That’s where a lot of drama seems to be starting nowadays.

I don’t like taking pictures. I’m guessing you’ve already figured that out.  That’s why you don’t see many pictures of myself floating around my blog. So for over a year my facebook profile picture was that of a comic.   Finally, at the end of April, I changed it to a picture of “me”. I would swear (except I don’t swear) I wasn’t  posing provocatively, and my boobs weren’t even showing!!  But, I kid you not, on that very same night I got  a bunch of  wall posts, tons of private messages, and half a dozen phone calls and the next day I even received a marriage proposal.  And unfortunately, the dude was sober. And he was so not joking.

I asked a male friend about the sudden influx of interest by the opposite sex and he graciously explained the situation to me:

Male friend: If a guy hasn’t seen you in a while, they may take a look at the new you and like the changes.
Me: *laughing* You’re kidding me right?
Male friend:  No, I’m being serious. I’m guilty of that, especially through the magic of facebook

Nice. I love hearing how the male brains work.

Oh and if you are wondering if I accepted that marriage proposal…heck no! So girls,  changing a facebook picture can change your life. You have been warned.
