Every time I take a selfie or mirror pic, I always look ugly. No matter the angle or not I know my jaw is a little narrow but that should ruin your entire front profile.

I look so much better in the mirror then on photos (my skin colour/texture gets worse, it looks like I have a very long mid face which I don’t, my jaw looks invisible because it looks so narrow)

Chances are OP is young and bloated and the mirror isn’t lying. Bloat and acne always makes you look worse in photos. Chances are he is the common case of a youngin that is MTN but looks LTN in photos so he rots inside all day.

mirror pictures and camera probably clap him. The best way he can tell if it’s the camera’s fault is if girIs give him attention IRL

You need to learn to pose and be confident for photos and in selfies you need to angle them well with good distance
It’s all skill

I coped with this for so long, thinking I looked better in person than in pictures. Just accept it.

It can lowkey be true tho. There are features that are giga distorted like bloat and acne! And sometimes nose. Eye seperation can be frauded to look better tho In pictures

Ok but you won't go from ugly in photos to good looking in real life jfl, the difference is subtle

Definitely not good looking. But a difference of LTN -> MTN is definitely possible

That explains your issue! People see you better than you look in pictures. Not everyone has this situation tho

If atleast 2 girIs showed interest in you or got into relationships with you chances are ur MTN or maybe HTN if ur super dysmorphic but I don’t know what you look like
 
some people dont look that appealing in photos but better in motion

assymetry can cuck your photogeny like crazy

and the opposite is also true if youre symmetric its a halo for pics
i know a handful of foids that look mediocre in person but look amazing in pictures because theyre symmetrical

Lens distortion and you're probably overrating yourself when you look in the mirror so you get very disappointed when you see a picture of yourself.

Wish i knew lad
 
Mirror is fake
You actually look 10x worse irl
YES. 10x worse
Yup. 99% of people own shitty mirrors that blur your real reflection, not to mention the flattening lighting and the flipping of your face which causes your bone to literally cope
The better the finish of the backing, the higher reflectivity, the evenness of the coating all affect the reflection that you see. The better the mirror, the truer the image, less the distortion.

I thought I was a normie in the mirror but I started to question shit when I was receiving subhuman treatment irl and still invisible to foids.

Started taking back cam pics and I got a lot of mental breakdowns initially.

I have one mirror where I look bad, used to be bloated in that mirror and nowadays I look more lean so that's a improvement. Despite that I still look recessed when someone takes pics of me because my ramus doesn't show.

There's one thing a lot of people don't talk about and that's asymmetry.

These two are attractive women but they have noticeable asymmetry, particularly the eyes. One of their eyes are higher than the other.

This one is a lot worse

If you are used to seeing only one angle of your face, you will be startled and think you look uncanny when looking at the inverted version because of asymmetry.

Lima has a very symmetrical face, so she looks photogenic. Her eyes are parallel.

If symmetry is your problem, try flipping the photo you take and see if you look better. Your features obviously didn't change, but it might give you comfort in familiarity.

IMO, the first girl is attractive enough that I don’t even notice it at all. I think it would be the same for attractive men ?

It’s the cherry on the top tbh, but it doesn’t descend you unless it’s very bad. IMO

You don't notice it because you literally just saw them right now, so it's not noticeable.

When it's your own face, or a face you've seen for a long time, it looks uncanny.

Try it with a woman whose face you've known for a while and find attractive.
