Lennoxcolinrolland wrote:^ Gawd not this convo again.. A selfie is a picture you take of yourself. That's what it is. Of yourself. By yourself. Only you in the lens. So in that case, Lauren has like 6 since the bachelor ended in March. And JoJo's posted 3 since being back in the real world since her season finished filming. And honestly, I don't see the big deal about the selfies. Cameras are meant for taking pictures and Instagram is meant for posting pictures.

IMO.

Thank you but I know what a selfie is and she can post away it is not my business . I am really sorry but do not understand the comparison to JoJo . They are both unique and beautiful in their own way. JMO

Not trying to be snarky but confused :shocked!:

Yes, I agree. Someone above compared their IG postings, and I was only trying to correct them from my point of view.

IMO.

Is the discussion here really about how many selfies this girl takes?

Let's see Lauren's IG is pretty tasteful and always has different posts about what she loves imo. It's honestly not just selfies. You can tell she loves her goddaughter, family, friends, fiance, dogs, interior design, photography and shopping. I don't think she's vain, shallow, or boring. I don't know what's expected from her but that's pretty much what half of the people on IG post about.

I have snap chat and I have IG and have never posted on either one.  If I did, it would be considered boring.  I'm not sure what you can snap in a 30 second video that would be that interesting.  My daughter and grandson snaps and I enjoy their every day "boring" stuff but it will not get an emmy. I guess if you are a fan, then just seeing them doing their boring stuff is interesting. If you aren't a fan then I don't know why you would follow them.

Honestly if I did not spend my time here looking for any information that would lead to F1, I would be posting selfies myself. Just do not have the time since I'm on here so much. Umm maybe Lauren should join this board. You would have loads of fun girl..

I agree that she snaps when she's bored. She seems to go out enough to be able to snap fun stuff (outing with Des, concerts, friends) but it'd hard to be in the moment.

^^ I agree Bleu. Unlike say, Kaitlyn, who yes, has an interesting snapchat, but I feel like that girl must spend like half her night out figuring out how to make the next story entertaining. She even just advertised her snap on IG stating she puts a TON of work into it. Lauren snaps when she's bored, when she's out, she's quiet. Therefore, Kaitlyn's snap game is interesting for some, maybe Lauren's isn't so much for others, though I think it's fine for what it is. Different strokes.

Lauren is just doing it for fun or because she is bored while Kaitlyn is trying to turn it into a SM career.

^ exactly. And good thing Kaitlyn picked Shawn, because he's right there with her in that regard. Ben H. doesn't even have snapchat, waaaaay more like Lauren there. They are with who they are with for a reason.

^^^^Does anyone really think lauren is bored?? Imo she is far from bored. I think she snaps because she likes it and wants to.

No. I don't think she's bored in general. She seems to have made a lot of friends, she keeps busy. Just that when Lauren chooses to snap, it's in her down time, when she doesn't have much going on, and that's why her snapchat may seem "boring" to some. When Lauren is out doing things, we tend to know because of fan pics, etc. She doesn't typically use social media in those more "exciting" moments. This is opposed to Kaitlyn who makes a point of snapping while she's out and about, with Shawn, etc. Kaitlyn uses her snapchat in a more "purposeful" way, if that makes sense.

I think social media tends to reflect the individual's personality. In Lauren's case, she's more reserved. I think in real life it takes a while to get to really know her, she's sweet and kind on the surface and that's what we tend to see most of on social media with her. You're not going to get a snap chat video where she's sitting there talking to the camera. That's just not her style, it's almost as if to do that would feel awkward for her and letting people in more than she's comfortable with. The pictures she posts are cute, but surface level because I feel like that's what she's cool sharing. Her goal with social media is to share with fans, share clothing and style tips, show the things she's passionate about,  her relationship and family. She's not planning out her next snap hours in advance. It's not right or wrong is just different objectives, everyone has their own when it comes to social media.

I always look forward to my snap updates because I know I'll be entertained with Kaitlyn and Shawn, interested in Jillians, smile at whatever Lauren posts and fan myself now when chase and luke post.
