So your photogenic only if you like your own photos? Wtf? That's not up to you. It's up to other ppl to say you're photogenic.
If you say people usually see themselves as more attractive and less flawed than they actually are, what is happening inside someone's mind when they see themselves as less attractive and more flawed than other people comment perceiving? Is that a psychological anomaly caused by complex post traumatic stress for example? Or is that more of a character trait such as perfectionism ? Thanks for your content on the anthropology of facial aesthetics, very interesting approach.
“Most people find themselves more attractive than they are” shhhhhh ain’t nobody need to know that. we’re already struggling lol.
Right😭😭
To me, the context of the video doesn’t seem to support that.
lots of people know your imperfection better than you do because they see it all day, we mentally try to ignore our own imperfections in the mirror and in pictures to convince ourselves we look better.
just like our eyes subconsciously block our nose, our mind also blocks our imperfections in the mirror!
@@melsoro7311 No that's actually false because. U know ur imperfections better than others because others don't go around looking at someone's faces to find imperfections but we do.
hahahah 😂
I like pictures taken by people that understand angles and lighting. Most people just snap the first thing that gets in the lens.
My mum does that, that’s why I don’t like her taking my picture lmao
@@LELAisLEAN yasss but she just doesn't understand even when i tell her shes like "but my phone has a good camera" like yeah ily but you suck
@@LELAisLEAN my mom does it too 😩
I take such good pics of my friends and take care of all the lighting or bad angles. But when it comes to them, gosh they make me look the most awk person infront of camera...
@@levixman dude IKR it's like "damn r we even true friends da fk is dis"
I thought i looked bad in all photos, then I got an SLR camera, and started taking super high quality pics, now they look like the mirror. So I don't care what anyone says, phone cameras suck.
@No Soup For You single-lens reflex camera, but if you just look up SLR cameras (they're professional cameras) you'll see what i mean
@@maxamillion2140 would some high quality phones have that feature ?
@@johnnytsunami3558 I'm sure there's one out there, I have the iphone 12 and it isnt as good though.
@@maxamillion2140 oh man if that phone dont have great quality then maybe not, unless samsung does
@@johnnytsunami3558 it has great quality for random photos, but not super high quality photos of people like SLRs
Just remember lads , the camera is a single lens whereas eyes are double lenses placed on different positions... So , you don't look exactly like your photos irl...
There are models who look better in photos like toni mahfud, but yeah he has had several plastic surgeries and retouches his photos to a great extent, I saw this male model from Pakistan called "imran abbas", this guy literally looks different in every photo!, like literally, a classic example of a seriously normal and plain looking guy retouching his photos to look great, but yet even after a lot of editing and retouching he ends up looking like a girl with a beard
Having two "lenses" just changes depth perception,nothing else
Yeah, especially because focal length.
Omg thankyou

PAIN
"People find themselves more attractive than they actually are"So what you're saying is I should start thinking I'm a 12/10 and that'll make me a 10. BIG BRAIN TIME
@buttercup baby I mean, statistically speaking, what the fuck would you or I know about that? XD
@buttercup baby Why does it matter what women think? You can be attractive for yourself
@buttercup baby any evidence?
@buttercup baby I mean..... 😅😂😂
@buttercup baby Stop talking for all women if you're not one of them
My fear is that since I already find myself ugly and studies show that we overestimate our attractiveness, that I am uglier in reality than I already think, lmaoo
Word
Same
Haha yeah same here
Yeah I don't believe this. There's studies that show that alot of people think they bigger or fatter than what we are and tbh I feel we look at our flaws more than other people. Maybe it depends on the person.

