[English only thread] - Man taking advantage of the Istanbul Convention

I was just sitting here wondering if any of you guys find yourselves carrying around a heavy accent whenever you're speaking English

steelorca5 said:😲 then you could possibly be the best-looking person here

No, I actually look quite different. I was just saying that the basic face shape ends up looking similar because of that specific angle and that terrible lighting. If we were actually comparing decent photos—like the one on the right—I’d look like a totally different person.

It's still really obvious in motion—take a look at this video clip. It matches the photo on the right, and it's also without any duckface or Photoshop.

Maybe it's the runway lights, but I doubt it; he looks way better than in that first shot on the left, even during daytime shows where the lighting is much more subtle.

You're missing the point. He walks around with his cheeks sucked in—it's pretty much a constant duckface. You can easily spot the tension around the corners of his mouth. Honestly, it's what they all do. Plus, his body fat is so low he almost looks malnourished. He looks much healthier in the edited photo.

Yeah. I can pull it off to some degree, but that feels a little weird.

If we were actually looking at decent photos—you know, like the one on the right—I’d look like a completely different person.

I think you're missing the point. The guy walks around with his cheeks sucked in constantly; it’s basically a permanent duckface. You can easily spot the tension around the edges of his mouth. Honestly, it’s what all of them do, I swear. Plus, his body fat is so incredibly low that he almost looks malnourished. He looks way more healthy in that edited photo.

Yeah. I could probably fake it to some degree, but that feels a little silly to me.

I don't have an American accent

wiredfox said:I don't have an American accent

Liar.

Jesse Howard43 said:Liar.

I'm really not lying, I promise.

wiredfox said:I'm telling the truth, I swear

So, if you aren't being honest, what kind of accent are we actually dealing with here?

Jesse Howard43 said:So, if you aren't speaking with one, what's your accent actually like?

American

wiredfox said:American

Seriously, are you some kind of undercover agent or what?

Jesse Howard43 said:Are you some kind of secret agent or something?

I mean, if I actually were, do you honestly think I'd be out here telling you?

Jesse Howard43 said:You don't get it. He walks with his cheeks sucked in, it's basically a duckface. You can clearly see the tension around the corners of his mouth. It's what they all do, I'm telling you. He also has very low body fat, to the point where he looks malnourished. Looks much healthier in that shopped pic.

That is incredibly based and redpilled; I think you've hit the nail on the head there. I actually just caught another brief interview with Elias, and honestly, he doesn't exhibit that hollowed-out cheek look at all when he’s moving around or just speaking naturally.

That being said, I suppose I have to ask—what exactly are you implying? Are you suggesting that it's physically impossible to possess that specific facial structure without manipulating angles, playing with lighting, or sucking in one's cheeks, regardless of how prominent or protruding a person's bone structure might actually be?

I mean, look at Richard Ramirez. In this instance, he is simply talking casually, yet he possesses that exact same aesthetic without any sort of visual deception. In fact, if you take away the "fraudulent" posing, he arguably looks even better than this model guy, lol.

That guy is a total creep

wiredfox said:creepy motherfucker

Scale him from 1 to 10

I suppose he comes off as unsettling mainly due to those missing teeth, but honestly, if he weren't some kind of serial killer, he probably could have made a decent living as a model.

Hey there. What are you guys up to?

steelorca5 said:Give him a rating from 1 to 10

I mean, there's definitely a creepy vibe coming from those missing teeth, but honestly, if he weren't some notorious serial killer, he actually looks like someone who could have made it as a model without much trouble.

I don't know, personally I find him a little too sharp-featured for my taste.
I'd probably put him at a 5.

wiredfox said:if i were, do you really think i'd tell you?

I’m just not sure. All I know is that something feels off about this—you sound incredibly American, honestly, I can practically hear an American accent through your typing. ☕

steelorca5 said:Completely based and redpilled—you've got a point there. I actually caught another quick clip of Elias, and he doesn't have those hollowed-out cheeks at all when he's just moving around or talking naturally.

But what's the actual argument here? Are you implying it's impossible to look like that without messing with camera angles, lighting, or sucking in your cheeks—regardless of how prominent your bone structure actually is?

Because look at Richard Ramirez—he has that exact same look while just talking casually (no trickery involved), and honestly, he looks better than this model guy even without any posing, lol.

See, I told you. That’s why most regular Americans look pretty rough in photos—we aren't out there doing all that extra stuff.

Sure, certain people do look like that. Some of them pass for totally normal, but usually, if someone has that level of extreme facial definition, they end up having very intense features and just come across as a bit socially awkward.
