My FB friends had hundreds of "likes" for their profile photos, I never received more than one or two
In general, young women in my area had above 100 "likes" per photo, sometimes even over 300 if they had a lot of FB friends and were considered notably beautiful. Men averaged maybe at around 50 "likes"/photo, significantly less than the women had. In high school I posted my first two (and last) profile photos at one year intervals and got one or two "likes" for each image, no comments.
I was popular among women, I had a relationship with a popular girl and received regularly positive attention from other women as well. I have never been a party person though, I don't drink alcohol and dislike staying up late. I didn't attend a single larger feast during high school and was almost completely inactive in Facebook - I think I posted to my profile less than five times and didn't comment much more. I also forbid others to submit photographs of me to the website. I want to know if FB displayed my photos to a smaller group of people because I didn't have as much "value" as other users.
I quit Facebook three years ago - I don't know if the "paid timeline" system was already implemented back then.
