When Girls Ask Their Boyfriends To Take Pictures Of Them Vs. The Other Way Around

It seems like in this age of social media, every girl is a master photographer. They know how to capture the perfect shot every single time. Boys, on the other hand? They could use some photography lessons.

A Smug Mug

This boyfriend looks pretty smug for a guy who just took a photo of his girlfriend with her mouth agape. She's really cute, but this photo just doesn't do the best job of showing that off.

This lovely couple was sitting across from each other at a nice restaurant. The guy looks strong and attractive. The girl looks...suspicious. She should be. This picture is definitely something to be suspicious about.

This girl clearly has an eye for photography. Her boyfriend is trying to emphasize her power of sight in this photo. He took the challenge very literally. Yes, that is a magnifying glass.

Boy: in focus, nice pose, excellent backlighting, gorgeous view of the city in the background. Girl: blurry, awkward angle, nothing is in focus, horrible lighting. Yup, that makes perfect sense.

Look at this gorgeous photo this girlfriend took of her man. He looks like he's having a great time on vacation. She looks like she glitched out mid-conversation. Not a good look.

These two guys might be on a date, or they might be just friends. Either way, one of them is way better at taking photos than the other. We see you, guy on the right. I mean, we don't because you're blurry, but we appreciate your photography skills.

This girlfriend knew better than to take a picture of her boyfriend with his mouth full. It's just not anything that anybody wants to see. Her boyfriend wasn't as tactful.

This lovely couple went out to eat some comfort food. This girl looks like she got a little too comfortable. Her boyfriend snapped a picture of her as she was about to lie down in the booth.

This is why knowing your shutter speed is so important. This girl knows how to adjust the lighting in an iPhone photo. Her boyfriend clearly didn't get the memo. Too bad for her.

This guy gets to have his whole body in frame. His girlfriend wasn't so lucky. She probably spent a long time picking out her outfit that day. Maybe her boyfriend wasn't into her clothes that day.

Have the boyfriends learned nothing from each other's mistakes? Never take a photo of your girl while she's eating! That's just not cool. His girlfriend had a better photo idea.

Boys, come on, you're not being original anymore. Wait until your girl is finished eating before you take a photo of her. Can you not wait two minutes? Have patience!

Even when posting the exact same photo onto Instagram, this guy managed to make his caption infinitely less adorable and wholesome than his girlfriend's. There's no winning for the girls.

She definitely spent hours getting ready doing her hair and makeup before this formal event while he probably just got off the couch 20 minutes before leaving, took a shower, and then did the bare minimum with his hair and she still called him a great date, but he couldn't return the compliment.

Listen: this guy may not have come even remotely close to matching her wholesome caption toward him, but at least he used a fun quote from SpongeBob as his caption.

At least there was some sense of cohesion between these two: both were clearly very cognizant of the leafy background and its coloring. However, her take on it was much more sentimental.

I'm not disappointed in this guy for making a bedroom joke so much as I'm disappointed that it was such low-hanging fruit—the joke was almost too obvious. Try harder next time.

I think I actually like his caption better! Does anyone else have fond memories of The Proud Family and the fact that the Wizard Kelly, the show's rich former basketball star, never had his head shown on screen because he was too tall?

When it comes to social media, most women jump at the opportunity to show how much they adore their significant others or anyone they care about, while men often will post everything as a joke: photos with the boys and a girlfriend are treated pretty much the same.

Even if they post joking captions online, girlfriends know that their man is a total softie in real life who wants to be cuddled and adored just like she does.
