why do some girls hide their face when someone tries to take their picture?

Question

i'm not a nut job, this is something that happened this weekend when I was taking a pic of my bud's wife...i asked her, and she did not provide (what I would consider to be) a quality answer. Can you??

Answer 1

Self-esteem. If a woman doesn't feel confident in her appearance, then she definitely doesn't want a pic for proof of her "quirks". Even if she is the only one who notices them.

Answer 2

I'm one of those girls who hides their face while someone tries to take their picture. Truth is, I hate having my picture taken, because I don't take good pictures. I only have my picture taken if it's absolutely necessary (and I can't get out of it).

But in your friend's wife's case, maybe there's another reason why she doesn't let you take her picture. You said she didn't provide a quality answer, so maybe you could ask her to elaborate on it. If she clams up, let it go, and respect her opinion (and privacy). But if she does explain her reason more clearly, try to see it from her perspective. People may not always want to explain why they think a certain way, so when that happens, don't press them any further.

Answer 3

I don't like my pic being taken. I don't feel that I am very attractive, so why would any one want a pic of me? I do have a few, for my kids sake, but they are not displayed. No one has ever told me I am pretty. And when I hear it all around me, but never to me, it starts to play on your self esteem a little bit.

Answer 4

Well why were you taking a picture of your bud's wife. did she not want your BUD, aka: her husband to see her in a picture that he does not know about, or what!?

Answer 5

If I looked like crap that day, I wouldn't want a camera in my face at all. It's code for "you caught me on a bad day. Take my picture when I'm looking great."
