It’s the age old question of why do girls take so many photos of themselves. Isn’t one enough? (Um…no).
I guess it comes down to the fact that most girls are insecure and taking photos of themselves is a way to heighten their self esteem. Taking numerous photos allows the girls to pick the best photo of themselves to show the world. Society has such high pressure on girls and how they look that we take the photographs to prove they are socially acceptable.
Bathroom ‘selfies’ are notorious in girls bathrooms at clubs because it gives the girls the opportunity to stare at themselves while they take the photo. They are able to get their pose right, fix their hair and makeup and take pictures knowing exactly what they look like. After all, these pictures go on Facebook and Instagram for all the boys to see.
Going clubbing allows girls to get all dressed up with their hair and make up done. Therefore they like to take a million photos to remember how good they looked and show everyone how good they looked. It’s also a way to remember the night in case they get too drunk.
Looking at photos of other girls is also inspiration for girls. They get to see hair styles they like, clothes they want to buy and make up they’ve never seen. It’s almost a subconscious way girls speak to each other.
It may be an annoying trait for the fellas to watch their ladies constantly ask for a pic or randomly yell out ‘pose’, but it’s something they enjoy.
Also, Instagram alone relies on photographs. So although constant ‘selfies’ are annoying, it’s expected that photos are uploaded for others to enjoy. So why not snap the best pics when you’re all dressed up and looking smart?
Regardless of anyone’s opinions, photographs taken by girls of other girls (in a non-suss way) will always happen.
