Well, this is weird

[verycontrary247]

I'm 99.9% sure exH and his current love interest both stalk my facebook, since they're always popping up on my "recommended friends" list.

Today, I see the love interest pop up again, and kinda had to double take. I used to work at a photography studio, and exH and I had our pictures taken there on a few occasions. Love interest changed her profile picture....to one that is essentially a remake of a picture of me and exH. Similarities are uncanny. I can tell it was taken at the same studio. I'm kinda weirded out.

As a former studio photographer, I can say we were all trained on the exact same poses. And expected to follow a series of poses for every sitting.

Ditto. I had a list of poses I HAD to use (Stupid frigging sidelight...).

If this is how fb works, lhc and laz are both stalking me.

I don't think that's how it works though.

It's one thing if you have mutual friends, but we have none.

I know this, but still. Go somewhere else and take other pictures!

If you have their email addresses or names in your phone they will show up.

No

I would be flattered. In a weird sort of way!

I worry that I will show up in the people I stalks feed of people they may know.

Well, now you have a new photo stalker. DS (age 8) has commented on your sig pic before. Today he came in the room and said "I love that cat picture lady."

[mariafromnj]

I don't know if they are stalking you but I didn't know dating couples went for professional photo shoots. Besides engagement and wedding photos I got most couples just had pictures of them out doing things together.

[FastHands]

You're way over-analyzing on this one.

Don't have those either.

I wish it worked like that, because an old crush popped up on mine lol. I would like to think that he stalks me lol

That awful disgustoid who married my ex always shows up on mine. Bleh

I'm not on FB, but your face pops up in my feed on Instagram all the time and I am only following one MLer. I always look at what's there and then feel like a creeper, but it's really simple for these algorithms to make connections with the tiniest bits of contact. I wouldn't assume stalking unless you have other indicators.

Like PPs have said, I think the pose/photo thing is probably a canned thing they do at most studios.
