How often do you change your profile photo on Face Book?I like to change mine every couple of days,I'm on there alot.I see alot of people have a profile photo that I'm very sick of looking at.I really wish these people would put something else there.I joined about a year ago and most people still have the same photo posted on their profile.I don't say anything to them,because I don't want to sound offensive,but I think everyone gets sick at looking at the same old photo like that.How often do you change your picture?

I haven't ever changed my profile photo on facebook. I used to try to change it on myspace sometimes. But I got tired of doing it and I don't take pictures of my self very often! So I just leave the one I like up there!

That's right, to change picture you need pictures of yourself. I don't have a lot and I don't really like many of the ones my friends have of me. And taking a picture of myself in the mirror wearing strange make-up like my teenage friends isn't too tempting :-) Or a picture of myself on the toilett, I had one friend who had that.

Pick your best photo and stay with it! All your on-line friends know you by this photo. Believe me, they don't get sick of seeing an old friend's photo. When you change photos they may not recognize you, and therefore may not respond. This could cost you money. Do you really think its worth losing money, just for the sake of your own vanity?

Although, i have a lot of profile pictures, i have not changed mine for over 2 months. I guess i like my profile to be one of a mature and do you notice that, only youth frequently change their profile pix. I guess its fun to them but not to me either.

Hi, Java09. On Facebook, I hardly will change my profile picture like that. I hardly log onto this site. My picture remains the same. But as for myLot. I may change my picture every three to four months, depending on my mood. I will have to find this picture again, because I don't have it saved on my computer. I think that it got deleted. So, I will have a hard time trying to save this one.

Hi Java, I have never changed my profile pic. In fact I did change once and someof my friends wanted me to have the same pic , since they had got used to it. So I changed back agaion to the same one... So what you say is not entirely true. I too get that familiar feeling when I see my friends pics. When a person is changing his/her pics every other day, it becomes very difficult to identify them- my opinion for what its worth - have a great evening

usually when i decide to upload a photo orpicture in my profile, i'll choose the best one and once i upload, i seldom change them. for i think this photo can represent me and i'll let it represent me forever in this profile.

Hi Java09! I am frequently on Facebook. That is why I have the luxury of time to change my profile photo quite frequently. Well, not everyday though. But I make sure that the picture I have on my profile is changed from time to time. Sometimes I choose from recently created albums.

I changed my profile photo everytime I have vacations or special events. It is meaningful to celebrate those great time in facebook, so that I can feel motivated and change positively

Every once in a while, say every month or so, I change my profile pic. But i change it often whenever I have a really good photo of myself.

I change my profile picture occasionally, as soon as I have a new photo taken which looks good or whenever I have something I want so bad. My current profile picture is a Parisienne, YSL new perfume. I'll take it off when I buy the real thing. I don't hate it when people have the same photo in years. Because I add a lot of friend for applications like restaurant city, happy farm or pet society... And there're some people usually change their profile picture, which make me was like "did I visit this person yet, oh geez"

Not very often. I think I've had 3 pictures in 3 years. And all of them have involved horses. Hmmm, maybe I need a new one with my camera in it? :-)

I dont change my photo all that often. I probably change it once every three to four months. The one that I have on now is from August 2009 and I havent really bothered changing it, besides I queit like that picture. Changing once every two days is way too often I think. I do have some friends who change it very often, but must change it once in a while. Either way, I dont really see any problems.

I don't change mine often on Facebook or any other sites that I'm on so I'm afraid you'd get sick and tired of looking at mine real quick. LOL I do tend to use a real picture of me in my avatars, but don't get my picture taken often. I'm usually the one doing the picture taking anyway, if I get the chance, and as I'm more into taking pictures of other things than I am of myself it's no wonder I don't update my avatar on these sites more often. Happy mylotting!

If you were my facebook friend, you might get sick of my profile pic as well lol. i think i have had it for over a year now. i tried to change it once but i reverted to it. I am also fond of taking pictures but i just dont feel like changing my profile pic often. If ever I change that pic in the future, it would be with something as artistic and cool. My current picture is a picture of me during the a very special turning point in my life. the picture was taken artistically though candid. If i get a picture with the same quality and importance, i will definitely use it. :D

most of the times i never like to change the profile picture ,becuas emost of the people are familier with you by your profile picture and so to keep same foto for our profile for long time it gives us constant touch from people
