Best Of All Time: 50 Of The Most Embarrassing Instagram Vs. Reality Pics
Interview With ExpertSome of the images people post online can range from cute to an utter spit in the face of photography. But there is a specific subset of absurd pictures where a person has decided that no one will notice the mountain of filters they have applied.
We’ve gathered some of the most egregious examples of “Instagram versus reality” on the internet. We also got in touch with Erin Vogel, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to discuss beauty standards and how they warp people’s perceptions. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and share your thoughts below.

Thank You Tinder For The Incoming Nightmares Ill Have Tonight
How does someone look at this and then put it out? With her blonde/white hair and white background she looks creepy. Those eyes and those teeth. She's going to know your face off.

Bored Panda got in touch with Erin Vogel, PhD, Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and she was kind enough to share some thoughts with us on beauty standards, what causes them, where they come from and what people can do to change their mindset.
“Beauty standards are rooted in systems of power. People with privilege set standards that are not attainable—and maybe not desirable—for most people. For example, in the United States, many beauty standards are centered around White people’s appearances.”
Omeone Needs To Come Take Their Moms Phone (In The Comments She Swears She Didn't Edit)
I'm sorry, but if she didn't edit this, she needs to be in the Guinness Book of World Records somehow.
She needs to work on her editing and filter skills. Instead of editing her giant eyes, how about that giant hairy arm?
"Didn't edit?" If that's the case, she really should have edited the daylights out of that image.

The thing is -and I'm being sincere, here- the real her is pretty cute. I'd look twice!
this is sad. she looks really cute in her reflection, but feels that she isn't attractive enough.
Perfectly cute woman in the reflection. Hope she sees this and realizes she doesn't need these filters
Nearly Had A Heart Attack When I Opened Tinder This Morning
I don't know what to look at. His forehead? His eyes? His mouth? His chin!!??
“Advertisements, both online and offline, reinforce the idea that we need to spend money on products and services to look a certain way to be attractive and feel good about ourselves,” she shared. After all, if you constantly feel like your own body, hair or face is a problem, chances are you’ll spend money to “fix” it.

Load More Replies...Photographer’s Page vs. Model’s Page
The real pic is fantastic. If the photographer had taken the second one, it wouldn’t be considered a good photo even.
Load More Replies...Sad that so many dancers have body dysmorphia. They are perfect just the way they are.
I’m wondering whether she edited it because the pose is supposed to be more upright. I know she is stretching her body so she looks taller and thinner but is the “correct” ballet pose supposed to be less bent forward? Maybe she saw the photo and whilst she looks pretty the pose is wrong.
Load More Replies...This is so sad. Her body is literally an athletic machine, she's incredibly fit, strong and looks amazing, but body dysmorphia (caused by the disgusting standards in the ballet world) has made her believe she needs to edit her body to these completely unrealistic proportions. Poor woman.
This one is just sad. How badly brainwashed should one get to photoshop a picture like that? I mean, the real photo is amazing, but this woman doesn't think it's good enough. Sad.
This is so sad Can you imagine being that beautiful and healthy, and finding so many flaws with yourself? Sad
We also wanted to know if there were any other “sources” of beauty standards. “Traditional media and social media both play a role in setting beauty standards. When people with certain features (e.g., thinner or more muscular bodies) are consistently shown in the media, we collectively start to believe that those features are ideal.”
Her Entire Profile Is Filled With These!
Whatdoyoumean? That's not the least bit creepy. She'll look great in a coffin. The makeup job is particularly good for one who can't see her reflection in a mirror.
No, I know this woman. She looks exactly like this. I see her in the window of the local department store all the time.
I can't figure out if that's her father or her son.
Load More Replies...This makes me think of Charlie Chaplin's Tramp in Modern Times. In that movie, I felt like the whiteface was too much. The Tramp interacted with too many people, and it just looked weird to me. This just looks weird in the same way.

Oh dear God the delusion! I bet thefat legs are the only real bit. Seems to have changed race from the neck up.
Yeah somebody need to let some of the air out of those tires and fix the face.
So we also wanted to hear her advice on what people can do to try and “shield” themselves from the constant bombardment of certain body types and looks. “Follow people on social media whose content brings something good to your life. Social media can be great for staying in touch with friends, making ourselves laugh, and learning something new.”
Every Post Is This Weird Forced Laugh Pose And Soullessly White Eyes
She reminds me of a silly joke my little students used to repeat all the time: "Have you ever seen a purple elephant hiding behind a flower?" When you answered no, they'd say: "that's because they are very good at hiding". Well, this "woman" is trying to hide behind the pizza. But she's not as good at hiding as the purple elephant.
Also, a purple elephant would be way, way less weird than this… thing. After seeing this spawn of Cthulhu a purple elephant would just make me shrug. If I could spot in, that is, considering how well they hide.
Load More Replies...I have a sneaking suspicion this is a woman who is aging and terrified of the fact. Hard to explain how you can tell by the face but iykyk.

Same Person - Instagram & Screenshot On Television
The camera adds 10 lbs, along with pores, wrinkles, and a very concerned look at being outed.
To steal a line from Friends: How many cameras are on her? That's way more than 10 lbs. Not trying to be mean, just factual. Frame of reference: I far more closely resemble the real picture than the fake one, so I know what 10 lbs does to your overall appearance, including the face.
Load More Replies...Now this is a liberty! Does she think no one knows her or won't call her out on this?
“If you notice that you’re constantly comparing yourself to other people on social media and feeling bad about yourself, it might be time to follow some new people. There are plenty of body-positive people of all shapes and sizes on social media. Find someone relatable. Their content might be uplifting when you’re struggling with the pressure to look perfect.”

