How do you take a good selfie?

so this is the first forum thing I have been on apart from LinkedIn, which is work related.
So my question is, for a guy, what constitutes a good selfie? Should we even take them?
I am not too fond of my profile pic, but not sure how to make it better, is it the pose etc or am I just fugly LOL.

I should have said what should be in the pic, face, head, full body etc...

the camera always needs to be ABOVE your chin. if not it can give you a double chin, so try that. Also lift your chin up a lil bit because that elongates the neck and makes your chin appear slimmer. guys can take selfies, but don't go overboard.

also I lol because I'm not even following the advice I gave in my profile. My neck looks crazy short
but honestly the best advice is to take a bunch of selfies and choose the best one. not all pics are going to turn out well. I feel like guys might take one pic and think it's good to go because they don't like taking selfies lol. you have to spend some time taking pics and experimenting with lighting and poses.

I rarely take selfies, i did exactly what blueyellow said above and took one for my profile pic lol. when I make some progress towards my goal might update it and will hopefully look better lol.
