If A Guy Sends Me One Of These 5 Snapchats, He Gets Left On Open

Paramount Pictures

I'm aware I'm a tough critic, but I feel like a lot of girls are on the same page as me on this topic. At least on board with 3/5 of these Snapchat "don'ts." Like most things I talk about, Snapchat isn't that deep. No one looks amazing at all times during the day, so don't be afraid to send a rough looking snap. I like guys more that don't try hard on Snapchat. Those guys have far more important things to do with their life rather than pose in front of a ring light. It also makes me feel more comfortable talking to them because I can tell that they are comfortable being human.

In my opinion, these are the five Snapchat styles that take a guy from a 10 to a zero.

1. A smile selfie

I am CRINGING as I write this thinking about receiving snaps like this. I don't even know how to explain why this is so bad, but I am so uncomfortable. Guys and selfies, in general, makes me uncomfortable. This is a maximum 10-second photo, not a Calvin Klein ad.

The thought of a dude lifting his phone and turning his jaw, smirking... lol, it's BAD. Call me gender bias or whatever I don't care, but guys and selfie smile snaps have got to go.

2. Shirtless mirror selfie out of no where

KNOCK IT OFF. We get it, you lift, bro. If I asked how your day was, I don't want a response of "good <3" with your shirtless self in the mirror. Let's leave a little to the imagination and answer the dang question. I'm not your hype man and I don't really care what you look like in your dirty bathroom mirror at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday.

Save the shirtless snaps for another time.

3. Adding a filter

GUYS, come on. The dude in this picture is hot, but he looks absolutely ridiculous with dog ears. Get out of here with the eye enhancing filters and skin softeners. Let your local Instabaddie utilize those tools. If you absolutely, positively must take a "model" photo, at least get rid of the dog ears.

4. Continuous snaps after being left on open

I get it, shoot your shot. I would say try maybe two or three times. If she still isn't responding, let it go, buddy. You did what you could, but now you're just being annoying. Find a new girl to Snapchat.

5. The inverted duck face

If you don't think this is cringing worthy, I'm sorry you wasted five minutes of your life reading this article because WOW this one really takes the cake (and we must not be on the same page). I mean I don't even know what to call this look. Lip-bite eye-stare? This look doesn't need to get it a name it's just gotta stop. I truly cannot imagine watching a guy taking a photo like this and thinking it is a good idea. Whatever, though, guess he's living his best life.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
