Pics like that passport make me think 'what am I doing?' 'who am I trying to fool here?!' I really don't look like a guy. I just look like an ugly woman(?) !

Ok, you're not ugly in any way. I think you have a masculine look but it's not at all ugly. Don't be so hard on yourself. And you're not trying to "fool" anyone. The fact is you're a guy and it is as simple as that. As for what other people see when they look at your picture, I seriously doubt anyone sees someone the same way that person sees themself.

God, that passport pic is destroying my self-esteem xD!
I was almost over it till I checked this thread again and started looking at it again....  :P
It's making me feel so so uncomfortable! Like - 'do I really look like this to other people?!!' or something of the sorts  :P

It really doesn't correspond to the mental image I have of myself as a person!

Thanks, Julia  :)
Though you haven't seen that pic xD! And never will!

I'm hoping I will look better in the next one once I'm on T... Maybe I stop looking that cringingly weird.

On the plus side passport and drivers pics are small, everyone looks like a rapist mugshot in them, and nobody pays them much attention except ourselves.

I don't think I've met anyone who liked their passport photo...


I think the things that I feel uncomfortable about my face are things i usually like on other guys. Like big eyes, and a strong nose. But it's like they look right on other people but not on me.

Haha, Julia you read my mind!

Yeah, well... let's hope I won't have to show that too often. And the people who see it are just gonna check if I'm recognizable (don't want to say 'if I look like in that pic'). It's a hideous pic no denying that  ;D! But maybe others won't see it that way - just as a boring passport pic like any other.

I've been meaning to go to the Nevada Drivers License place and trade in my Texas one for Nevada.  I have to do it before my birthday as regular licenses are 8 years but 65 and older 4 years.  My picture on the new license, hummmm may prove interesting.

As a photographer I can assure you are correct. I usually tell my clients "when you renew in 10 years, you look back at this picture and say: wow I looked good then." :)

Hey didn't mean it that way  :D! Just generally - I mean no one wants to get old or worse looking right  :D! And to look back at their used-to-be-hideous passport pic and acknowledge, 'well I guess I didn't look that bad in it back then after all'  :D