"The Mere Effect"
"The Mirror Effect"
Damn, that's confusing but fitting
The mere mirror effect
I don't think cameras portray anything close to reality. Once I made an experiment. I looked at my sister through her reflection in the mirror and then I took a picture of her and the mirror was giving me the realest image. The phone picture changed so many of her proportions and the colors were not accurate at all. The mirror was like looking at her directly, it was just flipped, that's it.
Also, if someone takes a really bad picture of you it may be because your expression is really bad or you got caught out of guard. I have taken pictures of friends in wich they're talking or eating and not posing and they look like I had never seen them look in my life.
Thank u!! Both great comments
Either you look at your sister directly or through the mirror, they're both in third person POV.
This comment made me feel better
😍😍
I just want to know how I look like to other people.
i think i looked good before but i fucked up my tongue posture or smth ..
It’s all subjective so impossible to really know
How do people treat you? If your female how attractive you are directly correlates to how people treat you.
@@mstarburst hmmm. Interesting.
People always look at me weirdly (maybe it's just paranoia or narcissism 💀)
"Harsh, undiffused lighting accentuates the sharp contours of the face *which is great if you're a lean Greek god..* but not for the average person"
*P-R-E-A-C-H*
I had the same issues with not considering myself photogenic until a photographer explained to me it's actually the photographer's job to make you look good (meaning it's their job to bring out the best in you - find the best angles, lighting etc)
Correct! A painter wouldn't blame the subject for how his/her painting turned out.

QOVES: "People perceive themselves to be more attractive than they are"
Me: I-
Me: but-
Me: but I-
Me: HOW can I possibly be less attractive than I think I am?!?
😂
Damn man this just destroyed the little bit of self esteem I had
Many researches show quite the opposite tho that we’re more attractive than we think we are
But he said at the beginning that we only focus on one feature when we look in the mirror, which makes us think we're uglier than we actually are
Kinda contradictory lol
I mean, it probably depends on the person. Some people DEFINITELY think that they are uglier than they really are. In fact, ive noticed that more often than the other way around.
To whoever watched this and felt bad about themselves. I actually think we see ourselves uglier than other people do because some of us concentrate on little things in their features and obsess about how wrong or ugly it makes them look. Whereas people look at you as a whole, they dont focus on all of your features. Lets say you've got asymmetrical eyes. You may notice them but others won't really notice it that much unless its incredibly and obviously asymmetrical.
I've suffered with this on my own, I think I look great in the mirror/pic but once the picture is flipped I notice how weird I look. I kinda figured I wasnt used to seeing my face flipped and I'm kinda getting used to these photos..nothing has changed you're just looking from a different prespective.
The more you’ll look at your flipped picture, the more you’ll feel less weird about your flipped pictures, you’ll get more and more used to it and accept this is how you look like flipped.. which is sort of the exact same you when you’re in a mirror (but flipped).
That being said, dont let anything or anyone make you feel bad about how you look, especially yourself.. dont give yourself a hard time about it. dont obsess about it. there are better things in life
Also, stop watching videos like this. Try to see what works for you, a certain angle, pose, lightening, different make up, colours. everyone looks different, just be confident and you'll exert positive energy.
Thank you for this 💗

