This is the culture you have accepted. Do you have Instagram? Then you are part of the problem because your activity on there sustains its profitability and it's perverted encouragememt of narcissist fake behaviour

Social media is a cancer unless you are an advertiser.

These womens minds have been poisoned by a silly cultural trend
The narcissism encouraged on that platform has been widely accepted and normalised

For anyone over the age of 21, having your own photos on your own phone homescreen means you are very like to be a self centred person. Massive red flag for a relationship

[max_power]

I always found it weird seeing that (always thought it was a Chinese thing). But I’ve seen many average looking girls with photos on their phone wallpaper.

The mind boggles why anyone would want their own photo on their home screen. If you go on a date with a girl who does this walk the fuck out of there.

[TheBigChungus]

Does this apply for guys too LMAO

*as I stare at my own lock screen

It's like a guy putting their photo in their wallets clear window section. Weird and a little unsettling. It screams that the person needs a photo to support their self esteem

[TheBigChungus]

I just think ya old farts are just over analysing every lil thing. I’d wanna see what your wallpaper says about you, you might have your kids or wife pics as you go out and fuck some working ladies. Let people set their own wallpaper they like ffs.

Do you have your own face and nothing else, such as family members, as your smartphone screen photo? Just your face alone? If not then you agree with us

Yes I have a pic of just me in front of a mirror cause my drip was looking fire, luscious hair, well built, it’s just a reminder for me to appreciate myself and all that I have accomplished from where/ when I started.

Well I have two wallpapers me on my Lock Screen and my dog in my Home Screen. Yet I still don’t agree with what the OP said.

Life is too short to not enjoy with what makes you happy and care about what others might think and most of the times that’s not even the case cause everyone is busy with their own lives. And if you’re so fixated on someone’s wallpaper and need to come share it here on a punting site, yikes.

[Vincent888]

I have fruits on my wallpaper.

I have one of my motorcycles on there.

I “ride it” as if it’s my GF, hard and fast.

Till I find a real one it’ll have to do…

[TheBigChungus]

Fruits are good for you, and people don’t eat em as is so it also serves you as a reminder to eat some. Nice!

[Defqon888]

What’s wrong with you man?
It is just culture diffrent stuff, why would you care about her phone wallpaper.
For today, u have to tell the mamasan you don’t want to see any of girls with the picture on her phone.
You are grown man, do what you said.

[11Bravo]

I avoid women whose lock screen has any religious symbols, Jesus, a quote from the Koran, a dude in a skullcap, any depiction of any God with more than 2 arms...

[asiafever]

Siding with chungus here, nothing wrong with someone appreciating a time they looked their best and wanting a reminder. Sure it may be an age thing as well (though I'm closer to 50 than 40...). For reference, my lock screen hasn't changed in 12 years, it's a moment in time I want to hold on to as long as I can, and no it does not feature me in any way.

Judge a person once you've got to know them, you'd be amazed how many times an initial judgement call can be way off mark. I'm as guilty as anyone on that front but it's something I try not to do too much.

[personaa]

Absolutely nothing wrong with that, the only issue is that the teenagers will get so obsessed with themselves that would only compare themselves to Angelina Jolie and won't settle on anyone better than Brad Pitt. In extreme cases this is a recipe for loneliness and depression.

Please note I'm only referring to teenagers and not a mature person who knows rules of the game.

[GoldfishMan]

Lol, you say they're narcissists, I say you're too judgmental and close-minded.

Besides, there's a very practical reason people do this, particularly with the iPhones that have the wallpaper on the always-on-display. It makes their phone look uniquely theirs without having to lift it up and look at the back or unlock it. Imagine having a table full of iPhones all looking the same, or other scenarios. Nothing more unique than your own face right?

[Hidden Python]

lol people put their photo on their Lock Screen just in case they loose their phone, so if someone finds it and they do the right thing they know who they are looking for,
Probably 99% of people now do it these days

Exactly, bro. No need to go through the Spanish inquisition to get it back. That's my face right there, it's my phone, give it back. Easy peasy.

lol, and you are judging, quite a paradox.

Well, sure that could be a reason, but I can't ignore the cultural transition from Big Mac to Big Me. I can just refer you to David Brooks who write in New York Times:

Brooks critiques what he terms today’s “Big Me” culture, a culture that, as he sees it, is increasingly narcissistic, self-absorbed and self-promoting. In evidence of this claim, Brooks invokes results from a 2005 Gallup survey that asked graduating high-school seniors the question, “Are you a very important person?” 80 percent answered “yes,” in contrast to only 12 percent in 1950, when the same question was put before graduating seniors then. Additionally, Brooks points to a 30 percent rise in the median narcissism score as further support for his claim.

For Brooks, recent developments in social media technology have only encouraged individual expressions of self-importance (a case in point, the “Like” feature on Facebook and a growing trend in self-branding).

https://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/fellowshipofsaintsandsinners/2015/06/david-brooks-and-the-big-me-a-critique.html

Brooks published his book in 2005, can assume it is getting much bolder these days.

