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.
Meet Glenn. Somebody told him that the ladies would find him more attractive if he posted pics with filters…

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.
People thought that Glenn’s photos were amazing
I love that his face is a mix of confusement and "is this what you want?" Still a handsome looking guy.
Totally agree! 😁 I find it difficult to believe that he struggles to get attention -he's a good looking lad!

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!
I love it :D But I'm really concerned about the fact that people keep on trying to look overly artificial with filters and c**p. I mean... they don't even look like themselves irl at the end.
We started using an org website at work because the company was so large, and we all uploaded our photos. There is one girl whose photo is so altered no one could recognize her. At work. Like... we are going to find out that you don't actually look like that, and it's going to reflect on your ethics and judgment. It's a shame she's so insecure; she's naturally pretty.

I heard that women often like the sporty type, i'll try my luck with the K&N filter. Thank you, Glenn!
A guy with a sense of humor? I'll take that over a filterized guy any day!
A good sense of humor is incredibly attractive! I can't imagine you'll have much trouble anymore.
i always posted the worst pic i had on dating sites so they'd be happier when we met.
Very fine specimen! We must have more humans that have this sense of humor, it is a sign of intellectuality!
These filters are so much more honest than the digital ones. If you're using digital filters, you're automatically catfishing after all.
I dunno why, but I really want to photoshop cakes and cupcakes into his hand
He has coffee filters. There's gonna be a line at his door for marriage.
His eye color is too beautiful. He should only wear sage green and that slight smirk. He's a keeper.
Bonus points for taking pictures with the filters while doing serial killer eyes.
If he held the filters IN FRONT OF HIS SCOWLING FACE, he would be more attractive.