I came to this video ugly and left uglier 😭😭
I feel sorry for laughing at this lol
Lmaooo facts
Same😔😆
Same 💔
I don't care it's just a fucking THEORY
I think the mirror is accurate because whenever I've looked in the mirror with my friends or other peoplle they always look the same as they do in person versus we've all seen weird photos of our friends where they don't look like themselves
@@AbhishekSingh-hu5ee Not sure if you're fishing for compliments or not, so here's one - you are not ugly at all.
Here is the thing even thou you look your friends via mirror and say that they look the same, you dont know how they actually see themselves to begin with so you comparing your view of them in the mirror with cameras wheras it should have been you seeing your friends from their eyes(exactly from their point of views, like i said their eyes if possibl-which is not-) and than comparing it with the camera. So when you ask your friend for example, "in real life, do i look like the way i look like in mirrors or in cameras?" And they answer, right? Guees what
The answer is not important because even the way you see yourself in the mirror and the way your friend sees you in the mirror different. Even if he says "in mirrors"
Than you think to yourself
"Hmm finally that is how like after all huh?" And look at mirror
That thing that you see in the mirror is not exactly what your friends or other people see, so you still dont know if you really look like the way you like in mirrors, to find out how you look your soul needs to get out of your body i guess.
Here is what i believe mirrors are realer? Which ones?
Lets be real
Some mirrors make you look terrible wheres others make yoy look maybe way better than yoy actually look
Just like cameras
Some make you look like shit
Some make you look good
They probably shows us the same thing but depending on our mood depending on how much sleep we took depending on how we thing about ourselves at that moment depending on what we experienced before looking at mirror or taking a picture ( obviously when you have chat, laugh with your friends and look at the miror afterwards your mood is good so you will think that you look good, but lets say you did something bad and you feel regret or basically you feel any kind of negative emotion, and you look at miror and you will probably see a ugly motherfucker there) depending on what we used to look at( if you used to look at mirrors than your face will be weird in photos for you, pay attention, for you i said, others will see you the same because thats hoe your face actually looks) etc depending on so many things we will see a good looking person or a bad looking person. But there is only a difference between cameras and mirrors just for us, for other people we both look like the way we look like in cameras and mirrors
same, that's exactly what I thought
I had my boyfriend stand in a mirror with me and more times than not I thought he looked better in person than seeing him in the mirror lol. I guess it's all about familiarity. I'm not used to seeing his mirror image, so it looked off to me, and therefore slightly less attractive
Same my friend looks the same in the mirror as I see him face to face
Most attractive people i know , they not photogenic, they attractive in person but don’t know what to do in front of a camera
Me too im attractive in Person but Not in front of camera😢
I bet there is a similar effect on people we know. Probably everyone finds their partner more attractive than they really are.
Who we find attractive is influenced by so many things.
Perhaps their is a notable difference between beauty and attractiveness.
Since we associate being with them and looking at them, they tend to appear more attractive to us. So no matter how ugly you think you are, your partner will always think you're beautiful
your partner and your friends are all familiar faces that you are used to looking at, up close, far away, and from any angle and any facial expression. so i think the people closest to you must find you the most attractive
@@melsoro7311 that's a really good point. maybe a good reason why we think people in our league are actually more attractive than us.
Definitely. I'm Demisexual, meaning I never find anyone physically attractive until after I start to bond with them or get to know them. Then I begin to look at them and find things about them that are attractive physically. Yeah someone can be technically beautiful but I won't find them attractive at all without knowing them.
I usually have a first impression where I can find you attractive or not, but as we get to know eachother it changes. I will find you physically less attractive if I don't like you, I will still know that objectively you're rather attractive, but I won't see you that way. If I like you, I will see you as more attractive.
The more I like you, the more you become physically attractive, the more I hate you, the more you become physically unattractive to me.
I guess I choose what features I focus on. When I like you I unconsciously focus on all your pretty features and when I don't like you I unconsciously focus more on the features I consider unattractive.
So yea, to me life is a bit like a Disney movie 😂😂. The nicer you are, the prettier you are.

The theory of our pictures being foreign compared to our mirror image also works with our recorded voice. Our recorded voice sounds foreign because it's projected at us as opposed to us projecting it outward. Another reason it sounds foreign is that It's missing the resonance of our skulls.
Is this scientifically proven that we percieve ourselves more attractive than we actually are? Cause I read somewhere that people see us 20% more attractive than we see ourselves?
Yes and no. There was one study about how people tend to view them self as more attractive because of “self enhancement”. However, other studies have opposite results. It really depends on the person and study.
You know what, i actually believe this from personal experience. I think its bc people see you from different angles but you can't.
Heard that women, specifically, see themselves less attractive than they actually are.
@@irene-bz2yq Women see themselves much more fat than they are. I am 53 kilos with 170 cm height and thought I was insanely fat until I watched a group of my co-workers and me interviewed all together,we were all standing and talking,I realized I am very fit tho.The crowd of my co-workers weren't fat at all.
It just varies from person to person. There's not some "one size fits all".
I've known that I'm ugly since I was a child but everytime I look at my mirror reflection, I can't help but think I'm pretty.
I'm satisfied with what I see and I'm beautiful in the eyes of the people who love me so it's a win-win situation for me.
That seems nice i wish that I'll be able to feel like that someday
Looking back at my old photos, I always think I looked more attractive when I was younger. I’m 16 right now, so it’s not like I’m that much older. It’s just weird how I didn’t think I was attractive back then but now I do
lol I'm the opposite, I used to think my pictures are attractive but when I look at them now I'm like eww
exactly! i bet in a few years i’ll look at photos from now and think i’m attractive...

