 The study found that girls are more judgmental than boys when it comes to dating and relationships. Girls are more likely to decide not to date someone based on their Facebook profile, with 43% of girls saying they would do so compared to 33% of boys. Additionally, girls are more likely to think it's exciting to change their relationship status on social media, with 50% of girls agreeing compared to 24% of boys. Boys, on the other hand, are more likely to keep their relationship status private, with 17% of boys saying they don't share their relationship status online compared to 12% of girls. Overall, the study suggests that girls are more invested in their online presence and how it relates to their romantic lives.
