Do you dislike taking selfies? Given the choice of how your picture is taken, is that option pretty low on your list?

    1. I don't do that.
    2. I already know what I look like. So does everyone I know. (Except for here.)

    I have never taken a selfie in my life. 
    I am in one or two with family members as they took one of us.

  • I don't prefer to take them. I would rather have someone else take my picture. When I try and take a selfie, it always comes out bad.

    I have a very old flip phone that doesn't take pictures, so selfies are out.  However, even if I had that option, I wouldn't take them.

    Yes, I do hate it because I am no good at it. I almost always fail to get myself in the picture. People say, what was the camera actually aimed at. I say, how the hell do I know, the camera was over there, a foot-and-a-half away, and I was over here contorting myself into unnatural postures trying to at least get a sideways glimpse through the damned viewfinder. 
    I visit the chiropractor on Monday so I'll ask him if he knows a better way - but I'm not holding my breath. Of course he may know nothing whatsoever about photography.

    I hav seen phones that had a camera lens on both sides of the phone and you could decide which one to use. By using the one on the sceen side you can preview exactly what you are going to get. Production wise it is practically free, so I dont know why other phones don't have that. Maybe it got patended .
    I think it was intended for video phonecalls. This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at June 29, 2018 3:16 PM MDT

    I don't take selfies.  I know what I look like so much that I don't even have to look in a mirror to shave.  I prefer to photograph nature instead.

    I fear the mug that's my face and probably will NEVER take a selfie with anyone. Not even my own family. DUDE!! You're hideous. LOL This post was edited by Zack at June 29, 2018 10:18 PM MDT

    I usually prefer selfies because at least then I can see whether I'm presentable or not before the photo is taken. I actually posted to my FB account last week what a difference it made- one with me posing nicely before I went out and one with me with a well-known musician. The latter looked utterly ridiculous. I was grinning like Donkey from Shrek. Bah.

    Dear Miss Jugs, is that really your own foot in the picture?
    If so, how cruel of you to deny us a glimpse of the rest of you.
    I have wasted hours in blank-eyed gawping at your avatar in vain hope it is one of those avatars that flashes to a full frontal picture for a fraction of a second once in every two or three days. You have caused great suffering here. I just wanted you to be apprised of that.

    You may rest assured that one day I will not go metric albeit I might metre you one day by Chance.....:)

    I have no objection to the taking, I just don't like the results.
