How Many Friends Post Unflattering Facebook Pics?

Jen Austin — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 14:52:18 +0000

Most of us have done it. We’ve posted a picture to our Facebook profiles and tagged a friend, and that picture doesn’t exactly show the friend’s best side. Sometimes it’s a drunk photo, sometimes it’s goofy, and sometimes friends just don’t like it and say, “why in the world did you post THAT? My hair isn’t right. I look fat. I don’t have makeup on. Thanks a lot.”

A few months ago I was at a face-painting party and this devilish photo ended up on Facebook. It’s not an awful pic, but it’s not an everyday look and showcases the large forehead that I work so hard to disguise.

How many Facebook users admit to posting unflattering photos of their friends?
