Is it cheating when you take a photo of yourself...

[Deja Q]

And you ensure you stand up straight and hide the gut? :D

Mine isn't entirely atrocious - I've seen far, far worse on guys who actually have partners (gay/straight/ovenmitts/whatever) - but I'm still ashamed of mine.

1. If it is, I cheat too

I try not to post pics where I look fat and unattractive. I certainly take plenty of them, but that's why my camera has a delete button.

2. Nope...real cheating is

cutting and pasting your head on the body of Brad Pitt.

3. It's cheating

Besides I like a bit of a gut on a guy..... gotta have something to get your hands around.

First time I ever tucked a tight shirt in and noticed I had a gut (gone now sadly) I thought "Today I have truly become a man!"
I was totally chuffed. And I ain't kiddin'.

Khash.

4. No

That's just good posture. ;)

5. I will not take pictures of myself, and discourage others

from taking pictures of me, precisely because I can't cheat -- trying to suck it in doesn't work; there's too much to hide. I'm even beyond PhotoShop. So if you can suck it in effectively, I envy you; do it.

6. It's not cheating unless you airbrush.

Don't be ashamed. Embrace it or get rid of it. Gotta be comfy with who you are and how you look, or at least work towards how you want to look.

8. no, if you can't edit/direct yourself into the best 'light' possible...

what's the point

9. You know what's sexy?

Self-confidence, no matter HOW you look.


Have you ever been attracted to an overweight, or otherwise conventionally "unattractive" person? There you go; they weren't "unattractive" after all.


Know of any attractive but overweight celebrities? Politicians? Friends? There you go.


Flvegan is wise: Embrace it or change it, but don't keep it and hate it.
