In this digital age of filters and catfishing, you can never be too sure the stranger you're talking to online looks exactly like the photos they post.

A new poll of 2,000 Americans from YouGov reveals that half of us actually think we look better in real life than we do in our photographs.  13% actually believe we look better in photos than in-person.


23% of people say there's "no difference," and 15% aren't sure.

As in most cases in life, dudes have no opinion.  Women are more likely to say they look better in-person, while men were more likely to say it makes "no difference."

The survey also asked if "being photogenic" was a skill.  21% of respondents think it's something that can be learned, while 54% say it comes naturally.
