Why do people post "sexy" pictures on Facebook?
Am I the only one who finds this hilarious? People are always posting pictures where their lips are pouted out or they are laying on a bed.... and even if the girl is pretty it just looks ridiculous because its like "I need attention!!" screaming. Anyone with me on this one?
Why do people change their profile pictures so much?
1. To show that they have been up to something fun or worth while.It's apparently an important social norm to show that you are not failing or that you have not turned into an introvert.'You laugh, and everyone will laugh with you You cry, and you'll cry alone'2. Maintaining a consistencySome people feel that a certain 'personality' or 'aura' suits them. They prefer to bask in all the attention and when it starts to reduce, they go extra lengths to get it back. Some pictures of them reach a hit among the general crowd (specially when women give sensual poses, like licking on a spoon dipped in chocolate).3. To show a change in mood or characterMany people update their profile pictures based on their current mood or circumstances (specially with men when life seems to be taking pot shots at them).4. Fickleness, usually an outcome of an underused mind.They put up a picture because they feel they look their best in that picture. If this changes once a week or more, it is only logical that you have a fickle mind.I have a fickle mind, I know so and in order to hide it, I make it a point NOT to change my pictures so often.------------------------------Man is a social animal and compulsively gropes for attention from his society. I feel this factor is increasing by the years. Changing profile pictures is probably the most direct method for this 'animal instinct', and Facebook has oh so easily granted this to them.

Human Behavior: Why do people take photos?
Photograph - Science or Art of creating durable images.Everyone takes photos. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but are all of them worth it?Photographs are the new way to communicate nowadays. Social media sites are centered around photography. Taking a photo is so much easier due to improved technology, it is the easiest way to save a memory or a moment. It can be shared seen or understood easily.But when can photographs be taken? Life is not meant to be lived behind a lense. One should feel the beauty of the moment to feel the need to capture it. Be it a beautiful sunset, child’s smile, your family gathering. It holds a memory behind it. Your superficial features won’t matter then. A photo should capture raw moments of emotion, everyone can take a fake one.They are now being taken to prove self worth to others! Looking the best, exotic luxuries. A real photo is personal, it has intimacy. It makes your memory infinite.Every photo hold a story behind it. Make sure the story is the moment, not taking multiples of them to fake a perfect one. Photography is a powerful tool, use it revisit your memories and capturing new ones.
Why do some people look totally different in pictures than in real life?
It isn’t just in your head.When you take a selfie at arm’s-length, with a smartphone, for example, since cameras have either one lens, or several in close proximity, you end up with a slight fisheye effect. When cameras take photos, they separate the foreground, middle ground, and background very differently than two human eyes do. This exaggerates the depth difference between parts of your face, making them look disproportionate.Your nose can appear significantly larger and rounder, relative to the rest of your face, because it is perceived as the foreground, while your ears can look much smaller, as they are perceived as the background. The rest of your face tends to look slightly rounded off, more narrow, and less structured, with minor asymmetries exaggerated.The closer you are to the lens, the more distorted your face will appear, but no matter how far you are from the lens, there will always be distortion.This also is true for the rest of your body.Depending on someone’s actual features, lens distortion can work for, or against them. This is why some people look significantly more attractive, or significantly less attractive in photos. This is the real reason people say the camera adds pounds. The less structured someone looks, the more body fat are perceived to have.What is really interesting is that there is a very simple way around this distortion. Take a photo in the mirror and flip it. The distortion will be gone.This is how others see you in real life.To illustrate this, here are two photos of me taken two minutes apart in about the same spot, with the same lighting, at a similar angle, and both with the same neutral expression. One is a regular selfie, and one is a mirror selfie I flipped post factum.Regular Selfie (extremely distorted):Flipped Mirror Selfie (not distorted):
Should I send a swim suit pic to a guy I like?
