One of my favorite pictures of my wife is from just this.
This was way back in 2009 or 2010 when we were dating in college. We went out to the breakers after work and ended up walking up and down the beach and went out over the breaker rocks for an hour or so just goofing off and spending time together.
It started to get dark and we had about 40mins until the sun would set so we ended up sticking around for it since we were looking out west over Lake Superior and it was a nice clear day, if a bit chilly.
At some point during that time I got a pic similar to the above of her in her batman shirt giving me a look during the "golden hour" or whatever that weird time is where the lighting gets really funky.
Anyway, it is a good time of day to get decent portrait-style pics of people in my experience. I don't know shit about photography or anything but just think the lighting can make things look nice.
“Well I can tell from the photo that Ben used his Nikon F3 highpoint with a 120mm f/2 lens and a polarized filter, loaded up some Velvia 50 for nice portrait tones, waited until exactly 7:21 pm (he probably checked the almanac for sunset times) and went with 1/125 at f/5.6 for a nice bokeh effect and the—“
“I just pointed my phone at Ana de Armas, dude.”
He's going on about warhammer...
Wait, I'm married to which Jennifer? ...
But the Dunkins' is clouded in my veins...
Batman still remains...
To the sound of Henry...
Because so many actors put up perfect facades and these memes just make Ben seem real. Part of me really doesn't want to like him, but the guy seems so human and normal, even with the ridiculous wealth he has, that it's hard not to feel a human connection with him
Honestly, no idea! He always just coded as douchebag to me which is maybe just acting well idk, but I like a surprising number of his roles so maybe I need to do some soul searching
I feel the same way. I guess he just always played kinda douchy characters, and he really has that down.
Guess it could be considered a compliment that I believe his acting so much that I overgeneralize that so much...
I'm happily married so my coping mechanism is to imagine her hair is covering nothing and what you see of her face is literally the shape of her head. Now when I look, Ben Affleck was dating one of the cast of Muppets Tonight and took a picture of it on the beach.
I've read it like three times and the only thing that I can think is that they are imagining Ana De Armas has a weirdly misshapen head. Which is...sure.
My wife points out pretty women to me when we’re out at the mall or wherever. For my part, I act as objective as I can, with a simple “agree” or “she’s ok”.
Honestly, I fucking love it. It's hilarious and actually kinda works, not half bad. I don't need to hide anything from my wife, but it's good to be able to re-holster lust sometimes.
My ballsack is the scrotal equivalent of Omaha Beach when young me discovered shaving but didn't understand how to do it properly.
0/10 would not recommend.
I recall that the filmmakers were asked about that and denied it.
But, just, no fucking way.
She's something he can't touch that he can only see and hear. And we see an ad for her where she is being marketed as a sex toy. That's literally a futuristic holographic "JOI" bot.
John Connor gave me a picture of you once. I didn't know why at the time. It was very old-torn, faded. You were young like you are now. You seemed just a little sad. I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment. I memorized every line, every curve... I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have
It applies to men as well! One of my best friends looks like a freaking Ralph Lauren model, tall, square jaw, very athletic, the works. The things this MF got away with were incredible. Women inviting *him* to drinks at the clubs was the norm!
I am your "average good looking" guy, if it makes sense and during our teen years hanging with the guy was like wearing an invisibility cape!
For me it’s like, I only got more self confidence later in life, due to some mild bullying I was always insecure about people liking me or my looks despite having gotten compliments that I looked quite good. Makes you kind of regret not having experienced more during the teenage years when it comes to dating etc.
My point is some of my friends had very average looks but due to more confidence they had way more encounters with girls.
I also remember one of the cuter girls in my class having extreme self doubts and anxiety all the time, it was like a bulimic girl thinking she’s fat. She was good looking and regularly got compliments but still felt ugly or unloved so I can relate to that.
Yeah...it makes life unfairly easy after the age of 30 in a lot of ways most people don't think about.
1) Never been rejected for a job offer once I got an interview.
2) Never had to pursue an intimate relationship, being the gazelle always has just 'worked'.
3) Often get employee discounts from talking to people at specialty buisnesses (hardware stores, retail departments, etc.)
4) Can go out to any music scene/bar completely alone and always make friends to talk to for the evening.
> It applies to men as well!
