Women Spend Five-and-a-Half Hours a Week Taking Selfies

A new study found that young women take the most selfies, which isn’t surprising. But the amount of time they spend doing it is pretty incredible.

The average woman between 16 and 25 spends five hours and 36 minutes a week taking selfies . . . which is 48 minutes a day. It didn’t look at specific stats for guys.

Women said they take an average of three a day. And when you factor in things like prep time and adding filters, they spend 16 minutes on each photo.

57% said they make sure they’re in a place with good lighting before they take one . . . 46% fix their hair . . . and 33% touch up their make-up.

27% said they mainly take selfies when they think they look good, and want to show off to friends . . . 22% said it’s to get the attention of someone specific online . . . 18% said it just boosts their confidence . . . and 15% said it’s to make an ex jealous.

27% also said they sometimes delete selfies after they post them if they don’t get enough likes.

And one more random stat: 5% of women have taken a selfie on the toilet.
