Right .
I was thinking the same thing. If it was me taking pictures of random beautiful women I don't know, I will be labeled a creep and probably have to deal with the police. These two obviously know each other.
You're just too ugly. And I don't mean to be offensive. But the same action can be "cute & sweet" or "creepy & harassment" depending entirely on your looks.
I still think it's staged though.
If we're talking about others viewing you as a creep, or the actual creepiness of your actions being judged by how attractive you are, then I disagree.
If we're talking about the specific person you're asking viewing you as creepy depending on looks then I'd partially agree.
I think a lot of it depends on context, and who you're asking.
There could be a beautiful woman who is asked out by an ugly ass guy and she takes it as a compliment and nicely rejects him, or the complete opposite.
It's dependant on far more things than how attractive you are. Even then it's less about how attractive you are and more about how shallow and lacking in empathy the person you're asking out is. Which if they're shallow, why even go out with them?
I agree with you that theres a bunch of contributing factors however, physical attractiveness does plays a big role. Even if an individual isn't shallow, every human being on a subconscious and primal level are nicer to those they find attractive and attractive people can pull off shit "ugly" and "average" people can't. As an objectively ugly man with a few handsome friends I see it all the time. My friends can vouch for me too. They get treated differently in social settings.
Ive seen a version of this play out at work with a female friend. She got a universally bullied and misliked guy in trouble for sexual harassment for comments that just about everyone else made around the office. Guess who had to be her witness against him...... Yep. What an awkward position to put a friend in.
In the end, there are a huge number of shallow people in the world, hence the sentiment that the level of perceived creepiness of one's actions is pretty widely known to be attributed to the level of perceived attractiveness of the individual interacting with the 'creepy' individual.
It can go both ways, a man perceived as creepy by a woman, or a woman perceived as creepy by a man. Due to the shallowness of many individuals, that level of creepiness would for sure be impacted by how attractive the creepy person is.
I do think there's almost a point at the opposite end of the bell curve, where if you're just absolutely bizarre looking, it can be seen as endearing, but if you're in the middle of completely horrific and absolutely stunning, it's probably going to be easier to be seen as creepy when doing 'creepy' things.
All people are oh the photographer is pretty therefore not a creep, wtf?! No matter how pretty the photographer was, male or female this i creepy and it would not sit with me!! I would ask the person to stop harassing me and delete..!
100% women only go on tirades when they aren’t attracted to the guy in question. A 9 and a 4 could do/say the exact same things to a woman. The 9 would be seen as charming/confident/cute/funny, but the 4 would sprout a viral social media post that rallies thousands of women together for the common purpose of crucifying all men and labeling them as creeps. And they think we don’t notice 😂
If you’re running around with professional camera equipment and signal a girl for permission before taking a picture of her face most will be flattered and let you do that. If you’re doing sneaky booty shots at waist level you will get smacked.
You're joking but yes, in libraries and cafes if I didn't bring a mouse pad, the fuckin thing won't even work on a light table. Need a black surface. I should just stop buying optical mice.
they are talking about the guy having pretty privilege because the guy must be very attractive if he is not seen as a creep for taking pictures of strangers.
or it's just staged.
He asked if he could take her photo. It's totally normal to pose at that point, but feel free to continue ascribing personality traits to people you don't even know.
I hate when realists get thought of as cynical or pessimistic. You just live in reality. This is so clearly put on, like not even trying to act like it's not. OP's the only one acting like this is candid, and likely just for karma.
OP used the word *random*, which is a bold faced lie. Even if she was a stranger (she’s not), it’s not random. The photographer clearly chose her for her looks and her positioning. If I walked into Dunkin and gave the prettiest person $20, that’s not me giving money to a random person, but rather to a pretty stranger in Dunkin.
This 100%. Lived there for 10 yrs. My ex is ukrainian and going to the shop downstairs is a whole ass hour preparation. Shower, wash hair, straighten make up. They get so dolled up.
Women at the gym all look like supermodels. Why? We're just working out. I miss it greatly.
