    What is up with Facebook profile pictures?

    I think babies and animals are cute, but why do people use them as profile photos? Looking over my friends' pictures it seems that I am friends with several babies, dogs, cats, and even a bicycle. What is the deal? Seriously, this is not a rhetorical question, I really want to know. Are these kids, babies, objects the summation of your being, and thus it makes sense to use them as a representation of yourself? I understand that people love their kids, and that is all well and good, but I'm not friends with their kids, now am I? If I am, I'll friend them on their Facebook page. I am defiantly not friends with their animals or their mode of transportation. If you have any insight or opinion please leave it on this blog (http://wesley83.posterous.com/what-is-up-with-facebook-profile-pictures), and not Facebook.

    Extra points for following instructions.  :)

    A lot of females I know tend to get TONS of unsolicited request and unwanted attention if they just have a photo of themselves. I'm not saying this is 100% the case.. but I personally know a few who use this as a method to keep these types of request away.. I mean how many times a day do you want to get " Holla at ch4 B0i, B00" :)
