Facebook knows who you fell in love with

Facebook data analysts have published statistics collected from anonymous profiles on the social network. As romantically stated in the official blog, the statistics show “the formation of love” between couples.

“For 100 days before starting a relationship, we observe a slow but steady increase in the number of messages between a future couple,” writes study author Carlos Diuk. But the most interesting thing happens later: a sharp decrease in communications in the social network immediately after the establishment of relations (and the new status in the profile).

The peak number of messages (1.67 per day) was noted 12 days before entering into a relationship. The minimum amount (1.53 per day) is 85 days after the status change. Obviously, couples try to spend more time together in the physical world, and not on the Internet.

The fact that having entered into a serious relationship, people rarely publish messages on Facebook indicates the true nature of social networks. In a sense, they offer a “lightweight”, frivolous alternative to real communication. If a person has real communication, then the social network is no longer needed.

Communication between lovers in a social network weakens, but it becomes noticeably warmer. A few days before the “union” with each other, lovers begin to more often use words with positive emotional coloring, such as “love”, “cute”, “happiness”, “excellent” and so on.
