Why do some people look bad in photos but really good irl? and the opposite

[notchicolachowski]

I've seen people on tiktok where im from and they looked good like 7-9/10 but when i saw them irl they looked way different like 5-6 to 4-5 some of them looked below average. even the guys they look bigger on tiktoks but when i saw them irl they had small horrible frames. my older cousin looks horrible in his pfp and his pics in general but has a perfect side profile irl literally. and guys that look short in their photos are tall and guys that look tall are short idek if i should believe that people look like their pics anymore

Well filters and frauding aside, if it's a raw image, unedited image, one of the biggest factors is asymmetry.

I saw this girl in my class who I thought looked hella cute, and I creeped on her insta. Let's just say her pictures don't do her justice. Her face was noticeably asymmetrical and I didn't notice this at all IRL (but then again, I only took quick glances).

Also studio lightning and cameras can do magic tbh.

Here's a familiar face for the gooners



MTB yeah?

But you see her studio shots and it's like damn. This is not makeup either. Her bonez are the same.

Lighting + focal lengths play a massive role here.

Here's another girl, she looks okish here

You see her in good lighting with makeup and it's a day and night difference

People only upload their best moments on tiktok after 50 takes, hence the discrepancy.

Instagram and Tiktok are full of frauding upon frauding, AI gets really good at filtering, it used to be either minor touches or noticeable uncanny cartoonish edits but nowadays you can easily be fooled if you have untrained eye for that, even in videos. The major progress driver for that is East Asians, their social networks pioneered widespread usage of video filters, and it's somewhat funny delusionmaxxing, when all people fraud heavily but look very meh on the streets.

Lense distortion, lighting and also ive noticed robust/masc guys usually look better in motion. The little twinky guys with pretty boy faces and big eyes tend to look great in pics untill they take one standing next to a group of ppl.
