Does he give a shit if he takes pictures of you like this?

But I thought men were visual creatures 🤔

No. He doesn't want her to have a chance if he ditches her.

Most relationships with men are sabotage.

Don't read the comments. People mistake the lack of effort in taking a proper picture for affection.

Option 1: he doesn't give a shit about you in the slightest, it's all about him

Option 2: he's purposely taking bad pics to embarrass you

Option 3: he's purposely taking bad pics so that if he posts them to social media his gf doesn't look too desirable/intimidating to other women who could become his side piece

Women are more likely to take flattering pictures of their boyfriends because for many the man we snag is a status symbol and something we're heavily judged on.
For men, it's having a woman at all that's a status symbol on which they're judged.

My ex always demanded pictures of him for his "travel blog" on IG. Once when we were exploring a beautiful island in Japan, he wanted me to take pictures of him as usual, like at least 100 pictures from each spot, so he could pick the best one. When I did the first round, he scolded me that I can't even take a decent picture. I snapped at him, saying that if I am so useless, why does he even ask me to do it? He got mad and left me and my friend who was there with us, and he went on his own. Then we had to leave the island and we met in a port randomly, and I tried to talk to him nicely and he showed me a middle finger lol. Then he gave me a silent treatment for a few days

So guess who has like 10000 pictures of himself from Japan, and who has like three.

My ex-husband always cut off parts of my face, my entire head and the camera would be out of focus.

What pricks! Wow!

A few guys I dated *specifically* ASKED to take pictures of me. Or they just took candid shots that were cute. They were pretty nice pictures and it was really sweet. Guys who want to have pictures of you to look at and to give pictures of yourself to you are out there and if that's important to you absolutely don't settle for less. I have many exes who wouldn't ever take pictures of me and it's like... what's the point, then?

“I don’t know how to take pics!” They say when it’s literally just point and shoot. My ex never took pics of me but when he did they were humiliating. He got a kick out of it though 😒

He's sabotaging your memories. That's depravity.

My ex boyfriend used to do this. I would tell him time and time again to take the picture at my eye line of slightly above, turned 3/4s to the camera and not straight on. It got to the point where he would make fun of me 'take it from about my eye line' because I had to repeat myself every. Single. Time. In the end I gave up. I'd take a flattering picture of him and then a selfie of myself while on holiday somewhere memorable.

eluriaeve · 2020-11-15T06:06:02+00:00

I... I’ve just realized I’ve never had a man I’ve dated want to take pictures of me or with me. None of them cared enough 😅

purasangria · 2020-11-15T01:12:30+00:00

Just more proof of how useless most men are, and how little they care.

yolosunshine · 2020-11-15T02:45:20+00:00

The spin on this article is gross.

Ok I have a question: I have a FEMALE friend who straight up only takes ugly photos of me and like she'll take 8-10 from the absolute worst angles. People usually find me attractive but I showed my own mom the photos this 'friend' took and even she said "hey you almost look deformed what the heck"... Question is, is she just lousy at taking photos or does she just not care/wants me to look uglier?

I spontaneously take photos of her when I see her in good light, and always make an effort to get her good angles, lots of photos etc.. On Halloween my roommate took 10 (all great) photos of me in my makeup and costume, I get to the party at this friend takes 10 of the worst photos I have EVER (and I really mean ever) seen of myself. I also always have to ask her if she can take a photo etc.

So I guess my question is: is this person a frenemy? Is more information needed to figure this out? How do I deal with this?

I personally can’t see a problem with it because I do the same thing with my friends/family/exes just out of fun, but never post it unless they want me to. Now if they post it or something without you knowing, then it’s a dick move and I’d assume they don’t want anyone thinking you’re attractive.
