Why do so many girls look better in person than pictures?

[Anonymous]

Like I've noticed a bunch of times where a girl looks great in person but in pictures (like on Facebook), she looks alright. Even when they don't look like they made any changes.

Many girls wear too much make.up ajd when they take ths picture it ruins it. Also, it could be that many girls.try taking pictures in different angles but never take it on the right one.

it's the type of camera you use? I find nokia phone camera makes me picture perfect where as some cameras don't.

Sometimes pictures don't capture someone's true beauty or their "spark". Or maybe it's just bad lighting.

I am extremely un-photogenic. I don' t know why. There are only a handful of decent pictures of me, and thousands of pictures where I look like a complete hot mess. It is a mystery.

Some people just aren't photogenic, not just girls, guys too.

Girls have called me 'handsome', 'cute' and 'hot' in real life. But people have actually called photos of me 'creepy' and 'weird'.

You poor thing- I can relate!

That's because of photoshop and the angle of the picture.