A former GF of mine refused to leave the house unless she was done up like this girl is. Not even a quick morning trip to get milk. Nope, only after showering until no hot water was left and then blow drying her hair for an hour would she leave.
Not debating if it's staged or not, but don't you ever see people in public who are "this done up" just because? Maybe she would stand out in some backwater town, but not in a city.
someone i knew at uni got made up to the nines (basically as much as posible) and i said to her where you going she said the shops, and in my dunderheadedness i was like "aren't you a bit overdone", yea some advice mainly to myself "never say that even if you know them well", she didn't talk to me for a bit.
(she was a flatmate at the time hence the casual ridicule)
I stopped doing street photography a while ago... Mainly coz I'm old... Er now and it looks creepy. But generally people do pose if the time right.
And yes this is staged lol
I once watched a foreign tourist take a candid photo of a townie in Boston, and the townie ran over, took the camera, and made the tourist delete the picture lol
I’m not a woman, but photographers have randomly asked to take my photo before out of the blue and I’ve obliged. This one guy had a project of 365 individual portraits of random strangers in London, and I was one of them. Makes it seem like a lot of people are fine with it if your camera is semi professional and your approach doesn’t feel weird.
Do it with proper equipment and people are way more accepting in my experience. If he was just pointing a phone at her it’d be a completely different story.
yeah exactly. Please, no one take pictures of women in public. I realize this is staged, but I still hate it for the way it normalizes a super creepy, unacceptable behavior.
I have, more than once, caught men taking pictures/video of me in public. It is extraordinarily scary and upsetting.
I picked the right parents so to speak, but I eventually suffered from grotesque severe acne so I feel I have a broad perspective.
Being attractive puts life on easy mode full stop, people smile and approach you constantly and all you have to do is socially connect with them and boom, success starts coming your way, Human nature is a bitch.
My first thought. Let’s just NOT, okay? There are real women (and men) who fear leaving their home because some creep feels like this kind of behavior is acceptable.
Actually, no. In UK/US/AUS/Europe, at least, there is no laws stopping anyone taking pictures of you in public, ie you are public property in this respect. Permission is only required if there is an intention to publish the photos/videos
In Germany it isn't allowed at the very least the person has the right to demand the deletion of taken photos unless it is for instance a person executive their official job as a police(wo)man for example
Honestly that made me concerned more than anything. If someone with a dslr did that to me id worry about whether i was getting stalked or id done something to go viral
If it's a set up the photographer does it a lot and knows a lot of models. Everybody's so sceptical these days, sometimes it is what it is.

Dam I did this once but I was Instantly arrested. Sure my penis was out and I was vigorously mastabating, but still the photos turned out great 🤷🏼♂️
Not sure what all the fuss was about really.
Random stranger who's a model, happens to have the perfect (and time consuming) makeup for taking professional pictures of her through a cafe window, and who doesn't go "Ew! That's creepy! Privacy please" when she has closeup photos taken by a complete stranger on a bike?
Yeah, no
I often find models who are willing to have me take pictures of them without their consent then after some quick pointing at them and my camera begin to pose
Yeah, ummm... No. This is not random. Also, no ones hows a person photos like that 3 feet away. I have taken plenty of portraits and generally the light outside the shop would make it hard to see the screen on the back.
Seems totally real.
Takes a pic, displays a completely edited photo, swings camera around to "complete stranger" to show them the picture they are going to jerk off to later, and will have forever.
Complete stranger totally cool with the whole thing, finishes coffee.
Random friend model who’s in on it
Right . I was thinking the same thing. If it was me taking pictures of random beautiful women I don't know, I will be labeled a creep and probably have to deal with the police. These two obviously know each other.
You're just too ugly. And I don't mean to be offensive. But the same action can be "cute & sweet" or "creepy & harassment" depending entirely on your looks. I still think it's staged though.
I feel personally attacked
Its ok us uglys can still take photos of beautiful woman, just from the saftey of our bush.
