On facebook if you had a picture it speaks a million words?

[starcraftstrategist]

So I made a facebook account. I didn't add any of my real friends yet just people on facebook randomly. Didn't even put a picture of myself on there. Whenever I post on walls or something interesting nobody ever replies, but whenever a friend of mine who's some young chinese underage girl post something on wall immediately she gets a million replies from people all over the country who don't even know her personally.
Do people just ignore you if you don't have a picture of yourself what''s the deal?
This girl I know he befriends strangers, people not in her country or know her personally. She gets a bunch of hits as if they were close family.
