Over the past two years, with the impact of the pandemic, wearing masks has gradually become a daily habit for many people worldwide. Because of this, plenty of beautiful girls have been admired even though their real looks remain hidden behind masks. However, many believe that just by looking at the upper half of the face, you can judge someone’s attractiveness. This might be true to some extent, but definitely not always, as shown by this story that had the online community both laughing and cringing.

On December 13, the internet buzzed after the story of Naz Malek, a young man from Malaysia, spread across many groups and forums. When Naz visited a cafe, he was instantly drawn to the subtle beauty of the barista, even though her full face was covered by a mask. As mentioned earlier, just seeing half the face was enough for him to confidently say she was beautiful and he felt love at first sight.

Despite the mask, her big eyes, high nose, and flowing hair truly caught Naz’s attention right away. After ordering a coffee and sitting down, Naz said he wanted to do something because he’d regret missing a chance with a girl like her. Boldly, he asked for her number. He was happy when the barista smiled and slowly pulled down her mask. But that’s when things took a turn for the worst in Naz’s memory.

It turned out the “beautiful girl” Naz imagined was actually a man with a sharp face and a thick mustache. Another cafe staff recorded the moment and posted it online. The reaction was obvious: Naz was shocked and quickly turned away, while the internet exploded with laughter. This just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover.
