Whether or not the subcultural signals are there or not, the only thing that matters if you want an explanation of the "1"s is whether many people would think that the subcultural signals are there. And I think that we've established that enough people not only think so, but don't understand why you can't see them.

Alright, since you've given the only remotely rational response, I'll pass the ball on to you. Would you be interested in making guesses about me based on my own OKC pictures, and then learning how right or wrong your guesses are?

If you don't comprehend signals, it's quite possible that everyone else is signalling (and thus signalling can be determined from their pictures) but you are not (and thus it can't be determined from yours). So looking at your own pictures isn't going to demonstrate anything useful.

I would prefer not to.
