Looking...*

Image result for look good



Selfie habit on Snapchat was a bit outside the norm but the habit is explained.
A study led by Ohio State University Professor Jesse Fox, men who post a lot of selfies to the web, tend to exhibit higher levels of narcissism and psychopathy.

So to all the gym rats posting mirror selfies and the guys behind the wheel in shades giving a "whats up" look, you may have a problem.

The study found that men who edited their photos have higher levels of narcissism and self-objectification. The only good thing is that these men are not necessarily psychopaths. Fox explains that psychopathy is related to impulsivity. Impulsive people wouldn't bother waiting to edit their photos.

The study compiled data on 800 male participants between the ages of 18 and 40, all of whom completed an online survey about their selfie-taking habits. 
The University explains that while all subjects exhibited higher levels of these traits, they were still all within the range of normal?  Fox is looking into whether our online friends encourage us to post more selfies.   But what about the gals?    Just a thought.
