There must be something you can tell about a person (mostly females, I think) who for their facebook picture having their significant other prominently placed.
Not sure what it is, and not saying its anything bad, just that its … something
Yes this IS a worthwhile post, you’re wrong.
Yes. Also those people who have joint Facebook accounts. Hate that.
What about those who have photos of themselves in exotic locations (“I’m a world traveler me!”) Or with their kids…?
Or one taken 10 years ago!
yeah… there’s a definite narcissistic temptation isnt there. My facebook persona is definatly having a better life than i am!!! i like to think of them as two seperate people… oh and yes of course qmonkey is a 3rd… goodness, i need a shrink big time!
What’s wrong Qmonkey – in the sudden age of media censorship have you been scared off from being provocative? Never mind the BBC.. you can’t just tease us with “is something”. Do Russell Brand’s memory proud and say something more than “something”…

“provocative” moi? I’m but a humble questioner
Facebook behaviour winds me up. If certain people behaved in the ‘real’ world as they do on Facebook they would be complete social misfits. I am a ‘friend’ of a married couple who constantly write on each other’s wall professing their love for each other, usually using the word ‘babe’ as their term of endearment. The real world equivalent to that would be to shout ‘I love you babe, you’re great,’ all the time, as loud as you could, with the sole purpose of making as many people as possible hear you. Why not just phone, text, pm each other? Or even maybe say it, face to face, in private?
I had a whole post on this topic once but I was told by my better half that it made me sound horrible and that I shouldn’t put it up, especially if ‘facebook friends’ were to actually see it. I’m glad you’ve written about it so that I can rant here, in likely anonymity.
And don’t get me started on people who delight in telling me on their status that they’ve just brushed their teeth. . .
Totally agree, even worse is when people fight with each other via facebook status,
The girls on FACEBOOK have their ‘Me with my Man’ pictures as their profile to prove to the bitchy girls at school that they did in fact, eventually, ‘get their guy’….
I think it tends to be insecure girls who are really “proud” of who they managed to snag as a boyfriend. It’s also weird to me when one person in a relationship consistently puts up couple photos as their profile picture and the other person doesn’t. What does that say?
I’m currently writing my dissertation on Facebook profile photos. I’m concentrating on the ‘couple photos’. I noticed a trends in some photos that the dominate partner in the relationship will always be on the left hand side of the photo frame, to the right of the submissive partner. I have not just drawn my conclusions by just mere conjecture, I interviewed over 200 clients, concluded which one is the Alpha partner and then linked the results to their profile photo. Some other interesting results I have found were, if someones profile photo is of a profile shot of themselves but in a dramatic pose those users are mostly have anxiety issues. These issues in most cases are highly linked to future depression and in some cases suicide. Once I finish my study and it gets graded, depending on the final mark I will post the full 25,000 word piece.
