Since 1990, the midlife first marriage rate has experienced a significant surge, increasing by 75% for women and 45% for men. This remarkable rise underscores a broader societal shift towards later-life unions.

The societal context plays a significant role in shaping the perception of narcissism. In a culture that often scrutinizes and criticizes appearances, taking control of one's image through selfies can be a powerful act of self-affirmation.

Ultimately, the key is balance and intention. While it's crucial to be aware of the potential for perceived narcissism, it's equally important to allow oneself the freedom to enjoy and celebrate one's image in a healthy, confident manner.
