I know, I know... it just sucks that people are like that because I really do get some awesome people that IM me randomly... people who I might never talk to if they didn't just decide to chat.

And yeah... no phone numbers for me!

Just put on your profile, ASK FOR AIM OR YAHOO SCREEN NAMES.

I do, and I get people who want to chat all the time.

it's good to be a male photographer, no hassles. 

I had an issues with a number of male photographers on here getting my screen name, and actting as if this was a dating site. 90% were GWC's, who I would never work with.

That is 'cause you're a model dear. 

I meant that as a male photographer, I put my phone and AIM out there for years, and haven't gotten 1 weirdo.  Thus, hassle free.

lol... I have nude photos in my port. He's probably not a member of the site, thus can't look at them though. Who the hell knows.

There are tons of free porno sites... I don't know why he doesn't just get his kicks there.

And right after I called him out about everything, he signed off AIM.  Embarrassed?

Just a heads up...

Someone with the screenname Mact1474 on AIM has been IMing both me, and my boyfriend.  This was all fine, until we realized he was telling us he was 2 different models on MM. (He told me he was a male model from LA, and my boyfriend that he was a female model from NY).

He's asking to see more nude pictures, and saying it's because he's looking for more concepts. Right...

When I asked him about it, he told me that he tells male models he's a female model because they're more comfortable showing their nude work to a female.

Ekkkk, I know the only real way to prevent this is to take my AIM off my profile, but I do get some great REAL models and photographers who IM me.  Just be warned....

Some parts of our convo:

mact1474:  I'm Luis, I saw you on MM earlier today
MaBabysGotaTEG:  ah, MM #?

mact1474:  i do love your port, i really would like to do some modeling with a female model and i just think you and i would do a really good shoot together
mact1474:  that shoot you did with the male model on your port, did it involve nudity at all?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  I've done many shoots with him that involve nudity
mact1474:  is that your boyfriend?
________
mact1474:  have you shot with other nude male models? and were you ok with them being aroused?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  I dont generally shoot anything that would call for them being aroused
mact1474:  oh ok well i have a photographer that wants shots of me aroused, i'm not really comfortable with it, i've never done it before... but i'm not sure if she wants that with a female model she had a lot of concepts
mact1474:  can i see some of your couples work?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  anything worthy of seeing is pretty much in my MM port
mact1474:  can i see the nude pictures of you and your boyfriend?
mact1474:  i just haven't seen many nude couple modeling i really would like to get references so i can figure out if it is something i would do
_________
MaBabysGotaTEG:  Hey can you send me a message from your MM real quick. I need to check and see if my messages are working. And i'm looking for those pictures for you.
mact1474:  yea def, where are you looking for those pictures? on your computer? a website? who was the photographer?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  my computer... it was a few different photographers
mact1474:  when you say erotic you've done porn with your bf?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  hey by the way... what's you're name?  I didn't look on your MM. I'm Ashley
mact1474:  I'm Luis
MaBabysGotaTEG:  No, just more sensual/sexual then a normal shoot.
MaBabysGotaTEG:  Did you get that message sent?
mact1474:  yea did you get it?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  No. Hey, can i ask you something?
mact1474:  yup
MaBabysGotaTEG:  Why are you talking to my boyfriend (rodeocowboy12702) and telling him you're a model named Ali (MM # 165174) and then telling me you're this guy?
MaBabysGotaTEG:  Do you not think we'll realize that its the same screenname?
mact1474:  i didn't realize it was your husband and i'm not ali to be honest but most male models won
mact1474:  t share there work with another guy i'm sorry
MaBabysGotaTEG:  So you just say you're this girl?
mact1474:  i just wanted to get concepts sorry
mact1474:  i can call you to prove i'm male
MaBabysGotaTEG:  I'd be pretty pist if i were her... and to tell you the truth, i doubt you're this luis guy either... since I just got a message from a photographer but you're message never showed up
MaBabysGotaTEG:  weird huh?
mact1474:  umm yes weird
MaBabysGotaTEG:  And no, I don't care if you're a male or not... the point is... you're neither person. And you're using these peoples identitys to get nude pictures
MaBabysGotaTEG:  nothing to say now huh?

MaBabysGotaTEG:  What you're doing is wrong. Period. I'm posting a thread on MM to warn other models. Have a good night perve.


At least it was entertainment for a few minutes!

Glad you posted this. Lets other people who have the same idea not to try things like this or in otherwords it helps the photographers and models who take their career's seriously to be aware of such people.

Photo.net for classy ones

Photosig.com for some class and a lot of cheese

Sounds like the "nudes" he was looking for you have to go to a paysite to see.
