...and do men REALLY take more selfies than women?
The Scottish Mail on Sunday15 Dec 2019By Holly Bancroft and Ross Slater
IT MAY be hard to believe when you next scroll up through your Instagram feed, but young men take MORE selfies than women, according to a new survey.
Males snap themselves an average of ten times a week compared with eight for women. Overall, 85 per cent of Britons aged 16 to 29 say they post selfies – at an average of 468 a year.
‘Selfie’ was picked as word of the year by Oxford English Dictionaries in 2013 and there has been rapid growth ever since, particularly – if the survey is to be believed – in Stoke-on-Trent.
Millennials in the Staffordshire town take 12 pictures of themselves on average each week followed by Birmingham and Oxford with 11 and Leicester with ten.
Stoke security guard John Swift, 34, said: ‘On nights out,
I’d take them from all different angles and then put them on different backgrounds.
‘It could take up to an hour to get them ready for Facebook or Snapchat.’
The apparent rise in popularity among men is attributed to the ‘Love Island effect’ after the
ITV dating reality show and the booming interest in men’s skincare and hair-care products.
The survey of 2,000 millennials, by smartphone firm Honor UK, found the ‘sweaty post-workout’ selfie was popular with nine per cent of people while 19 per cent took ‘in bed with my partner’ selfies.
