While Pakistan’s burgeoning young population is often termed a “time bomb”, for social networking website Facebook the mammoth number suggests significant growth potential.
According to latests statistics, over six million Pakistanis use Facebook, putting the country on number 26 in the list of countries where Facebook users are based.
The figure, which social media researchers put at 6.08 million people, includes 4.14 million men and 1.94 million women.
Although that sounds like a lot of people, the figure is significantly less than half of the Pakistan population that has access to the internet. According Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, more than 20 million Pakistanis are online, which means that the number using Facebook is only 32.86% of the total online population.
While this is a significant indication of the potential that Facebook can still exploit in Pakistan, what is an even more important fact that comes out of the research is that the number of new users who signed in for a Facebook account increased by one million in the six months between August 2011 and January 2012.
The research shows that 5.19 million Pakistani Facebook users are over the age of 18 years. The appeal continues to be more for men, as 3.57 million of these users are men while 1.59 million are women.
The research shows that the greatest number of Facebook users (55.4%) is between the age of 18 and 24 years. The number of people in this age group who use the website is 3.03 million. The lowest number of users is, not surprisingly, in the age group of above 65 years which constitutes barely 1% of the total internet population.
Out of the users whose relationship status is single, 617,900 are women and 87,600 are men. More than 12,000 men are in a relationship compared to 71,680 women. The number for women is once again the highest, with over 95,720 married as compared to 15,120 men.
Among the users, 2.02 million people are college graduates, 1.46 million of whom are men while half a million are women.
Facebook, which was launched in 2004 but opened its doors to the public in 2006, has over 800 million active users worldwide.

i mean why would half of the guys pretend to be girls....are half of the pakistani population Gay?? or some other reason??

Guys pretend to be girls so they can talk to other guys and hear their inner most thoughts and laugh at them. Sort of like a prank.

Perhaps you need to take an academic course in common sense, if it helps.

if a man is saying such thing then ...... ..... ...... :undecided:
 
what sort of loser does that...whats the use if u cant be physical with that person...i mean a female profile would allow you only to have a girly chat with girls (and that too written), what else??

you give them a phone number, you talk like girls then you say want to talk to you but no balance :cry:
 
My cousin did it. He got the guy to come to a food place on a chowk. Then when talking to him on the phone and hiding he was like I'm shy in a girly voice, and then said I'm the one in the red dupatta. The guy went over to that girl and started chatting. In two seconds she yelled and the guy got slapped. Every guy around was running towards the first guy, while the first guy jumped on his motorcycle and sped off. Poor guy.

I yelled at my cousin and make sure he doesn't do this type of thing again.
 
oh comeon!! why you subcontinent guys try to prove yourself a man....if you are a man you dont need to prove it...just be yourself

only a gay would make fake female fb profile...if you dont know yet you will soon discover it ;)

its not about doing its about having knowledge

and if you dont have then

i hope you understand this now or you must be either less than 10 years old or more than 50 years old :D
