Women who have this tendency base their self esteem and his value in appearance and they use social networks to compete for attention.

The study analyzed more than 300 men and women with an average of 23 years of age. They measured the amount of time the subjects spent watching their profile , The number of shared photos, the size of the network created and how promiscuous were their behaviors when making friends online.

The results show that there are differences between men and women. They suggest that women, compared to men, identify more strongly about their image and appearance using Facebook to compete for attention.

Those young people who had the social networks larger and published more photos of themselves, they rely more on their appearance.

"The results suggest persistent behavioral differences between men and women as a result of women's cultural focus on their image," he said. Michael A. Stefanone, Professor at the University of Buffalo. "It is disappointing to note that in 2011 there are so many young people who continue to base the value of their self esteem through its physical appearance , in this case, by means of upload photos of themselves on Facebook like doing advertising. "
