"Sure, Facebook is great for keeping in touch with people, but what it&amp;amp;#8217;s really great for is showing all those jerks who ignored you in high school just how fabulous you&amp;amp;#8217;ve become. So there, suckers! If you want to appear even more attractive on Facebook, a new study has two clues as to how to do it, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s more helpful than &amp;amp;#8220;Avoid duckface&amp;amp;#8221; (although, true) and way more doable than &amp;amp;#8220;Have professional photos taken.&amp;amp;#8221; First, use pictures that show who you are. According to the study, people find photos more attractive if they give &amp;amp;#8220;social cues&amp;amp;#8221; about the person. For instance, instead of just a headshot of your smiling face, consider using a snapshot of you with your intramural soccer team, or a picture of you holding up your most gorgeous tomato from your backyard garden if you&amp;amp;#8217;ve got a green thumb. It&amp;amp;#8217;s hot to reveal your hobbies and interests, apparently. This is not at all part of the study, but my non-scientific guess is that this is probably a good idea for your online dating profile too! Photos that reveal a little something about you might catch people&amp;amp;#8217;s eye more than just a pretty face. Second, the more compliments you get, the more people will find you attractive. The comments on your pictures can influence how people perceive you when viewing your photos. Negative comments, even when of a joking or silly nature, can negatively impact the way people view you. In conclusion: show your personality and don&amp;amp;#8217;t let any jerks comment on your pictures. Oh, and could everyone I&amp;amp;#8217;m friends with on Facebook please go write a compliment on my profile picture in case any cute friends of friends are checking me out? Ok, thanks guys! Am I crazy to find it really encouraging that people rate photos as more attractive based on things like social cues, rather than just looks? It&amp;amp;#8217;s kind of cute that people like knowing about you! Do you have any &amp;amp;#8220;social cues&amp;amp;#8221; in your profile pic?
