而我却经历过相反的问题.所有的这些美化照片导致大家对于中国女性在现实生活中的模样有了不切实际的期望.
A guy I met on a dating app told me he was shocked when he first saw me as I was "much better looking" than my photos suggested. "You look really dark in your photos", he said, "and your face looks round."
我在交友应用上遇到的一个人告诉我说,当他第一次见到我时,他感到很震惊,因为我本人比我的照片更好看."照片上你看起来真黑,"他说,"而且你的脸在照片上看起来是圆的."
Another charmer asked me why I used such "life like photos" rather than edited pictures.
又有另一个人问我为什么用这样的"生活照"而不是美化过的照片.
"Nowadays, men are so used to seeing faces of girls on social media where the skin has been whitened, features softened and jaws thinned down, so that anything unfiltered looks strangely under par," 27-year-old graphic designer Xiaolin told me.
27岁的平面设计师小林告诉我,"现在,男性都习惯于在社交媒体上看到已经'磨皮美白、脸部特征更柔和、尖下巴'的女生的照片.所以,任何未经处理的照片反而让人看起来觉得奇怪不舒服."
My 24-year-old friend Zhao Siyuan tells me that plenty of her male friends have been deceived in online dating with a little help from Meitu. A few were apparently so appalled by the difference in their date's face that they "just directly turned around and walked away".
我24岁的朋友赵思源（音）告诉我,她的很多男性朋友在网上交友时被欺骗了,就因为美图秀秀的"一点点帮助".有一部分在见面的那一刻,对约会对象的相貌是如此的震惊以至于他们"转头就走"了.
A couple of months ago I too gave into the pressure downloaded Meitu Xiuxiu, partly because I was curious. Now I'm addicted - because it's so easy to change the way you look, and because, no matter where you are from, a bit of "brightening" is never a bad thing.
几个月前,我也下载了美图秀秀,部分原因是因为我很好奇.现在,我竟然"上瘾"了,因为它真的可以轻易"改变"你的容貌.而且,无论你来自何方,"白一点"总不是什么坏事.
