cameras aren't magic, you're ugly. Hell yes being ugly will hurt your chances.

I've met people who are pretty in real life and not photogenic either

My boyfriend looks great in person but shitty af in pictures unless someone is behind the camera and poses him. He has mad high cheekbones and stuff which don't really transfer well to a flat image.

If you aren't meeting people online, it's nbd, but if you are, have someone else take the pic and pose you. You've got to have at least one buddy that would be willing to do that

I see, thanks! I'm not looking to meet people online but I use facebook and when I hang out with people they always seem to want to take pictures that will be completely ruined by me in them. It worries me that people will find me annoying or start getting mad at me for that, or that they will unconciously judge my looks more from the pictures than irl.

Lighting and angle you little insecure pansy.

What about sudden group photos with friends?

Learn how to use the color balance to your advantage... its what whores do.

My cell phone camera makes me appear paler then I actually am so pictures I take with it make me look pretty ugly. I have to make it darker to get anything worth sharing.

Instagram models will literally take hundreds of selfies, and pick the one that looks best. If you only look good 1/100 pictures, that's a good ratio

If you can't control the lighting or angle, it's out of your control.

This as well. You think those sluts post every picture they take? hell I bet they are twice as picky as you are about it.

I'm average as fuck and it took me a year of shitposting on OKC to land a bangable whale. I look like ass in every single goddamn fucking picture I take, only by sheer luck did I manage 3 decent pics to put up. I've started using Tinder too and I've gotten a few swipes but not a single non-whale reply.

Here's the weirdest part: When I go to bars, or parties, or literally any social environment where it is acceptable to hit on girls I become Ryan Gosling to them. It might be my vocabulary or interesting cadence I flow with, or some tiny microexpressions I have no idea about but they apparently can smell confidence on me and that gets me the poon points I need. Fuck online dating where poon points are only awarded if you're attractive and life is easy-mode.

Thanks! Still worries me a bit that this doesn't seem to be an issue for average people besides what you call sluts cause I can state at group photos on facebook and see that not one of them looks bad.

I see, that's great to hear!
