Men who post more selfies scored higher on tests of narcissistic and psychopathic traits. Those who were more likely to edit the selfies before posting scored higher on a self-objectification scale.

And? I know guys including my brother who post selfies...lol my brother says he's a little narcassistic, but he's certainly not a psychopath. But IDK I think it is kind of stupid to assume negative things of someone just because they post selfies and are male...or if they edit them, some people like to do that to express themselves like my brother likes to play around with different effects and has done some pretty cool things.
