selfie???

[billy_big_bud!]

ok...i consider myself, old school, new school, and school of hard knocks. however, i have been struggling for a few years now with this whole selfie movement. essentially a picture or often series of pictures of ones self, taken by ones self for the pleasure and amusement of the rest of the world?....what am i missing? i will tell you. the why? why do i think i am so amazing that 90% of the people i know are going to want to see a random pic of me alone either with duck lips, a bathroom shot, posing with a pet, a pair of my news kicks and belt on...ect. really? i think the rest of the world is genuinely that interested in me that they will derive enjoyment from this? really? i think that? dont get me wrong. i already know i am three kinds of awesome. but random pics of me for the pleasure of others? to be honest the thought fucking nauseates me. as highly as i think of my self, capturing random pics of myself to show other just feels plain retarded. can anyone enlighten me? oh..and i wont even mention how ungangster it is. that is a whole other story.

I like how they sell selfy sticks at gas stations and other convenient stores now.

Drive highway 1, thats all you see.

Trapwire comes to mind.

Selfies help when you're trying to meet girls online and get laid. They're also helpful in bodybuilding where you can see your progress over time. Progress pics are one of the biggest motivators for recreational bodybuilders.

Selfier are so idiotic that last year 15 people have died for a stupid photo,let's think for a moment.....
I can understand a 14 years stupid kid,but a woman or a men 40's 50's!?!?!?
Internet is a resource,but it made a lot of stupid people.....

The only people I know that commonly take selfies are teenagers and troubled adults. Usually means low self esteem in adults.

The only thing worse than an adult commonly taking selfies, are the comments. "You go girl" "hash tag awesome"......

if you are charting physical progress that is an animal all its own and perfectly understandable. i mean the other 99%. i am actually trying to get laid online and thats why this thread happened. i am stuck between wanting to meet chicks and needing pics to do so, and my absolute disgust for taking selfies. for the record i feel equally nerdy asking someone to take pics of me which is essentially a selfie snapped by someone else. im not unattractive but have always felt weird about taking pics. am i being too sensitive or is it actually as creepy as it feels? before it became the cool thing to do is it not a really weird thing to do unless you are one of those super hot vain chick who thinks her shit dont stink?

I'll send you a selfie of my "D#%}" and I'm sure you will get a date

As someone with two teenagers I can agree that selfie's are totally retarded, lol. But that's the trend with todays youth. I also agree that an adult that takes selfie's on the regular has some issues with self esteem.

There is good that comes from them though. My daughter who regularly takes them, entered a modeling contest because of her friends liking her selfie's. If she gets a modeling contract, I feel my opinion of selfie's might change, lol.

Selfie-sticks should be renamed narcissi-sticks

There's nothing wrong with having a few decent pictures of yourself in case a nice girl might want an idea about what you look like. And when she's sees it's actually you when and if you meet up in person she'll be psyched that you didn't lie about anything yet.

Agreed FF. qft.


imo, worse than the selfies themselves is the fact that everybody's cellphones have become traveling photo albums, and NO! I don't want to see where anyone's been, or the kids/grandkids, etc.......

We can call them EGO sticks...

[Tynehead Tom]

when I go on hunting trips with my friends or to parties ect, I take over the shoulder selfies, so I get everyone on the background and maybe a profile of my face.... almost like I didn't take the picture, someone over my shoulder did.
I do it so I can catch an image of myself and the people or activity in the background so I can look back and recreate those memories. I was doing that since I was a kid, long before internet, digital cameras and taylor swift squads.
I never really thought of it a "selfie" until one of my friends kids called it that last time we were all ice fishin.

 

[ZIO GREEN]

It's ok to do some pics for date a girl,when you travel or when you're in a party with friends,but why you should make a pic every moment of the day and everywhere you go with a stupid expression?!?!

To be,not to appear.....

 

[Slim Pickens]

So.You guys must be talking about a different kind of selfie.


Not that I would know anything about that sort of thing...but I heard about it once.
