I just don't get why so many girls take so many pics of themselves, at every moment of the day, and post them all around the internet. I know it's easy to say but, people/guys find me pretty, i have a nice face and body and i'm fairly smart i believe and have ambition, i just care more about "real" things than expensive jewlery and don't see the point of taking pictures of only myself for the sake of it or to show the entire mankind i look nice. How can u spend time on that...

Anyways, what do you guys think of it, what would you think of a girl who's on every social network and has 100 pictures of only herself on the internet, trying to look pretty, sexy, sometimes pouting a bit, posing, or even pics of herself in the mirror in a bikini or the new mini shorts or tiny skirt...i know one girl who is like this, and she even posted pictures of 10 super expensive perfumes she had just bought. Seriously... what's the point...

Do you guys find it nice when girls do this, or does it send a negative signal (superficial, shallow, attention seeking...) ? And what would you think of a girl who's good looking but doesn't do at all any of those things ?

I don't know, but that "duck face" thing has to go.

I'd rather have the non self absobed pretty girl who couldn't give a **** less what the internet thinks of her.

It's a fairly new thing and likely isn't going away unless all of a sudden we decide to roll up social media and go back to the days when you had to LOL with your friends in person or not at all. I don't think all people who plaster selfies everywhere are vain. I agree with the duck lip comment. I think most of the time they are going for "sexy" but they usually just end up looking goofy. In fact, when I first started noticing the Mallard-lip phenom, I thought it was a joke. My wife shook her head and told me the girl in the picture was trying to look sexy.

I really agree. Some People in general post dozens of pics during every activity. Many do this expecting comments of praise. I think every photo they expect more comments and elaborate praise. They post photos of themselves doing everything from eating lunch to going to the mall. I also feel like many live with the smartphones glued to their hands. I mean, how much is too much? Everything about some people is posted.

Sounds like a situation which borders on social media addiction to me. I prefer people who can put down the phone to spend quality time together, and who do not feel a need to share every last detail of their lives with the world.

There seems to be a very big number of people who really can´t live without telling the world where they are, what they´ve been doing, what they´re eating...also posting tons of pictures.

More and more I´ve been seeing so many people who can´t put their phones down and are always on some social media.I call them 'digital zombies' and I prefer people who haven´t turned into one.

Yep gotta say most of my daughters freinds are pretty girls and they dont seem to have the need to post thier pics or selfies as they call them everywhere . It is ridiculous how some people have turned into digital zombies and I want to be friends with people who are definately not digital zombies .

What's worse is the moms that post pics new pics of their kid/kids everyday. I love kids I want to have a couple of my own someday, but enough is enough. Aww, the baby made a mess. That's adorable and totally unique to your baby. Thanks for sharing!

The ones with the ducklips and poses, etc., I think H O. That's all.

Much more attractive to be normal.
