not so sure about this.

Every goddamn morning i stand up and look in the mirror and see my abs and biceps vein and everything looks alright, but in the evening i just feel bloated and fat lulz.

My personal explanation for this phenomenon : After i took a hueg dump my stomach and guts are empty and i am probably a little dehydrated.

brb going to the gym now, when i get back ill take a pic on webcam and post it here .. 99% chances are that im not gonna look like i thought i would

**vik_man** · 08-23-2011, 06:08 AM

it's worse with the body. i went on an epic dirty bulk last year and from looking in mirrors thought i was staying pretty lean...had to see some pictures of me out to realize how fat i was getting haha

**Iriathz** · 08-23-2011, 06:08 AM

But... What if you take a self picture in a mirror?

Nah man same thing happens to me in the morning (dehydrated, empty stomach), but that's not really what I was referring to.

Is it just me or do the gym mirrors make you look more muscular

**MikeD4386** · 08-23-2011, 06:17 AM

this thread comes up every single weak and the consensus has always been that mirrors are real life and cameras are fake.

THe fact that you see urself flipped over doesnt matter. Something to do with cameras only having one lense so there is no depth perception, whereas a mirror still has epth perceptions.

THere have even been scientific publications posted on this. srs

I look was better in the mirror than i really look

**TooAmazing** · 08-23-2011, 06:19 AM

perception how does it work.

take a picture of yourself and flip it. Put it next to the other one. Mind = Blown they look like different people.

Now take a picture of someone else.
Flip it and put it next to the other one. Its the same person just flipped.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUARK

**JP_1987** · 08-23-2011, 06:40 AM

or how you look when watching a video of yourself...weird as phuck cuzzzz

**iQQx** · 08-23-2011, 06:40 AM

**NapBizzy** · 08-23-2011, 06:43 AM

i am so tired of this

here's the answer you're looking for

mirrors=the real fuking deal. To dispute this is to dispute science itself. A mirror reflects light you son of a c#nt whore. A mirror is real life except "flipped" but it doesn't really matter or make that much of a difference

fuk what you heard about pictures, they are fuked up and phony. Don't trust photos. That's why some ppl may be butt ugly in real life, but look good in pictures. It's fuked up i know

the mirror doesn't lie. It can't. It's fuking science.

You look in the mirror - you see yourself normal or even swole

You look down on yourself - you look fat and do i even lift mode

You look on pictures of you from a camera - you look retarted as fukc, too thin, too fat, ugly or whatever, because you know other people are looking at the exact same pictures of you and might have a bad picture of you (literally).

Also notice how your mirror pic/photogenicity gets worse and worse the more anxious / nervous you are.

conclusion : the mirror/camera pic depends on your momentary self-esteem.

fuuuu me 100%

I knew this would happen but wasn't aware how 'drastic' the effect was,

Go to your photos on ********
Prnt Screen
Paste into paint
Select "flip horizontal"

all of a sudden i'm beautiful again, just shows how much the mind plays tricks man.

In a regular photo I'm not seeing what I see when i look in a mirror, so in my mind that means im ugly/its a bad photo
In a photo were the image has been mirrored = fuarrk you sexy c�nt

it's crazy that its all in your head though, i mean nobody else would see any difference when you mirror the image.

but if it makes you feel better; mirror your images before you put them on ******** lol...

**icewill36** · 08-23-2011, 06:52 AM

interesting....still cant tell whether im good looking or not

**TyBaseball** · 08-23-2011, 06:55 AM

**Realityy** · 08-23-2011, 07:03 AM

I've always wondered this. I look 10x better in the mirror than photo...
