My advice is that I would recommend dating a cat instead, because cats do not have the ability to change their facebook relationship status (having a complete lack of paw dexterity and all that), so people who base their conclusions on information gathered from facebook would be much better off. A few key points about this graph illustrate actual real life points though, which is that relationships are generally favored when there is a complete lack of any contact whatsoever between the two parties. It is good to break up before Christmas so that you don't have to give your partner an expensive gift. It is also good to break up during holidays for the same reasons, including the fact that you can save yourself some time and do what you want to do.
