Show me your profile on the social network and I will tell you who you are

You met a man, exchanged phone numbers, perhaps went on a first date … He is a prince in the flesh and a real colonel, and I want to know as much as possible about him: who, where, where, from where and what his foot size is. In America, it has long been a practice to "Google" any person with whom circumstances confront. Why not? The Internet has leaked into our lives so much that even the most introverted hermit can be found there, and even more so about ordinary residents of the metropolis. Even more than we would like. However, why search engines if a modern girl has social networks in her arsenal?

Someone will object: why? Why find out the inside story, if over time a person will reveal himself? Firstly, if women have the opportunity to immediately weed out the “inappropriate” applicant for a hand / heart / body, then why not use it, instead of wasting time and nerves on it.

What, in your opinion, can an interested girl find out about you on the VKontakte page (or other social network)?

Ruslan, 30 years old: "Can find out the circle of friends, common acquaintances, interests (by groups)."

Dmitry, 29 years old: "Can find out about my interests, social circle, education and place of work; guess about the financial situation. How? From the photo - appearance, presence / absence of an expensive car. It is very indicative that the guy is reposting."

Sergey, 30 years old: "What can a girl get by looking at my page:? 1) Hobbies - tourism, bicycles. 2) A man is open, a bunch of publics of all sorts, a long wall. 3) There are no pictures of the car? Strange, most likely, he does not have a Bentley:)) 4) Maybe he will guess that he danced before, because there is a video of dancing, and if you strain, you can see me."

Mikhail, 26 years old: "That I'm a pretty, songwriter, kid, that's it."

Alexey, 40 years old: “Status is important: how competently, tempting, cleverly written.

Maxim, 29 years old: "You will learn little about me from my page, because it is not heavily painted like some. In general, I am not a public person, and the information on my page is rather scarce."

Secondly, information on social networks is freely available. Moreover, it is often a kind of self-presentation, a way to tell the world about yourself. A person seeks to share something that is close to him, even to boast. You just "listen" carefully. Thirdly, knowledge is power: if you really like a man, you can use the hints that he himself gives us in conquering him. And finally, fourthly, nobody canceled the banal female curiosity, there is no need to go against nature.

And now, it happened! You went to his VKontakte / Facebook / Odnoklassniki page (the rest are less informative, but also useful). What can you learn about a man if you take a closer look?

Nothing!

It is important to remember that on the Internet we appear as we want to appear - better, more beautiful, more popular, more successful. Therefore, any information about your chosen one will have to be passed through the filter of common sense and personal experience (you have already met him personally, which means that most of the information about him has already been "counted" subconsciously).

However, by analogy with recruiting, a resume to a recruiter can also say nothing or say a lot. It all depends on how carefully he will read and compare the information with a real person sitting in front of him.

So what do we learn about a man from his page on the social network?

1. Hobbies and interests

The most obvious thing. Information about this is just pouring into your head from all sides. Look at the photo, read the records that your chosen one has kept on his wall so as not to lose. See which groups he is in, which public pages he is subscribed to, whose profiles he is tracking. You will instantly distinguish workout fans from Putin supporters. Some particularly pedantic or responsible males even fill in personal information about themselves, where they write: “Yes, I love rap, I read Playboy and I admire Michael Jordan” (what is not a reason to admire him somehow inadvertently?).

Some particularly pedantic or responsible males even fill in personal information about themselves.

2. Truly personal information

This can include the date of birth (who is he according to the horoscope, by the way?), The nickname (yes, some men indicate it next to the name), the place of birth (this is not snobbery at all, but the native Petersburgers certainly differ in their outlook from the boys from Chelyabinsk). If the profile is filled in in detail, you can easily find out with just one click of the mouse what his favorite TV shows, films, series, musical works are; which countries he visited.

3. IQ and educational level

Of course, the name of the university he graduated from and the specialty he received will tell you a little: only that he has a higher education. But the level of literacy, and the results of thought processes will certainly be reflected in the status, independent notes on the wall (not reposts), aphorisms saved on the wall.

4. Work and its place in the picture of the world

The fount of information is the wall. It is on the wall that you can see a lot of reposts on the topic of plastic windows, announcements of purchase and sale, or advice for those wishing to make a rapid career. The more such interesting records only he has, the more important work is for him, if even on social networks it does not go out of his head.

