The Power of a Pic

It’s incredible the effect a Facebook profile picture has on people. When you upload or update one [depending on your privacy settings], your entire list of “friends” gets to know about it – which in turn usually results in a pleasant bombardment of either approving messages and thumbs up’s or sarcastic remarks; but, let’s be honest…you generally enjoy getting them.

However [and once again depending on the settings you have], “the others” or the non-friends, also get their shot at you (whether you update or not). But these guys go straight to your inbox. And here, you will read words that will either put a smile on your face or bring tears to your eyes from laughing so hard! You will be serenaded or even worshiped; you will come out to seem as Shakespear’s muse or Megan Fox’s twin sister; you will get anything from phone number requests and marriage proposals to the ever so popular “let’s chat on MSN”, “are you a model?”, “are we related?” and “we have 33 friends in common, do we know each other?”.

Ahhh yes, the incredible power of a profile picture! And although you know that the message has probably been sent to another 1000 women just like you, what you do from there is completely up to you. As for me, I smile, laugh, smirk, zap, whatever… and then… I click NEXT.

Mind you, your picture doesn’t even have to be great. You don’t need to look like a super model (although I’m sure you’d see your inbox crash if you did); it pretty much doesn’t matter what you look like, because after all, there are tastes to suit every palate and drinks to quench every kind of thirst.

Should I or Should I Not?

I actually went back and forth a hundred times in my head before deciding to actually write this post and another hundred times before pressing PUBLISH. I’m not the type who reveals stuff about others, and I have no intention of doing so – EVER [about the people I know]! But I thought it would be fun to read some of the more creative messages I’ve received from people I don’t know since I’ve been on Facebook. They’re all anonymous of course but in case you read one that sounds familiar then… ooops, sorry. I won’t tell if you don’t ;)!

    Oldie but goody; some are classics. I guess it comes with the territory when you are a rock star, huh? I thought I was reading Craigslist there for a minute.

    How often do you roll out your old stuff and how do you rate the quality one year later? Like wine, better with age, or are you more ‘sophisticated’ in your missives now?

    I took the plunge and signed up w/ WordPress and ‘posted’ my first blog (if you want to call it that). It’s not epic or anything, just simple to get my feet wet. If I stick with this it will be interesting to go back to ‘my first time’ and see what I think about it.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I think it’s so funny when the English is not so good LOL! Almost to the point of not making sense. With your pic (great shot), I’m sure you get all the dudes coming out of the woodworks :)

    • http://nittygriddy.com/ Ingrid Abboud

      Lol Mike,

      I tell ya – it’s quite a challenge deciphering some of these at times. I’m sure just about everyone – regardless of looks (although that helps lol) on Facebook gets messages like these – just some are more entertaining or creative than others – and those are the one’s I wanted to share (anonymously of course) instead of the regular “Hey, what’s up – have we met?” type come-ons.

      I think another Top 20 is due soon ;). Maybe the Best of 2010!
      PS – Thank you for the compliment. Very kind :).

    Ha, Lebanese sleaze knows no bounds.

    Nice blog…

    • Griddy

      Hi Dionysos. Thanks for commenting. Indeed you are right – although I have to admit that most of the ones posted here are not from Lebanese. Not that it changes the creativity (for lack of a better word) of the comments :). I’m happy you liked the blog. Feel free to stop by and comment anytime.

      Thanks for commenting Alex :) I actually had forgotten about most of these. And that particular one you mentioned – I find funnier and funnier every time I read it! I have to say though, they're all quite original.

    I sure got some freakish msgs and emails…but nothing that fun!

    • Griddy

      Hey Larooshka,
      I’m glad the post amused you. I thought that one was really funny actually – short and to the point haha! You should see how much I laughed while going back looking for all of these. I knew not deleting messages would be good for something ;). But of course, I wanted to black out anything that divulges a person’s identity.
      Yalla – you must have a few good ones! :)
