They're just trying to see themselves more than they see the status quo vision of beauty, which is a skin and bones, big booby long leg white lady who's ready to get it on but just never will with ya. The Selfie Battalion might be shallow in the sense of adoring their own image in vanity, but I think Mr.Patterson hit the nail on the head. It's all from insecurity.
If you see a hundred pics of what you're supposed to look like all day, then you can take two hundred pics of yourself to be reassured that you're on the right track. They become a walking advertisement for themselves, and thereby a conduit for products and values of broad marketing schemers. For teenagers, and most women, this really is 'just a phase'. They will eventually grow out of it, but sometimes the wound can run very, very deep. They might be afraid to get into 'deep' or 'meaningful' territory for quite a long time.
Sheekle, just take one of their phones one night, or both ideally, and upload their day's stash onto your computer. Then, in an image editing software, make a chaotic collage with all four-hundred pictures. I mean chaotic, some of them upside down, varying sizes, images looking at each other, some with filters on them.... just make it look like a complete pscyho mess, and then print it out on a huge sheet of paper at an office printing store.
Paste it up in a place where they'll see it the next day, and then give them each a huge hug and say "you're beautiful, don't worry about what others think, just be yourself"

I think sheekle should take all their pics and mix them up and have them try to figure out who is who.

As always CS, an incredibly insightful response IMO. Nice work man.

He could always just take 200 dick picks. But don't do the same pose though that's lame. You can do the goat, see how much you can bend it, see if you can stretch it to your belly button, hell you could even get some finger paint and paint scales on it so it looks like a one eyed snake.

That's a pretty convoluted way of looking at this.
Picture to commemorate monumental achievement in bullshit vs Picture to commemorate taking a shit
She doubtless has other pictures, why the inane bathroom selfie?

It would also be a lot more of an achievement to 'get' to the moon than it would be to 'get' with that woman.
Hardly comparable.

I remember reading an article about "the most contacted woman on OkCupid" or some shit, she was giving pointers and tips for how to make your profile more appealing to viewers.
One of the things she suggested was taking a selfie of yourself in great lighting. She mentioned that Mac makeup stores have incredible lighting, and she was taking a bunch of selfies of herself in the store, and mentioned how she had to ask one of the workers there who was behind her shot to move out of the way of her selfie.
God, if that was me, I'd be mortified. "Yeah hi, can you please inconvenience yourself and move out of the way of my shot, so I can take the perfect selfie?" How narcissistic can you be.

ah, i would become so disgusted. i have no idea what id do, but humoring her would not be one of them lol.
the selfie scene is so weird man, the whole idea of even 'posing' for a picture freaks me out.
my sister also takes a lot of pictures she loves them, but they just freak me out .. you know that look people get when they are posing for the camera it is like they are frozen in time, no thought or anything.
now im thinking what if selfies is meditation lol xD no im joking..
but selfies are weird

Two students have drowned while taking selfies in a swelling river in a remote part of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Indian media reported that the accident happened while local students were picnicking on the banks of the Kosi river in Rampur district.
A police official said a group of boys went into the river and two ventured too far into deep water.
Several people have died in India while taking selfies over the last year...
...Last year, authorities also imposed a "no selfie zone" at a Hindu festival due to fears they could cause stampedes."
