When trying to get an idea of your physical attractiveness, do you trust the mirror or the camera more, and why?
Mirror usually is just influenced by the visual left-right flip and the lighting in that room. Full-body mirrors can show the silhouette, which helps.
Camera is influenced by lighting, amount of light, framing, the fact that it's a 2d sample of something (videos convey face shape better than still images), and often for selfies there's a wide-angle lens effect that warps the person's features.
However, I'm a very bad judge of male attractiveness, so I usually take pics and upload them online. If you can tell a handsome man from an ugly one, then I'd say a mirror is generally more trustworthy.

Camera may play tricks, but mirror speaks always true.
Mirror is deceptive. Try video recording and imagine a 3D version to get the best sense

Mirror, absolutely. I look awful in a camera by comparison.
