There are a few exceptions of course, but your example isn't a good one. Sometimes, you can get a decent selfie if you take it with a selfie stick in a nice place showing value, or if it is a social pic where you're looking good with people giving some value around you.
I just made a video for my business channel why selfies are bad, I gave 5 points why we should not use them:
- Bad vertical angle: selfies are usually taken with a shitty unflattering angle.
- Too close-up: if you don't use a selfie stick, your face will often be too close to the camera.
- Lens distortion: smartphones have wide-angle lenses causing a big distortion, making your face look worse than in reality (bigger nose and looking more fat).
- Low value: a selfie is a low effort and low value pic. It carries with it the stigma of being too low value by communicating that you're not important enough for other people to bother taking pics of you.
- Selfies are in the overwhelming majority of profiles: you don't want to have a profile like most guys, you want to have something that stands out and looks way above average.
