Boys take selfies too! If you think that girls trump guys in the selfie race, you’re still stuck in 2013! With Justin Bieber leading the way, there are a host of boys who are openly and shamelessly narcissistic. Let’s look at the kinds of selfies these boys have been successfully pulling off.

The post- workout selfie

What better way to impress girls than showing off those buffed-up arms and six-pack abs? Every guy that hits the gym inevitably takes a sweaty and shirtless selfie, intended to portray his masculine swag. Don’t miss the occasional selfie with a fitness freak’s best friend — the protein shake!

The playboy selfie

We all know how every time a guy is surrounded by a group of girls, the reflex action is to raise one eyebrow, put on the “I’m a player” look and snap! — take a selfie.

The ‘bros over hoes’ selfie

A guy’s best friend is known as his ‘bro’ and two bros practically do everything together — from watching the Champions League finals to playing video games (Think Gus and Isaac in The Fault in Our Stars). A mandatory selfie with this omnipresent ‘bro’, subtly showing how he’s more important than the girlfriend, is definitely a guy thing.

The Lamborghini selfie

We’re not exaggerating when we list cars among the top 10 things that guys are obsessed with. It’s in the XX chromosome to get ecstatic with expensive luxury sports cars and take a selfie with these beauties, whenever spotted parked on the road.

The couple selfie

We’re no longer surprised to see this selfie flooding our Facebook News Feed. The boy looks into the camera as his girlfriend kisses him on the cheek, and there you have it — the mushy ‘couple selfie’ with a PDA score of 100.

The groupie selfie

This is the unisexual selfie taken with a big group of friends including girls and guys. Every social gathering calls for the ‘groupie selfie’ where all present must try and squeeze into the 4” display screen to make that selfie!
