Ah! So including your sarcasm, are you implicitly saying you do not believe a gym selfie is 'narcissistic' as the Brunel University study says? If this is true, would you care to elaborate?

It stands to reason that if one has a psychological problem they may be unaware of their own mind. In the case of this study, one may not know they are narcissistic, even going as far as to denying it, due to psycological issues that have arisen. Is this a legitimate pursuit?

Please see the post on "psychological problems"

Someone who may have a psychological problem. If the study holds true, then the problem may need to be addressed with someone who has the condition. Luckily, medical experts are very likely to be on hand to help. So if anyone feels they may fall under the category of people described in this study, do not fret, help is…

Since it is arguable your profile picture is a 'gym selfie' would you say your picture is "the worst!"

Since it is arguable your profile picture is a 'gym selfie' would you say you are "so full of 'yourself'"?

A very generalized statement I might add. At what point is a selfie 'a photo meant to show- off' and at what point is it simply just 'a photo'?

Interesting response, so could you conclude accomplishments are primarily meant for ones that matter to the individual? Typically these can be regarded as friends and family, and at a professional level it is used to display as a qualification, as opposed to anything beyond that such as social media sites or any other…

Good point, this question ends subjectively. So better question: Why post a gym selfie for the Web to see publicly, if one is already proud of what they have accomplished?

Let's pose another question: Should pride be kept to one's self and not posted to a complete public audience (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), could that no longer be pride and reach vanity?

It's not saying it's wrong to post gym selfies, the Brunel University study simply states people who do post gym selfies tend to be narcissists and their narcissism is fueled by the "Likes" or positive feedback. It's to boost their ego, whether it's right or wrong is irrelevant.

I think "calorie counting" is just a basis on how people should eat. The beauty of MFP is its not just calorie counting. Yes, when you open the app or log on to the website, the first thing you see on your profile is your calorie count for the day. However, MFP does not just regulate your calories. It also asks you to keep…

Myself, I love myself I'm full of myself.

I bet females have the same opinion sometimes as well. I typically don't find the ultra female athlete attractive. Not trying to bash, I'm just pointing out that because someone is 'more fit' and 'trimmer' doesn't really mean they are now more "sexy". If I'm hitting a little to close to home, I'm sorry. No one is ugly,…

Well, I wouldn't say that. In my opinion, as a straight male, attractive female athletes are sometimes more rare then non-athletes. A lot of women that train a lot tend to be larger and/or muscular and that is not necessarily attractive. Also the may be really tall (i.e. women's basketball) or really short (i.e.…

That actually is a legitimate pursuit in my opinion.

Well 'scandal' isn't the right work I suppose, but what I meant by scandal was it was a big deal that all these athletes representing the United States of America were partaking in sexual activities. Some would say that is a negative mark on the US.

No

Only if Kevin Bacon joined us, Would you make me tired?

The card game? Sure Would you make my bed?

I think that person is shallow beyond all doubt if they cheat on you because they have improved their physical appearance.

???

I'm not sure Would you elaborate for me? (this may be important)

Sure

Would you invade the USSR with me?

Do you have an iPhone? If you do, have you downloaded the iOS8? If you have I use the 'Health Kits' app. You can link it to MyFitnessPal app, and when you punch in your weight it takes into consideration not just the date, but the time of day as well. So anytime, is fine. I would do one in the morning though to get the…

I wish I could visit 18th century Colonial North America for a year.