5. Sense of humor

The best proof of this is good captions for bad photos. However, if there are jokes, humorous pictures or ironic aphorisms on the wall, this is also a good sign.

6. Attitude to your appearance and to yourself, your beloved

No options: see the photos! If there are a lot of them, and on each of them he, he and again he, no comments … If there are many of them, and not one of them, we recall the ad “Seryozha's camomile, Vasya's cartoons”. In general, your chosen one has complexes. If in most of the photographs HE does cool things in cool places - credit! If in most of the photos he shows his tongue in the club, hugging half-naked go-go girls, this is a reason to think: worse than a man who has stopped developing at the level of a teenager, there can only be a man who has stopped developing at the level of a teenager and is proud of it.

We, women, also, of course, love to post a photo of ourselves "5 years and 10 kilograms ago," but, you must admit, this is less typical for men.

A separate conversation is the avatar. The picture that everyone sees, even strangers. The picture behind which we hide or with the help of which we demonstrate our "I". Far-reaching conclusions, of course, are not worth making. But if the avatars replace each other with photos in the style of “I'm on the cover of Men’s Health”, then we have either a narcissist or a man in constant search. We, women, also, of course, love to post a photo of ourselves "5 years and 10 kilograms ago", but, you must admit, this is less typical for men. If, after a couple of dates with you, the avatar changes to something less catchy for a woman's eyes, you can relax a little.

What would you advise a girl to pay attention to when studying the page of a man she is interested in on a social network?

Ruslan, 30 years old: "If a guy watches Smurfs and talks about it on the page, you should be on your guard."

Dmitry, 29 years old: "Subscriptions to 'stupid' groups, such as 'brother for brother', possibly numerous photos with different girls should be alarming."

Sergey, 30 years old: "Secretly … Most guys do not fill out their page completely, using it only to meet girls, just communicate. Not everyone wants to tell everything about themselves. abroad; photos that show his dignity and coolness."

Mikhail, 26 years old: "Look for the main thing - status: not married, photo: alone or with a girlfriend, hobbies, groups."

Alexey, 40 years old: "Unambiguously, if there is some (sorry) garbage on the avatar, and not a personal photo, then you shouldn't communicate with this copy at all. Even if he" lures "with beautiful and clever words-phrases - that's not him, he stole!"

Maxim, 29 years old: "I advise you to focus on the photographs. How the MCH behaves in the picture, in what company he is. Each of us strives to stand out from the general stream. You can write anything on the page itself, but the photographs posted on the network will not lie, all want to emphasize their achievements. What are his photos: in a drunken company with a bottle of beer in his hand or in photographs he is a modest goal-oriented guy. The social circle, the list of friends is also important. "Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are." of his friends? Who is more in the circle of friends, guys or girls? Which of them can be seen more often in photographs in his environment, who often appears on his wall and what publishes there. In principle, a web page is just the first impression of a person, and it is often deceptive. Hence the conclusion: like a person - do not bother with his page on the network, only "live" communication will tell the whole truth about him."

7. Favorite music

House and rap fans are very different from connoisseurs of classical music - and this is not a stereotype at all. I am sure that you have communicated with both those and others - and you have already formed persistent addictions to certain types. So study - and draw conclusions!

What else is worth paying attention to:

saved photos

You have noticed that we save only those photos that "catch" us (an exception is the photos in which we are with friends, which are also useful to study). Really catchy. It remains only to guess what exactly your chosen one is hooked on, and to realize whether the same thing hooks you.

common acquaintances

To some of them - it depends, of course, on the proximity of acquaintance - you can ask for help / information / recommendation about your chosen one.

frequency of updates on the wall

If the entries are numerous and appear every 15 minutes, most of them are of the following content: "I ate a burrito," 15 minutes later - "my stomach hurts", and another 20 minutes later - "thank God, it’s gone. thank you, white friend!”), most likely you have a rival. More precisely, a rival, and in competition you will always lose to him. Have you guessed? That's right: a smartphone! The fallback is the man's ego. The third version is Internet addiction. Agree, it is alarming …

It remains only to add that social networks are the best training for deductive abilities and a kind helper in conquering the man of interest. It is important to remember (and this has long been stated by psychologists and sociologists) that communication on social networks kills romantic relationships, so win your chosen one “in real life”. Good luck!
