A study has found that women are finding it increasingly difficult to move on once a relationship has ended and that Facebook provides them the perfect means to stalk their ex-boyfriends.Experts have likened the habit of following ex-boyfriends on the web to the lure of online gambling.
And according to the first British study into cyber-stalking, around 35 percent of victims are now men, and all cases are virtually committed by women.
But offline, just 8 percent of harassment victims are male, with female stalkers a rarity.
Dr Emma Short, a psychologist at the University of Bedfordshire, has had hundreds of responses to an online survey as part of her research with the Network for Surviving Stalking.
