Speculating about people based on photo
I think I can say that these days visual culture dominates in our society. Videos and various pictures are around us and so, there is much more information today, comparing with past times. Now one of the most important parts of your personal image is your Facebook or Instagram account. People share tons of pictures with their face, clothes, food, etc. So, sometimes we are obviously speculate about people basing on their profile pics in the Internet.
On the one hand, it makes sense sometimes. We are different and everyone want to look cool and be liked by others. That’s the reason why people take photos. But why do they take their photos in such way as they do? I think, it depends on what and why people consider as coolness and beauty. Looking at the photos of a random guy we can suppose what are his or her interests, what does he or she like. Style always says a lot about a person.
On the contrary, there is no guarantee that your opinion based on appearance will be 100% accurate. I even have experience like that: before my university classes started, I had checked my future group mates social network profiles and sometimes my opinion on some guys was a bit negative maybe, because some of them I considered as maybe too selfish. But when we started to talk in real life I changed my opinion about them and started treat to them much better, because I realized that they are quite nice guys.
So, I think it’s OK if you’re trying to create an image of a person using his or her photos, but the best way to know about anyone is having a conversation with this person.
