What Not to Put In Facebook Profiles

I finally met up with Anita and Deanies after two long years. Nothing has changed much except Anita's voice, which has mysteriously deepened. Our conversation topics, though, have veered off what we normally talk about when we were in our early twenties.


After dinner, we started scrolling through Anita's facebook, looking for potential boyfriends. (The wonders of an iPhone and cheap data charges) Through such an "exercise", once again, I realised the importance of the screening of profile pictures. I have hereby come up with 3 golden rules.


1) Do not put up pictures of you in weird poses or funny faces. This rule doesn't apply when you are one of the fortunate good-looking ones. Just make sure you put plenty of good-looking pictures of yourself so that this will be a one-off incident.

You better make sure that people can spot a difference between your "funny face" and your face, otherwise DELETE THAT PHOTO!


2) Do not put pictures of yourself in your better years when you were youthful, fit and slim, especially when you have changed alot since. This will only make the surfers wonder what had happened to you. I think I know the mindsets of these people. They are trying to tell the surfers that, "Hey! I used to be that good looking!" But that was history and let's face it, we can't turn back time.



3) Do not put only pictures of your baby days, pets, vehicles or cartoon characters. Nobody would want to get together with babies, pets, vehicles or cartoon characters. And by the way, heard of photoshop? There is no such thing as an ugly picture anymore!



Girls, do you agree with me? Haha!
