You will allways look better in the mirror, your brain is used to the image. You also make micro expressions to compensate. Prob even titlting your head to favorable angles etc.

If you want to judge your face truly, you need a pic 3 meter away thats inverted. Then you can see your true self, so a pic taken by others from a wedding or with a group. Yes everyone will say they look worse in those pics, and thats because everyone has a delusional ego and perceived look from none inverted mirror.

Not really, you always look better in movement therefore in mirrors, that's how people see you irl too. Also height, and alot of other aspects determine how people see you irl.

Photos don't mean shit

take a video 3 m away, thats the truest image you will see. Ecen deformed people think they look good in the mirror. I never met a guy who said he doesnt look good in the mirror.

You need none inverted face and 3 m away to not fall for the ego trap. But keep coping with ghe mirror if you want

I mean its because in those studies people say they look like grotesque uglies when seeing themselves in pics. But they are just normally ugly, and then they write a whole research paper about cope and self image to help uglies out

I look the same or maybe even better in my sister’s wedding pictures as I do in the mirror, also sometimes I use 2 mirrors to see myself in 3D. Speak for yourself, no delusions here.

I mean yeah, I look good on a video.

But if i take a screenshot of the same video I look arguably worse.

Thing is we both agree that we look better in motion, so you will always look better in the mirror, irl or in a video.

No the biggest factor is the inversion, since the inversion of the face makes the face look how a stranger would see you for the first time. Else you have pre cope in your head, and you remove your flaws since you are so used to them. Inversion is key. You can put a mirror close together in 90 degree angle and look at the inverted image, this is more the most accurate. But camera is 100× more accurate then mirror, mirror is the least accurate by a long shot

Also, passport photos give you a nice perception of how you look irl

But the only thing i don't understand, that when you look in rhe mirror with someone with your friend girl whatever they look the same in reflection and in person, and when you make photos they might look worse in the photos then in real life so who knows the truth

ofc you look like you do ik the mirror, but its the inversion of the image that reveals the truth. You cope away flaws, and thats even true for people you know. If you want to know how people perceive you in the first glance. Its the inverted image, no predisposed copes about your face. Esp if you havent seen yourself much in that way before, you get a glimpse in the eyes of a person who never seen you before, the first failos that person sees etc

yep this is due to the Mere-Exposure Effect (people like things that are familiar to them) and Frozen Face Syndrome (You subconsciously adjust your pose, tilt your head, to look better in the mirror)

Yea i mean thats why we even perceive our friends and family as more good looking then they are. Because with time we get used to their failos and the brain expect them to be there. Its litteraly no rocket science, i mean i even remeber thinking of hoe luch uglier i thought some people was a mt the beginning of meeting them. Evem before i knew this stuff. Cope is the strongest force allways, no lies

I dont think that i cared at all about seeing my self or others reflected, its still looks the same... But when you catch your moment in the picture it might look worse then you in irl

Intelligent opinion yeah its really just ghe getting used to it thats why rating yourself is kinda dogshit compared to a rando whos never seen you b4 also due to the self confirmation bias

how other people see you matters, hoe you get treated matters, if you need to rate yourself with ratios and or cope with mirror you prob look like dog shit

Wouldn't I use front camera if I record, because it inverts?
FRont camera distorts, you want 3 m away so the ratios/proportions is what it really is

I was at a wedding and I look much better on those pics than in the mirror because they're frauded with Photoshop or some sort of filters
 
your using the slippery slope fallacy to explain why the claim is wrong
Is just sarcasm, obv the 3 sentences are false

I mean people rating 7 is just to be nice. Rating syatems are useless. Just upload pics on socials, dating apps or whatever and see how your general treatment is, thats what matters
 
Only what matters is how your interactions with people going
