And i bet it won't change much.
I did according to hyper's link, i didn't smile, I am looking away but .... Lol |
Can I say this as a piece of advice? WHY do you take your pictures looking up at your face? It is sooo unflattering, everything is out of proportion. If you want the best results, find the most flattering angle for YOU, and forget all the stats. |
I don't get it.
I wasn't looking up at my face. |

The picture you put in this thread, and the ones I saw in another thread, are taken at what is, for most people, an unflattering angle. If you want positive feedback on a photo, why are you using pictures taken at an angle that makes most people, in my experience, look really bad?
A close-in up-shot rarely looks good. That is what I am trying to say. Since it sounds like you would like people to respond positively to your photo, it seems you might want to know if there was a simple change which improve the response. And I think there is: take the photo from a higher angle.
EDIT: you've since added that you were not looking up at your face but the shorts ARE looking up, even if only a little, they very much feel that way. JHMO, of course, but I think you are probably better looking than your pictures.
I can also say that photos we take of ourselves while holding the camera are never our best, because the arms get into the photo at an unflattering angle.
Hey, you know, I'm old and married, so I have no horse in this race, but I thought the feedback might be helpful to you. I really do believe you are probably better looking than your pictures.

I gonna show you pics of members who passed and scored high, most of them are close-in up shots.
No it's not much a matter of angle. |

Don't try to be so scientific about this. Those pictures are not you, different types of photos flatter different types of people. I am telling you as a woman that I believe you are better looking than the pictures I've seen you post, and suggesting you find a way to get pictures that flatter you better. Take it or leave it, but that is my advice as an older married lady, and you KNOW how much us older married ladies like to get young people matched up.
PS - I added more to the quoted post while you were quoting it.

Weird, most people said that pic is very good (it's my current av on fb) - you're the first one who said that negative things about this pic in particular.
But hence the results (objective voting) are low then who to believe? probably you? |

Well, I would take people who know you in real life over my opinion based on a few on-line photos, of course. But if most of your pictures have been at that angle, maybe there wasn't a great sample to choose from? Or maybe you just aren't photogenic. I don't know, I just can't help but feel that the picture isn't flattering because of the angle at which it was taken.

Well, I sincerely meant it when I said that I look at the pictures and believe the real guy is much more attractive than the picture. I haven't been able to get a picture of myself in years that I like, and my husband most definitely IS better looking than 95% of his pictures, so ....

All she did was give an opinion. What you do with that information is of course up to you.

Generalizations both negative and positive (which i see plenty of for both genders) always miss this. But you do have to agree that as individuals theres a point where a lot of people will have the same XXXXX, if that grows large enough it can become a generalization and if it grows more it can become expected out of people |
it is inaccurate to apply it to a whole group. if i date 5 men and they are all assholes, i cannot conclude that all men are assholes.
i am not sure where the generalisations arise from as they seem to predate a person's actual experience with applicable groups. as a teacher i used to hear children spouting nonsense about the opposite sex, which presumably they heard from their parents as children would not have experienced anything yet.