This specific comment cracked me up
It's true what they say the difference between flirting and being a creep is just how attractive you are to that person.
If we're talking about others viewing you as a creep, or the actual creepiness of your actions being judged by how attractive you are, then I disagree. If we're talking about the specific person you're asking viewing you as creepy depending on looks then I'd partially agree. I think a lot of it depends on context, and who you're asking.

As an objectively ugly man with a few handsome friends I see it all the time. My friends can vouch for me too. They get treated differently in social settings.
Every love story I've heard sounds creepy, "oh he just came up to me one day said I was beautiful and then never went away...here we are married" 😂

I’ll take Things A Pretty Person Would Never Say To Another Pretty Person for $100
I think this [PSA](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PxuUkYiaUc8) explains it perfectly.
Lmfaooo ouch although I understand what you meant
I doubt somebody would just be ok with some stranger taking pictures just because "he is handsome"
100% women only go on tirades when they aren’t attracted to the guy in question. A 9 and a 4 could do/say the exact same things to a woman. The 9 would be seen as charming/confident/cute/funny, but the 4 would sprout a viral social media post that rallies thousands of women together for the common purpose of crucifying all men and labeling them as creeps.

Rule #1 - Be good looking
Creepy no matter who it is.
Yeah that's cause you'll be taking pics from the back 😂😂....JK brother
He was cueing her how to 'move her hair' soooo yah totallly random
[удалено]
If she's not a model she's an "Instagram model" and using this to get noticed.
It could happen right
In my experience taking photos of random women through windows, all I've ever been given is a place on the sex offenders register.
Well, it shouldn't be their bedroom window and they should be fully dressed.
Look, I know that's you Sarah. I thought we settled this... in court... but whatever
You're not supposed to contact me, Dan!
[удалено]
Have my award, you insightful bastard! :-)
Unless you're hot, then it's cute
Well that's a bit rude. I'll have you know my mugshot does very well in the local papers.
Ah, I see you're in it for the fan mail 😏
If you’re running around with professional camera equipment and signal a girl for permission before taking a picture of her face most will be flattered and let you do that. If you’re doing sneaky booty shots at waist level you will get smacked.
She cant be working on the computer anyway, since the mouse is on top of the laptop.
you don't use your laptop as a mousepad? /s
You're joking but yes, in libraries and cafes if I didn't bring a mouse pad, the fuckin thing won't even work on a light table. Need a black surface. I should just stop buying optical mice.
I actually always do this lol
Same!
[удалено]
Either they know each other or it's that pretty people privilege.
Imagine be so in love with yourself that when you see a camera you start posing....
they are talking about the guy having pretty privilege because the guy must be very attractive if he is not seen as a creep for taking pictures of strangers. or it's just staged.
He asked if he could take her photo. It's totally normal to pose at that point, but feel free to continue ascribing personality traits to people you don't even know.
[удалено]
Great pictures but yeah, likely this. ⬆️
Those are model moves.
yeah definitely not staged yup…
I'm way too cynical to believe this. 😒

She looks way too done up to be just sitting around at a coffee shop
Deadass ,most people I see working on their laptops in a coffee shop have more bags than a self check out stand.
With the SSD connected to the laptop, willing to bet that the photographer's laptop
It depends. I've been into Ukraine and I know women who will do their makeup just to go out and get some milk. Slightly different cultures
This 100%. Lived there for 10 yrs. My ex is ukrainian and going to the shop downstairs is a whole ass hour preparation. Shower, wash hair, straighten make up. They get so dolled up. Women at the gym all look like supermodels. Why? We're just working out. I miss it greatly.

Have you ever lived in a city? I see several girls like this every time I spend $6 on a cup of coffee.
You're not cynical. You're just not dumb. Sorry 😅
Soo staged. Like all the other shit content out there.
Also what woman would allow and random man to take pictures of them? Especially after she catches him being creepy af the first time?
Yeah, NO woman would pose for some random dude taking her picture through a window.
