There are 955,660 South African women on facebook. And 92,940 of them were brave enough to list on their profiles that they are interested in women. Hey, that's almost 10% of South African female Facebook users that are out and proud :-)

I discovered this while playing around with advertising targeting on Facebook.

To see this on Facebook, go to Applications -> Ads & Pages -> create an advert -> scroll down to “2. Targeting” -> enter the demographics that you want to see

Here are some screen shots that I took today (4 September 2009):

Firstly, to see how many South African women are on Facebook:

Untapped potential indeed. Where are these girls? And why is it so hard to find them if there are so many of them?

Wow! Thats great. Glad to hear that so many girls are proud enough to list it on their profiles. I just recently changed mine to say that. As i have a lot of colleagues added, it took some courage. High five to my sisters who did the same.

Well, it is estimated that ten percent of people are gay... so it would make sense that 10% of facebook ladies would be as well! It just proves it. Hooray..!!
( personally i think the percentage is much higher amongst psychologists)
But tell me...where are they hiding and who is the closest to me
(Im in mowbray)..

Couldn't the numbers be skewed by women who are seeking only friendship with women? Can you safely assume that all women who are on facebook are looking for relationships? I think not. And I'm a US lesbian who loves my SA sisters! However, if I'm wrong, Yaaaay! A hearty sawabona & shout out to Roman Lounge in Durban!
2nd...

I totally 2nd that. I'm a guy, a straight guy. but enough with that, Ive even noticed among asians at my school that they put their profiles at, interested in: women and men. The first time I thought the girl was actually bi but then I started noticing the same trend in many other asian girl's accounts. so I don't think they are really bi
