To him, the pictures he takes of you look like those top two.

For real, most of the pictures I have of my girlfriend are gorgeous, but she thinks they're hideous. I wish I could accurately convey to her how beautiful I think she is.

Seriously, my wife's biggest critic is my wife.

And anybody who bad talks my wife is getting a spanking

Wait. Oh, nice.

When my wife starts criticizing herself I say "Stop! I don't let anyone talk about my wife that way"

Oh you want to have candlelight dinners and walk along the canal in moonlight holding hands with a woman?

That's so gay.

Real men fuck men.

Nothing gayer than loving a woman amirite fellas?

[–] [email protected] 165 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] blanketswithsmallpox 34 points 8 months ago

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 14 points 8 months 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.

[–] UsernameIsTooLon 10 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Ah Wabi-sabi in action, love it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

If he’s anything like me, vice versa too

Mirrors shatter into powder under my awful gaze

[–] [email protected] 81 points 8 months ago

Too late, already sent this to my bf

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

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

[–] billwashere 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

My wife would absolutely agree.

[–] menemen 20 points 8 months ago

She has a boyfriend?

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's capture a real moment, not something staged or manipulated to appear better than it is.

[–] Emerald 4 points 8 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] afraid_of_zombies 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Because they would have had a field day with this.

[–] Sorgan71 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

[–] Landless2029 6 points 8 months ago
