Being cool or creepy is all about context.

For example, when a photographer looks like Brad Pitt, and jokes around a lot, and hugs a cute female model after a shoot, and casually suggests grabbing a bite to eat, she sees him as funny and cool and sweet and friendly and fun to hang out with.

When a photographer looks like Ernest Borgnine, and jokes around a lot, and hugs a cute female model after a shoot, and casually suggests grabbing a bite to eat, she sees him as a manically laughing pervert who fondled her and asked her out on a date.

Well it depends on age. If the model is lets say 22 and the Brad photog. did that to a model it comes off better. But if the Ernest looking photog did that it wouldnt and its because of the age. Im 16 and get creeped out when a 20 sumthing year old guy hits on me and its because of the age not the looks you should see my boyfriend he's over weight but its so cute! lol I dont think the models do it because of the looks (many might) but it may be the age. : 0 )
