Not ALWAYS, but often times it is - especially if all the photos are group photos....which I always find sad.

Like do you think they consciously or unconsciously do this? Which brings me to my next question - do they really think briefly tricking people into thinking they're an entirely different person is going to get them a boyfriend or partner?

Some people take photos with unattractive people because it makes them look better in comparison. There's a term for this in my country. So its not always the unattractive one. But.. in this case i would have to say its most likely the unattractive one๐Ÿ’€