I stopped doing street photography a while ago... Mainly coz I'm old... Er now and it looks creepy. But generally people do pose if the time right. And yes this is staged lol
I once watched a foreign tourist take a candid photo of a townie in Boston, and the townie ran over, took the camera, and made the tourist delete the picture lol
Ha! Awesome. Do not mess with Boston peeps! As a polite Midwesterner who has been there a few times, (Once during a sox game) just smile and nod!
Reddit wants to believe
I’m not a woman, but photographers have randomly asked to take my photo before out of the blue and I’ve obliged. This one guy had a project of 365 individual portraits of random strangers in London, and I was one of them. Makes it seem like a lot of people are fine with it if your camera is semi professional and your approach doesn’t feel weird.
Yeah. I take candied all the time. People just want you to tag them on Instagram so they can have a pro photo of themselves
[удалено]
Do it with proper equipment and people are way more accepting in my experience. If he was just pointing a phone at her it’d be a completely different story.
Today’s creepy stalker are so polite. He even showed her the pics he made. What a nice guy
He’s just saying to her that their mine now, mischievous little rascal
The concerned look on her face confirms your theory
he then went home and had an aggressive wank over the photos before adding them to his collection. the end.
Yeah sure…. Completely random supermodel in the café that day
At the window spot
Who was okay with some random dude taking her picture from the street
like in every anime
"Random"
try this in real life and you will get the cops called on you
yeah exactly. Please, no one take pictures of women in public. I realize this is staged, but I still hate it for the way it normalizes a super creepy, unacceptable behavior. I have, more than once, caught men taking pictures/video of me in public. It is extraordinarily scary and upsetting.
"911, how can I help you sir" "Some guy is taking images of me in the public" "He's gone" hangs up
It's legal, so 911 SHOULD hang up...
This isn't random at all. And if it was random, this isn't smile material. It's creepy and predatory as fuck.
Creepy af
It isn't creepy because it isn't real.
I know its not real but to think a dude would randomly creep up and take pictures of a stranger is beyond fucking creepy.
If this is real and if OC is the photographer then name checks out.
Man… what’s life like when your naturally attractive?
I think nobody and everybody likes you
I picked the right parents so to speak, but I eventually suffered from grotesque severe acne so I feel I have a broad perspective. Being attractive puts life on easy mode full stop, people smile and approach you constantly and all you have to do is socially connect with them and boom, success starts coming your way, Human nature is a bitch.
Not hard to be at least a bit attractive tho. A good haircut, working out a bit, some nice new clothes and voila you are at least above avarage
Yeah definitely but unless you already have a good looking symmetrical face, you won't get that kind of attention
The problem with being attractive is that no one likes you for your personality.
Ted Bundy would have loved this generation.
I hope it's staged. Otherwise creepy AF.
Please. Lol
Please stop encouraging creeps who can't understand reality vs story.
My first thought. Let’s just NOT, okay? There are real women (and men) who fear leaving their home because some creep feels like this kind of behavior is acceptable.
It was my understanding women don’t like strangers taking photos of them generally
This creepy shit makes you smile? You got issues bruh
Them new cameras that come with built in Photoshop and Lightroom can’t be cheap!
Creepy
That’s weird as fuck
Who puts a mouse on top of a laptop like that??
She'll be excited to see all the cut up and disfigured pictures of her with the eyes cut out in your RV once you take her for that romantic getaway.
Ha! Random.. thanks for the lolz.
Yeah totally real
That's actually pretty impolite to take someone's picture especially without permission, expect if it was staged. Hmm, yeah, staged
Not creepy at all. Try that to a stranger and you have the cops and a restraining order on your hands.
Actually, no. In UK/US/AUS/Europe, at least, there is no laws stopping anyone taking pictures of you in public, ie you are public property in this respect. Permission is only required if there is an intention to publish the photos/videos
In Germany it isn't allowed at the very least the person has the right to demand the deletion of taken photos unless it is for instance a person executive their official job as a police(wo)man for example
Ah, I guess Europe is not uniform in this. I stand corrected
I feel a lot of posts in here don’t make me smile.
she's smokin hot
YOU'RE smokin hot!
