Backwards sexist culture where they treat women like cattle. Literally, in Indians case.

my girlfriend

I reckon it's something like this.

Imagine that you've grow up with almost no interaction with unrelated females. You have the same sexual urges as any other man, but no way at all to satisfy them. You live in a culture where dating is looked down upon, and where most girls are unwilling to go against those social expectations. You live in a society where a low-wage job is considered demeaning, and so you are financially dependent on your family until you finish university and get a "real job". So your conservative family controls your life and your parents plan on getting you married off to a girl of their choice. The most interaction you have with women on a daily basis is passing them on the street, or paying the cashier at the supermarket. Not even that if you're in a conservative Muslim country. And they all dress traditionally or conservatively. Your religion has weird ideas about sex, and you've received no sex education at all - not from school or your parents.

Then you get home, and turn on the American internet. And immediately, you're blasted with more sexuality and promiscuity than you thought possible, and comparatively super-liberal attitudes towards sex. A place bursting with free hardcore pornography, mostly featuring Western women. You watch sitcoms like Friends, where each women seems to go through tens of sexual partners. On every Western soap you watch, people seem to have sex as often as cooked meals. On social media, you see thousands of real beautiful women, dressed in a way that you'd never see in real life. Your sexual desire grows, and you start to feel like you're missing out on something that you desperately want. A magical sex-filled society across the ocean.

You've got no chance of getting sex where you are. You start to get more desperate. How do you get yourself through the door? Well, people seem to talk to each other on this Facebook thing right, so let's try that. Uh, what do I say? I haven't spoken to a girl I don't know since middle school. I don't speak English well enough to write anything meaningful. I don't understand their social norms and cues. I know that we'll never really meet. And really, I just want to get off with someone else. Screw it, let's just say something "sexy" in English and see how it goes. "Booby".

I'm not rationalising or supporting this behaviour, but if there's a reason for it, it's probably extreme sexual deprivation and weird social/religious attitudes towards sex mixed with sudden exposure to a (comparatively) overly-sexualised environment, a poor grasp of Facebook etiquette and a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of such websites.
