Man Hits Back at Selfie Culture With Hilarious Selfies With Filters

Let’s face it: Dating can be tough even under normal circumstances, but during a global pandemic, it can be extra tricky. Current restrictions have enhanced our need for social connection while making it more difficult to do so. Most single folks are in uncharted territory, and they go the extra mile and try harder than ever to find love.

A Kentucky man, Glenn Embrey, 47, took the Internet by storm when he posted a set of hilarious photos on Facebook. He said that somebody told him that the ladies would find him more attractive if he posted selfies with filters.

Glenn took the well-meaning advice literally and ran with it.

He shared a Facebook album with photos of himself holding filters. Like, actual filters.

Glenn’s photos went viral and got thousands upon thousands of reactions and comments.

Netizens tried to determine what filters Glenn was holding to the best of their ability. They guessed coffee, oil, fuel, and air filters.

A sense of humor is better than a good picture, right?

We bet Glenn didn’t think he’d get this much attention!

Glenn’s lighthearted humor with low-key social commentary about the popular trend of creating an unrealistic portrait of what people look like is hilarious.

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
