Men love to swear on Facebook

June 4, 2016 14:31

On Facebook, men like to swear and rarely mention their wives. On the contrary, wives often mention their husbands.

As the world’s largest social media platform, Facebook is revealing more and more about us. A new study by the University of Melbourne, Australia, on the difference in word usage between the sexes on Facebook, titled “Women are warmer but just as assertive as men,” found that women use the word “husband” more often, while men rarely use the word “wife.” This may be because men prefer to refer to their wives by name, or want to do something more practical than mentioning their wives’ names online.

The study concluded: Female users’ language is warmer, friendlier, and more person-focused, while male users’ language is more aloof, distant, and goal-focused. Men swear a lot on Facebook. In addition to swearing, words like “fight,” “sport,” “bet,” “win,” and “government” are also frequently used. What’s more surprising, according to the researchers, is that women are just as assertive as men.

The study looked at the behavior of 68,228 Facebook users. They deployed language analysis tools to see what was being said. It seems that how we think reflects how we express ourselves on social media. However, it is important to remember that Facebook is just an open forum, many people tend to act the way they want their friends to see them, not the way they themselves are./.
