Are you(Women) addicted to Facebook?

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!

Really? I never heard about that before... I'm a member of facebook also. but i'm not that adicted & obsessed with them. I just log on just 1-2 in a week just to check if theres important updates from friends.. Have a nice day! And happy lotting!

I have never been addicted to FAcebook though I have an account there. This story reminds me of my sister. She wakes up early in the morning to log in to facebook and then gets tied up with it. She sometimes forgets to feed her daughter because she could not get herself out of sitting in front of the computer. I believe that the person has the sole control of herself. One needs to know when and where to stop in order to attend to the more important things in life.

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.

addicted to facebook? no, i spend my time in internet by doing something, like read articles, especially islamic artikel.

Well, yes, most of the women I know are totally gaga over facebook as well..."Oh such lovely pictures! Oh she went on a vacation" I know women who are living breathing, eating and talking facebook... Oh, puhlease...Who cares?!? Let everyone get on with their lives..Just a male perspective to your discussion...

Funny about it, I am caught in Facebook; I won't lie to no one here; I go there first before I hit my emails; It's a place where you can check out stuff before it drops; When Michael Jackson passed, there was a lot of commotion on there that day; I had to ask that whatever the verdict that we pray if anything. I play the games on there; but I come from there and go elsewhere. Twitter is ok, but if I got something to say, 144 words max just won't cut it.plain and simple.

yes.. I am addicted to facebook... but its because of the games there. I do farmville, farmtown, barnbuddy, country life. Now I stay to stay on those games and not add more I won't be able to out in front of the monitor. sometimes those games could eat up a lot of time that's why I just plant and harvest. These days I rarely visit the friend's farm. Whew.. visiting neighbors could eat a lot of time.

I have been a member of Facebook for a while but I rarely log into it unless I have a message or a friends request. I find that I don’t have the time really. My sister loves Facebook and she’s there every chance she gets; my sister in law is like that too! I prefer being on MyLot; because I can’t tear myself away from here, I have no time for FB!

I'm not addicted to Facebook at all because I really don't like it. To much going on at once I believe. The only thing I like are the quizzes. I only go on maybe once a month.

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!

Yes, I absolutely love Facebook and am totally addicted! However, at the same time, I do not randomly add "friends" just so that I appear to have more. I personally know everyone on my list. I'm also not one of those people who friends all my high school classmates in order to appear more popular. I wasn't the most popular then and don't need to be now. The handful of friends on my Facebook who I did go to high school with all asked to be my friend. I did not seek them out. As for the woman who was too busy to help her daughter with homework, that is ridiculous. Grow up and be a parent. As to the theory that women are hooked on getting more friends to increase their self-worth, I find that totally false. There are thousands of confident women who don't need such validation. For those that do, some are struggling to break that cycle and winning (this would be me!) transforming themselves into confident women. For the rest, I hope that one day they will also learn to stop basing their happiness upon what other people think of them and rather base their happiness upon what they think of themselves. It is the only way to pure peace and joy. :)

Facebook is okay, however I prefer myspace much more. Just because it is more easy to navigate and we have the locals in there.

i was not an addict until i found about cafe world. damn, i really really love to cook and offer services to people.

Though your question is directed to women, still I will answer it 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 there 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 like Facebook, but hearing stories about others, and seeing people online playing games all of the time, I realize I am not quite as addicted as I thought. I go on about once or twice a day. I don't play the games. But I have responded on pages of a business before. That was an old store from my hometown. It's funny that the story here is mainly referring to women. The people that I mostly see playing the games while I am online are men. I even have seen a preacher playing a Mafia game on numerous occasions. I don't understand how that can even be right? But, then again, it is just a game. I do like catching up with old friends that I haven't heard from in over 20 years. But, I think after the new wears off, that it isn't quite as interesting unless you do play some of the games or do something to keep active on the site.

I've never joined that site and really have no interest in it. I don't see the attraction. My sons are on it but they're not obsessed with it. I don't think there is anything there that would interest me except that it would be another way to talk with my adult children who live in another state.

No i am not addicted to it, i am just glad that it is created because i get connected with my long lost friends and get to see their pictures just like friendster.

well, I don't think I am addicted to facebook, although i check it everyday, and my facebook account is always open whenever I surf the internet,. I don't really post and play games anymore.. I just read other's post, and get updated on my friends and siblings life.. Though, I know a lot of people who goes online for a lot of hours, sometimes even losing some sleep over facebook. But I don't think that it's women only, I know a lot of men who chooses facebook over dates. 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.
