I’m of the view that social media is a useful source of information about people. Otherwise, why would HR departments worldwide be digging into it to gather information about prospective employees. Having said that, one must also use caution when stumbled upon something unexpected there and ask themselves following questions:

1- Does this profile genuinely belong to this person? Can this picture be Photoshop’ed or stolen?
2- Am I without flaws?
3- Is some opinion a constant seen throughout someone’s post on a certain topic or its just an aberration?
4- How much time does the profile owner must have invested in the upkeep of the profile?
5- Last but not the least, ask yourself if the profile owner is trying to convey a message through their profile and perhaps has gone overboard with it? I met some new immigrants from Korea, Vietnam, etc. and noticed they were trying too hard to fit-in and be accepted. They rejected everything that uniquely belonged to their culture and wholeheartedly adopted some extreme Hollywood ideals. I view it as a culture-shock in reverse which can start to take root when a person is already in his/her home country filling out visa application forms. Some people come out of that shock soon and some don’t.

so in other words unless they’re pretending to interested in you and it turns out their married, or you see something major about their lifestyle that you dont like (they go clubbing idk) it is a lousy way to judge someone…from thier likes,shares and comments alone
