The world is evolving, we have new tech making life easier and more beautiful and one of the techs that many people find easier to use are those that come with our phones, apps, and so on.
Gone are the days when it is what you snap that you will get, you can snap anything now and beautify it to the extent that people will fall in love with it, and even you yourself will be wowed at your creativity..
I do not see anything bad in using filters to make yourself look good or better than you are but what is bad is when you do it in excess.
These things can be addictive, you edit one picture, cut your head and put another, edit away all your pimples, change your color from dark to yellow, place an edited wig on your fake head, and post it, the moment people started commenting, wow you are so beautiful, gorgeous and all other flattering comments, you will never want to post your real self anymore and that is the beginning of fake life.
Here is a picture of me and my niece, the first picture is the real product of the phone used in snapping the picture while the second one is an edited pix.
The difference between these two pictures is that one is brighter than the other and I actually prefer the second one which is the edited version but the edit is minimal and it won't bring any criticism if someone later comes across the real photo because I am not a dark guy xd.
So just because you don't want people to criticize you does not mean you should snap rubbish and post the rubbish like that😂
It is okay to edit and look good! just don't give yourself credit that does not belong to you, editing images and adding curvy hips, making your bosom fuller, and also enlarging your buttock with filters is what I think is not right because you are deceiving people especially those interested in you and that can be termed emotional damage which should be entered in the book of law with punishment jk.😁
I have not really been deceived by anyone online though, you can only be disappointed when you expect something from others but in certain times, i have been surprised to see that pictures can be deceiving.
I have written about my 2go friend who introduced me to the hive platform, I have always believed she is dark in complexion and that was my thought for 9 years until I saw her for real.
This girl is so fair and that surprised me that I could not even keep it to myself, I had to ask her what happen because I thought she is dark🤣, she was like dark bawo, don't you see my pictures, I got confused maybe I am having color blindness🤣
The same goes for another friend of mine I met recently, she looks dark in pictures but when I saw her too, she was fair in complexion and I think their case is good, they looked more beautiful in real life than in pictures😁
One of the times that I felt someone was deceiving others was a friend of my neighbor that visited her, this girl had pimples all over her face and some dark spot which kind of ruined her beauty, we got talking and she wanted to show us something in her gallery and I saw the pictures she snapped and edited. I had to look twice to be sure she was the one because it was totally different from her real self and I think she is getting more toasters with that picture online than she would get in the offline world.

Baba I dey tell you. It's sometimes annoying when I see what these people do with fliter, how can you remove someone else head from their body and put yourself because you felt they look good.
I see most as insecurity and not appreciating their natural beauty.
lolz, fake life.
That is how they lose potential person ready to love their true beauty and not the illusion they create
Filters are good no doubt, too much of is what we shouldn't support.
excess of everything is bad🙂🙂
Lol, at times I wonder If what they suffer from is inferiority complex or it is the comments which make them feel that way. It]'s bad if you cant accept how you look and as such you opt to use filters to enhance the way you look to the extent of looking like you were made by a doctor.
Slowly, we are accepting it and I feel like sooner or later it will be the norm and then we will all be suffering from this. There's no denying that the work AI does to polish these photos are amazing but it should be used in moderation as you said.
i think the comment is the problem, someone might just want to test it out and boom when the comment start flowing in, she loves and want more of it but inferiority complex can't be cast aside as it is also part of the problem.
Filters are good when used in moderation. But people tend to overdo it and make it their standard way of posting pictures online. The way they transform themselves can be fascinating until you meet them IRL and you get quite shocked at what you're seeing :)
what I ordered Vs what I got😂, problems for those doing online date and meet up
Lol, thank goodness that people can't hide in the real world, sooner or later everything will be confirmed IRL. It's good to lower our expectations and not take things at face value in the online world. Filters are getting more sophisticated and all.
Filters have no doubt beautified many nature pictures like plants and flowers I took. I agree with you though when you say it Becomes addictive. If many people compliment you for a filtered picture of yourself, you may just be tempted to keep up the illusion.
yea, and it becomes harder for them to let go of the illusion and in another way, deceive people as some start having feelings for their illusion
This post is an amazing content for girls who only thinks about getting guys without considering the effects after the first meet.
Think long term!
I see you boss
longest time man! happy new year, are you back?
yea i think girls are the one these filter topic really deals with
Yes boss, will be powering up soon.
How do we connect boss
Little editing or lightly using filters can give pictures a good look but most of us do heavy editing and extreme use of filters which make them a different person from their reality.
But in your case, you have done little edit and it gave you a cool look and it's still a natural picture even after editing.
Lol don't insult us finish nahhh but you are right
Most girls now cannot take pictures without using filter
Even their yansh nah fake
They just fake everything and it does not make sense
Nah why guys dey disrespect them...
