Somebody Told This Guy That Ladies Will Find Him More Attractive If He Posted Pics With Filters, And The Results Are Hilarious (7 Pics)

Dating can be hard and finding true love is tough. Even in 2020 when the world seems like it’s ending: we almost had World War 3 break out, the forests of Australia were on fire, Brexit keeps on Brexiting, and we’re living in a timeline where there’s a global pandemic. With all of this ‘the end is nigh’ stuff going on, you’d think that people would be getting together left, right, and center. Unfortunately, some people are still finding it difficult to get a date.

Glenn Embrey went viral on Facebook when he posted a set of hilarious photos that took us and a lot of internet users completely by surprise. He said that somebody told him that the ladies would find him more attractive if he posted pics with filters. Glenn made us all laugh when he purposefully took the advice literally. He posted photos of himself holding filters. Like, actual filters. Yeah. That’s right—not digital app filters but real-life filters.

Glenn’s pics went viral and got more than 37k reactions and over 10k comments on his Facebook wall. What’s more, over 113k people shared his post and it then spread beyond Facebook into the wilds of the internet.

You’re probably curious about what filters Glenn’s holding, just like some internet users were. They had a lot of fun trying to determine what exactly Glenn was posing with. Their best guesses are that he’s got coffee, oil, fuel, and air filters.

But let’s jump into the topic of digital filters for a moment. While we all want to look picture-perfect on the net (especially if our romantic life depends on it), some people believe that using filters is a bit dishonest. However, a lot of people do it and the exact amount varies from individual to individual.

For example, Brande Victorian writes on Hinge IRL that “29 percent of men and 32 percent of women admit to editing the photos on their dating profiles—either with Photoshop, Facetune, or by using filters.” But how many people upload pics where they’re holding actual filters? As far as we know, just Glenn and filter salespeople. Looks like Glenn’s carved out a niche in the dating world for himself.

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

I love that his face is a mix of confusement and "is this what you want?" Still a handsome looking guy.

A man with a filtered down sense of self instead of an overinflated out of tune ego. If he does not find his special lady with this, I'll eat my hat! Be happy!
