Last night I was chatting with
@burn_journal, and she was talking about her dear boyfriend, who she met on Xanga but who now uses Xanga a lot less. We thus got on the topic of how relationships change our Xanga usage. Here is my theory:
I. Single men spend more time on Xanga than taken men do. Once a guy gets a girlfriend, his Xanga usage almost disappears.
II. Women in relationships spend more time on Xanga than single men do. When a woman is truly single and not dating anyone, she tends to avoid Xanga.
Agree? Disagree?

@AgainstTheWind1 -
yeah, me neither. I have to remember how to spell the site every time I go here--it's Xanga, not Zanga, right?
What is the logic behind truly single women avoiding xanga?
I'm single and not really looking for a relationship, but wouldn't object to one finding me... and I'm on Xanga all the frickin' time.
Single,, but I am spending more time job searching

I agree to an extent. I met my boyfriend here on Xanga and we honestly do spend a lot less time on here. I think that the time we would spend on here before is the time we spend together. I do come on sometimes but when he's not around. Not because I don't want him knowing but because I cherish our time together. I think he's around here less on xanga than I am. Since I've posted most times, and more recently than he has in the last 2 months. A relationship does minimize time usage of any social network. But, I also think that once people get into a routine type life or learn to balance they return to using even though not the same amount BUT there was a purpose to blogging or using online usage especially when using xanga (personally: to relieve stress and interact with people) and it sure wasn't to seek a relationship.
i just use xanga a lot less when i'm too busy with my work
I'm a single girl and am on xanga a good amount, unfortunately. I don't necessarily post a lot, though, but I read all the posts on the front page and check my subs like five times a day. I don't even comment a lot, I just like reading what other people think about and I like to read everyone else's comments.
I'm a single woman who doesn't need a relationship because she has her online friends
Agree.
hmm... I don't know. I think when I'm more depressed I tend to write more than I'm happy? Not depending on my status.
single...when am I OFF xanga?
I think women are naturally better at snooping and force their guys to stop chatting with girls on Xanga. Less Xanga is a byproduct of that.
I've recently started using my Xanga less... oh no. I must be dating her. *gasp*
Reckon I can't answer. I've been institutionalised for comin up on 17 years now :)
Disagree. I have always spent lots and lots (and lots and lots...too much, okay?) time on Xanga. Single, dating, married...doesn't matter. I'm an addict.
I'm another one of those single girls, but I come on xanga probably every other day or so
Nay...find myself writing less after being taken and writing more when I was single.
The weekends are spent more with him as opposed to being bored out of mind or busy out of my mind which often lead to writing on xanga.
@AgainstTheWind1 - well, thank you for the kind words. :) I'm actually working my way out of (the tail end) a relationship that was doomed to fail... I'm not really sure what I was thinking, actually.
But I'm happy being me for now and doing things that I enjoy. I'm not in any hurry to jump into another relationship.
I'm in a relationship and we're on Xanga almost all the time, so I'd have to disagree.
i'm married and i'm on xanga a lot #loser. lol. just kiddingggg..i do get on a lot but it's a quick check to see if anyone i like has made a post...and then i'm off again to clean, play, wipe butts and eat.
I was dating someone when I started this xanga, and I'm currently still dating that person.. haha :P