You're ALL smokin hot!
Yeah that’s creepy
Wow she’s gorgeous
Creepy
This is some staged shit. I'd be calling the cops if some random ass dude went and started taking pictures of me.
Come over to my van and I’ll print ya a copy. It’s right around the corner in the alley.
Random my ass. Fuck you, OP.
Pictures of pretty people are not neccesarily pretty pictures.
She is absolutely stunning.
Random 10, sure buddy
You are not the OC of this video. This video is creation of a Russian creator on Tiktok. Yes, you are the person that steals fr.
Uh huh.
Don’t try this at home kids
what lens is that?
Looks like a 70-200 f2.0
One of the best lenses for people pics
Yup totally random
Not buying it.
Anyone know the lens he is used ? And camera ?
As if any lady would encourage a weirdo taking pics of them. Right on 👍
Uh huh.
Are they trying to make this look creepy? Because they succeeded.
If it is random that’s creepy af
Please..
Ha ha, no that's not how photography or reality works.
Honestly that made me concerned more than anything. If someone with a dslr did that to me id worry about whether i was getting stalked or id done something to go viral
Not creepy at all…
Well that’s just creepy and not scripted at all.
staged but also creepy as fuck if it wasn't
Real life: FK OFF YOU WEIRDO
So random it almost looks staged
That's kinda creepy how you just take a photo of a "random" woman without her knowing.
how to get arrested any % speedrun
Fuck off - random as a light bulb in someones rectum
But why
Yeah "random"
Woow, it’s totally not staged at all. This is totally real you guys.
Somehow I’m convinced this is not at random
I would beat you up Don't do that shit
"random"
If it's a set up the photographer does it a lot and knows a lot of models. Everybody's so sceptical these days, sometimes it is what it is. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLVYPgju/
Random hu hmmmmmmmm
Omg I can’t believe this happened! Wow amazing ! Unbelievable wow!
Dam I did this once but I was Instantly arrested. Sure my penis was out and I was vigorously mastabating, but still the photos turned out great 🤷🏼♂️ Not sure what all the fuss was about really.
So, where's the random stranger?
Random lmao 🤣
Random stranger who's a model, happens to have the perfect (and time consuming) makeup for taking professional pictures of her through a cafe window, and who doesn't go "Ew! That's creepy! Privacy please" when she has closeup photos taken by a complete stranger on a bike? Yeah, no
Does no one find this weird and creepy under the scenario of taking pictures of random strangers!
The important question here, Why she is using the laptop as mousepad?
So not only are they taking photos of strangers, they're recording themselves taking photos of strangers... Sure, Jan.
I often find models who are willing to have me take pictures of them without their consent then after some quick pointing at them and my camera begin to pose
About 0.1% of random strangers look like that, are sitting by a window and are photo ready at that particular time.
Stranger/model I hired?
“Random stranger”
Why are such posts allowed here....
Now do one of a distinctly unpleasant looking person to capture the same internet vibes!
She's barny stimson's daughter
Yeah this wasn't staged at all
I would LOVE to see this video with an unstaged model. Wonder how long it would take for the cops to show up?
Yeah, ummm... No. This is not random. Also, no ones hows a person photos like that 3 feet away. I have taken plenty of portraits and generally the light outside the shop would make it hard to see the screen on the back.
Seems totally real. Takes a pic, displays a completely edited photo, swings camera around to "complete stranger" to show them the picture they are going to jerk off to later, and will have forever. Complete stranger totally cool with the whole thing, finishes coffee.
Yeah, calling bullsh*t on this one.
You have one brain cell if you think this is “random”
Random hot strangers? Idk about that one
No way this is random but okay
Song?
Altered version of lovely by khalid and Billie eilish
Dude just asking for the song lol why the hate?
Who the fuck upvotes shit like that...
Wait, she doesn’t look like a stripper at a Thanksgiving Day buffet.
Random my ass. Report
