Here's the reality fellas and no this is not cope, nor is it blue-pill (Which I despise)
You look more like you do in the mirror than you do in pictures. Especially pictures taken by camera phones up-close, because of the focal lens where there is actual distortion. There's very minimal distortion in a mirror.
I know chads are photogenic and look "equally" as good in photos as they do in the mirror, but I think there is a good reason.
My theory is that the lens "simplifies" your face into one "tight-package" and that package exposes your imperfections, any small asymmetry you have and especially any fat that you have in your face. The lens cannot simplify a round face accurately, because there are no corners. So the rounder your face, the worse you will look.
Here's a black-pill. If you do have a round-face, you can forget ever looking good in pictures. However with low body fat an oval/triangle face can still look fairly good. You see despite some oval/triangle faces carrying fairly solid jaw-lines, they still get diminished in the lens. Square and rectangle face jawlines rarely ever suffer under the scrutiny of the camera, unless the person is high body fat and even then it needs to be fairly high body fat.
The counterpoint to this would be, while this may be so, most ways of hooking-up and/or getting a wifey in today's market are through Tinder/Bumble/Instagram and so how you look in photos, basically is how you look in reality, even if it isn't. If that makes sense? It's how you look in photos that gets your foot in the door, sort of thing.
PS: I know there are a ton of narrow-minded people here who are pretty much only able to think on topics such as these through a red/black-pill ideological lens, so I expect a lot hate and trolling, but for those who aren't mid-wits or are open minded enough to think about it, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
