of its young female participants admitted to accessing their Facebook accounts in the morning immediately before brushing teeth or using the toilet. The survey--consisting of 1600 18-34-year-old social network users--also discovered that more than half (57-percent in fact) spent more time talking to people online than they did face-to-face.
That's not all the survey found. Apparently 37-percent of the participants have fallen asleep with their PDA in their hands, while 26-percent of the surveyed women also admitted to getting up in the middle of the night to read text messages. Other statistics revealed that 37-percent accidentally texted something embarrassing to the wrong person whereas 56-percent use texting as their main form of communication.
Surprisingly, 32-percent think that posting photos of themselves or others on Facebook using obscene gestures is appropriate--42-percent said that images of them visibly intoxicated was just as appropriate even though a whopping 63-percent actually use Facebook as a career networking tool. Over half of the women in the survey even admitted to keeping track of their "frenemies."
Twitter also saw heavy statistics in Oxygen's survey. 56-percent on the participants use Twitter as their main source of news and current events. 74-percent said it wasn't okay to start an argument on Twitter whereas 69-percent said that it's okay to load up the site with TV show spoilers.
Although Oxygen's survey actually grilled participants between 18 and 54, the final numbers focused on the 18 to 34 group. For the full list of results, head here.

Big surprise, women are crazy and annoying. We needed a survey for this?
I wonder when lifetime is going to do a "You raped my stolen baby" survey.
Sad what the meaning of "social" has turned into these days. But at the same time I'm not surprised by the results of the survey.
Survey: 90% of male tech users totally unsuprized that Oxygen users fall asleep with phones, take them with them in the bathroom and view text messaging and Oprah as the height of human accomplishment.
jeeeeze people live in a digital world these days.... its sad.... OH times up, back to WoW!
"Bathroom" is only mentioned in the title. How do you make the connection stated in the title without anything to prove it from within the article?
I have no facebook account.
Neither do I.
That's two of us left in the world ...
After browsing the rubbish on my wife's facebook account I think I have sucessfully dodged what has become some kind of monster threatening to takeover the minds of the masses.
Forget SkyNet ... we should be more worried about Facebook.
Just kidding ... like AOL it is a fad that will be just as wortheless in a few years time.
Ah women, I will never understand them

I Quote "36-percent of its young female participants admitted to accessing their Facebook accounts in the morning immediately before brushing teeth or using the toilet."
its too bad that politically correct adults have to take control of our lives by firing people and putting other people in the "dog house" for trying to stay connected with their friends and having fun posting their possibly obscene pictures on facebook. come on, lets live in a cubicle our whole lives shall we? pretty soon, the whole world will be required to know everything about someone 24/7, otherwise they will never get a job anywhere in life. Prison sentence would seem more logical for anyone posting a picture of themselves intoxicated on facebook. I guess we might as well get completely rid of social networking. its just another tool for co-workers to keep in check, and political bosses to create a tyranny.
shocking women are addicted to facebook... just like almost everyone else in North America.

That's a bit of a stretch. No one actually asked them that question.

Trudeau once said, "the state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation"
Time for, "Employers have no business in the bedrooms of the nation."
facebook is blocked on my PC... once my sister tryed to go on facebook but (host files FTW) it gave her a 404 i lol'd really hard
So what have we learned today?
People have problems, and will continue to have problems.
Facebook is the new porn, just another form of voyeurism.

I think is funny how all my friends have become so disconnected over the last couple of years from this kind of stuff. I game all the time but I remember when we used to hang out and actually talk the entire time. Cant do that cause they brought along ten other people their hanging out with in text message land. When will people realize that texting in the middle of a conversation or jumping on your facebook at a friends house is utterly and completely fucking lame and proves you suck at everything besides typing...whew but seriously WTF?
I find it funny that the girl in the photo is looking at the wrong side of her phone.
Soooooo about the "dumb fucks" thing....
My account's been turned off. Not sure if I'll reactivate it or not. I've kinda been talking to people MORE since I turned it off!
Keep connected my ass... how can you connect with people when you spend all day in front of a freaking screen! Wake up in the middle of the night to read text messages? I mean wtf!? Do you really care that much what people think about you that you need to have all those fake names and pictures in a webpage pretending to be your friends so you be in their own list? Ahah thats a sick symbiosis..
LoL I thought I had self confidence issues... now I feel like superman or something, I mean.. I have friends, girlfriend, my parents actually care about where I go, how I feel, damn I'm must be lucky!
GO OUT WITH FRIENDS YOU LAME FACEBOOK ADDICT! GET A LIFE!! NAH-AH! HAVING FAKE FRIENDS ISN'T NOT A LIFE YOU TWIT!
I don't think people who dictate how social networking, a tool, is to be properly used by others really have a grip on reality either. If people like using it, let them. By the way, commenting here is a form of social networking

Make that three! My friends are always trying to encourage me to waste my life on that garbage, im sorry i prefer good old fashioned phone calls or face to face meetings.
Put things into other tighter things to make them bigger.
Well I use Facebook to find chicks to have sex with, so it's not entirely useless...
These women drive me nuts.
....actually all women drive me nuts...
Am I the only one getting sick of all these stupid word combinations, like frenemies? Christs sake, I'm not even a native speaker and this sounds like shit. Why in the world do we have to adopt words probably sprouted by a drunken and recently dumped 30 year old chick and her pack of middle aged friends?
Doesn't surprise me one bit. The fact that a large majority of people are doing it tells us that they think its fine. People today are pretty crude, and there are so many kids having sex and smoking pot today that I fear for my daughter's future. The 70's weren't like this...not EVERYONE was trying out drugs. In fact, most people weren't.
So...100% of the women surveyed are idiots and addicted to all types and forms of texting? Men are just as bad and you know those folks that have their smart phone in their hand at all times of the day and look at it every 15 seconds to see if they have a new message? Wonder what they would do if you snatched it from their hand and stomped it.
I'd expect you to buy me a new one or I'd sue your ass! =)
Smartphones can be expensive these days m'kay?
I have no facebook account.
Ditto, well said.
