Most over-used picture poses on FB and similar sites

[gotbacon23]

going on facebook or a similar website i am sure you are bombarded with pictures of the same damn poses or whatever that are annoying as hell. some of the most over-used picture poses or cliche' pictures in my opinion are:

bathroom mirror pose:
http://photos-g-9.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v275/144/32/646293598/n646293598_654790_663.jpg
main culprits: vain people who think they are better looking then they actually are, people with no friends to take pictures with.

starring into the camera as if you are going to beat it up look:

main culprits: frat brothers, guys with insecurity who feel like the only way they can intimate someone is through the a glaring camera stare

the feet by the pool picture:
http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs145.snc1/5374_684200400009_25802581_40391373_125597_n.jpg
main culprits: women who have too much time on their hands. we get it, you belong to a swimming pool. we all have seen water before and we don't care about your feet.

the shirtless flexing picture:

main culprits: bros, meatheads, guys with insecurities, guys who like to cheat on their girlfriends. we get it, you have muscles. now put your shirt on.

blowing kiss or puckering up pictures:

main culprits: whores or teases. i don't get it, nobody ever really looks like that, so why pose like that? you look stupid.

any others people can think of?

@ OP, what type of pose would you prefer to see?

just keep a normal face and smile and have someone else take the picture (i.e, not looking into the mirror). puckering up, posing in a mirror, flexing, or holding the camera 5 inches from your face looking angry are all not natural at all.

ha, i never noticed that. there was probably a beached whale and he threw it back into the ocean with those scary muscles and then flexed for the camera as it came splashing down.

I don't know what is it with asians and the peace sign... I just started doing it as a kid cus I thought it was cool without any outside influence. It must be in our genes or something.

This thread doesn't suck unless you fit into one of the categories.

I think you're spot on (to the OP), I mean..... the faces and poses these people make are stupid and cliched seriously. And they should have their face kicked in (although I don't see a problem with the Asian peace sign). I really hate b!tches that do that wack pucker up face, makes them look like female douches.

i don't get the peace sign. i don't think people aare douches for doing it like i do if they pucker up or whatever, so it doesn't bother me at all though... i just don't get it.

I don't see nothing wrong with the peace sign, its a nice gesture that can mean different things. I mean... better than throwing up a gang sign (and there's plenty of that on MySpace).

And the pucker up face is just retarded imo. I'd understand if some of them are doing it to be silly and make fun of the girls that do that to be sexy, but some of these chicks think that's sexy. Sexy for whom? almost every single dude I know thinks its retarded and very un-sexy. If you're hot or sexy, just smile... that's it! Its almost as if they're trying to hard, just like the guys that are douches. They're douches because they try to hard to be 'cool' or 'sexy' that's part of what makes them douches..... so the same applies to chicks.

to be fair though any picture where people know theyre having their picture taken isnt natural. People smiling just cuz their picture's being taken? Not natural. It's very forced and you can tell 99% of the time.

Heres a site with all the asian poses that girls do.

It looks ****ed up when a guy or a white person does it.

[Richie2k6]

Puckered lips and bathroom cell phone camera are the worst. Never seen the feet-near-the-pool before.

From what I have noticed, the ones that tend to do it the most are Koreans, Japanese and Taiwanese. I have asked my students before why they do it in every photo and none of them has been able to give me a reason. Just like how I can't explain why it bugs the **** out of me.

[methusala]

Where is the "Hey look a camera! Let's all make retar*ed as* faces that make us look ugly as shi*" pose?

Seems like every god damn time a camera gets pulled by a group of girls out this phenomenon of blissful idiocy happens.

[Manute for Ever!]

I hate when people take photos of themselves by holding their phone/camera in front of them, usually with the arm outstreched appearing in the photo. Mainly done by extremely vain girls.

What's wrong with it?

[Manute for Ever!]

What's wrong with it?

Actions such as constantly taking photos of oneself says a lot about a person, none of it good.
