SOCIAL MEDIA GENDER STATISTICS IN 2020

Now, let’s assess some social networks that both genders are active on them:

FACEBOOK AND WOMEN

On Facebook, women tend to share more personal problems, while men want to discuss about abstract topics and researches showed “female topics” get more likes. Women use Facebook as a relationship tool and have 55% posts on their wall and have 8% more Facebook friends. Also, an interesting part is that 69% of gamers on Facebook are women.

INSTAGRAM AND WOMEN

As all know, Instagram is a platform for fashion, beauty, design, and brands that target women as its customers. Another reason is, this platform is for sharing photos and women are more interested in showing themselves, their clothes, make –up, home, etc. Appearance is so important for women and this platform is the best place for that.

“Young women dominate Instagram and visual platforms in general. Instagram gives you the power to modify your appearance in a way that’s practically on par with makeup and other beauty products”

said Rachel Simmons

TWITTER AND WOMEN

Approximately, women use twitter as same as men. Of course, it depends on the location because Twitter has a commercial zone and is for business and news. In fact, on Twitter, you can show your skills about your business and people more follow news by twitter, so this is more interesting for men. And why level stat of these 2 genders are close to each other? Because women are starting a business and getting more skills.

Additionally, Zhu said,

“Men may not find the content of women’s tweets as compelling as other men’s, or they may not feel obligated to reciprocate relationships and follow women who follow them.”

PINTEREST AND WOMEN

Women have more heavily users on Pinterest. I think you can guess why? Women love purchasing and on Pinterest, 83% have made a purchase weekly. Also, on Pinterest, you can learn the art and handy craft in which females are more interested in them.

As noted by Pinterest:

“85% of women told us they use Pinterest to plan small or big life moments, compared with Facebook 53% and Instagram 44%”

Socialmediatoday shared interesting statistics:

  • Taking a vacation in the next 6 months (50%)
  • Having their ideal home in the next five years (43%)
  • Weekly workout routines (35%)
  • Seeking inspiration for kids’ birthday parties or other large parties (34%)

Don’t forget women love the brand, therefore Pinterest is the best place for finding Brands.

YOUTUBE AND WOMEN

Each of us knows YouTube as a video platform that shows more about music and films, advertising and watching video on TV screens, also you can find some tutorial videos. As the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media analyses, people more pay attention to ads created by women, so men watching YouTube ads more. But these statistics are not so far from each other; it’s like Twitter because women are interested in business as same as men and want to be an entrepreneurial person.
