Selfies

Dave! I can so relate, every photo I take of my oh ever is scrutinised beyond belief, over 80% are deleted.

I've stopped bothering now.

I get to see some cracking self absorbed selfies on my Facebook feed.

My fave is the one that loves her "make up free selfies" yeah no one can tell you have applied filters love or the like totally random selfie she posts , yeah random apart from the staging of shot, hair, makeup, lighting, compulsory duck face pose and half a dozen photo filters.

Ditto except i'm always quizzed on why I never have any photo's of us!! :beer:

I always take loads of selfies, because I am a bit of a show-off. But only about 5% of them ever see the light of day

I don't think I have ever taken a selfie. Not intentionally anyway.

I HATE selfies. Fair enough, if it is out at a special thing, like a concert or a bar with your mates and it's a one off thing but the 500 'casually sitting here doing nothing yet looking surprisingly well' posted to FB drive me crackers!

I'll hold my hands up and say I do them when I look half decent which these days isn't very often. I'd say 98% of them are deleted though. I tend to use them as profile pics on here, Facebook, Instagram, google+, Whatsapp etc.

I don't pull duckfaces though.:rotfl:

Back in the day, i used to take a lot of selfies (or as they were back then myspace posing pictures). Its the only kind of picture of myself i like. Mainly cos i'm fat and its a more flattering angle. Thankfully on facebook i have to approve anything before i get tagged so there are no pictures of me that are bad ones allowed

I have one but have never taken a picture of just me. Ever, I think.

But they're really good for group shots. Honestly!

I got a stick after my friend took one to a party for groups shots. I must admit I do take the odd selfie but it is once in a blue moon when I'm having a particularly good day or I'm trying out new makeup/ hair. I hardly upload any to social media though.

And dont get me started on food shots. I'm thinking of getting rid of snapchat because of all the coffee photos I get sent. Yes, you went to Starbucks, yes they got your name wrong. It happens to everyone!

I struggle with all this nonsense of taking photos of yourself at every available moment. And don't get me started about the duckface thing..... If I want to see what i look like I have some perfectly serviceable mirrors. Just smacks to me of total vanity...

**wanders off grumbling**

Totally agree
