Based on a profile picture, you can get very useful kind of information. Many people think that’s only a picture and anyone deserve to have a custom profile picture according with their likes or hobbies. Guess what? You’re totally right.

The big deal here is that a profile picture, display picture or even an e-mail signature can describe you better than if I ask you for. A display picture or profile picture is like your online “presentation card”. You can get a lot of information from them.

Let’s say that a friend of mine have a profile picture like the picture that’s attached to this post. What can you get from it? The person doesn’t have their priorities in order, he likes to get drunk a lot, he doesn’t care about his professional stuff. He rather to have a “epic drunk night” than his family or friends. His best friend is called alcohol. He tries to get some attention because in his childhood he wasn’t that popular and he mentally is trying to imitate what others did at that age. And you can get much more.

If I’ve for example a girl friend that changes her profile picture every two days and she's got company on every profile picture (a different guy in each picture) You can say that she’s really needed of love, and she wants to call the attention of other girls to say them “Hey I’ve a boyfriend” but she’s actually not confident about herself. She probably lost her true love ‘cause her jealous behavior or maybe ‘cause another gal that took “his man” away. She depends of people ideas or opinions. She needs a friend close to her who really understand her. Or (depending on the picture, how she’s dressed, the expressions, etc ) she could be a sl*t.

You see? you can get a lot of information about a profile picture. People need to reorganize their ideas and ask themselves “How do I want people to remember me?” In order to project themselves the way they want others to see them.
1) If you’re a professional that’s looking for job, you’ve to look professional, take yourself a photo in a speech or something and put it as profile picture.
2) If you’re a young professional you can use (like I’m actually using) a “manga avatar” or “comic avatar” with a professional look.
3) If you want people to recognize your friends are first, you’ll have a profile picture with your friends.
4) If you want your mate to know she’s especial for you, you’ll have a p.p. with her.
5) If you want people to know you’re compromised with your work, you’ll have a picture with your hobbie or you doing your actual work.
6) If you’ve a display picture that’s only you in a close up. You’re indicating who you’re, “if you like it.. cool, if you don’t f*ck yourself, I’m cool with the way I’m”
7) If you want people to know you’ve a mess with your life, then use a picture like the one attached on this post.
