This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You're used to seeing your mirror image. You aren't perfectly symmetrical, so your reflection looks slightly different than your image in a camera.

I remember seeing a study saying the most attractive people had somewhat asymmetrical faces but there's a sweet spot for it. Attractiveness reduces again if the face is too asymmetrical.

Are you sure it said asymmetrical?

I read something on the topic (though, awhile ago now) and it talked about symmetry being attractive, and even gave Denzel Washington as an example because he had a remarkably symmetrical face.

Wud be really interesting if asymmetry is found attractive now!

For Exhibit B, look at Natalie Dormer. I can never get images to link right, so look her up.
