    Until you realize that they’re just complimenting the fake you, not the normal, typical you.

      Fuck this fake or normal nonsense.

      It’s you. There’s you when you’re relaxed, and there’s you when you turn it up. It’s all you.

      Just do whatever you feels most you in the moment. Want to be the hot shit on the block, turn it up. Giving no fucks, grab the T.

        Yes, but getting comments like this is clearly referring to the difference in the picture.

        And given that nobody looks like photo day every day, they’re not saying you actually look better, they’re saying the photo-prepped version looks good.

        I’m not saying he’s not the same person or something.

        Maybe “fake” was a bad word choice, but I thought the meaning was clear either way.

      Eh, I’ve met quite a few people who look better in person than their profile pics. That can work in either direction.

        True enough for sure.

        This was just a quick mild jab for the sake of humor. Obviously I have no idea how they appear IRL. Maybe it works better with people you know.

        I’m not literally trying to drag the guy, for the record.