That will happen for the rest of your life. 🙃
I think I looked prettier when I was a toddler... Now, well- I look swollen 😂😂😂
This is confusing...
Correct me if I am wrong.
Mirror: is just the flipped version of you, no other type of distortion.
Camera: unflipped version of you, but with multiple types of distortion that is difficult to adjust for.
So, if you want to see the real you then use true mirror.
@@gm836 😂😂🤣🤣😂
Interesting that study that you perceive yourself as more attractive than you actually are. I remember hearing that it was the opposite, that generally we are more attractive than we think we are since we're so critical on our own appearances and less critical of others
I think I'm one of the few people who thinks I'm less attractive than I really am. I never believe people when they compliment me. I've had issues about this my entire life.
Same it kinda sucks though, it makes me feel less confident sometimes.
I’m the exact opposite. I used to believe I was ugly, but that was because I highlighted the flaws I saw in myself rather than lets everyone else be the judge of that and focus on more important things. I’m not gonna cap, now days, I see myself as more attractive thanks to me just being neutral about my appearance and letting reactions from others decide, even then I still wont let it get to my head.
It always switches for me. Mostly I think I’m average with some makeup on...and without I’m just boring lol If I get a compliment I suddenly feel great and think “Hey, maybe I’m actually pretty to some people!” Lol it’s a confidence booster until I see other people that are actually attractive and I start doubting again. Ah well, I guess that’s being human.
It's actually both for all of us, we highlight certain features an feel ugly, but we also don't notice other features that are actually not how we see them, it's not that it makes other people like our looks more or less, other people usually don't care about how you look, so they'll think you're more beautiful as they have no goal to find all the flaws you have.
Ugh finally someone understands how I feel. I do get a lot of compliments but I just can’t help but feel that they’re either lying to me or feel bad for me because I’m ugly

@Jack Schmitt well thanks but all you see is a profile picture haha, I chose it because I think I look okay. In real life my skin is super dry, I have a ton of acne scars that can't be covered with makeup, and I could go on and on. But the main problem isn't that, the issue is that I don't associate the "inner me" with the person I see in the mirror/camera sometimes. Sometimes I do like how I look, but only with a certain distance, angle, lightning and mirror. If that changes, my proportions look very different and therefore my entire perception turns against me, and it feels like I'm looking at a stranger
I tell myself that I'm a 10/10 in the mirror because I know that nobody else will. Gotta be your biggest hypeman when you look like me

In conclusion: it is IMPOSSIBLE to actually perceive reality

Just stand on a street corner with a box to accept votes, and a table with a pen and paper. Then stand there so strangers can anonymously vote on your appearance from 1-10. You’ll get some trolls but some might be honest 😁
I've also seen studies that say that our reflection in the mirror is closer to what we actually look like. Personally, I don't know what's true, but what I do know is that when a friend is standing next to me and I see them in a mirror (or directly), then they always look different than in a photograph. Whether it's a good photograph or not.
I think its because you see yourself in 3 dimensions. A camera distorts spatial distance
Mostly mobile camera are 30mm typish look
Mirror video have something like 50mm typish look
So professional cameraman uses 80mm to take photos
Even if you are very good look you'll look bad in 30mm portrait
Woah 3:22 really shows how lighting affects your face!
I do modeling, I always think I look terrible in pictures and in real life but clearly that is not what other people think. Its just self esteem, it's not how you actually look. You often times think you look way worse than you actually do in any medium. Everyone is more Beautiful than they think they are and your loved ones should tell you this
7:58 "Pictures are what we actually look like, not what we see in the mirror".
No, I disagree. Although, my daughter has great pictures, she looks so much better in person, than in pictures, despite the camera quality used.
The mirror is more accurate. Lmao Have you seen most ppl in pics vs reality? Alot of ppl look better in pics. There are a lot of ppl who look better in person than in pics too, which proves that the mirror image is more accurate.
Damn I must be ugly as hell.
I'm realising that too lmao
I'm sure you're not! It's just societal forces. I'm sure you're beautiful or handsome.

