Who's Asking "Follow Me" More -- Men or Women? [Infographic]

It’s a strange thing to ask someone to “follow you”.  I imagine old settlers in frontier America inviting people to their caravan, a la Oregon Trail, using the same language hundreds of years ago — although at that time the commitment would be a lot greater.  These days, when somebody asks a person to “follow me,” it’s usually just a notch on the belt for people that use social services to count their friends.  Am I being too pessimistic?

Maybe, but I find that on social networks, the people who really should be followed rarely ask others to follow them.
