why do people try and make it look like they are living the life on Facebook?

[SoulFer]

1) People try to make it look like they're "living life" on Facebook for an "image" of course... they just want attention, and they get it over Facebook and other social medias. They want to seem cool, popular, and all that...

2) Not even close to all guys do this, so no, society has NOT become "THIS" shallow... because frankly, it isn't. There is something called "selective abstraction" and many people fall victim to it - when a detail is taken out of context and believed whilst everything else in the context is ignored. So for example, you see 15 guys on your Facebook page who are "pretty boys" and taking "selfies" daily... then you say, "why do most guys do this?"... when a simply fact is, most guys even on Facebook, don't do that... but next to that, a large portion of people don't even have Facebook. So even though it might seem like most guys do this, due to your "selective perception"... statistically speaking, not even CLOSE to "most guys do this".