Being photogenic does apply to some people. Regardless of lighting or how uneven their face looks, there is still something pleasant about them

I usually just put two hand mirrors at a 90 degree angle, and when I look straight into the "corner" created by the mirrors, it shows my face as how others would see it. I use this technique to check it my eyebrows are even.
My friends looks sucks in photos but i see her face to face , she's more beautiful than the photos .
Be confident in your skin and embrace your looks
I've always thought that photos look bad because they're frozen images of a mobile face. In the mirror, or on film, we see our faces moving.
There are types of faces which are more 'mobile' than others, with the effect depending on expression rather than perfect features. A camera can't capture this. Videos can, and sometimes stills from vids can be selected to catch a moment when faces are showing a typical expression.
Having said that, someone once told me that a true reflection of ourselves is the one we catch, unawares, in a shop window when out shopping/whatever and not looking our best.
Thought the same thing
"If the pictures is taken with camera extremely close to the face or the camera focused on a single part of the face, it can result in a distorted and unattractive pictures..."
B.. But I look much better when my face is close to the lense(?) Does that mean my distorted face is attractive(???)
This used to drive me crazy some years ago. I found myself so ugly in photos that I hated seeing them, while I'd play model in front of the mirror. And I get compliments on my looks fairly often. So confusing.
Eventually I just forced myself to accept that I am the handsome dude in the mirror, but that I'll never like my photos. This video only reinforces that.
I’m going to pretend I never watched this video :)
Photos can also cause lens distortion and they only show one frame of one emotion on your face, in mirrors you see your whole face and in great quality, due to the faft that our eyes are better cameras then our phone cameras and there is no lens distortion
yeah, when you look at yourself in a mirror, you see yourself in motion and your brain captures all the beautiful angles of your face. with a camera, you only capture one.
The way I look in the mirror before I get out of the house determines how well I do in the day. So in a way thinking that I am attractive that I am is gonna help me in more than one ways. Think of this in a positive way. Also if someone shames you or something for not being attractive remember you don't need such people in your life who don't love you for who you are peirodt
"People accept compliments more easily and reject critical opinions" that's bullshit at least in my case, I tend to believe bad comments and reject compliments. I don't even like compliments, they make me feel uncomfortable
Exactly
me:- looks into the mirror and say who is this handsome beautiful guy
also me taking selfie:- delete the photo in 0.5 sec

i always had soooo much anxiety taking pictures. in senior year of high school, i got my senior pictures done by my skii teammates sister, who was supposedly training to be a professional, but they turned out awful. the worst angles and the worst lighting ever. i was only 17 but i looked 36. and being asian, idk how , but i feel like she made my eyes look even smaller, which is an insecurity of mine. being a socially driven teenager i edited the shit out of them before they made the yearbook. i compare that time to the time i got them professionally done in korea at a hanbok store, and the difference is crazy. the guy really knew the best angles for my asian face, and he really focused a lot more on posing and background to balance the reflection of light. i actually looked like me and not some weirdo i didnt recognize. or...maybe thats just my self preservation....
There's some absolute gems in this video! i.e. split second lighting shots and fast posing 👏
I remember in one of the photography class, the teacher said that a human eye is the best camera (lens).

