40 Women With A Sense Of Humor Who Showed How Different The Same Person Can Be In A Photo (New Pics)
InterviewBeauty might be a 511 billion-dollar industry, but there’s no putting a price tag on goofing off in front of the camera. The internet can’t be all about professional photoshoots, top-tier model pics, and carefully edited images—it needs to be about fun and humor, too! That’s exactly what the members of the r/PrettyGirlsUglyFaces subreddit understand. The online community, founded way back in 2012, has nearly 90k members who know that the incredible photos you see while scrolling through social media are well-curated and represent an edited version of reality. The fact is that the beautiful women you see featured online can make you laugh with their incredibly funny expressions in a heartbeat if they choose to look derpy and use an unflattering camera angle. And they’re competing to see who can make the ‘ugliest’ faces.
In an in-depth interview with the founder of r/PrettyGirlsUglyFaces, redditor Sinkingfast, Bored Panda learned all about the friendly and diligent community, how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the entirely communit-driven subreddit, as well as why we tend to focus so much on appearances in the modern world.
"The community itself has stayed consistent and loyal. We get a lot of users who see positive reception to their posts and come back as repeat posters. Creating a safe and fun environment to post weird pics in judgment-free was always the goal and I'd like to think we've maintained it, especially with the help of our loyal user base. Our community is great. I want people to be comfortable enough to share and have fun. The subreddit really belongs to the users and wouldn't exist without them." Read on for their other insights, as well as for our follow-up interview about beauty with historian Dr. Jane Nicholas from St. Jerome’s University at the University of Waterloo.
As you scroll down, upvote the photos that got a smile and a giggle from you. When you’re done, check out Bored Panda’s previous articles about the subreddit here, here, and here. And a small heads-up before you ask: there’s a male version of the subreddit called r/HandsomeGuysUglyFaces right here.

Hey You Guys
Actually I like this thread better than the other similar ones. This one is more like people just having fun and making silly faces, whereas if the images were flipped it would be like "Women catfish everyone wah they're fooling everyone!!" which I don't really like. This one is fun though imo
Too bad I can't show a video of me making a weird face; fold my tongue, move only my left eye, and move both my eyebrows up n down one at a time. Can also lift just the left side of my top lip up.
