Default It's not you, the camera made you ugly/sexy
Study: Certain Cameras Make You Ugly, Certain Phones Make You Sexy - KTXL

It's been said the camera adds ten pounds, but what type of camera you use could make the difference between a beautiful self-portrait and a hideous one.
The article goes on to make some really terrible generalizations that made my head hurt. It's good for a laugh, or a cry, depending on what you own.

"The same study found users of the Apple iPhone had anywhere between 10 and 12 sexual partners by age 30, while users of the Blackberry phone had an average of 8 sexual partners. Android phone users had the lowest amount based on the survey with six sexual partners."

So THAT's where it all went wrong....

What the heck? That is so dumb. Are they trying to say that the photos themselves were more attractive or the people in the photos were more attractive? Why do they ever bother doing "studies" like this?

Hahahahaha. Proves my point. For 30 years I've been Nikon users that their lenses are made from discarded Sapporo beer bottles and they focus backasswards!

it is all about grainy data. The worse the image quality, the easier it is to make something up in your head.
(think Mary on a toasted cheese sandwich or in tree bark.)
A poor cell phone image will distort unattractiveness, especially on an online dating site where the idea is to hook up. A good quality image will not hide the flaws
