It is extremely difficult to know how you actually look to other people

[Slayer]

Obviously the two main ways of seeing yourself are through cameras and mirrors, but each one presents differences between themselves and how you're actually viewed from a third person perspective.

Cameras
It's pretty easy to think of ways that a camera can distort images (and consequently your face). Lens distortion, lighting, filters, iso, exposure time, single lenses not being able to replicate binocular vision, the list goes on. Even high end video cameras do not capture everything, I've seen some of my local newscasters in real life and they look nothing like how they look on TV. Presence caused by height and frame cannot be replicated on a screen.

Mirrors
You would think mirrors would be better since you view your exact image through your own eyes, but it is still not an accurate representation. When you're looking at your own face in a mirror, you are almost always making direct eye contact with yourself. You are unable to see how you look when you look away or from angles other than straight on unless you use two mirrors, and even then, you're not able to see yourself in motion.

Someone seeing you in natural light from an oblique angle isn't going to turn you into Chico, but it is going to be different from a mirror selfie, so it is important to not judge yourself too harshly especially in pictures.

I think the best way is to acquire a really good camera, and take a video of yourself in motion.

Very legit post TBH.
Personal addition: never attempt taking photos of yourself using a shitty camera, it's a suicide fuel indeed JFL​

 

[Deleted member 2846]

We see everyone in perfect lighting. No camera can fully capture it, no mirror can. Cameras are shit compared our eyes, not to mention ISO, lighting, angles, etc.

The BEST way to gauge your attractiveness is how other people (most girls) react and response to you.

The best way to know how you look is to have a blackpilled friend tell you exactly how you look to him irl, and have him sit next to you in front of a mirror and tell u how different u look


I suffered from this a lot. To a point where it really damaged my self image bc I felt like I didnt have one at all bc I dont have an accurate representation of what I looked like

Luckily my mom is hyper blackpilled. She calls me out on squinting if i do it too hard and she tells me its cringy and that I should tone it down (I already explained to her I do it for straighter lower eyelids and she says that's alright, just dont do bed room eyes), called me out when I used to jut too much and told me its obvious from my lip positioning, was one of the first people to ever enlighten me on the importance of jaw, and told me how women are drawn to chiseled and angular jaws and how she knows men fraud their shit lower thirds with facial hair


Tldr shes obsessed with looks just like me and is a very credible and honest source. Not saying shes impervious to the whole "my son is handsome" meme but no one irl understands me in terms of lookism like she does


What she told me is that depending on lighting, I look almost exactly the same as mirrors reflect except they make everything proportionately smaller and dim down your skin tone (could be bc lighting is garbage in my house)

Now the whole horizontal flipping mirrors do scared me bc flipping thr images back to normal in cameras made me look shit and asymmetrical

She confirmed that even tho mirrors flip it's not noticeable at all and u look exactly the same


Mirrors are by far the best way to gauge ur looks. Some people have optimistic bias, I doubt most people here do except 5.5 psl narcies. When people look at u they see ur entire main features in harmony (eyes nose and lips) structured on a background of lower third cheekbones forehead and hair, and most of u probably immediately draw ur eyes to a feature u hate about urself

you maybe i've gon to far, most of dudes look similar. My chad classmate, look great in pics, but great irl too. He squint in pics so his eyes are better in pics, but rest of his face is similar or slightly better irl. Most dudes i see look the same.

it’s insane how gl o’pry, barrett, and all of them look in “normal setting” pics. someone posted jordan reading a book on a subway next to an older lady and he looked unreal.

Nope, I don't underestimate the looks of them.
Anyone here that calls them aspie need to learn about looks and have at least sufficient IQ to see how they don't have real flaws and how everything need to be correct to looks this good.

wrong. lighting plays a massive part and the fact that you will instantly look at your flaws while another person won’t look at them first.

the only way to truly see yourself is to go on shrooms or acid and look in the mirror tbh. i did it when i first took lsd and i was redpilled on looks. i’d be curious to see what i would look like being blackpilled on looks

[BigChinHispanic]

Theres also something weird that happened to me recently, i was in the bathroom just testing some new glasses and my father saw me and he told me if he could try them since they looked cool, and when he stood in front of the mirror i saw him thru it and for some reason i could see his assymetry despite irl never been able to notice it. Its like he looked like a different person and thats because im so used to see him flipped in the normal way, and not the mirror way, same thing happens if you use snapchat camera too much and then try to take a selfie with no mirror mode, you look way off. You can ask a friend of yours to stand in front of a mirror and they will look off in some way. Brain is indeed fucked

True, every time that I see my friend in pics he looks old asf, with the collagen of a 70 yrs old person, but in real life is totally different, somewhat I get confused if he just turned Asian or something.

and in a lot of lighting

BUT here comes another thing... u are useful as fuark to look at ur face and you, specially if u are a looksmaxer. For example, you'll notice assimetries that most people wouldn't. In fact that is the main problem in you looking at you, noticing assimetries.


People will say, if ur a chad u know, if ur ugly u know. What if u are in the middle, yeah what we're talkin here is to know what is perceived, what they fuckin see. Not the category you are.

 

[RichmondBread]

I'm one of the few people that when I see myself in pictures and video, that's pretty much how I look in real life. Not crazy about my appearance, but it's me.

 

[SurgerySoon]

One way to have a pretty good idea of how others perceive you is to live for almost 32 years without ever having gotten an IOI from a single female human being (attractive or otherwise)

takes down all your defensive coping mechanisms. you will basically see yourself in a way you’ve never seen yourself before. btw, lighting is extremely, extremely important.
