I'm going to actually give a legit answer instead of being a sarcastic biotch.
This is a fitness app. People are at all levels of fitness and have worked hard to achieve goals. Maybe at one point they felt ugly or invisible and have found a place that doesn't make them feel that way any longer. No need to be so damn judgy.
Sometimes my hair looks decent or I feel cute and want to share it to feel good about myself. I don't post sexy pics, but if I ever did I'm betting there may be one or two who would appreciate it.

And don't forget by posting selfies we give the mean people a chance to express their mean and critical nature. So really, its a win win for everyone.

Ughhh...way to ruin a perfectly ruined thread with common sense, reason, and kind words.

I love seeing people post.
There are too many on both sides of this mirror that look across and can't see themselves in a positive light. Self image is a huge problem for most.
I think it's nice to, first have the courage to put yourself out there, but then also be able to accept the good things people see physically about you. Sure, some people use it as a crutch, or others might just like posting pictures for fun.
Usually when people take issue with it, it is form personal issues with their own physical appearance, or some personal moral judgement. As I mentioned, being contrary is also a way of seeking validation. Lots of psychology about it and all, feeding the Id. Simply put, almost all theories about it say we do most of what we do for validation and self-gain. Or another way of saying it is, don't blame sinners because they don't sin like you.10 -

I commend people for putting themselves out there and having the confidence and pride in their hard work. I’m not a ‘hater’ by any stretch. I just don’t need to see a picture every single day over and over and some people post the same pic on multiple selfie threads. Sometimes, less is more. I tend to stay away from the selfie threads because, quite frankly I get bored. It’s like looking at someone’s photo album with similar pics on every page. “Here I at the gym wearing a t-shirt, oh here I am on my couch, oh here I am at the gym again but this time I’m wearing a different color t-shirt. I SAW YOU on the first page, for crying out loud. I remember what you look like. Of course that’s just my opinion and as I’ve said before, not the most popular around here.
p.s. I will contribute to the selfie thread again and when I do, don't stone me to death....um Max.

People should not worry about other people's choices.
I love the selfies. Even the men selfies. Even the men who sometimes annoy me. It's nice to see the person and know the human behind the moniker in several forms.
I resurrected a few threads to prove a point. More people should post selfies.
It's Valentine's day. Go flirt, post more selfies, be happy. End thread.
First of all, a thread doesn't end just because you say so.
2nd, it's not a disgrace, people can say what they want to on the internet.
3rd, I'm not sure if you're someone's boss, but you're not mine. Don't tell me what to do.
Lastly, Happy Valentines Day.

But my question is this - what enjoyment do some people get in pooping over someone's party? It's kind of an internet sadism of some sort. We all possess it. But the selfies rile up more people than it should.
I can only speak for myself. Regardless on my thoughts on the selfie threads, people will post them and do whatever they heck they choose. I'm only here because I'm bored at work today and need distractions.0 -
How much more hideous do you think people are in real life??? Typically, someone will only post the best view or lighting or filter.

Sarcastic biotch post edited to say...
All of the things Timshel and Melmel said.
Also it seems to promote positive feelings and a sense of closeness among the posters (if they didn't say that).
I had a photo of my face as a profile pic for about an hour until someone trolled me, and I've been a beagle since then.2
