I’ve been told many times in the past that my pictures never seem to do me justice and I look better in person.
Does anybody else have the same problem? |

"Why is it a problem if you look better in the flesh?
Isn't that a good thing?"
Yh ur right. Bad wording on my part lol.
I think u can tell I feel awkward in my pics which makes me look less attractive on the eye and let’s face it. Most people will judge u on how u look in ur pictures |

Is that what you're meant to do?
What about Starbucks? "
You must wear a hat in Starbucks but other than that anything goes really.  |

Thank goodness. I'm usually a Costa person (as I believe there is 1 Starbucks in the whole of North Devon and I don't actually like their "coffee") but I have to venture to the other soon and I need the dress code.
Will dig out the Stetson. |

It's fine the stuff they serve in there bears little resemblance to the real thing "
Excellent, so I can just enjoy all the naked people then |

"You’d have to ask those that have met me, but most do say you look taller in your pics, all in the angles
And I get. Wow you are tall aren’t you! . I think I must look shorter on my pics!"
Or people just don’t see height on the profile
Example your pic holding on to a chair, my butt and tummy would be in that |

I've been told by a good few peeps that I look better in the flesh...
I met a guy before also & his photos did not do him justice at all... I couldn't believe how good looking he was when I met him in person... He just wasn't photogenic... What a lovely surprise for me.
Then there's peeps who are very photogenic but look totally different in person...even though their pics are very recent & up to date...
So which would one prefer... To look better in photos #photogenic or better in the flesh #non-photogenic... The answer is obvious I reckon yea... I'd prefer the latter anyway |

Probably just look the same but you're seeing them at all different angles, also think in person if the chats going well the person automatically feels more drawn to you than on a screen . Anydate I've been on in past Has never been my pictures or looks that got me a 2nd date |

I would hope I look a bit better in real life, as I probably couldn't look much worse
I'm not a fan of having my picture taken, because I don't often take a good one. And because I don't often take a good picture I don't like having them taken.... |

Yep. It’s a cross to bear.
I think that it’s a nice surprise for people that do choose to meet me |

We have our face picture added to our email accounts at work. When my picture first popped up I thought admin had uploaded someone else's picture as I do not look like that!! Looks like I'm looking through a goldfish bowl |

That’s like 85% of the guys on here 
But hey, I’m not photogenic either. |

Photographs can make most people look great, if you are not happy with them you take more until you are. I always think people will want to run for the when they see me in the flesh. It always makes me feel very self conscious. |

My pics are rubbish, I am better in person.
I've never been good with camera angles, filters, lighting. Prob why I became a mechanic instead of a photographer |

Anyone thats met me says I look better than my pics so it is difficult when your pics are the first of you they see and you often don't get the opportunity to meet in the flesh |

"I look the same, but I’m In colour in the flesh!
Happily most of my meets have looked as good in person, if not better!
And that’s nice...
;-)"
Are you 2D? |
