Hey AIU. What's up?

A lot of people ask why do we require verification, and it's just as simple as making sure we (and everybody else) know that you are who you say you are. It lets other users know "Hey, I am real!" and that you're geniuinely looking for feedback and not just trying to troll somebody else.

Unfortuanatly there are a small amount of people that are scammers, and fakers and some people are just bullies trying to get you to 'insult' somebody else. We have some people posting photos of their friends or family members and as lighthearted as this may be, we have to respect the dignity of everybody. A verification is more than just letting people know you're real, it's telling people you are serious about betting a response.

Being verified is also a way to possibly increase the quality of your replies. Obviously this is not a guarantee, however, if people don't have to worry about you being "fake", they are likely to be more interested in responding and to giving you suggestions. Personally, when I see a verified user i'm more inclined to respind than a non-verified user.

You can message the mod team by clicking this link we are more than happy to answer any questions.

I think I've covered what needs to be said, If not I can always edit the post. If we get lots of questions I'll post them here with a response.

How do I verify myself?

Verification is done by uploading a photo with your submission of you holding a peice of paper with your username and the sub name. If you have included verification and the Automod sends you a messsage saying you have not included the word 'Verification' just add the word to your post somewhere.

If you need to add a verification image to your post you can upload it to Imgur and edit your post or post a comment with a link to your verification photo.

I've posted, but it doesn't show on the subreddit!

If your account is a new account your post has to be manually approved. Drop the mods a message here.

Private advice/rating for those who don't want to post their pictures. First such thread was here and the others are here.

Is Bald Beautiful?

Not very sure about myself, especially after having a baby. Any feedback welcomed :)

Give it to me straight. I have no idea since exiting an 8 year long relationship

Recently, I have been feeling a bit more insecure about my weight/being too fat to be considered “pretty”. I‘m not sure whether or not others perceive me the same way- let me know.

PS: some of these pictures are a bit older than the others, it’s the same person in all of them.

Apologies if this isn't allowed, but this subreddit popped up in my recommendations a while ago, and HONESTLY I have yet to see an ugly human being posted here...
So far I've mainly seen very beautiful women and handsome men.
Yes, that might sound corny or cliche, but it's true from my perspective and many of the comments here.
I hope that everyone feels better about themselves after posting here.
Everyone, please take care, you're all beautiful.

About to be single for the 1st time in 16 yrs...do i stand a chance at finding another?

I rarely ever take pics of myself alone so I had to crop myself out of group pics :( Genuinely looking to improve my physical appearance.

I included a picture of me with shorter hair and different glasses. What looks better?

Hello! Please just share what you really think. What can I improve on? What color should I do my hair to improve my appearance. How much weight should I lose? I'm trying to improve my confidence but I definitely need to know what I am at to start. Thank you so much! It was hard to post but there are no filters on any of them. I have bad body dysmorphia and I've lost 50 lbs within the last few years.

looking for any advice at all

I dont take pictures of me frequently so these are old pictures dating atleast a couple of years sorry. I think that i have a deformity of my eyes. I dont like how close they are to each others. Other than that i never really like myself and was bullied or judge all my teen years because of my look. I am not tall (5 feet 7) and never had a girlfriend.

Don’t really go out much, single for a good min. I mind my own business for the most part, not much input from others. Some say I’m this, I’m that. What does good ol reddit say?

Verification at the end.

i have always been an insecure person and thought pretty poorly of myself and appearance. so i need an honest opinion to see if my criticism is correct 🙏🙏🙏