So I really like these two guys, I am pretty mature for my age. I am 15 and I always thought when I was little around 15 or 16 is a good age to date. Cause when I was little everyone would date..and I was only in 5th grade (crazy right?) Anyways my point is, I like these two guys one goes to my school and the other doesn't the first guy I like is really sweet and he is the god type of boy any girl would love to have, he goes to the pool allot and I hung out with him ac-couple of times and we took pictures together and so on. The second guy he seems like a jerk he likes me and just last night we were talking on the phone for an hour and me my self I hate talking on the phone but it was fun actually, he came across some things that would really tick me off like "will you take nude for me" and "will you send me a pic or your bra a panties" I said back "im not a hoe first off' and "show what? what is there to show of me" AKA I have nothing ha ha. Then he said "will you send a swim suit picture?" I said "Um if you go to the pool you could just see me in a swim suit?" Cause the fact I cant take a picture with a swim suit and stuff I can't I don't know. So we just talked and talked. And he new I was talking to the other guy I liked some how and I really like him to we would be really cute and he wouldn't be a douche. But anyways should I send him a swim suit picture? Or tell him to come to the pool? Please know *ew no hes a jerk blah blah blah* and so on If you read all this thanks so much it means alot
People say I look better in real life than in photos, how can I improve my pictures?
The mere existence of the word photogenic suggests that pictures are just an approximate representation of reality, which uses a specific language. That should be pretty obvious also by just considering that pictures are still, while reality is in constant movement, so when we want to suggest motion in a picture we have to recur to tricks like blurring while leaving space in front of the moving object (“to move”).Now: are you considered pretty (“handsome”) because of the way you move (including the very small movements that are part of your facial expressions)? Then you are out of luck, because pictures unfortunately can’t catch this aspect of you (at least, not easily).Then, there are the usual tricks used in portraits, like extending your neck forward and slightly down, so the skin on your neck (below your chin) appears smoother and your nostrils don’t show too much. Appropriate lighting means also a lot: a flashlight directed straight on your face (like when shooting with a phone camera…) will not only highlight all imperfections of your skin, but will also make you appear unnatural (light normally comes down from above, not straight in front of you), so try to avoid doing that.Then keep in mind that a camera can capture only a brief instant in the continuous stream of your facial expressions. Keeping all the muscles of your face still for the brief instant needed to shoot a portrait will probably make you look unnatural and fake (unless you become good at it). Taking just one shoot at the right moment is hard. A way around that is to take several pictures in burst mode, and then choose the one which (luckily) looks ok.Keep also in mind that camera lens (especially in cheap cameras, and especially when shooting at a short distance) distort the scene (see distortion), which is usually the case when taking a selfie. Please have someone else doing your portrait.For example, the profile picture you currently have on FB has been taken definitely too close so your forehead is distorted and your face appears to be egg-shaped when it’s not. The lighting used in it also hides your cleft chin, which would be otherwise nice to see IMHO.
Should i send my boyfriend a pic in a bathing suit?
Okay, first off, every one else who answered this question is freaking out. Lol. It's not like you're posing nude or something. I think it's cute, sending your boyfriend a picture of you in a bathing suit, make it like silly and fun. If you have a great body, just show it off. It doesn't have to be sexual, like everyone else is making it seem like. He just randomly took a picture, shirtless, and sent it to you; I think it's cute and funny. Lol. I'm 16 and been dating my boyfriend for a year and almost 8 months. And if he did that to me, I would send him so crazy weird picture, just to joke around. Like take a picture with full clothing to where my skin wasn't even showing, lmao. Do something hilarious like that, or just take a bathing suit pic. Idk. But it sounds like you two are quite a pair. (: Don't make it seem like playboy, like every else. Haa. Just be fun about it, he's YOUR boyfriend, and he probably just wants you all to himself, which means he probably won't send the picture to 349839 other guys, and why would he? It's just a bathing suit? Idk, but worst thing is, he'll brag about you. Lol <3 Good luckk girlll : )
Is it okay to post pictures of your daughters in bathing suits on Facebook?
Personally I don't like putting my family life out there at all, but I don't consider this inappropriate. I don't think we should let the possibility of pedophiles and other perverts dictate too much what we show in public. What if some creep likes to look at little girls in sundresses? Or wearing pigtails? Or wearing short white socks? What are we going to do about it, only post pictures of our kids covered from head to toe? And wait a minute, the creeps aren't just online either. They walk around in public. So now what, force our kids to wear a burqa every time they leave the house? I say no. Let kids be kids in public. And if something is appropriate to be seen in public, like a bathing suit at the pool, it's appropriate to be seen on Facebook.
