To my experience, the more beautiful you are. The more self absorbed, egotistical and quite possibly materialistic the person has come across. Why increase the “stereotype” by adding an abundance of scandalous pics to your public profile? lets find out…
Its mind blowing how many girls (and guys) post so many scandalous boob shots. Whats more mind blowing is that occasionally the very next picture in the album is with their daughter. Is this really the image you want to pass on to the next generation? call me old fashioned! But If you’re a model, i understand. Although I’ve always been told “there is a time and a place for everything”. (Usually when trying to make a classroom of 30 laugh while the teacher is teaching). Which makes me believe that majority of people need to learn how to organize their “promotions” of scandalous shot. Lets start by creating an album called “modeling” or if your a total skeez “scandalous”. This way you’ll have better luck with potential modeling opportunity’s. Dont forget that you can even set albums with different privacy settings.
In a recent study/survey people with narcissistic personality traits were shown to exhibit Facebook activity that was distinctly more self-promotional.
According to a Canadian researcher, who surveyed 100 students (50 men, 50 women) between the ages of 18 and 25 on their Facebook habits, frequent users tend to be the most insecure and self-centered. After quizzing each subject on his or her Facebook usage, she had them take a personality test to determine their level of narcissism.
Those who spent more time updating their profile on the social networking site were more likely to be narcissists, said researchers. Especially if majority of your profile pictures include scandalous shots.
Facebook provides an ideal setting for narcissists to monitor their appearance and how many ‘friends’ they have, the study said, as it allows them to thrive on ‘shallow’ relationships while avoiding genuine warmth and empathy. For the average narcissist, Facebook “offers a gateway for hundreds of shallow relationships and emotionally detached communication.
One final item of note — according to the same results, women are more likely to self-promote on Facebook with a flattering photo, while men are more likely to use carefully worded posts.
While the correlation between narcissism and insecurity may seem strange, researchers believe that narcissism is actually rooted in a lack of self-esteem.
Facebook has more than 500million users worldwide and is the world’s biggest social networking website, but it has been involved in a number of controversies.
A study earlier this week showed that the grades of students who use Facebook while they study, even if it is only on in the background, are 20 per cent lower on average than those of non-users.
