In a recent study from the University of Missouri, "the comments your Facebook friends leave on your profile picture strongly affect your level of perceived physical, social and professional attractiveness." As Seoyeon Hong, a doctoral candidate in journalism, adds that the more comments, especially positive ones, a person receives, "the more attractive they’re perceived to be."
Surprisingly, the study also pointed out that pictures of people playing sports or a musical instrument received more positive feedback than head shots. Maybe you'll think twice about what profile picture you put up on Facebook now, right?
