Not for dating, just to keep up with stuff I otherwise couldn't and some women here and there.
The point is that a profile that looks like it's a dating profile would be strange.
After thinking about the act of creating a new facebook profile, I would recommend to make the friend list invisible if the friend count is <100.
Got an idea for the cover photo?
I don't have a strong opinion about picking a cover photo. My own picture is from dancing.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
