@freemo @likho I understand what you are saying and based on that I think that the survey cannot be used to support neither of our points as there is no way of verifying the participant's claims. I also don't think that perceiving something as harassment automatically means you are going to care about it more.

@likho
Teens or women?
Instagram is majority female. Facebook is about equal. Twitter is majority male.

@freemo
That's an interesting way to frame this and you are probably right, however I don't necessarily think that such behavior is just a mask as masks are quite difficult to maintain and get even harder when under pressure thus such a behavior would be contraproductive.

@likho
But that's competition. When it comes to social media, it's women, especially teen girls who are most negatively affected by social media.
@freemo

@freemo Maybe studying a large sample of people would prove me wrong, but from my personal observations I think that men don't care that much about validation from men, but care quite a lot about validation from women while women care about validation from everyone.

@freemo I don't mean just from men, that part makes sense. What I don't understand is that they desire validation from other women yet at the same time are competing with them for mates.

What's the evolutionary advantage of women desperately needing social validation?

@shebang
Same. I don't think I would be able to make anything better :lul:

@shebang It has a very highschool IT class website vibe. Amazing domain though.
