Im sure this has been discussed already, but Ive noticed that many, if not most mirros have some significant distortion, especially cheap mirrors. Some partially, some wholly.

I have a small round mirror and if I rotate it, it can give me like 1 cm eye asymmetry on horizontal level, then I rotate it more and the eyes are on same level.

Noticed same shit with bigger mirrors. If you just move half a step to the side, you will see how your head and face shape distorts.

Id say that its actually rare to have a mirror that has 0 distortion.

Life fuel cause I used to think that I had more facial asymmetry than was actually the case.

So you are saying that we look better than what we see in the mirror? Because I look great in the mirror but awful on photos.

Not exactly what Im saying. What you have noticed is indeed correct, most ppl look better in the mirror than on fotos, simply because fotos will allways have some sort of lens or physical distortion. Even with a correct photo lens size, you will often have distortion, depending on the lens angle towards the person. Also it depends if youre standing in the middle of the lens or on the edge of it.

So yes, most ppl will look better IRL and in the mirror compared to fotos.

BUT- there are some cheap mirrors, that have distortion. Some mirros only have distortion in particular areas, so that if you move slightly to the side, you might have a distortion-less view.

Yes greycel with 40 fkn posts, youre right.
Im on his side it doesn’t matter how you look in mirrors, how you look on your pic on tinder matters
 
If your mirror is more long than wide than your face will look long
We’ll honestly never know what we really look like

We think we look better in the mirror because of the mere eexposure effect, we are so used to see ourselves in the mirror that when we look at our picturers we think we look weird

No you look worse then what you see in the mirror
 
Best to assume worst case about looks. I'm norwooding and from a mirror it still looks like I have scalp hair, but my mother said that its thinning, so I asked her to take pictures and it looks much worse that it looks to me in the mirrors.

Always assume worst case jiggacels

Bc youre an inceloid retard. Pics are about angle/lighting/etc. frauding. All foids know it and all of them do it.

Tinder matches mean shit if you meet her irl and then shes disgusted by your rl face, because the picture was way better looking.

Chadlites and Chads dont need dating apps, they go to places where they can see foids without picture fraud (well fakeup fraud still remains) and pick the best looking one.

As a matter of fact, there are very few chadlites and chads on dating apps (except maybe large cities like london etc.), I did an experiment once and they were truly rare. Reason is because they dont really need it. They get enough attention irl, that beats Tinder matches number, which is fkn meaningless, because usually pictures are angle/lighting frauded anyways.

E-attention is fkn shit compared to rl attention and validation that chadlites and chads get.

You're too real for this forum dude.

They can't see anything through a neutral Non-Blue Non-Black Pill lens. If you say anything even remotely close to suggesting that they could be viewing themselves uglier than they really are, their brain flips to believing "ah they just don't know about the blackpill" LOL

There is a grey area. Let's call it the grey-pill since they need an ideology to think logically. Shit isn't black and white. Lens distortion is real. There are nuances.





You can buy true mirrors from here https://store.truemirror.com/collections/all They are clear AND they are not flipped. So you see yourself as people see you

Yeah I know man, these guys are delusional, its just another form of cope so I dont blame them.

Tbh, I dont think Id want to look into a true mirror, even though I consider myself kinda average, mb just slightly above average in reguards to face.

But a true mirror exposes every little flaw and the smallest asymmetry and imperfection. I dont think I want to see that shit, it would probably make my brain implode. I dont think I need that shit. Tbh I think a true mirror is sui fuel for most ppl out there, even normies and even some above normies.

Honestly even those supermodels dont look great in certain lighting conditions or if theyre not 100% trimmed, styled, make-upd etc.

each time i look at myself in my true mirror i go into a deep depression/ suicidal phase that last approx 1 week and i'm not kidding . that the time my brain need to rewind back to a regular more "bluepilled phase" about my looks

But why would a true mirror be that much different from a reflective mirror, outside of the fact that it is with the absence of flipping/reversing your image? Aren't you intrigued to truly see how people see you? We've grown-up believing people see us how we see ourselves in the mirror when it's not true. Truth is important to a man. Very important.

I don't get why a reverse image of yourself would close yourself off to asymmetry and imperfections etc? Surely you can still see the asymmetry and imperfections, as it's just your image reversed? So really it's your image flipped from how you are used to see it and nothing more, right?

I've transitioned through all black pill phases as a long time PSL user, I know everything there is to know about a face and how it translates to reality and interacts with your personality etc

I'd say most here are in the transitional period where they need to still incorporate the looks pill into real life and form an objective sense of it through repeated exposure to competitive environments like clubs to see what actually consistently happens

Black pill is so much worse than people here could imagine in many ways, it's harsh with looks but not as bad as people make it out to be here. The real black pill is the behaviour failo multiplier when you're a neurotic mf analysing peoples faces. That and ego attachment leading to a failed life.

Is it literally just your image as others see you? Why would it open up more asymmetry and imperfection? It's your image flipped from how you typically see yourself in the mirror, no?

I believe you fam without a smallest of the doubts, even without having looked myself into one.
Stay away fromt hat shit, better yet- get rid of it. It wont do you any good.

Even with mirrors, I find that ppl look better in motion, than just looking at 2-dimensional angles of our faces.

It is already bad enough, that in certain lighting conditions our skin looks like utter shit, no need to add extra cortisol by looking into a true mirror, thats sui fuel on steroids.

Dont do this to you ppl.

I mean youre right ofcourse, but you know how fragile human psyche can be. If we're used to looking at something for years upon years and see something different (like every asymmetry etc. is reversed) and dont recognize ourselfves, we get into panic and cope mode.

You are correct ofcourse with knowing the ultimate truth would be the best way, but idk its kinda hard for some tbh.

its honestly really hard to describe , the closest experience you can get to how you look like in a true mirror for a cheaper price is a 3 door bathroom mirror and you have to try to look at yourself in on of the angle of the mirror frame .

bought that shit 2 years ago so 'im used to it now but lately i stopped looking at myslef in any mirror for 2 months since i found i was being more productive looksmaxing wise that way but i decided to look back into the true mirror and the shock was brutal af i actually cried and stopped eating for 2 days afterwards .

but honestly for everyone planning on any surgery i think its a really usefull tool . The only drawback is the quality of the mirror especially on the center of the mirror it gets damaged really quickly on the 200£ model

I feel the same, in the sense that I can focus on looksmaxxing better when not constantly checking myself in the mirror. And be more productive in general, because youre not constantly focused on how you look and worried about it.

Tinder pics arent usually from the back camera and far away, but rather close pics.. But reguardless. Theres more physical distortion and lens distortion going on with a photo lens vs mirror.

You can have a proper photo lens and far away, but if youre on the edge of the picture/lens, there will be some slight distortion too.

Like Im not even kidding I have a long mirror on a door of a closet, if I move my face up or down, it can have all sorts of asymmetry (or none), depending on the area of the mirror Im looking at. Its fucking comical. One doesnt believe this kind of shit but it is what it is.

It can easily give like 1+ cm of eye level asymmetry and other asymmetries.

JFL I didnt even watch that shit, I kinda already know what it is all about.

Seing other ppl in true mirror can be depressing too, because you see how subhuman most ppl look.

Maybe some distortion isnt that bad at the end of the day. At least you might blame some of the bad looks on the mirror. :feelsree:

legit, i’m beautiful when i put my face a few inches from my bathroom mirror, but then i turn way uglier when i take 5 steps back. it’s the complete opposite when it comes to cameras

also, if you reflect one mirror with another, they will exacerbate each other’s distortion
