"Anne of Cleves"-Effect

The "Anne of Cleves"-Effect describes a situation in which a girl or guy does not look as good in real life as they do on a picture/ look much better on a picture than in real life. It gets it's name after Henry VIII married Anne of Cleves and tried to get into her knockers after seeing a painting of her by an artist who seemed to have 4/20 vision and a massive bag of gold coins in return for drawing her like one of those french girls.

#2: Ugh. She looked nothing like she did in the profile pic.
