How do you feel about women who only post photos with filters on?

A gimmick like that gets so quickly boring and shortly thereafter so annoying, so I cannot say I think that it is cool, but as long as it pleases them it is up to themselves. I just have no such people around who do this, so I take it easy.

I think its the way of the world nowadays... I do think there is a line with makeup, editing and filters where it can come across as deceptive... and I think a significant percentage of woman go past that line if they don't highlight the extent of the change. Men aren't immune from this principle though - topless gym pics where a bloke has just worked out and their muscles are temporary pumped up is really misleading too... they literally look that buff for about 20 minutes.

It's a personal choice, honestly, and I'm not the one to judge that. That being said, as with makeup, I think I'm more beautiful without it.

In my defense, the selfie camera on my last two Samsung phones came with a built in filter you can't disable.

I got in trouble years back for calling a female co-worker out for her Michael Jackson pics, when she asked what I meant I said her filtered photos made her look like she has no nose. Basically I used to think people with overly filtered pics have nose shame. #NoMoreNoseShame
