Masks make it hard to flirt.In Asia and Asian culture, the mask is more about protecting others.

Not to say that it's purely altruistic because there's shame to a sick individual that's not wearing a mask. Some posters see masked faces as a creative obstacle for photography. I wonder if anyone responding to this thread thinks it's really an opportunity? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity or creative black hole. It's a choice in perception I guess. It's sure hard to see beyond this pandemic.

Those cloth masks that do not have a band of metal to better conform to the shape of the face allow too much expelled breath to sneak out upward to fog glasses.I have found masks that do not cause glasses to fog and do not interfere with my activities. So I can do what I want, socially distant.