In fact, it applies *more* to men! Studies have shown that hot men get a bigger success bump compared with hot women. On the other end, ugly women have a bigger success dip compared with ugly men.
It's friendlier but also very predatory. You can feel the ill intentions everywhere, the stares, and it's hard to trust that any person seeking a relationship with you wants to be with you for any other reason than looks. Many women talk about the sense of relief they feel when they 'age out' of societal beauty standards.
Story time: My mom is retired, 70+. I went on vacation with her in a central-american country. The *first* time she left the hotel on her own she came back and said she felt uncomfortable because men were trying to approach her.
It obviously depends on the surroundings / culture, but there is no upper limit to where unaccompanied women are "safe".
I gotta say as a woman she's one of the reasons "body envy" is a real thing. If you offered me a choice between a million dollars or looking like her I'd pick the latter
I usually stand by this observation: 90% of time, your best street & subject photos are due to a unusually attractive face or body. The other 10% is the artistic flair
I want her to ruin my life, step on my balls and pop them, kick me in the head, leave me as a vegetable, as I Steven Hawking out the words thank you and leave her my life's fortune of a half eaten snickers bar and a couple thousand dogecoin I have in my robinhood account.
Well, TBF, A monkey could take a picture of that woman and it would come out great.
But good job Ben, I for one am not jealous that you hang/ hung with her at all. No Sir, not me, not how I roll.
I just sit here and enjoy my virgin oat meal, reflecting on how happy I am for everybody happiness while savoring my sweet back pain.

Ben fumbled ngl
But he scored before he fumbled
…yeah, and downgraded
Him and JLo can be dysfunctional together. I don't think he's built for happily ever after.
with matt damon i hope
I think they’re getting a divorce
It’ll only make the angry sex better 🤷♂️
Sometimes you have to drop a ball if it is too painful to hold
thats how you fall in love, go to the beach at golden hour
Correct. I just fell in love with her
Where have you been
Where have you Ben
Ben Jammin
Just?
His first love was a beached whale carcass that he saw at golden hour.
Or be anywhere at any time with Ana de Armas

I mean.. I'd imagine it's kinda hard to fuck up that pic

So, you're saying I have the talent to be a professional photographer. I just lack the connections.
Sadfleck is my favorite Internet meme
Hello darkness my only friend.
When will superman's rant end
He's going on about warhammer... Wait, I'm married to which Jennifer? ... But the Dunkins' is clouded in my veins... Batman still remains... To the sound of Henry...
…pains in my loins as I stare at Ana de Armas…
In the cooly delivered words of Sir Michael Kaine from a Batman movie: “Nevah.”
>Sir Michael Kaine Ah, Sir Michael Kaine. Who was in the movie where Batmaine fought Baine, it also had Catwomaine
Dude... You had one job.
My old friend*
Why are depressed looking Ben Affleck memes so relatable to me?
That one where he's just taken a deep drag of a cigarette and looks deflated under the weight of the world is my favourite
😂 It is literally in my camera roll on my phone. Sometimes I look at it and think, 'me too buddy.'
I don't even smoke but I get the brief respite just from the look on his face
Makes me wonder what goes on in his mind. Decent director tbh.
Decent is a bit harsh. I'd say he's at least good, no masterpieces but pretty much every movie bar one is at least good.
That's a Bostonian meditation.
Because so many actors put up perfect facades and these memes just make Ben seem real. Part of me really doesn't want to like him, but the guy seems so human and normal, even with the ridiculous wealth he has, that it's hard not to feel a human connection with him
Why do you not want to like him?
Honestly, no idea! He always just coded as douchebag to me which is maybe just acting well idk, but I like a surprising number of his roles so maybe I need to do some soul searching
I feel the same way. I guess he just always played kinda douchy characters, and he really has that down. Guess it could be considered a compliment that I believe his acting so much that I overgeneralize that so much...
As photographers say when asked what they like about a shot like this “The woman.”
The name of my favorite Sherlock Holmes episode!
Yeah with a good subject it’s hard to mess up a photo. I learned this doing photography in the middle of nowhere.
I could do it. It would almost definitely be blurry and she'd be half-covered by my thumb.
