It is more nuanced.
I'm what you would consider handsome, until you take a picture of me. Then I look just fucked, I don't know what it is about my face but it has to be in motion.
You might just be better in person. Don't know, but I think it's all about perspective. No one will like you if you can't find a way to like yourself.
You likely don't know how to take pictures. There was one "coach" that I've seen who basically said take 100 selfies a day to get skilled at taking pictures of yourself. As well as when taken by someone else. That way you know what poses, angles and expressions work and don't work for you. There's obviously more about it, but point is that everything needs practice, and a lot of it.
Is it odd that I feel weird practicing taking pictures of myself? What you're saying makes perfect sense, I just feel grimy in the doing.
It's not odd imo. I feel weird about it too. But I can't help but accept it as a fact which works. All the insta addicted people essentially do this every day for years and it's why they're able to produce good pictures.
