Selfies for Real Men
It's almost obvious: selfies are none of our business. Photographing yourself, your mighty beetle or the squares on your belly is a narcissism that doesn’t make a man look good! Recently, Instagram has revealed an alarming trend: the number of self-photos that men do has increased significantly. It’s one thing when it’s a frankly banal photo, designed to show the world that its author despises the idea of a selfie and openly laughs at it. Another thing is when a dude poses, proving to the world that he is a stunning handsome, star and alpha male.
So why can't a man take a selfie seriously?
Selfies are for women
No one is surprised that women are obsessed with their appearance. This is their main weapon in the war of the sexes! It's useless to even blame. Girls have been hammered into their heads all their lives that first you have to be beautiful, and then you have to be smart and happy and all that. This resulted in a desire to show the world what she is so indecently proud of: her beauty and care for her. To be jealous. For them, it is a way to show their life from all sides, including the emotional part of it. Girls take selfies because they are bored or happy. Blaming typical ladies for the abundance of self-photos on Instagram and other social networks is almost the same as scolding children for what they draw in an album for drawing kalyaks. If you don't have boobs, don't take selfies!
Selfies are not manly.
In a good way, a man is allowed to have no more than three photos of himself: the first is the first day of school, the second is for a driver's license, the third - if they are not very lucky - on the wedding day. But we'll certainly exaggerate that. There are enough photos that show that a person is growing. Can you imagine Clint Eastwood and all the other really courageous dudes posing in front of the mirror to take a picture of themselves in a funny new T-shirt? Only if they don't do it seriously. If you have a Batman costume, taking selfies is officially allowed, it's funny!
Selfies are needed to be looked at.
No, don't argue with us! This automatically means that you care about people’s opinions. You chase comments and likes, it can hardly be called decent behavior for anyone! The passion for taking photos like this also shows that deep down you are a little boy who is lost in the big world.
If you don't have enough attention, go to your mom.
Selfies are shallow
If you seriously think you're making an incredible contribution to society by taking pictures of yourself in different poses, you're a very weird dude. If you think that selfies are a way of expressing yourself, then this is a very small way. It’s like drawing a picture on the margins of a notebook and being really proud of it, because it’s creativity! Or it’s like writing a story from one line. You want to express yourself? Do it for real. Taking pictures of yourself is a very dubious waste of time, read a book!
Selfie doesn't help you get a girlfriend
Old Hugh Hefner, the creator of Pl*yboy magazine, made millions of dollars and a huge mansion with women, just getting pictures from them. You think you can get their attention if they see your mighty beetle? Surely there will be ladies who will like your beautiful body, but no more likes or stupid comments in the spirit of “What a fuck you are!” Don’t expect that after you put a photo on the social network, the doorbell will ring, and on the threshold there will be a gorgeous woman who will throw off her clothes with a loud cry: “Take me!” Smart girls laugh at a dude's attempt to take a selfie because they don't see your cool muscles, they see the ordinary narcissism and demands of attention that amuse them.
Selfie makes you either a narcissist or a person with complexes
Why do girls take selfies? To admire oneself and show others that they wish or envy. Why do men take selfies? In fact, the goals of men and women photographing themselves are no different. Same attempt to get approval, brag about your life and occupy yourself. Most of those who self-photo suffer from narcissism or try to show the world that they do not have complexes about their appearance and are completely satisfied with it.
As a conclusion.
A man can photograph himself in an exceptional setting. First of all, if he stands against the background of something really out of the ordinary. This is proof that he was there and saw everything with his own eyes. Second, for the sake of bantering the very idea of selfies, because this fashion really deserves to be ridiculed and blamed. Third, a dude can take a picture of himself in a really stupid or funny outfit, for example, in a superhero costume or a movie character. Well, the fourth case: the man is funny crooked. Anything other than that is shameful and a waste of time.
