So well, guess what, that whole selfie-taking things is not so harmless for men.
A recent study by our thick-rimmed fellas in white dust-coats say men who take loads of selfies and post them online are likely to be psychopathic narcissists with Machiavellian tendencies.
Worse still, if you took time to edit them and all that, you my friend, have a higher than usual level of self-objectification. You love yourself. No, you have an unusual relationship with yourself.
OK ladies in case you are worried that the psychopathic nature may mean axe-murderer in the making, you can chill on that. The issues are just insecurities that result in egocentric behaviour and self-entitlement(narcissistic). Add anti-social behaviour and little to no empathy(psychopathic). Oh then there is manipulation and cynicism (Machiavellian).
Other than they say he is fine. Completely fine. OK not completely. They troll, cyberbully and solicit sex online.
OK creepy. But note that this is necessarily the case with your pouting fella who takes selfies every 30 seconds. There have to be a huge load (Oh gosh did we use that word) of factors that at play. According to the geeks, there can be that wee-little bit of psychopathy and narcissism which could be OK.
Still though… still erm, we just cared you a bit didn’t we?
Oh by the way this is from a sample of 800 people.