[Vincent888]

A van lot of people only have social media, a phone and little else. Hence the focus on promoting themselves.

The people with real money and real power don’t broadcast except to their inner circle.

Love reading guys on here justifying having their face on the homescreen

Firstly how common is it punters that you have your phone with many other phones? I avoid that

Then you get interrogated?
Can't you just show them that you know the phone password? IPhones recognise your face as well?

If I ever have to show that I own the phone, I just show them I know the screen password lol

Put it this way. There was a famous American children's TV show, Mickey Mouse Club, where the child stars all wore tshirts which had their names spelt out on the front of the shirt!. 'Mike', 'Jane' etc. There was never ever a time since, where it was again fashionable or even smart, for a person to have their own name on their shirt. Same thing with having your face on your phone
There may be some exception s if you need to boost your self worth, and thats fine, but is that common among punters?

Feel free to discuss. If everyone disagrees, am happy to change my opinion

Well the OP said picture of herself which could mean a full body shot of her, her in front the mirror or any place else.

What you’re saying with your first reply to me and now this is setting your “face” as a lock screen which isn’t common and possibly a psychopathic trait (which I know narcissism is a part of it)

Full body/ half body shot ≠ narcissist

Just a face pic of yourself = psychopath

[charmingninjaman]

I know quite a few women with narcissistic or bpd personalities and they do tend to have images of themselves for their phone wallpaper - usually in seductive poses. One was a ML and literally put one of herself in lingerie, needless to say, all the men around her knew what she was all about - didn't do her no favours in her life or the type of people she attracted.

However, I don't think this necessarily points to them being a narcissist on it's own. As I know just as many other women who are NOT narcissists that do this - mainly as a reminder to themselves that they are beautiful and to increase their own self confidence.

[Double_Adapter]

Personally I think the concept of using selfies as phone screensavers, personalising car number plates with initials, tattooing names of girlfriends/partners/dog/cat, constantly bragging, posting selfies on social media etc is totally fucked and screams 'I need validation and attention'. Next thing you'll have grown ass men scribbling their fucken initials on their undies, shirts, socks etc.
Socialites and people in the entertainment industry are the worst offenders, closely followed by social media influencers and their minions of followers. Ultimately people are entitled to do whatever they fucken like....so it is what it is.

Anyways, how many narcissists does it take to change a light bulb? None, they all use gas lighting.

Gosh darn it, now I have to chuck all my handkerchiefs with my initials on them… sigh

Also to people who don’t carry handkerchiefs wtf are you doing?

Quick story time:

This was back in my school days, we were on an excursion to Bronte and this girl I used to like cut open her finger on a coke can. I used my handkerchief to attend her cut, the next day she washed it ironed it back and gave it back to me and it smelled really nice. And what do you know she was my first girlfriend.

That’s your cue to carry a handkerchief at all times, I am shocked how many people don’t have one.

Fuck the hankies bro, you gotta use the snot-rocket launching technique, the one where the index finger is against one nostril, head titled sideways facing down and blow violently through the other nostril. You see it frequently in team sports like soccer, rugby, AFL, lawn bowls etc
Might try it next time when I visit the local rub 'n tug.

Blokes with a moustache, how do you blow without leaving any snot behind?

[carmen farquis]

I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of guys here use their own dick pics.

[GoldfishMan]

How come many people here sound like girl? I remember when I single, many single girls also like to talk about this kind of thing. Some guys also talk about similar topic but not too deep like self-confident, sound very gay because gay men always talk about body positive and specific dick shape. Even my wife don't complain about her body image to me, she now already used to me saying she look good with clothes or with no clothes, & she don't ask me to choose clothes for her when shopping because I always find excuse to sit somewhere & play my phone.

I think the word you're looking for is "bitchy". As in, it takes a certain level of bitchiness to be able to bitch about someone's lock screen or AOD wallpaper and turn it into a judgement call on their character.
But hey, that's ok, we're in 2023 going on 2024. Everything goes these days.

[frisson]

Sometimes guys need to keep emotion to themselves and only let out to their wife.. That reason why we marry & have sex daily, so we can communicate and share feeling. With WL cannot share feeling otherwise problem if she fall in love with you or you fall in love with her, unless you want marry the WL & promise to share feeling only for each other & treat others as sex toy.

Sorry for all those lonely punters needing to need to share their emotions with a WL. Sad

'If you want a friend buy a dog', is the saying in politics

Some of you should go outside & play.

No problems if you do, just seeing what people have on their homescreen

[Kiki kong]

I've always used the standard out of the box lock screen, now that I think of it 🤔

Idgaf what people put on their lock screen, screen saver imo. No fucks given really... but if I had to choose one for my phone, it be my quads and valves lmaoooo. Shredded AF yeaaa boiii.

But meh I'd probably just leave what's on their now... cgaf

[tpol]

Maybe they have their pre surgery look fixed in their memories and need their screens to remind them their beautiful
