Sometimes I think about how social media has kind of ruined us , because it lets us post highly edited photos of ourselves that look nothing like how we look in real life. And no one is the wiser.
Unless you happen to be like these people, who’ve done a pretty bad job of editing their pics . Do people really believe they’re real?
“Not the wide elbows.”
It’s always easy to tell when someone’s edited their waist to look smaller, and it somehow always involves a wide elbow. If only we weren’t so obsessed with having the smallest possible waists (even if they defy logic).
“Why when you’re already attractive?”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There’s nothing wrong with aging! I hate that we live in a society where women feel the need to make themselves look younger at any cost.
“No way he’s actually getting away with this.”
There’s no way you can post this kind of stuff and think people are going to believe you really look like that. No one looks like a drawing in real life. Trust me.
“Because who needs organs.”
Okay, so, we’re supposed to believe that she has a waist that’s smaller than her thigh, and yet she still has the balance and strength to hold a baby pig? Yeah, not in a million years.
“What do you notice first?”
I’m sure people edit pictures this way because it’s supposed to look cute, but does anyone actually think it’s cute? Because if I’m being completely honest, I’m kind of creeped out. The hand is especially uncanny.
“Remember folks, subtle editing is worse than those alien like creatures because at least they can be spotted out really easily.”
If you look closely enough at her bicep, you can see warping in the tiles in the background. I never understood the point of editing yourself to look stronger.
“Instagram vs reality.”
It’s like two completely different people. Even if you didn’t know how she actually looked, you could tell that those bottom two picks are edited. No one has drawn on doll eyes or Bratz lips, after all.
“How would she even get in those jeans?”
Short answer: you don’t. Slightly longer answer: you can if you’ve edited the picture and don’t actually look like that. Which is absolutely what’s happening here. If you think this is an attainable body type, I have bad news for you.
“Found on Instagram.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think your lips are supposed to take up 1/3 of the surface area on your face. Like, please tell me people out there aren’t actually thinking this is real.
No filters or editing…
See, the problem isn’t even the editing itself. It’s the fact that she edited the picture, and then claimed that there was no editing involved. Like, a little honesty would go a long way in this world.

“Where is the texture.”
I can’t tell if they were trying to smooth her torso out (for some reason), or if she’s actually wearing a full-length shirt and they… edited part of it out. Honestly, at this point I’d believe anything.
“Spotted on Facebook.”
Is it just me, or did she straight up edit someone else’s face onto her body? Because that’s 100% what it looks like to me. The skin tone and lighting aren’t even close to matching up, either.
“Isn’t everyone’s face this smooth??”
So we’re supposed to believe that, despite the fact that her hair was clearly underwater at one point, her mascara is perfectly intact and her foundation isn’t starting to melt off? Sadly, that’s not how makeup works while swimming.
“She looks better before the photoshop.”
It’s really frustrating how beauty standards have people looking at their (perfectly normal and beautiful!) bodies and thinking they aren’t thin or curvy enough. Here’s hoping that looking completely normal will become a beauty standard someday.
“This is natural right?”
What completely floors me is the fact that this is a picture on a dating app. Like, do people not realize that their dates are going to figure out they don’t look like their pictures? Or is this, like, a catfish situation?
“Wooow nice wonky wardrobe, real impressive.”
Because, you know, your gut totally doesn’t stick out a little when you sit. Which, funny enough, is exactly what’s supposed to happen. But I guess a wonky closet door will get more likes than a little bit of stomach.
“Blur so strong her hair is disappearing.”
You know, if you’re insistent on editing your selfies, you should probably make sure your hair is still intact. It just looks like she has a big beige blob on her forehead in this pic.
“Tagged vs Posted. Everyone gets a new face when they cut their hair right?”
Those pictures basically don’t even look like the same person. Like, she doesn’t even have the same jaw in both pictures. How are people getting away with this stuff?
“It’s like they didn’t even try…”
I honestly wonder if people post these kinds of obvious edits thinking no one will notice, or if they straight up don’t care if people do. Either way, no one’s gonna buy what you’re trying to sell.
“An example of how fillers look online vs real life.”
What’s crazy to me is that impressionable young women and girls all over the world spend thousands of dollars to look like her, and she doesn’t even look like that. What a scam.