5:18 I have read studies which found effects differ and generalising, men tend to overestimate their attractiveness while women underestimate it, but, interestingly, men tend to still lower their standards when dating, while keeping the initial standards (attractiveness of the partner) congruent with their own. They found women tend to have standards incongruent with their own (a bit higher) and do not easily lower them, in general.
Lighting makes a huge difference. I'm been working on this for my zoom meetings at work.
I feel like I am constantly disappointing the narrator
I feel you
I think videos and mirrors are the most accurate, regardless of a good or ugly photo it will never truly capture the natural shadows around the face. I consider videos taken a couple feet away from the person to be the most accurate.
This video pointed out that we perceive ourselves as more attractive than we really are but attractiveness is subjective so even if we consider ourselves more attractive it doesn’t matter and it isn’t a bad thing because everyone’s idea of attractiveness is completely different. Love what you were born with, you are all attractive!!
Woa, this was super interesting. I wish that everyone with body dysmorphia or other self perception struggles could watch this and know this information. Thanks for making it :)
okay... what if you're like me and have body dysmorphia
It has been suggested that body dysmorphia is a lack of the mere effect
Start smoking a lot of weed eventually you won't give a fuck

you’re fucked
basically learn to stop caring, i know people with amazing bodies who have body dysmorphia, its a complete mental battle. conquer your mind. the mind is powerful
That moment when you look at the mirror and find yourself ugly
“Maybe I shouldn’t take a picture of me”
3:59 The guy doing different poses so elegantly cracks me up
I just want to see myself from someone else's eyes so I could know if I look exact same as in mirror or not
Sammmeee 😭😭
Look at a video of yourself 🥰
basically you can just see someone else from a mirror and camera and then from your eyes to see how much difference it makes
@@GeniusSays I look horrible at videos lol
This question has bothered me for the longest time, thanks for covering !! 😃
what I see in the mirror: a potato
what I actually am: rotten potato
cool.
That was reassuring, I have been told (by people that love me, not random people) 'you are the prettiest in this group photo' when I can not even master the courage to look at me in it (maybe I hang out with really ugly people too)....
I mean, my face just looks deformed to me. It is so weird, feel terrible for people that struggle with Body Dysmorphia it really really messes with your mind to see your body so differently and not knowing how 'it is in real life'.
This video just reminded me of this quote:
"If faces were different when lit from above or below - what was a face? What was anything?" - Lord of the Flies
Every single video you make is gold. Please keep going!
Shout out to those whose pictures are the same on both photos and mirror,cuz they're ugly no matter what🙁🤧
Reading the comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one asking the question whether I am actually super ugly because I do not see myself as attractive in the mirror as this video claims people do. But it actually makes me feel okay, because even if I am truly ugly, I'm not alone 🤗
No one's born ugly we are just born in a judgemental society.

This has just heightened my anxiety about being ugly because now I know that people who see me in real life are seeing the ugly me (the photo version) and not the flipped mirror one that had me fooled and thinking I am not that bad looking. :(
What always messed me up is the way I see people I know in pictures, and their reflection in the mirror is the same as how I see them in person
But there’s a good 10 different versions of my face out here in the universe
The mirror version, the iPhone front cam, iPhone back cam, DSLR, mirror, supermarket security camera etc and I look like a whole different person in every set up like if I had to choose my face in a crowd I’d fail
Yea I suppose it's right, my friends and family always say I look good in photos even when I think I don't. But still can't help having that feeling that they might be saying it to not offend me
My school chromebook camera inverted had ruined my confidence. I’ve never realized how unsymmetrical I am 😭😭😭😭
This video is in the right time. For weeks on end I was obsessed to figure out exactly what I looked like. I feel, it's a combo of things and not exactly just one thing.
Selfies are the worst picture of yourself you can ever see because the phone is always too close and that distorts the image. The further away you can get the phone the more attractive you look. When I first started taking selfies I was like omg am I really that ugly??? Lol turns out no I'm not that ugly in real life! Thank god! This is also why they say to not use selfies on dating sites.
When I look at someone who is with me that is also standing in front of the mirror, they look identical whether I'm looking directly at them or their reflection. They do look different in photos though. There are so many variables that go into a photo or video that can lessen the accuracy of the real world image.
dude cameras DO make you look different. i've even seen other people take pics and the camera makes them look different. the mirror is not wrong and its not an effect.
This is best video that covers this topic you guys always amazes me the way you tackle these topic are unique and informative and I love the narrator's voice very calming and easy to listen to
Content I didn’t know I needed
this made me feel better bc im not super ugly in photos. i like seeing myself in camera and in mirrors