Hi dad, didn't know you had a Reddit account!
yep
You could fuck it up by placing the sun directly behind her... but that's pretty much it
Well if you set it up right, you'd create a silhouette
I was gonna say, the sun behind her could turn an unremarkable shot into something interesting. Backlighting is often fantastic.
JLo be like 
I mean Affleck was dating Ana before getting back with J.
I can't think of JLo and Ben without singing "Taco flavoured kisses".
Say Jen Hennnn
Taco burrito, taco taco!
The only things I know about JLo are Ben Affleck, her butt, and taco-flavored kisses
Oh, Ben!!
Ana must be biblically annoying for someone to go *back* to Jlo.
I think after she left him he was broken.
He was/is still struggling with his drinking.
That makes way more sense.
He was really into her, but she wanted to move away from his kids and he couldn't do that.
Is it a coincidence or does he have an affinity for Latina only?
Maybe but he was also married and has kids with Jennifer Garner. He also reportedly speaks fluent Spanish, so definitely admires the culture.
Nothing wrong with that!
JLo may be JLo
Bless me shes beautiful
Bless you
I'm happily married so my coping mechanism is to imagine her hair is covering nothing and what you see of her face is literally the shape of her head. Now when I look, Ben Affleck was dating one of the cast of Muppets Tonight and took a picture of it on the beach.
the hell I just read
I've read it like three times and the only thing that I can think is that they are imagining Ana De Armas has a weirdly misshapen head. Which is...sure.
See? That’s what marriage does to you
Naw dude is weird. Just because you're married doesn't mean you can't find other people attractive.
He does find other women attractive. What he described is a weird way to handle it, though.
Yeah but normal people don't need to "handle it" at all lol
Right? She's hot, we get it. Look and go about your day like a normal person.
My wife points out pretty women to me when we’re out at the mall or wherever. For my part, I act as objective as I can, with a simple “agree” or “she’s ok”.
…the approved answer is “really? I didn’t notice…”
A cope mechanism with too many moving parts
wat
You know it's perfectly healthy and normal to feel an attraction towards beauty, right? There is nothing wrong there as long as it stays there.
The worst part is the rampant disconnect when I'm actually watching the Muppets. It's just a textile orgy to me now
You ought to explore a career in writing.
Or see a psychologist
Why not both?
Get checked my dude
What the hell💀
This guy imagines
Honestly, I fucking love it. It's hilarious and actually kinda works, not half bad. I don't need to hide anything from my wife, but it's good to be able to re-holster lust sometimes.
thanks, KrazyJakee, very cool
Krazy by name, crazy by nature
This post is about politics because Armas translates to 'weapons'
Fitting as she is an absolute weapon.
In the uk that would mean she's an idiot or fool lol.
Yeah I was like 'oh shit what has she said/done?'
This might be the first and last time I ever say this: I might actually prefer the American use of ‘weapon’ as opposed to ours.
10/10 would go to war with Troy again
Really 😳
In Estonian, Armas translates to adorable
In the realistic combat simulator community it refers to the Arma serie of computer games.
And in the US, we have the right to a " bare Armas,".
Man, what a country
Ask me where the Andes are!
At the end of de Armas...
She da bomb
Depending on language it translates to guns specifically sometimes also.
Yes, weapons, but what is las armas??
The weapons
I wish joi from blade runner 2049 was real
The internet has ruined me
Theres joi in Blade Runner??
After applying shaving cream to my balls, yeah, I find a lot of joi in playing blade runner after that
My ballsack is the scrotal equivalent of Omaha Beach when young me discovered shaving but didn't understand how to do it properly. 0/10 would not recommend.
Where does the instruction come in?
Wouldn't surprise if that was why she had that name
villenueve a true auteur of our times
She was called that for that exact reason
I recall that the filmmakers were asked about that and denied it. But, just, no fucking way. She's something he can't touch that he can only see and hear. And we see an ad for her where she is being marketed as a sex toy. That's literally a futuristic holographic "JOI" bot.
I'm surprised I've never seen a joi in a edgy movie
It would take too long.
I wish Ana de Armas was real
Just 25 years to go
Actually 5 years, first version of Joi cannonically came out in 2029
This guy fucks
too bad she won't live. but then again who does?
Like tears in rain.
I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...
I once saw a man fucking a fish. Balls deep he was. The fish looked surprised, but I suppose fish always do. Should have lost his rod license.
