Help me pick my new facebook profile picture! Do I really care that much what people think of me? Yes! Is that a bad thing? Absolutely!

Regardless, options are...

1.

2.

3.

4.

I want your unbiased opinions for starters. I'll give you my take on them later on.

Wait, is that you or one of the Jonas brothers?

*high fives*

How tall are you? you look like your 7 feet tall in the 3 and 4th lol

Haha, 6'4...ish? Once you reach a certain point your just "tall". There's no need to measure any further as it simply doesn't matter. I've reached that point.

If I were you, I would definitely go with picture 3

Haha. Funny thing is, those girls are honestly much prettier. Lame picture of them is lame. I look good though, so you know. ; )

Also, I'm kind of trying to start dating the girl on my left. So you know....

all i can say is Shes Hawt

ATTA BOY! GO GET HER!

yea number 3 without the jewfro is nice... but seriously... take off the jewfro

Actually planning on getting it trimmed. It has gotten a bit unruly.

Are you serious posting stuffs like that in here...?
I mean... nevermind.


4. Yeah, you look like Nick Jonas. lol.

I always thought you were the guy in your avatar, such a dissapointment.

/wrist

Go with the 3rd.

First one you look like you're having a shit on a middle aged toilet.

I definitely say third. If not for the two girls, the picture itself looks badass. Can't go wrong with a jacket and tie.

3rd one for sure.

1st one you look like such a wimp.

3rd one you look like a bad ass ladys man

Go with 3

And keep the Jewfro!

Hm, I would say, go with the 2nd one, did you had some artistic show-up back then ?

Every "badass guy" has on the profile a picture with him and 1-2-3 etc.. girls, which would make you as repetitive and as mediocre as them, if you put the 3rd one.


P.s. What ever you do, don't put the 4th one, never, looks just gay, a baby betwen 2 guys...ehrm...

why do you look exactly like i imagined you to look.

Duuude..

I say number 1.

2 looks rediculous, 3 makes you look like poser and 4 is a little gay...

The problem is your dressed wayy too formally in all of your pictures. A vest, suit and tie? Have you heard of a t-shirt? Sure, I like formal clothing and all. But as a default picture it basically sums up yourself quite briefly for an external viewer. You look like you need to loosen up a bit, pull a funny pose, wear some casual clothes. You know, be a teenager. You just look a bit uptight is all, I don't like it.

Basically, here's an example of what I'm talking about. Compare your DP to my (not current) dp. A photo taken on a great night, relaxing with my best friend, drinking some rockstar, usually I'd pull a silly pose like my friend is but I was midway through a drink and just wearing normal clothes. It doesn't make me seem too formal or too casual, it's just nice.



Or, even yet, another older DP. A simple webcam chat with a friend, being silly, wearing glasses and poses like a shocked homo whiost my friend does a quagsire impersonation. It shows emotion and socialisation, normal characteristics. I dunno, Maybe I'm just ranting shit but I really dislike the options tbh. Pic below.



Go for something less forced. My 2 cents.

While I agree with what Twilliger says, I also disagree.

Number 3 he's dressed up rather nicely, but he's got a silly sort of pose/facial expression going on. To me that conveys that he's here for business, but he likes to have fun.

Looking at number 3 I think he's way too anti-social and expressionless. Like he's dressed formally and while two attractive girls are besides him doing silly poses, he has his hands by his side and has no real distinctive or appealing facial expression at all. Does that seem like the kind of person I want to add? Not really. I like to talk to lively, care free people. He just seems to uptight and shy in those photo's. But that's just me.

Facebook isn't a dating website..You add your friends, not people based on their profile pictures.

Who said it was? Facebook is a socialising website. I add friends of friends who share common interests and who I judge, based on what's available to me, to be the kind of people I'd enjoy socialising with. Much like real life socialising, the way you present yourself will alter the way people judge you. You don't have to have interest in dating someone to add them on facebook, hell having a decent conversation with someone new can be quite enjoyable.

Gotta say no.3 simply because:

But some examples of my popular facebook pictures:


and the traditional:


Just to give you an idea of what the girls like as profile pictures

I was at a wedding. Was one of the groomsmen.

1. put all on hot or not
2. put up highest rated pic

take the 4, and make them like that

Voted 4. I like the mood of the picture. The shot makes you look more mature and less goofy.

3 makes you look like a doofus (just saying - not every image with ladies next to you is sexy). It either tells people that you're either goofy or a loser. That's just my opinion though.
1 has horrible image quality (even for a "vintage" look).
2 looks like you were in a Star Wars convention, cosplaying as Han Solo, nerd.

Or.. Make a random pic and cut some ppl out..



Screw your friends, save yourself.
