This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You're used to seeing your mirror image. You aren't perfectly symmetrical, so your reflection looks slightly different than your image in a camera.
I remember seeing a study saying the most attractive people had somewhat asymmetrical faces but there's a sweet spot for it. Attractiveness reduces again if the face is too asymmetrical.
Are you sure it said asymmetrical?
I read something on the topic (though, awhile ago now) and it talked about symmetry being attractive, and even gave Denzel Washington as an example because he had a remarkably symmetrical face.
Wud be really interesting if asymmetry is found attractive now!
Slightly asymmetrical, with emphasis on the slightly. Which is the reason women often drew fake moles on their cheeks in the past, or drew over existing ones to make them bigger (eg Monroe). It's kinda making a comeback lately, I've seen some "influencers" picking the habit back up.
I noticed kpop idols put on fake moles as part of their look for performances.
