Check My Profile: Social Media Madness

Now that we’ve all been in the social media game for awhile, it’s becoming evident that there are some “Dont’s” involved. Lately, some Facebook and Twitter profile photos have been standing out as some serious Dont’s for me so I decided to catalog them:

1. The Shadow Face

Perfectly fine if your name is Shadow Face and you are an enemy of Batman’s. Otherwise, no.

2. Look Into My Eyes

Seems like you have something to hide. Either you gained a lot of weight since high school or you were disfigured in a helicopter crash.

3. Distorted

Ditto number 2. Or you are trying to convey what it’s like inside your head.

4. Guess Who I Am!

It’s always off-putting when you get a friend request from someone and you’re not sure who they are… so you go to look at their photo and… uh… which one are they?

5. I’m Arty

And unable to focus – literally and figuratively. Favorite gambit of pixies.

6. I Used To Be Hot

You know this woman and she’s 58 now but this persists as her Facebook photo month after month.

7. I’m Sexy.

I have a Facebook friend who continually posts photos kinda like this. I don’t know her very well and I don’t know her out of a certain context, so it’s always entertaining when a new provocative photo shows up. The latest is of her leaning against a tree in red lingerie.

8. Mad Men Yourself
