Poses.

I was browsing through some of my friends Facebook photos and noticed a pattern.

All the females in the photos were posing. What I mean by this is that they were positioning their face, body, or both in such a way that it looked appealing in the photo.

It struck me that almost all the photos I’m in, whether I’m aware of them being taken or not, I look terrible. Not just because I’m unspeakably ugly, but because I just don’t give a fuck when they’re taken. I just let the photographer take the picture and be done with it.

Doesn’t it seem kind of vain that women train themselves early on in life (and I’m talking public school) to look as appealing as possible in photos? Assuming, of course, that they are training themselves. I find it highly unlikely that women come pre-programmed to purse their lips whenever a camera’s present.

This is fucked up.
