How often do you take pictures of yourself?

50 comments

1. Never, that’s why the pictures of my dating profile are just holiday pictures of me.

2. I have one picture in which you can see my entire face.

3. Never

4. Almost never. Maybe once a year, usually to compare pictures of how my weight loss journey is coming along. Then I store that away and continue life.

5. Just every now and then. Less than 3 a month.

6. I’d say never, but I did so a few weeks ago when I was looking for new glasses.

7. Every few days, depending on if I’m having a good hair day

8. Never.

9. Just myself – almost never. With my daughter or dog too, often.

10. Rarely, if I’m overseas or something. That’s about all

11. Up until now never. Trying to change that.

12. Very rarely, only real time is when I’m traveling for work and I’ll send a selfie to the wife and kids at some landmark or something

13. Once a month or never lol ugly problems

14. Never. There’s no reason for me to do that.

15. Never. Maybe a goofy one with my nieces every 2-4 months, maybe.. I’m ugly as fuck lmao no need to remind myself

16. Very rarely

17. Never, because I’m not photogenic, and I dislike how my face looks. Also I cannot smile while on camera; it feels too…performative and scripted.

18. i avoid it at all costs. i tend to avoid the mirror(s) at my home too.

    i’m just not a good look dude.

    The last time I took a selfie was when the uni i attend requested a photo of my face for the student ID card we must have in order to participate in proctored exams.

    apart from that, probably years ago when I tried online dating.

19. I see guys taking pics of themselves at the gym ALL the time

20. Never. Why would I? Seems weird even as an idea.

21. Once every year maybe.

22. only to make silly faces to send to friends on snapchat

    so maybe like once a week

23. NEVER

24. When I feel like I have to. For a profile picture or a CV or some such.

25. I take selfies through out the day when im bored at home. I either think “there’s no way I’m that handsome ” or “there’s no way I’m that ugly “

26. The latest photo I have of myself is over 10 years old.

27. I notice I enjoy taking pictures when my mental health is taken care of. When I’m fed and happy taking a selfie is a fun way to spend a few minutes. Also fun to send to friends as conversation starters!

28. Last selfie I took was two years ago

29. Rarely, unless I’m trying to show someone something and I end up in the photo I’m trying to send them.

30. Only with friends and family even then I try to avoid them

31. only when i’m in beautiful places

32. Once in a magenta moon

33. Only if someone wants to take a pic with me

34. Pretty much never. I do like to flex in front of a full body mirror though, mostly because I’ve been lifting and have dropped 60lbs in the last year.

35. Rarely because I don’t like the way I look in photos.

36. Always thought men taking selfies was kind of cringe. Actually I think it’s cringe for women too, it’s just more generally accepted.

37. Never

38. This should be in r/AskWomen probably. Men mostly never take selfies.

39. I am a man

40. When I need a new passport.

41. Standalone pictures only once or twice in a year. Upon request from parents.
    With friends and pets – plenty

42. Never really. I got a professional picture taken which I use for most work stuff (on my employee card, on the company person database/website, etc.) And I go to the photographer here when I need a biometric picture for government ID, like every ten years.

43. Never and I try to avoid having pictures taken of me.

44. Basically never. Occasionally on vacation or something me and the wife will take one, but that’s about it

45. I agree. I don’t understand how people can be obsessed with taking their picture and posting it for the world to see. Just to get compliments?

46. Very occasionally, like if it’s a joke response to a text or something.
    I’ll also take pics with my girlfriend but that’s something i do for her benefit, the very thought of a selfie makes me cringe

47. To buck the trend, I take photos of myself, or have other people take photos of me quite frequently. Last selfie was saturday, out at a festival. I used to have quite poor self-image, but it’s grown over the years until I like how I look.

    I don’t take hundreds of photos, just one during the event to put onto whatsapp, then put the phone away.

48. I have almost never thought to take pictures. If I’m doing something I’m just thinking about doing that, not necessarily sharing it with the Internet or whatever

49. By myself? Alone? Why would I do that, I’m a man not a woman.

50. My ID is a missing child poster and my passport is a fugitive on the run. So no I avoid at all costs.
