How to legitimately tell if looks are the problem or if you are just autistic

[Deleted member 24614]

If you got these type of pics in your camera roll it's the latter

 

[Deleted member 24002]

I have thousands of photos of myself from different angles (mainly side profile). Idk why I just feel compelled to check in on what others see when they look at me

Looks the problem is both

Those thousands of pics you have in the roll are not how other people see you tho

Then what is an accurate way to measure that

photos are similar to real life. motion is slightly different but chads look the same way they do in photos

Depends on the lens, most phone cameras distort your face image if you're close to them, it's a matter of the lens and mm.

More modern phones usually have wider lens and better cameras in general though.

Close distance also causes this.

Ignoring distortion and angles the problem is also psychological, for some reason everyone seems to notice every little bad detail in their own photos

Yeah probably true, but do keep in mind photos can actually make your flaws more noticeable. Speaking from personal experience, my nose is noticeably more crooked in photos than it is in the mirror and in real life where it's barely noticeable if you're not analising my face FML.

Depending on your camera, if you got a droopy eyelid, a crooked nose or a similar flaw, it can actually appear worse than it would if you were looking in the mirror.

I'm not sure if the mirror can disguise them and they're actually really visible to others though FML.

You aren't taking photos in flattering angles

True JFL. But the same frontal way I look at the camera makes the photo looks different from what it looks like from the same angle when I look in the mirror.

People notice it subconsciously irl so dont cope. Your selfies should look good

It's not the fact it's flipped, even if I turn it back my face looks different and more "enlongated" than it looks in the mirror when it's taken on my phone's camera.

Same, it's just phone cameras that be like that, when I use a real camera I look identical to mirror view

Yeah professional photographers also use cameras with wider lens, when I initially used my phone for photos I thought my face was just long lol.

@aBetterMii we ain’t making it out of the incel hood

More modern phones usually have wider lens and better cameras in general though.

wider, as in wide angle, means shorter focal length, which is not what you want. a good portrait focal length is like 85mm on a full frame camera whereas smartphone cameras have the equivalent of a 26mm lens, which is very distorting, even more so if you're closer to the lens.

unless you have a deformed comical mirror, you have a long face and you need to change your cam setting to 1:1

Oh, guess I just worded that badly, thought wider angles also meant more mm. I was talking about it having more milimeters, as you said 26mm distorts your face, also since a human eye is closer to around ~50 mm I guess.

The mirror is not the problem lol. My phone's frontal camera got 16mm with like F/2. Kind of a bait since the other one is way higher.

IRL it's not 200mm though, I believe it is around 80mm

In that pic posted w the distortion his face is long in all of them. Ur face is just long

what if someone sees you from a longer distance irl then it will be equal to 200mm?

Accept you have inhaled air through your mouth for centuries upon centuries and stop blaming your shitty Huawei phone.

In my experience, if you're attractive women will talk to you in a different way. They'll show interest in you in a more obvious way, and, some of 'em will show a lot of confidence when you're around.

If they simply don't care for you and don't look at you, you can say that your looks are the problem.

It is VERY RARE that your looks are the problem. Yes, you might not be attractive, but you will ALWAYS find someone. There are very few people who are actually ugly, and for them it is a problem.

E.g. in your pics, the dude is absolutely normal/average. There will be a lot of women, who will date/fuck him. If he does not get anything well, then he is a recluse most probably. Online is not very easy with non-top-5% face, so he will fail. But IRL he could easily get a girl if he went to more social events.
