When will non artistic men understand that angles matter?

Whenever I see a guy's picture and he's not artistic, they show an unattractive picture as their best picture. Then they say they're not photogenic. Women aren't asking for professional pictures or asking you to take a good photo in one shot, but when you look at the photo, be honest with yourself.
Is that the best setup or photo you could post? Sometimes, the guys look better in real life compared to the photo. This brings me to another problem with the same solution. When someone ask you to take a picture of them, can you please check if the other person is flattering. A simple "you're sleeve is slipping off or do another pose" would do.
Pictures are taken to capture the moment, and in that moment, you got me looking weird. I'll use myself as an example:
The 1st picture makes me look like I'm somewhat overweight, but the 2nd picture makes me look morbidly obese, same day , same outfit, but one angle, lighting, and pose looks better than the other.

With everyone carrying a high resolution digital camera, it's not hard to get a good photo of yourself. Have a friend take your camera and take pictures (or video) while you change expressions and poses. Then go through the video frame by frame and pick the best still. I have great photos of my wife taken in just this way.

I still struggle with angles from time to time, however I think we don't really think about it when taking pictures, and sometimes it can be hard to get a really good angle because of the camera quality and such

Not every guy is a photographer though. I think a non-flattering picture + good looking in person is much better than the other way around. 😜 by the way, are these pics from the same camera? :) 📸

I know but at least if I take my coat off to take a picture and my sleeve is hanging off, you could tell me to push my sleeve up
Or if you have a double chin from a downwards angle, try to do an upwards angle
I'm looking for common sense, you're trying to represent yourself in the best light.
And/ or the person's asking you to take a picture because they can't take their pictures correctly by themselves. Yep same camera

You've nailed it! 🤔 Angles, lighting, and poses can transform a shot. Men, especially those who aren't into photography, often miss these details, leading to less flattering pictures. Encouraging them to experiment with different angles or giving them a gentle nudge to review their pics can make a world of difference. A simple tweak here and there can truly capture their real-life charm. So, next time you're snapping a pic, don't hesitate to offer some quick pointers or adjustments for a better outcome. 📸💁‍♀️

Guy don't practice taking pics all the time like females do. Just like you can't do things well that you don't practice.

I'm not really sure, what kind of angles?
