    I believe narcissism is at an all time high. Don’t get me wrong, taking care of yourself is important and fitness is to be welcomed. However it’s impossible to ignore the explosion of narcissism that the social media age has created. Has anyone else noticed that every guy on Instagram is a “ fitness instructor” even though most have no credentials. Also in the bio of most young lads and girls is the obligatory “model”, who they are modeling for I’ve no clue, it’s like they just self identify as a model. It’s a narcissistic way of saying I’m gorgeous. Also so many guys have onlyfans pages (which is where you pay them money and you can see them masturbate etc) I swear this is a real thing.
    Also the definition of “good looking” seems to have changed. Duck lips on girls but also this ken doll artificial look on some guys.

    here’s an example. This guy is , of course, a model on Instagram. Sometimes I think yeh he’s good looking but other times I think no he’s looks strange, slightly off. Is he considered good looking these days ??

    Vogue Williams is a narcissist of the highest order and she is "influencing" all these young people for some bizzare reason, despite being nobody and having no talent. Hence the explosion of self-obsessed me, me and only me social media culture.

    Far worse "influencers" than Vogue Williams.

    I don’t have the social medias. Bob Dylan once said if you want the truth a guy in a mask will give it to you.

    So boards is enough for me. Getting the truth from anonymous posters.

    Crisp thread would be ruined on social media. Loads of people pretending to like posh hipster crisps then spitting them out after the photos.

    He's got nothing on this guy, who thinks he looks like the Hulk but is more like Popeye.
