Decoding A Man's Facebook Profile: 10 Red Flags
By BigRedFlags .com. Posted on .
A man’s Facebook profile is his social resume. The photos, friends and groups he chooses, along with other Facebook features he employs, paint a picture of his personality. Here’s how to find out if that picture is a Rembrandt or rubbish.
His Profile Photo: A picture is worth 1,000 words; a picture chosen by its subject is worth 2,000 words. A guy posing with his guitar, car or rugby team is either sincerely passionate about his hobby or wants girls to think he is because they reflect stereotypical female preferences. A pic with a pet shows he’s caring, but you may want to click through his albums to make sure Fido’s not in every photo.

His “About Me” Info: If a guy’s “About Me” is the longest thing you’ve read in years, you either need to start reading more, or you need to ask yourself why he’s willing to put so much about himself out there. He may be pompous or simply have no sense of privacy. Don’t be surprised when he overshares relationship details -- on Facebook or otherwise.

His Status Updates: A guy who can’t go ten minutes without a status update either has OCD, far too much time on his hands or an inflated sense of self-importance. That said, a man who posts once a year may fear judgment by, or comments from, his so-called friends.
His Status Content: If Farmville and/or Mafia Wars account for 50 percent or more of his updates, he probably seeks refuge in virtual worlds because he doesn’t have a lot going on for himself in the actual world. Fantasy can be fun, but this type of dude may have trouble in face-to-face social situations (e.g., dating).
