A gentleman never kisses and tells.

Deez nuts... HA! Got heem!!!

Hahhaa so concerned about how much I lift and that's not even important. Look, I don't have to tell anyone that I lift more than you ever have, you just live your miserable life trying to prove yourself you aren't full of yourself and I'll let your ego have its day. Clearly, out of sight out of mind works for you. Take…

Please you about as round as a tire. You've got pencil for arms, I don't want to hear this hahhaa.

OP doesn't lift, that is right. Huh, such a profound thought.

I know, I have to result to grade school speak to allow people a chance to quit wasting time.

It is funny to see people posting gym selfies. It's as if the self-gratification of their work and progress isn't enough that they have to post it on social media to receive gratification from others. Somewhat petty.

Sure, but enlighten me if you're going to ask.

It's obvious if the original post upsets you or makes you feel like you are being described in the study, than it probably means you are narcissistic and rely on the approval of others.

Yes, I think we would get along

Hahah of course not my dear child, I'm a simpleton. It is everyone else here who are the geniuses.

Please, I hope these comments are Notdirected at me. Regardless the nature of my original post, I was simply trying to stimulate discussion of the topic. However, if the nature of the posts are meant to be negative, I hope it was not from offense from me.

Clearly, this discussion has made you emotional and distressed. I am very sorry if I have offended you, but please your comments are unecessary. To prevent any more of said distress, I will cease to respond to your comments and I advise you to no longer take part in the forum.

This refers back to the previous question: If one is already proud of their accomplishment, regardless of what it is, by posting for a public audience to see, does that constitute as 'narcissistic'?

My point for your second claim is a scientific experiment should not have emotional variables that may skew the data. Your third claim is claim was correct but by chance not by the evidence presented. But by the nature of your posts they are to discourage me which I assure you they do not, but have hindered the ability of…

My dear sir, I've been a catalyst for intelligent discussion. My contribution has been that of a third person stand point.

I find your posts irrelevant to the discussion and frankly distasteful, I would like to ask you to please cease any further negative comments. Thank you.

I do not usually go to gyms or know much about them, so my knowledge on their policies is fairly limited.

Just out of curiosity, why does your gym not allow cameras? An oddly specific policy I might add.

To disagree with my response may require some rebuttal, but I am quite sure the statement, stands to reason, to be true.

Hahahaha quite amusing, however the study is performed in a objective manner as is all scholarly work. I doubt the motivations for the study are based upon emotional responses

Based upon the opinions of most of the users who have posted, it seems they do not feel the Brunel University in London study does not hold true and narcissism is not prevalent in those who post 'gym selfies' on social media sites. Great discussion!

Interesting point. Would you say your motivation would primarily cease to exist without the 'gym selfies' of others?

Hahaha you're Tom-foolery is amusing. Well done!

Good questions, does anyone care to elaborate? A suggestion though, keeping questions linked through the developmental growth of the discussion is typically easier to comprehend for the sake of the discussion. Keep questions less frequent and pose more when the question arises.

Excellent point, social media is an efficient way to keep people informed of one's activities. So this brings up another discussion: What kind of posting is healthy and unhealthy? Is their such a thing as healthy or unhealthy posting?

Great point, so you're saying the vessel used to post the picture is appropriate based upon the websites genre?

It seems a previously posted question needs to be supplied again due to the nature of the discussion: Why does one post their accomplishments for people on social network when regardless if it is posted or not, your accomplishment remains intact? Responses are encouraged.

I'm sorry to say the study is still in its preliminary phases. Dr. T. Marshall of the university has still yet to publish the work. Hopefully, it will be made available soon to help our understanding.

Excuse me, I'm here to stimulate a scientific and debatable topic that may require further understanding due to the recent findings of the Brunel University study. If you do not wish to view or be a part of this discussion, you are not required to engage in the discussion.
