We see a lot of selfies here. Everyone has an opinion about the right and wrong way to take them. What are your simple rules for selfies?

Chinventory is important. Take selfies from an angle that reduces the appearance of miscellaneous extra chins.10

My selfie game sux so I hardly every post any. I've got nothing.4

Make sure the toilet behind you has been flushed.17

Angles are also important. Hold the phone straight out in front of you or maybe in a way that highlights your best side. Don’t take selfies from directly overhead.1

I like to give advice on selfies even though I rarely take them.
It’s kinda like I can tell you how to bowl but if I do it I’ll get a 46.1 -

Okay so maybe I do have some because I criticize folks when I see some things so....
- Clean the mirror
- Make your damn bed

Don't let anyone catch you taking a selfie.7

If taking a selfie with a friend, try to edge them out of the pic ever so slightly. If you can’t do that without being obvious, elbow them in the gut right as the pic is taken, thereby ensuring that you look better.5

Hmm. This is okay when there are two or more people present. Not ideal if alone. Better?1 -
Edit them to make yourself indistinguishable IRL.3

All of this and I like them to have some sort of context, story or joke with them.. not the same pic in the same exact pose every time and all you did was change your shirt.8 -

Don't let anyone tell you whether you can take selfie or how you have to take a selfie. Its a selfie, do it however you want!5

Except you have to take it yourself(ie)
Seriously. My husband cannot seem to understand this concept. He's an old guy TRYING to be young. So we're out, and he's like, "let's take a selfie!" and then he asks some random person to take our picture.14 -

There's something about selfies for the sake of selfiness that creep me out. Maybe I'm old. Take a selfie to illustrate your current location, activity, or company? Awesome. Take a selfie of your face by yourself in your living room because it's Wednesday? I don't get that.
Forgive me. I grew up in the 35mm era. If you took a selfie, you had to wait until the roll was full and then take it to the drugstore and pay $10 to get your pictures back the next day to find that you'd actually only gotten a blurry picture of your ear.7 -

I used to feel the same way. But then people who wanted to take selfies started making up fake reasons for it. Like ‘oh look at my daughter she’s so cute’ kid is a blurry speck off in the distance behind a wall of cleavage
So now I love ‘just because’ selfies. Although I’m bad at doing them myself4 -
Aim camera at self
