Brilliant. That never occurred to me!

If we can all agree that Asian females are obsessed with selfies, I think it flies in the face of the values they're taught by parents.... humility, for example. So, I don't think its that, exactly.

Perhaps it is just a marketing tool. I wonder if there's any correlation between singles and those in relationships. That would be interesting.

I see no need to put my face into a photo just to prove I was there. I took the photo, after all. That's proof enough for me. I take maybe 2-3 a year while traveling so I can send them to the wife. No particular reason. I usually have my clothes on, too.

Now, selfies with friends & family I can understand. You're just basically functioning as a third-party photographer in that situation.

I hate facebook. I hate twitter now they have that algorithm shows me feed from a decade ago first then the latest news at last. I quit them both long time ago. Life is better without them. I am on instagram following pelican guys and porsche content only. I only share my build but nothing else. I am not interested in what people eat, where they took a dump nor their night out. Probably soon i will quit ig as well.

Coming to the selfie debate. I think what op is referring to those chicks post pics every day showing their dress, make up etc. Imho it is a poor practice of self branding.

If a person posting up their family portrait from their trip to Hawaii, i am okay, because it presents a value to them, it is a memory they are sharing. Similar to showing pics.

But posting up at the club with a drink in hand or showing new LB high heels is cheap. Most chicks attempt to mimick celebrities who post selfies to stay update with fans.
