In my days at Windice, I have delighted in meeting many users with extraordinary profiles, with different tastes, which has led me to wonder what their choice is when choosing what to put in their profile. That although we believe that we play only with numbers, in reality we also play with something else, our identity. The profile is not just an image. It is a clue, a message, sometimes even a mask. Without saying a single word, we are already communicating something; how we think, how we want to be seen or even how we feel that day. And the interesting thing is that, we don't always do it consciously. I described it in this fun way.
The fixed profile user (the immutable one)
This user chooses an image and it stays there. Months, years without changes. What can this tell us? They are looking for stability, they have a clear or at least defined identity. He does not feel the need for constant validation. It is usually associated with people with a more consistent and structured style. They don't change easily but when they do, it's because something important really happened.
The one that changes every week (the digital chameleon)
Today anime, tomorrow landscape, past, meme. It greatly reflects your high emotional expression, you may have a creative or exploratory personality, perhaps a need for social adaptation. You can relate to people who are in constant search for identity or experimentation. It's not that they don't know who they are, it's that they like to be many versions of themselves.
The familiar user (the one who shows their real world)
Photos with children, partners, parents. There is no character here, there is real life. This type of user usually conveys a lot of confidence, a sense of belonging, pride in their surroundings, it reflects a more integrated identity, they do not need to separate their online life from their real life. It can also indicate a need to show values "this is what is important to me."
The otaku user (the expressive one by affinity)
Characters from anime, manga or Japanese culture. But it is not just taste, it is identification. This user usually connects with deep stories and emotions. Choose characters with whom they feel reflected. Use the profile as an extension of their internal world, which is associated with the projection of choosing an image that represents what we feel, admire or even what we want to be.
The user according to their mood (the visible emotional one)
Today he is happy
change profile
Tomorrow is serious
change profile
Past, who knows
This user uses his image as an emotional state.
Reflecting a high connection with your emotions, a need for immediate expression or constant non-verbal communication. It is like a visible state of mind. You don't write how you feel, it shows it.
The mysterious one (without photo or with symbol)
Without an image or just a symbol. This profile usually says more than it seems, it protects its privacy, it maintains a notable emotional distance, it is an observer rather than a participant. It may be linked to more reserved or analytical people, who prefer to look rather than expose themselves.
The aesthetic (everything has to look perfect)
Combined colors, careful style, polished image, nothing is casual. This user is looking for image control, notable more in women with an aesthetic desire that is not real but dreamed of. Visual harmony, aesthetic coherence of the self-presentation of how we want to be perceived, influencing every detail.
The memeator (the one who doesn't take anything seriously)
His profile makes you laugh or tries to confuse you. But behind that there is something interesting, and that is that he uses humor as an identity. Perhaps a possible mechanism to avoid showing vulnerability, because sometimes, laughing is also a way to protect yourself.With everything described and enjoyed, the real game, in the end, is that the profile does not completely define who you are but it does leave clues. In each image there is a feeling of what you want to show, what you want to hide or what you are feeling. And in Windice, where we all look at numbers, we also end up reading people.
