"Men looking for love may want to try Ireland or China, where 73% and 72% of users are female, respectively."

Overall the site is 2/3 female. Quite interesting stats.

China it is.

The making-a-CD suggestion is a good one, or if there's a gig/ film you think she'd be into on this weekend, then ring her up and ask her does she want to come along. Ringing is definitely better than texting. Don't do any of the following:

a) leave it too long before you ask her out
b) jump on her bones too soon
c) leave it too long before you jump on her bones

Difficult call, I know, trying not to be too cool or too eager. If the worst comes to the worst, you misread the situation and she doesn't fancy you, at least you've gained another friend who likes the same stuff as you.

Does anyone know of any relationships that have been ended by someone changing their relationship status on Facebook to "single" before telling their partner?

Yep, it happened to my sister a few months ago. She had been seeing a guy that lived in england. She knew things were going bad for a while but when he changed his status to single then she knew they were over...

Man she's going to kill me for telling this to people

Yes. Happened to one of my best friends a few months ago. Her partner had been seeing someone else so changed his status to single, then he told her and then changed his status to 'in a relationship' with the other persons name!!

He is scum.

"The goodie two shoes, jocks, athletes, or other 'good' kids are now going to Facebook. These kids tend to come from families who emphasize education and going to college. They are part of what we'd call hegemonic society. They are primarily white, but not exclusively. They are in honors classes, looking forward to the prom, and live in a world dictated by after school activities.

"MySpace is still home for Latino/Hispanic teens, immigrant teens, 'burnouts,' 'alternative kids, 'art fags,' punks, emos, goths, gangstas, queer kids, and other kids who didn't play into the dominant high school popularity paradigm. These are kids whose parents didn't go to college, who are expected to get a job when they finish high school. These are the teens who plan to go into the military immediately after schools. Teens who are really into music or in a band are also on MySpace. MySpace has most of the kids who are socially ostracised at school because they are geeks, freaks, or queers."

now that the statistic that 73% of irish facebook users is female, you will now see a rush of disparate male users joining up because they find those numbers attractive

soon enough, it'll be 73% male users
