    I would say red flag, but not a deal breaker. FH hates social media and doesn't even have an account on any of the sites!

    Deal breaker. This might even be a deal breaker it if was just a friend.

    Well if my fiance was conceited, I'd be giving him the side eye. But this insinuates that people that take selfies are vain, which isn't true. We take selfies together and with our children. So it's definitely not a deal breaker or a red flag unless they are sending provocative pictures to other people unbeknownst to us.

    Not a deal breaker, but I would definitely say something if FH was still taking mirror selfies like he did in high school. 😂 I LOVE taking photos so I’m always asking FH to get photos with me.

    Self obsession? Not cool. It's a deal breaker for me. I would think that person would want to make themselves priority in a relationship (i.e. being selfish) rather than trying to make us a priority. I'd feel lonely.

    FH and I are both so bad about actually taking photos...

    I don't know if I'd care. If it interfered with dates and communication, then, oh, red flag. But it would probably help me take more pictures...

    Depends, are the cats in the photos?

    I got rid of a lot of my social media a while ago and only have Instagram and LinkedIn now. I'm also a big one for 'living' the moment and not 'documenting it.' So, weirdly enough, I think it might actually be a lifestyle difference deal-breaker.

    I don't think that would have been a huge deal. I think people post selfies because they are confident in themselves and that's a good thing.

    I tend to think people who's profile is all selfies are self-absorbed (a bad habit I've been trying to break). It's atleast a red flag for me.

    I would be HELLA annoyed but I don't think it would necessarily a deal breaker. FH and I aren't even really huge on pictures to begin with let alone to sit there and take selfies all day. I have friends like that and I'm just like whatever. Do you.

    I am going to say red flag 🚩 if you are only taking selfie’s because you just got dressed for a special occasion.

    But, if it is continuously every day,I would say deal breaker!

    Deal Breaker! I'm not the kind of social media selfie-obsessed person so I definitely wouldn't be able to be with a selfie-obsessed person. it reveals a lot of characteristics i don't want to be with too.

    Eh, I take and post a lot of selfies too (how else am I supposed to get pictures of me with my daughter? no one else takes them). I try not to be a hypocrite. If I can take selfies so can he xD

    Red flag. Depends on how bad it is. FH almost never takes selfies so its not anything I’ve given much thought to.

    If it was ALL about him ALL the time, deal breaker. But there's also nothing wrong w a little self-confidence and pride in your appearance.

    Ha-ha I find this hilarious... if that's who they are then more power to them for being so confident in themselves.