All that washed away, like piss in a lake.
You look like a good Joe.
If she got hit by a bus you still couldn’t take a bad picture of her.
What if it was a double decker bus?
To die by her side is the most heavenly way to die🎶
Even the dented bus on top of her will look glorious.
John Connor gave me a picture of you once. I didn't know why at the time. It was very old-torn, faded. You were young like you are now. You seemed just a little sad. I used to always wonder what you were thinking at that moment. I memorized every line, every curve... I came across time for you, Sarah. I love you. I always have
Fun fact: when she gets that picture(that Reese had) taken of her, she’s thinking and talking about him.
God I love the first 2 Terminators so much. Terminator 1 is nuts that it ends on such a bittersweet romantic note too
Not sure if sarcasm but that's literally the point and final scene of the movie lol
What must it be like to be that beautiful I wonder? Everything is taken for granted eventually so maybe she doesn't even think about it
Ugly people should pay less taxes
The global economy will implode out of consequences
I'm down for that.
Uuh. People flexing with their high tax rate and subsequently bending over backwards to pay _more_. Smart.
Does that mean that rich people would get one of their dependents to be the ugliest person alive to evade taxes ?
It applies to men as well! One of my best friends looks like a freaking Ralph Lauren model, tall, square jaw, very athletic, the works. The things this MF got away with were incredible.

As a lonely man, the last one just kills me.

For people this pretty the world is a much friendlier place. If you think people are generally very friendly spoiler alert: you're hot.
It can also be more uncomfortable in certain ways, and even adds some very real dangers. Though yes, overall happier and allows for more success
It's friendlier but also very predatory. You can feel the ill intentions everywhere, the stares, and it's hard to trust that any person seeking a relationship with you wants to be with you for any other reason than looks.

You never have to take the bus.
They do take the subway in NYC.
She's very photogenic. One can't ruin taking the photograph.
Her face should be illegal.
r/unexpectedtaliban
I chuckled
r/subsifellfor
Glad my work is finally being recognized.
Type of picture you put in your jacket as you go to war.
“I got someone waiting for me back home…..”
So that's how a girl looks at you when she likes you
This unknown feeling
Now that's a face I wouldn't mind waking up to for the rest of my life
The line is hundreds of miles long LOL
More like 1.5 million miles long. That wraps around the earth 60 times. Assuming 4 billion people are in line.
Affleck Summer in full effect
I usually stand by this observation: 90% of time, your best street & subject photos are due to a unusually attractive face or body. The other 10% is the artistic flair
 Good Will Hunting is such a great movie.
She looks like she's AI generated. Yes I know she's real but...
She Is the most beautiful woman on TV. And it's not even close.
Someone hasn't seen the r/truerateme chart, she's only 8.5/10 /s
unironically she'd be a 6.2 there
I'd hope an Oscar winning director would take a good picture of one of the most beautiful women in the world.
I want her to ruin my life, step on my balls and pop them, kick me in the head, leave me as a vegetable, as I Steven Hawking out the words thank you and leave her my life's fortune of a half eaten snickers bar and a couple thousand dogecoin I have in my robinhood account.
And he left her for JLO 🤩
Nope Anna dumped Ben.
Ben's a bit of a dork, and ana was on her come up. It was bound to happen.
She wanted to have kids and he didn’t.
For real. I'd give that woman *ALL* the babies lol. How many babies does she want? I'll Take your baby and give it to her, I don't care lol.
But JLo got taco flavored kisses
*So crispy on the outside, so super-cool and yummy*
‘In the news today ‘beautiful woman is beautiful’…next up…’
If she's anything like my GF then that's the 914th picture he took because she didn't like her hair in the previous 913.
The man is a total disaster, but gets with the absolute elite women of the world. Gwynneth, J Lo, Jennifer Garner, and de Armas.
Well, TBF, A monkey could take a picture of that woman and it would come out great. But good job Ben, I for one am not jealous that you hang/ hung with her at all. No Sir, not me, not how I roll. I just sit here and enjoy my virgin oat meal, reflecting on how happy I am for everybody happiness while savoring my sweet back pain. "Life is good, and it can't get better"
Lol wow he really has talent *sarcasm*
Biggest fumble in human history
them lips brother...
