Very interesting article and has implications both for your online 'image' and real life -- but at the same time I personally think self/alone shots are generally more interesting/alluring to the eye and in general "pop" more (especially when you consider a very good-looking 'model' type or someone with an interesting face/expression). A mix of both is actually the best way to go probably.

But what if all your friends are more attractive than you? Wouldn't that be a contrasting effect?

I have not come to the same conclusions as them in my testing of profile pictures...I rarely notice much difference depending on pictures I use as long as I look roughly the same "attractiveness level" in them. A picture of what you actually look like plus a great profile is the key to success online, moreso than "picture optimization".
