i couldn’t agree more about the headshot pic! leave it for your resume guys. and Jeff, you might want to read this article with a slight sense of sarcasm. don’t take it so seriously. i think she’s pin pointed how we’ve all felt at some point or another.

I hate couple shots! I think they’re so tasteless. And I’m guessing Emo includes ANY pic that you take of yourself.

So to the big loser up there defending Facebook: Looks like you’re the one that’s unescorted and obviously in need of meeting some companionship if Facebook is in need of your protection.

Plus–one is the loneliest number…

I can excuse any of these except emo shots. It’s just sooo Myspace

Putting up childhood photos is one of the MOST important things to do if you are trying to find old friends, dumbass. You have got to be kidding about the headshot thing, right? I WANT to see clear shots of people’s faces! What you need to complain about are people who have no pictures of themselves! What about the idiots who use their dog as their profile pic, and that is their ONLY picture! Some people put up emo shots for fun, too. You don’t have to be emo to put up a fun little emo shot! Some of us might also want to put up a celeb photo because the meeting was a memorable occasion that we want to share! THE ONLY criticism I agree with is company promotion, keep that crap out of my person to person social site, it is so impersonal! You won’t have to worry about de-friending me because the request to be friends with someone who is so touchy would never be sent in the first place.

I totally agree with you. It drove me crazy to see them doing something so annoying. No. 2 and No. 6 had me ignore them for a while. Probably poke fun around on them. I guess. lol

And if you hate couple shots then you are just fat and lonely. Go to an all you can eat buffet and wolf down your sorrows you cow.

I don’t like it when people have a pic of their pet or a pic of their kid as their main pic. It usually means they’re fat and/or ugly. Or if they have a close-up pic of their eyes or lips, it usually means they’re fat and are trying to take the focus off their body.

Overall this is really funny… thanks for the laugh.

I had a headshot pic up for a while, and I got a lot of nice comments on it. While I had that one up, I was also voted #1 “Person with the Best Profile Picture” on the “Compare People” application, which is totally anonymous, so people voting are very honest. So I don’t think everyone agrees with you about the headshot. I’ve had 26 different profile photos and 25 of them are recent and candid, but I liked the headshot one too.

I just posted mine because I liked it, but a lot of companies now check applicants’ social networking profiles, so I think a headshot makes sense.

Almost all of my Facebook friends are real life friends. I have made a few friends through Facebook through one of the apps, but we talk all the time and have really gotten to know one another. If you really defriend someone based on a profile pic (and are not just totally joking about that), I don’t think they should have ever been on your friends list in the first place… that’s pretty fake.

Eh… every kind of facebook photo is somewhat obnoxious. But then, facebook is an incredibly obnoxious site. But, we all use it anyway; so no point in really being mad when we see something on there that makes us wanna punch a baby.

Couples kissing is probably the worst one on there. Ad the baby one can get confusing because you don’t know who the hell it is. its some baby you have probably never seen and they all look the same. just keep the picture of you on there and its all good.

I’m just glad to see such a mixed opinion of the article… I’m somewhat torn between “Judgemental B****” and “I see your point”… I really kind of dig people’s choice in their photos… however, I do think that a photo that does not clearly show yourself is impersonal and not worth my attention at best; weak and insecure more likely.

I will say, headshot photos and childhood photos I actually really like. They show people at their best, which to me is admirable; you took the time to get a professional photo taken? There’s nothing more authentic than a chipper, playful kid not at a all minding his mom and her camera. Celeb photos are pretty cool too; but to earn merit as a default pic, it should be recent otherwise it just shows you don’t really have anything going on in your life.

… just my two cents

also shouldve added “glamour shots” I dont need to see a 50 yr old tryin to look 20 by piles of makeup and a feather boa lmao

the writer of this article should get a life, and maybe stop looking at everyone else's through fb.

and look who has a headshot as their picture!!!

you put all of this up because you are jealous. end of story haha. oh and get off facebook if it bothers you so much. get over yourself. have a nice day

Well Jenni, I've seen your profile picture and I don't want to be your FB friend either. You're a little judgemental for my liking. Perhaps you should get out more and stop looking for serious friendships through profile pics. Some of us just like to kill time and chat with friends. You obviously need something a bit more involved.
Get over yourself. If I ever met you in person, I'd throw rocks at you

You've come across as someone trying to have a set of higher standards and insulting to those with sense of humor!!!

If anyone is gonna talk sh!t about myface and shwitter, this is where they should start. The only point that really matters is the content that people put in their wall posts and updates…stupid sh!t like “eating a granola bar” or “is so lonely”. Girls usually say stuff that should make men think that they are sexy and health consious, while guys imply to girls things that make themselves look sensitive and thoughtful… OMG It is so easy to see right through this sh!t as it is annoyingly obvious. But the point is to be yourself. And if people make joke comments, dont be upset because u set yourself up for it.

Sometimes I like that people have obnoxious photographs, its like a warning to “stay away”. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so if u like the ocean, ur pic may be u in the ocean. Who cares? I like the fact that most people dont take themselves too serious. But I have to say, if ur using these sites for dating, ur already doing things wrong. Go to dedicated sites for this, this way the stalkers u encounter wont be able to annoy ur friends on these “social friend” sites. And remember, similar rules apply. If ur a bitch, ur profile will likely reflect that, same goes for if ur a douchebag, and if either of these are u, its very likely that u will be a habitual dating site user anyway, meaning that u have atleast 3+ dating site profiles(the more the merrier, right?).

So to u Jenni, I would think more about ur audience next time, considering u invite us to follow u on the twit. I think the Emo joke was ur strongest bit, and u knew it, thats why u started out with it(and u shouldve ended with it). But the rest seemed like overly “whitty” filler, though not very whitty, especially considering that ur own pic is quite questionable. U laying ur pumpkinhead over ur neatly folded paws… LOL! JK. But it sure is a lovely and thoughtful pic of u on ur best behaviour.

Love ya Doll!
