Girls and Mirror Photos

I have to say, I'm usually confused with what women do most of the time but nothing confuses me more when they decide to take photos of themselves in the mirror. What is the point in doing this? Being my usual analytical self, they know they have a pretty face or a great figure yet they take a photo, post it up on social networking sites such as Facebook in the hopes that tons of guys will 'like' and be the envy of some of their girl friends. They'll also have a pout/duck face.

I mean look at her to the left. Yes, she is gorgeous and yes that is an amazing asset she has there but like I mentioned in the above paragraph, she clearly knows this. The fact that I have said she is gorgeous has also boosted her ego by reinforcing her belief that 'she's all that'. It is like most of these women want to be models and self-obsession in my opnion, should be considered more like a disease.

You are all aware of Sigmund Freud or I hope you are. Bit worrying if you've never heard of him but I shall continue. He mentions in his work that narcissism was not only a natural part of the human psyche but also a characteristic that if taken to an extreme level would prevent an individual from having meaningful relationships with others. A guy will look at a girl like this and say "yeh, I'd have sex with her but she isn't exactly wifey material". A girl who does this, really does not have much respect for herself so there is no point in taking her seriously.

These girls are excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity. If you've met me, you'll know I'm always moaning at how vain society is. It's a fact that most of these girls will probably go for the douchebag type which is just fucked up but nevermind.

I've been at this new gym since the end of last year and I've met some cool people. One guy is signed up to an online dating site and has an app on his phone.It's called Plenty of Fish. There are quite a lot of women on there who do this kind of stuff. All profiles basically saying they're looking for 'Mr. Right'. To be honest, it's filled with horney women wanting some action. So going forward a little bit, he messages them and they reciprocate. Next thing you know, these girls end up sending some naked pics to him. I don't quite understand how he does it. If you read their profiles, they specifically say

Don't send me dirty messages. I won't reply back.

If that was me, I'd be like "Ok. No dirty messages. Got it!" and then I'd send a meaningful message to which I won't even get a reply. He'd do it and BAM! There you go. Naked pics. So the lesson learned is that if a woman says one thing, do the opposite. Besides, it's not the kind of quality I find attractive in a woman who I'd like to date but at least once in my life I'd like this to happen to me for just the experience... haha.

This is a reply from some girl who does this kind of thing often on FB.

Well I do take pictures of myself for fun. Sometimes I want to see how a new style or makeup or hairdo looks. Sometimes I am just bored and I find photography fun. Sometimes I want to see how other people can see me.

I laughed at the"...find photography fun". Do you really? Go and do some actual photography then. Go for a walk with your camera and take photos of nature or a busy street and not photos of yourself in the mirror jeeeeeez. Some women want to know why men don't treat them right and give them the respect they deserve. The first step is to have respect for yourself. Only then will others give you some sort of respect and not treat you like some object. By taking photos of yourself like that, people are not going to take you seriously. I believe that FB and other social networking sites are helping produce more narcissistic individuals.
