Are you(Women) addicted to Facebook?  email this discussion to a friend?

Have you heard of a story about Facebook and a mother? The story focuses on a grown woman who turned down her daughter's request for homework help because Mommy Dearest was tied up with Facebook.

As a popular social networking website, Facebook is becoming more and more popular, but then, Facebook is to blame for "friendship addiction" now. Women are particularly vulnerable because their self-worth stems from relationships with others and Facebook compels them to "acquire" hundreds of friends.

So, are you addicted to Facebook? Have you spend lots of time keeping in touch with friends there.

FACEBOOK? I really so love it! Facebook does not just make you communicate with your friends, but the applications made it so popular and interesting.I was first addicted with Farmtown. I see to it that I am able to harvest my fruits and vegies on time to make sure that they don't come to waste. I'm currently at level 26. And now? I'm again addicted with Aquarium, Cafe world and restaurant city. Sometimes I even forgot to make my assignments just to make sure that my plants don't wilt!(",)

Hi..I am a woman and I was joined at facebook.But I think,addicted facebook is not related to woman or man.It depend on personal.I think,I'm not addicted.Facebook is just to refreshing after work daily.I open it to fill time (minute) when I'm wait for post discusion or response on mylot.

I think both women and men can be addicted to Facebook. I happen to be a woman and yes, I am addicted to Facebook - hee hee.

I am also a mom, but certainly I don't forget my duties as a mother (or wife!). I happen to be at home with my daughter, so I do have acccess to a computer when I need to. But my daughter always comes first. I am addicted - but please, I do have my priorities!

Some use Facebook to meet others, but I only use Facebook to connect with those I already know. Sure I've reached out to other people from the past, but still these are people I knew in real life. I don't particularly have time to speak on the phone, so it's a great way for me to keep in contact with friends - at my own leisure.

Like I said, it's not necessarily only women that are addicted. I have a few male friends who are on Facebook more than me or my girlfriends!

Yes, both men and women can be addicted to Facebook. But as far as I know, Women may be addicted to its webgames easily.

Hi Getbrowser,

I have a facebook account but i am not so attracted to it. i better spend my time with mylot than with facebook. When i started with facebook i was so excited then, i even change my shoutout once in a while the most that i did was evryday for one week but after a month or two i am no longer excited to work on it. now, i seldom check my FB account. My brother even asked me to check my FB bacuse I have so many birthday greetings (last month). I did. I thank my friend and send them note individually. Now it's been two weeks since my last FB visit. I am motivated to update my photos and shoutout but i don't have enough drive to do it. I better YM my friends because i am always online but not with FB.

I felt so bad about the story of that mom prioritized FB than her child. There's nothing wrong in being hook with FB or any social networking sites, we need to know our priorities and sensitive enough to respond to the needs of our family especially our kids!


myLot reputation of 98/100. msfrancisco9369 (3377)  6 months ago

Thanks for the BR friend. Let's have more quality time with our family especially with our kids because soon they will have their own priorities and it will be hard for us to have their time and find time to spend with each other.

i got wind of Facebook from a distant family of my husband. she invited me first at friendster and then to Facebook. i registered at Facebook for the purpose of tracing my husband's genealogy until i saw the applications like Farmtown. FT got me addicted and hooked, actually a lot of my colleagues got addicted that our administrator decided to block Facebook because it eventually became our priority instead of work, lol!

im really got addicted to facebook. i started with farmtown and im now on level 33 waiting to buy my mansion. i got addicted there are times that my husband got mad at me because he wants to use the internet but i asked him give me a little time because i still need to harvest so that it will not be wasted, he got mad. but later he understands me because i also invited him to play farmtown, now, we arranged our schedules in using facebook. now i am addicted to cafe world and farmville, one of the applications in facebook. before i start, i will attend first the assignment of my son and i see to it that i have done all what i should done,i asked my husband to play first or use the internet while im doing something, after i have done all, i will be the using the facebook. i should say im addicted to facebook but still my priority is my family.have a nice day.

Though your question is directed to women, still I will answer itcool

Hmm... I used facebook fairly often and could have been addicted but the strike came at right time. I happened to be absent for sometime and a lot passed behind me, I don't know what! The other time I logged in it was not accepting my password.. Didn't even send resetting link. And recreated my account from scratch with same id while old one is still thereshocked What the use of getting addicted to such a site!

And still my sister is addicted to it. Maybe it's a women thing. LOL

I enjoy using Facebook and go on the site several times a day, but I don't consider myself addicted. It is a great way to stay in touch with people as many of my friends are scattered all over the country.

I maybe addicted to FaceBook but its not just the women thing, there are lots of men that are on it moning noon and nighht so they maybe me addicted to it, bu for me I reallly use FaceBook for my Fairyland to look after my plants and others also to get as many Gold as I can and it always excite me me when I get a snail or a diamond the I'd do a happy dance whe I get a wild life, that gives me a diamond too, what I like about the fairyland is helping the rain forest so I know I am doing good, so do you think I am addicted to Fairyland? I don't go to any other games on there, I know many people do, I also like to keep in touch with mylot friends there too, its great fun.
