why do they say "this is a horrible pic of me but. When they know they are beautiful? just curious

some people don't know that about themselves.

Noone ever sees themselves realistically...

False modesty / Fishing for compliments

You can be beautiful but look horrible at a certain pic, no? Or at least in you own opinion. I don't like the pics in which I'm smiling, but my mother seems to adore them, for example.

I can have perfect timing with my posts sometimes.

Man, I do have some pics where I look like a complete imbecile. No one, well maybe only one person, here would say "girl, you look great" if I showed them to you. They are really really disgusting. If I had a scanner I would show them, but I haven't.

MarieLouise said:

Yeah, right... You probably look like those supermodels when they're grimacing to look funny/ugly and still look pretty damn great.

Get your ass to store to get a scanner, then bring on the pics and let us be the judge.

retina said:

I swear to you those pics are horrible. My grins are so out of control sometimes, and my eyes turn the other way like I'm dying or something. Moreover, during 80 percent of the time I look very pale.

But I do have a terrific pic as well, which was meant to be on of those horrible ones. Taken when my ex-boyfriend said 'pose for me' and I threw my head back. It was meant to be funny, but the result is a great sensual blurry black-and-white pic.

MarieLouise said:

Like I said, GET YO ASS TO THE STORE ALREADY.

retina said:

Out of the 500 euros I have each month I won't be able to pay a scanner. First goal is a digital camera.

I know I've posted this pic before, but I feel the need to do it once again.

This pic is taken by the same photographer. It's a pity I forgot to shave that day.

MarieLouise said:

You see? This just proves my point. Okay, so you could have trimmed the ear hair a bit, but look at those eyes! And those lips!

retina said:

I know I look awful on that one but I wanted to post in anyway.

retina said:

yep.

It's the same when you frantically clean up your place for a visitor and then say "I'm sorry it's such a mess".
It's so you are supposed to think normally you look even better - which the case may be, (but if you are talking about my licence photo I will tell you I NEVER looked as good as that!)

i hate pics where i am smiling

and ones where i am suffering from glowing face with creepy yellow eyes
