After exploring the website, “selfiecity,” I discovered some interesting facts, such as the amount of selfies taken that differ among various ages and genders. The average age of people who take the most selfies lies in the 20s range, which I find common due to the fact that I don’t personally know anyone over the age of 30 who take selfies. The other fact that I found most interesting was the difference of selfies taken between males and females. Significantly, there is a dramatic difference between males and females in Russia who take selfies. 82% of selfies are taken by females, and 18% of selfies are taken by males. I believe the reason for this huge gap is due to society’s portrayal of the typical “man” and expectations that surround these false stereotypes, forcing men to comply to these ways in order to not be seen as misfits or outcasts.
