To him, the pictures he takes of you look like those top two.

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 103 points 7 months ago (2 children)

For real, most of the pictures I have of my girlfriend are gorgeous, but she thinks they're hideous. I wish I could accurately convey to her how beautiful I think she is.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 75 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Seriously, my wife's biggest critic is my wife.

And anybody who bad talks my wife is getting a spanking

Wait. Oh, nice.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 32 points 7 months ago

When my wife starts criticizing herself I say "Stop! I don't let anyone talk about my wife that way"

Oh you want to have candlelight dinners and walk along the canal in moonlight holding hands with a woman?

That's so gay.

Real men fuck men.

Nothing gayer than loving a woman amirite fellas?

[–] Norgur@fedia.io 165 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well, seems like he wants to be with you, not with your Instagram profile

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 34 points 7 months ago

Seeing people's perfectly curated family albums is always weird to me. Like, you're not going to capture all the weird, funny, ugly, gross, and human moments either? What's the point then? Lol.

And the boyfriend sees the pics on the bottom like the girlfriend sees the pics on the top.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My fave photo of my SO is one she doesn’t like. It brings me so much joy and happiness when I see it.

[–] Nom@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Ah Wabi-sabi in action, love it.

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (2 children)

There's a psychological reason for that. You're used to seeing yourself in the mirror, so a photo of yourself looks subtly wrong. Reverse a photo of yourself and you immediately look better, but only to you. It's wrong to everyone else that way.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Yup! Been telling people this for years. Similarly, you hate your own voice in recordings because you're used to how there are bassy undertones that bounce in your head and get added on top of your voice. You can amplify your hearing of the bassier/muffled voice by just covering your ears and speaking.

Which means the trick for making your voice sound better in recordings is to just give it a touch of low end.

If he’s anything like me, vice versa too

Mirrors shatter into powder under my awful gaze

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 81 points 7 months ago

Too late, already sent this to my bf

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Easy, just ignore the genders in the image and think about what feeling it represents

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 30 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My wife would absolutely agree.

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

She has a boyfriend?

(SORRY, my old reddit instincts were kicking in!)

[–] Davidchan@lemmynsfw.com 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You want some idealized version of him that doesn't exsist in motion and conjured up by tricks and self deception.

He wants you exactly as you are, flaws and all.

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Or he isn't as good as a photographer as her.

[–] Davidchan@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He's capture a real moment, not something staged or manipulated to appear better than it is.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lots of photography is making something look better then it is. Lol

I miss arethestraightsokay on reddit. Loved watching those aromantic antisocials get offended at other people's happiness.

[–] casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm lost, how is this even remotely relevant?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Because they would have had a field day with this.

Uh, are the bottom poses related to that one cursed ~~Japanese~~ Korean comic? (Horror cursed, non necessarily nsfl cursed)

Edit: Got which nationality the comic is from wrong

Also here's the comic I'm talking about

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I've seen it ages ago...

scrolled down most of the way and noped out before the jump. Don't need that shit at 1am before bed.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago
[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Reminds me of My Giant Nerd Boyfriend webcomic.
