do you look bigger in a car window?

[Frank Sepe jr.]

is it just me or does looking at your reflection in a car window make you look bigger? compared to a regular mirror?

muscle dysmorphia is a bitch!!

 

[Raffaz]

huh??

 

[HansNZ]

The convex shape of the glass may distort your reflection and make you look bigger.

 

[Delinquent]

Yep. I noticed that too. Your muscles are much more bulky looking due to the glass shape

Now this is a stupid question.

I replaced all the mirrors in my house with car windows.

I saw this guy at a club one night, he looked HUGE. He looked about 6'3" 260 lbs 8% bf. He got into a fight with a guy that was about 5'10" 175 and the 5'10" guy put the big guy's head through a car window. All of a sudden this guy didnt look so big in a car window.

 

[Twitched]

Hahahha.. I can't believe someone else noticed that too..

Whenever I am walking through the parking lot.. I'm like.. "Jesus christ I look big."..Then I slump into depressin when I get in front of a regular mirror from the "muscle loss" I've experienced in the 30 second walk from my car to my bedroom.

I used to go to one of those sooper expensive New England colleges....had a free weight "guy" room, and then a machine/cardio "chick" room across the hall. Whenever I went into the chick room I noticed i looked less thick....overall seeming taller and thinner. In the guy room the mirror had me looking shorter but wider. On closer examination we realized that they had purposely put different types of mirrors in the rooms to achieve this effect. That is what you get when you pay 35k+ a year for your education.

I go to a state school now and the classes are just as good for 1/5 the price....sorta miss the mirrors though

This trick is also done at most better clothing places. Notice in the dressing room how much better you look with no shirt on due to concave mirrors and good overhead lighting.

I am so fricking vain I can peek into every damn car window on the walk back from the gym, I just try not to make it too obvious...

Oh, and if you have a mirror at home with some light falling in from the side, you'll look cut as hell.

LOVE IT!

 

[Bar Room Hero]

Now this is a stupid question.

Damn dude, you always beat me to the punch. I hate you.

 

[animal B]

I look in car windows to motivate myself....especially after the beach oiled up

 

[builtbc83]

wow I thouht I was the only one who ever thought this! I've got the windows in my truck tinted out, so when I'm sitting in nyc traffic and look at the window I get a good reflection back at me, and I was always like I look so much bigger when I'm sitting in my car lol
