I have no horse in this race, but if you are flogging a car some decent proffesional photos of it, washed and polished, in an eye catching pleasing setting look better than something out of focus with it wet and dirty, taken outside the scabby local takeaway.
I am sure the same applies if you're flogging yourself to some bints sex shopping on a dating site.
In fact the similarities to flogging an aging motor are many, lie about your past history, number of former keepers, and clock your mileage, do some cosmetic hiding of the worst body issues and exaggerate your "performance".