I Finally Found One In The Wild
Not sure even the sea is real in this one...looks like Pete Burns mated with a heron and a clown.
Has her mouth started to rot? Is that why her lips are going black? (And I feel very sorry for anyone who thinks these manipulations make them look beautiful.)
I don't understand how they can't see what we see. They think their photos look fabulous. In reality, a woman with these proportions would topple over- chest down, stick legs splayed about, and gargantuan head and lips bobbling about.
However, setting those standards aside, we also wanted to hear her opinion on the sorts of images seen here. After all, beauty standards are one thing, but some of these are so overly edited that there is no way they look “good.” “We spend a lot of time on social media, and we adjust to seeing and using filters!” she shared.
Those Proportions Though
Because they've been shown that artificial "ideal" for basically their whole life. And got praise when they started to alter their own pictures accordingly. It's a downward spiral.

That Is One Giant Hand
It always makes me laugh but the first time I saw it, I couldn't stop laughing.
Load More Replies...I know nothing about editing etc. What has done that has caused the arm and hand to look like that?
Yes, and cutting the torso in half. What was the benefit?
Load More Replies...“Many people who edit their images may be trying to fit a certain ideal that seems normal and desirable on social media.” Unfortunately, if you spend too much time just looking at edited photos, you end up with a skewed idea of what human beings look like. So if 90% of the people you see are on Instagram, the photos here are not that far from the norm.
New Picture vs. Picture From 2020
This is getting truly ridiculous. What are people thinking. What if he got a date from that picture. You would be raging when real man walked in. Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with real man but if your expecting the other fella you would be mad.
Meeting up with a blind date wouldn't go so well, unless you're dating someone else from this stream of dreamers.
Looks like he cut off the head of a person in a poster and glued it to himself with duct tape.

Whitest Teeth In The West

You're laughing, but the dental industry is actually requested prosthetic materials in this kind toilet bowl white these days. Next there will probably be LEDs built in to peoples' veneers. Demand and supply!
One of the reasons Americans look a bit creepy to many Europeans is the unnatural teeth they constantly have on display. You do get used to it, but it can feel threatening

Someone’s Learning On Ms Paint
I suppose the sad expression comes from her accidentally seeing her face in the mirror?
Similar to eyeballs painted on ancient Egyptian death masks. Majestic, clean and natural look…like you’re well rested and ready to spend the next millennium in the sarcophagus.
Looks like she has her eyes closed and those are painted on her eyelids.

Holy Hand Difference, Batman
I thought it was only teenage boys who developed one arm bigger than the other?
I don't even understand what they were trying to do, that caused them to end up with this. Was the pose awkward and looked like she didn't have a right hand, so they just photoshopped it in from another picture?
She smushed her right side in to make her look thinner, and it stretched her hand wider. There are a few of these throughout this article--it took me a few minutes to figure it out, but I'm pretty sure that's it.
Load More Replies...How do so many of these end up with gigantic hands when editing parts of their bodies? What I really don't understand is that these people are so worried about how they look to other people, that they go to these extreme lengths to edit their pics, but yet they leave the humongous hand or tiny legs? How do they miss that or think yea this looks amazing, felt cute, might delete later, idk...fr wtaf? 🤦♀️

Her Ig Profile Picture vs. A Screencap Of The TV Show She's On
I don't think anyone is going to try the old "she looks better in real life" comment on this one. Looks like she was slapped with a wet fish.
I can kinda understand how a nobody (like me) might think they could get away with the ultra-filtered IG picture, because only my friends see me IRL. But if you're ON A TV SHOW, and you've presumably both looked in a mirror (ever) and have seen yourself on the show, why would you think you could get away with this???
Why do so many women think they look beautiful when their mouth looks as if they have been stung by a poisonous wasp? Those lips look swollen as if she is suffering and allergic reaction!

Folks used to say that fixation on the butt was a sign of an immature society. Freud, who had some odd ideas - but was usually good on developmental stages, called this the a**l stage. Indicated a group that alternated between licentious and repressed. About right for today’s US
Why does this look like a child's face, wearing an awful wig, on some resemblance of a women's body? Creepy
If she stands up (if she can) will she fall over backwards and roll back and forth??
I really wish women would stop wanting big butts and boobs. It's all good when your young but as you age, it sucks. Back problems and gravity on your body is not your friend. If you have fake boobs, people will know because no bra is that good that it keeps them puppies up. Also working at a nursing home, I feel for these women who can no longer get themselves out of the chair with no help. To be young again, so stop wishing and except what you have.

No, it's definitely not! But: if she thinks look in the photoshopped image is better, I wonder why she does her actual make-up so harsh (which definitely ages her).

Rib Removal? Nah, Photoshop
A woman I worked with had a WhatsApp image - clearly heavily filtered - that I assumed was of her teenage daughter. Then I met the daughter, so I asked who the picture was of, and she said it was of herself. She 'admitted' to using a photo a few years old, and having a lot of make up on. Absolutely no chance at all - even with out meeting her you would know it was fake. I really don't get it. Another co worker also used a heavily filtered picture, but she said so and asked what we thought - I was impressed with her filter skills even if I thought she looked better without - and that I do get. Seems really odd to pretend you didn't filter.
So obviously, the photoshopped versions are what all these people would like to look like? Honestly, what is wrong with all these people? Their aesthetics look like diseases. And now guys dream about tightlacing themselves - that's reverse sexism.
Just to be pedantic - there is no 'reverse' sexism. There is only sexism, where one is treated a particular way due solely to their chromosomes.

Indeed. However, IMHO the main problem is that some people dare show those pics of "themselves" and truly believe viewers will buy it. Being so out of touch is worrying.
