Apparently you're 5x uglier than you see yourself in the mirror

[dakensta]

5x? broscience.
it's 3.50x, MAX.

I can't explain it, but I do remember learning about this.

It has to do with how the different sides of your brain interpret each side of your face in a mirror versus a picture. Mirror's unlike pictures, flip the side of your face that each eye sees. Each eye then sends that information to a different side of your brain. Since each side of your brain functions differently, when the image is flipped (a mirror) you see yourself as more attractive.

However, in real life, people just look at you straight on. Also, when you look at a picture of yourself, it is not flipped in the same way a mirror is.

the truth my friend

God i'm a pathetic fukin human being for watching that entire thing

[SkinnyBeast24]

[TSizzIe]

10/10 being highest that means the highest you can get is a 2... strong everyone in the world is a 2.





Also Mirrors tell the truth camera lie they dont capture the image 3d like and throw things off.

I hope that's true.

[esmile]

I was thinking about this today lol. I always look good in mirrors but when I take a picture of myself i look like chit. was wondering which one tells the truthmirror or camera.

I belive you look like you do in mirrors more than a camera. This is because the camera is making you 2d but your brain can conceive 3d~ which is what you are and look like.

[oTough]

motherofgod dont think ive ever wanted to punch someone in the face more than i do right now

lol, i would tap it

[esmile]

try this, take a camera and record yourself 360 degrees and you look like that~

[sjdagreat]

damn I thought I was a 4 but im actually in the negative

[incredibill]

if you think you're a 10/10 in the mirror, you're actually a 2/10. Such is life

brb if your actually a 10 irl then you look like a 50/10 in mirror

[Aisha808]

Actual theory;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning...3Kruger_effect

Tl;dr - People with actual talent tend to overly criticize themselves, and rate others higher or as high as themselves. People lower down in actual talent compensate by perceiving themselves as hotter **** than they are in reality.

Your face is still symmetrical regardless of how your brain interprets it you stupid piece of crap

[iamtheawesome]

Great

I am a potato.

[nlouisy]

Where the **** you got this from OP? Plenty of people have told me I'm attractive, and not once have I been called ugly so I guess I have nothing to worry about.

[WinVar]

i look better in the mirror better than i do in pictures
what does this mean?

Means you suck dick bro, sorry

sauce? Im pretty sure ONE part of your brain controls vision, each eye is not "linked" to a different side of the brain. i havent heard broscience like that since "working to many muscle groups confuses protein and it doesnt know where to go"

[vinhuman]

Well I think I'm a 47.5/10 in the mirror.... So 9.5/10? brb killing self

[wiles454]

I was thinking about this today lol. I always look good in mirrors but when I take a picture of myself i look like chit. was wondering which one tells the truthmirror or camera.

Well since the image in the mirror is reversed...

[DTO]

motherofgod dont think ive ever wanted to punch someone in the face more than i do right now

wtf is that Boxxy?

[GeorgeCl00ney]

What if I already look ugly in the mirror?

Brb killing myself, thanks OP

[ImitatioDei]

I've always noticed that in some mirrors I look really good but in like car mirrors I look worse. Wtf

That^^

No. Specific areas of the brain deal with vision, yes, but the information from the left eye is sent to the right hemisphere, and the right eye sent to the left. However, visual information is processed in both a low, and high route. The low route going directly to more primitive areas of your brain. This is why you become startled briefly by your own shadow. The information gets to your amygdala before it can be rationally processed in your cerebral cortex. Do you even science?

[YesWayNoWeigh]

seems legit

[Archaeologistt]

Brb killing myself, thanks OP

George Clooney thinks hes ugly in a mirror?

BRB dead.

[HamstringKing]

This is not true in the slightest bit. Maybe for bodybuilders, but not for the average man. Bodybuilders are the most vain, arrogant, self-centered mo'f*ckas in the world. Before I started lifting, I used to be into self loathing and making fun of myself. Now that I've been lifting for a while, I think I'm attractive, I stare at myself in the mirror for probably over 40 minutes a day (especailly while lifting) and I walk around like I'm hot sh*t.

[ChernobylResist]

that isn't true. Your subconscious attempts to point out the flattering angles of your face more, but you aren't 5x uglier. Excising from the abstract, nice try OP.

[decline]

I look good in real life and on pictures....never really rated myself but plenty of girls think I am hot. I still see guys much better looking than me so I probably am 7-8/10.

[anonymous]

I can confirm, I am x5

close your left eye and look around the room with only your right eye. now close your right eye and look around with your left. did you see the room differently? NO.

[holysht]

Not true lol. But generally people do find themselves more attractive than they really are

You think? Maybe it's just me but I think most people are generally too harsh on themselves.
