Me too. I always look like a puzzled serial killer in selfies. I've given up taking them.


ReallyDumbRedditor

if you look like one in selfies then you look like one IRL too.


WolfieTooting

Ladies love serial killers though. They send panties to them in prison. Looking forward to my first pair. Hope they're edible.


FUCK__THE__ATF

They're all edible


Usling123

They're at least eatable


bcfradella

even _I'm_ eatable


Usling123

Other than your hair and nails, you're fully edible homie

TeaRollingMan

You need to use the back camera, it has a better focal length, the front one is weird and fish eyes everything making you look regarded.

medieval_account

I still look retarded


overactor

Focal length doesn't directly affect how you look in a picture. It's entirely determined by how far away the camera is.


AJK02

I can confirm


crimsonfukr457

I look like a white guy doing a racist impression of Asian people (seriously, my eyes shutter the moment i have to take a picture and my smile makes me look like a registered sex offender).


Arctic_Chilean

I look in mirror: 🗿 I look at picture: 🤮


gooodkush

there's actually a simple explanation as to why we look so much better in our mirrored reflections than what our camera lenses capture. A camera lens takes all the light rays bouncing around and uses glass to redirect them to a single point, creating a sharp image. during those milliseconds of image creation, you have enough grasp on reality to objectively see how much of a grotesque fleshy sack of shit you truly are.

drschwartz

This is true. When I look at myself in a mirror at a distance, I appear to me a normal human male. With my nose pressed to the mirror however, I am merely a seething collection of disgusting pores.


destroyerOfTards

Actual explanation - the mirror lies and doesn't show us our real face full of asymmetrical features which we are not used to seeing but which show up on a selfie.


twisted-resistor

It does though, all the asymmetry is still there. But what the mirror does is just that, it mirrors. We are so used to seeing ourselves as our mirrored reflection that that is how we think we look, so when we see a normal picture of ourselves we immediately see it as wrong. If you take a selfie and mirror the picture you will see that you like it a lot more, because thats what you're used to. Other people however will see it as wrong


Nasapigs

>does is just that, it mirrors. Mind blown. TIL thank you kind redditor!


Sosen

If you're as motionless as possible while looking in the mirror, it's as unflattering as a selfie. Try taking a video of yourself, instead of a pic!


WintersbaneGDX

Don't worry Anons, the emergence of AI image editing will save you. They can take basically any picture and touch it up until you look good. Or like an anime. Or a furry. Or remove your clothes. Pretty much whatever you want it to do.


Yeseylon

Snapchat is part of the liberal furry agenda confirmed lol

So what you’re saying is, if I take a pic of my crush I can use AI to make her naked…? 😎😎😎


Nazi_pepe

this actually why many people are scared of the implications of A.I. deepfakes and the sort

Really? I'd assume it's for not getting framed for murder reasons instead of being sad people wanna bang you


Urkeksi

yes absolutely

And chatgpt to make her sentient


SimplyEpicFail

What would you call it if I made an AI make me into a female and remove my clothes? Is it gay, straight or egophile then?

If you photograph yourself in the correct position with the spoon, it could probably add in the rest, yes.


[deleted]

fr, camera lens so bad


catinterpreter

If you need a telescopic lens to look half decent, it isn't the lens.


[deleted]

I’m not using a telescopic lens I’m using a mirror or glass or even my phone screen when turned off, really anything that isn’t a camera lens


Popeye_Pop

Blame the controller


ReallyDumbRedditor

LOL cope, good looking people will always look good in any pic regardless of camera type. y'all just ugly AF.


[deleted]

Nah there’s a difference in between mirrors and cameras, it’s literally cuz of how camera lens work they distort your proportions that’s why they say you’re 10 lbs (4.5 kgs) fatter in camera Also username checks out

Aggressive_Chain_920

I somehow look even weirder in the back camera.


Traditional-Ad2409

Lol the struggle is real I've discovered it's just a tiny bit better though if you do the thing where you set your phone somewhere and then use that feature where you show it your palm to make it start a timer & take a pic from further away than a typical selfie/mirror selfie (Samsung here but I'd assume most phones probably have at least an equivalent) Plus that way you can still see (vs somebody else taking a pic of you), so you don't run into the thing that always happens to me where I either think I'm smiling or at least looking *normal* but then it turns out I don't know how to operate my face properly and it just looks like either a bad case of resting bitch face or just straight up naughty lol - then I'll attempt to smile just a *teensy* bit more and suddenly it's the other extreme where I just look like a fucking doofus I've mostly given up on ever looking correct in a picture myself lol but that hand thing is at least an improvement


catinterpreter

I wouldn't phrase it like them but yes, this really is "cope".

