If you’d like to know why you were “friended” or “unfriended” on Facebook, here are the stats on that...

Do you “friend” people on Facebook that you don’t know in real life?

Some new research sheds some light on why we “friend” or “unfriend” on Facebook:

• 82% site knowing someone offline as a reason for adding them.

• 60% consider a mutual friend as reason enough.

• 11% of friends are added for business networking.

• 8% admit to adding a friend because of physical attractiveness.

• 55% of Facebookers “unfriend” because of offensive comments.

• 39% remove friends due to sales or soliciting.

• 23% of friends are dumped for depressing comments.

• 14% for political comments.

When it comes to “unfriending,” women are much more likely to hit that button. Men are more likely to use social media for careers, networking and dating and are not as sensitive to what others post.
