You may think it's pretty normal for the man in your life to take a few sneaky selfies but a new study has shown that having a partner who is too fond of the camera could spell very bad news.
New research carried out by Ohio State University has found that selfie-lovers could be psychopathic and are more likely to show signs of being narcissistic and impulsive.
According to the Huffington Post, men who take a lot of selfies could display other anti-social characteristics such as a lack of empathy and the results are based on a study which asked 800 men aged between 18 to 40 about their photo-posting behaviour on social media and whether they edit their photographs before posting.
Jesse Fox, who was the lead author of the study, said that this is the first time that the connection has been confirmed by research.
“It’s not surprising that men who post a lot of selfies and spend more time editing them are more narcissistic, but this is the first time it has actually been confirmed in a study. The more interesting finding is that they also score higher on this other anti-social personality trait, psychopathy, and are more prone to self-objectification.”
However, it was also found that men showing signs of psychopathic behaviour did not take time to carefully edit their photos before posting them so if your other half spends ages picking an Instagram filter, you're probably grand!
"Psychopathy is characterised by impulsivity. They are going to snap the photos and put them online right away. They want to see themselves. They don't want to spend time editing."