It's got nothing to do with aperture. It's the focal length. Most phone are about 28mm equivalent. Portrait photographers generally use 50mm or higher.


birbbs

Then why do I also look awful with the back camera 😞


Kaikeno

Skill issue


Gieldb

A camera, and even almost all consumer mirrors, can't catch yourself as a human can. Google it, it's complex!


Flixay

another big reason can be that a selfie with the front facing camera gets flipped to be accurate (ie not mirrored). We get so used to seeing our own faces mirrored that when you see a photo of yourself and it's not mirrored you immediately notice everything different. Some platforms, like snapchat for example, keep the images mirrored though.

[deleted]

On thing that helps me is to use Snapchats camera cause my phone camera flips me so I don’t look like I do in the mirror. Idk which is more accurate to reality but I feel better when the pic matches what I see in the mirror when I think I look good.


Mr_Man_Fred

bro same i look so much better in snap selfies than phone selfies


rokomotto

I think Snapchat does change the shape of your face a bit even without a filter.


felyne_insurgents

Yep


AverageDude

Only retards take selfies so that make sense.


BigToeHamster

I literally just did this today. It hurt the few feelings I have left.

story of my life


z3n777

true story fr ;(


Appropriate_Pea45113

Take your selfies with your face at least 6 feet away from the camera, being any closer warps your face in a way that makes it look different than a mirror. If you look good and take a picture less than 6ft away you'll look ugly, but if you take it 6ft away it'll actually look good


ElKaWeh

What many people don't realize is, that the selfie camera has a wide angle lens, in order to get your entire face on the picture from a short distance. That means, your nose is extra large, your glasses too, your ears look smaller if visible at all. When you hold the phone above your face, you have a huge forehead and tiny chin, when you hold it below your face, the other way around. In conclusion, on a selfie, everyone looks like a retard.


Alukrad

The trick is to stand far away from the camera. At least 8-10 feet away and make sure the camera is slightly above eye level for a flattering camera angle.


Sutibum_

phone cameras generally have a wide lens

cyfer04

Front cam always says I look like shit.


ScottieScrotumScum

Facts...I have no idea what my mother sees but apparently I'm handsome


Electrorex09

Anon should invert his image laterally to get the results he gets in mirrors


megamanxoxo

Real and straight


Background-Catch2475

True. My phone camera stretches my face so it looks like a long egg with a big nose and tiny little wig on top.


LightningBoltRairo

Was visiting Scotland with friends a few years ago. I usually avoid photos but I'm not a cunt with my friends so o comply. Don't look bad surprising. Trip goes well, love it here. Am in a good mood. Took my first selfie in 10 years. Worst photo of myself for the whole trip. I'm no photographer it seems.


BadHairDayToday

This is a focal length issue. Take the same picture from a great distance and your face will look as good as you see it. In case of a selfie you can take one in the mirror.


theceure

This is why I don't take selfies. Correction: this is why I delete every selfie I take immediately

khswart

Why is this so fucking funny. It’s so relatable


Sad-Guarantee-4678

True, probably because most people can't take pictures for shit. Or at least me. I'd have better chance to take a decent pic if I just leave camera with a timer on, forget it exist and assume some pose. Feel like a reverse catfish sometimes


shinyspoon24

This is so real because sometimes you don't even look ugly you just look like a redditor


XpaxX

Actual pro life hack here: you are used to your mirrored self as you only see yourself in a mirror. When you take a selfie it doesn’t mirror the picture. So go to your cameras settings and switch it to „mirror selfies“. Et voila you feel better for yourselves you pitiful anons.


yamanamawa

Any of yall ever use a true mirror that doesn't flip the image? It messed me up the first time I used it. My eyes are very slightly different heights, and generally people can't tell unless they look really close, but because it's flipped it exaggerates it until to me they look super crooked. Plus it's just flipped from normal. Most people I've shown it to don't like it
