They have certainly been times when after taking a picture I decided it would be better just to not post it.
Perhaps that is robbing people discussion, but all the same I feel that sometimes it's just not worth posting if it's truly off.
Blah blah. It might be calming, but the real reason is for menswear discussion. If not, you would never do it, and certainly not post it. You would play with model trains or something.
Im not saying its not a pleasant ritual, or that its not ritualized for some, or that we all have the same motivations, but to avoid the true primary motivation of the pictures, which is a shared love for menswear discussion, is falsehood imo. I know how assumptive it sounds to tell someone else what their motivations are, but I still think its the truth. And I dont say it in a bad way. I would be dissing myself if I was. And who knows, maybe we are not even disagreeing.
As far the actual getting dressed in nice clothing part, I would hope that the primary motivation for everyone is to enjoy looking good, not posting pictures on the web. But hey, who am I to judge.
In any case, I think its an interesting talking point.
See above. I think y'all underestimate the prevalence of OCD/autistic spectrum types on here.We post pictures for validation and feedback, for all other purposes you have a mirror.
I will say that I notice things in photos that I don’t notice in the mirror. I don’t understand the psychology of that, but I’ve found snapping a picture to be very useful, whether I post it or not.
That’s probably just me, however.

A2, no doubt. It is always easier to see flaws in what you have put together when you look at it in the picture then looking down at it in real life. It's just a different perspective.

@chocsosa A awesome look, the colors are well chosen. very classy and simple the cardi make a super contrast. Well done.
Stitchy, it would do many of us good to see that from time to time you're fallible in your fits.
I've been meaning to take a course in photography, since seeing some of @ethandesu 's beautiful pictures of menswear. i.e. one interest has spawned another.
