I just died laughing at that Steve Harvey meme because his photoshopped version looks like a girl I used to work with ROFLMAO! But she used a lot of makeup to get there, so I guess that ties into the who fake image of photoshop too

Yes, people absolutely use too many filters online, but they also use waaaaay too much makeup, especially on Instagram. My boss is great, but you can't recognize her if she doesn't have makeup on because she looks so much different without it. She jokes around about it because she knows it's true, but you can tell it does partially stem from insecurity (she's not very feminine). Most women who use all that makeup are insecure, but adding photoshop on top is just screaming a lack of self-esteem

Another big one a lot of guys don't really talk about (maybe they don't know about it) is camera angles. When you see a girl online who looks curvy, it's because she's sucking in her gut, popping her hip out, and wearing a shirt that makes her boobs look bigger than they are. I know plenty of girls who look like they have curves online, but they're stick figures in real life. They use camera angles and different poses to accentuate what little features they have, and then put a hand on their waist to make it look smaller. I hate taking pictures with girls like that because they always complain about me having more curves than them, so we have to take a million pictures until they're satisfied with their pose. We took a picture at work the other day, and one girl complained about standing next to me because I have bigger boobs than her, but she always sticks her chest out in pictures of her online to make hers look bigger smh

I hate MUA's that use them in particular because if they were good at their craft and their make-up was so incredibly good, why do they need a filter on top of that? It's false advertising just as just about every fashion magazine has done for years.

I am not photogenic and look bad in all pictures but here is a secret , women are pleasemtly suprised when they see me for real. I am no hunk or adonis but still they get better than they expected and are happy so why use filters to improve your looks because when you meet someone their first reaction will be dissapointmemt

Use them all you want.. just don't use them with ONLINE DATING. That is a sin in my book.

VIVANT · Answer

I think it’s avoid reminder as to how fake and superficial everything is online. you won’t meet them irl anyhow so what diff does it make.

Movie actors are all completely filtered on movies as well
As special effects as well
As as are magazines and computer games... so snag diff does it make?

anything on screen is sterilized.. so people filtering are just fitting in.

Why annoys me is the animal part attached their face the fish lips and pouts and stupid vapid attempt at sexy-sultry or cutesy faces that stuff is extremely annoying.

As for dating well
People can lie about anything anytime irl too. So just see it like anything else. You have to get to know them for real before deciding of you want to
Peruse things.

I think eveeyone is entitled to their own choices, but they have to be real about it. We also need to teach our kids that they use these things, and it’s okay not to use them and they’re still beautiful.

SexyAshh · Answer

Yes!!! I dont mind but the ones that change eye color bother me a lot. Maybe because I've always been extremly lucky to have bright light blue eyes and i feel like all girls copy me now, but there's are fake. Not sure why but that bothers me most

sonnysunshine · Answer

I never use filters and I’m aging a bit. My facial skin has some wrinkles when I laugh or smile. My hair is not as thick as used to be.

It’s part of life and I have to accept it. But I’m very careful about what pics I post.
