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

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.

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year 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.

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.

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 1 year ago

Ah Wabi-sabi in action, love it.

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 8 points 1 year ago

If he’s anything like me, vice versa too

Mirrors shatter into powder under my awful gaze

Too late, already sent this to my bf

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

My wife would absolutely agree.

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

She has a boyfriend?

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

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

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

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

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

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I've seen it ages ago...
