Most women also seem to have a "best side". But when I have photos taken, and I'm not giving 'em 'my best side' (LOL) - i sometimes get, quite the a surprise.Īlso, as Empty star mentioned, we seem to think "I look horrible and everyone else looks fine", and when we hear people complain about their photos - we can't seem to spot the problem other than that they were never good looking to begin with (lol, joke). When I look in the mirror, I try and see a good looking man (more so than usual) so I turn my head a little, adjust the eyes or what ever else and I'm ready for my close up. but i think that peple that get photographed for a living, do modify their faces in front of the camera - for instance, models make their lips pouty and squeeze their noses in, open their eyes wider, stick their chests outor whatever.That's pretty much it.

I think that when you take a photograph, there is less of this posing, since you cannot see yourself and make adjustments. yet i am sure that normal people do it to a lesser extent. i had no idea i was doing this but so many people tell me i do and ask me 'why do you do that?' and im like 'what?'Īnyway, i think it came from my mother used to ridicule my appearance and tell me i am ugly and stupid looking, so for me it is pretty extreme that i cannot acccept my appearance as it is. so it is not my mind making adjustments, but it is *me* physically making them. Other people tell me that i make 'funny faces' when i look in the mirror.

I thnk there is another explanation: the person looking in the mirror is physically contorting their face to adjust and look better.
